Professionals don't use FFmpeg and FFprobe. They use extremely expensive software that runs FFmpeg inside (and that vendor contributes nothing back)
Hey! I have a question.
Is FFprobe actually a reliable tool for analyzing media files?
Do professionals really use it in real projects or are there better alternatives?@FFmpeg

I'm stoked to showcase our implementation of vector search for PlanetScale. This is not a HNSW plug-in for MySQL (like pgvector, etc), it's a full fledged index managed by InnoDB that scales into terabytes of vector data. planetscale.com/blog/announc…
In case anyone was wondering why I haven't been keeping up with my open source projects ;) winebusiness.com/news/people… – at Paso Robles, CA

After a lovely summer off, I’m now looking for work. My preferences lean towards something in or adjacent to the infrastructure/operations/site reliability space. Open to both FTE and contract.

Just saw the news about Google Domains shutting down. I'm pretty surprised about it. You know who's not shutting down? DNSimple! Yep, we're still here and still innovating. And there's a lot coming this year! dnsimple.com

UPDATE
We are closing ticket sales on 1st April (not an April Fool's!)
This is going to be an intentionally small event (< 200 people), and the only way to attend after 1st April is to be a sponsor.

In exactly 90 days, I'm going to be hanging out in a Swiss alpine retreat with top leaders in tech, open source and VC.
It looks like this👇
In the spirit of previous events I've run with @paulca, guests will start in three smaller groups in Zürich, Innsbruck and Milan.
