Cultural differences, especially with increased tourism in Japan lately. There's a lot we can learn from each other and people like to share their experiences. Is it really that surprising these topics come up more often?

Sure, but there are a lot of non-western cultures out there. What's surprising is the prevalence of posts regarding Japanese culture.

Like outside? It's so wild to me how some can step into their living space (or even bedroom) with the same shoes they use outside.

Having grown up in South Africa, moving to the states was the first time I ever heard of such a thing as a peanut allergy, or shrimp allergy, or gluten allergy, or any kind of allergy that wasn't having to wear a medic-alert bracelet to indicate an allergic reaction to penicillin.

Removing one's shoes before entering a house isn't a thing in South Africa.

Filth can sometimes be a good thing.


Yep, getting a 503 service unavailable when trying to npm audit. And of course their status page is green.

Crazy how even npm doesn't run their own tools to test uptime.


Launched a suite of media inspection and encoding tools a few months ago, based on FFmpeg. Slowly getting more customers.

Constantly iterating through refinement and features. It's built on Rust + Tauri with a React frontend, in case anyone is curious.

I've created various open-source and commercial tools in the multimedia space over the last 10+ years and wanted to put it all together into something more premium with an IDE-like experience.

Most recently I added a /playground area to experiment with the inspection tools via a WASM build, which I thought was a neat way for users to try the app before downloading the full version.

Happy to answer any questions!


One of my favorite pieces of software. FFmpeg has done so much for my career. Happy to see it still going strong.


I always tell friends to just go to any east exit and make their way outside. That's most likely where they're headed and it's easier to navigate outside the station than inside.


This resonates. I feel like this is also how I go about networking and making new friends, by joining or building a community and events around them. From personal hobbies and even workplace related events.

Never take community events for granted. There's always people behind the scenes putting in the effort to make it happen, it didn't just come out of nowhere.


I've only owned 2 GoPros, the latest one I purchased back in 2020. I use it mostly for motorsports related content and it did it's job well, but never had a need to replace or upgrade to the latest. Now there's so many options.


Ignore the haters. I really enjoyed reading your article as a GR Yaris owner. This car is so much fun.

I'm not into video editing, but it looks very nice!


Thank you!
