via Sander (@bergmeister@mountains.social): This looks excellent for stabilizing those outdoor activities videos. Free and open source.
Gyroflow is an open-source, Rust-based video stabilization tool that uses gyroscope data recorded by action cameras, drones, and mirrorless cameras to smooth footage and level the horizon. It handles lens distortion and rolling shutter correction, supports GPU-accelerated realtime preview, and ships plugins for DaVinci Resolve and Adobe apps — impressive for a free, cross-platform project.
LosslessCut is a video/audio editing tool that cuts and merges media files without re-encoding, preserving full quality while completing operations in seconds instead of hours. Via Accidental Tech Podcast..
A Changelog & Friends episode on self-hosted media servers — Plex, Jellyfin, Emby and the rest — and why keeping your own library still beats renting from streaming services. A good listen if you’re thinking about reclaiming your media from the cloud.
via Martin Fowler (@mfowler@toot.thoughtworks.com): @emilybache@sw-development-is.social has set up a github repository with code samples in several languages for the opening chapter of my Refactoring book. She’s posted a video to her YouTube channel where she introduces this Theatrical Players kata.
Martin Fowler works through the Theatrical Players kata from his Refactoring book, narrating each small, behavior-preserving step as he goes. Watching someone with this much experience talk through the reasoning behind each move — and lean on tests at every step — is far more instructive than reading the finished code.
via codepilot (@codepilot@chaos.social): It seems that “The four horsemen of bad #Rust code” by @mre@mastodon.social from #fosdem2024 is now available https://video.fosdem.org/2024/h1308/fosdem-2024-2434-the-four-horsemen-of-bad-rust-code.av1.webm
A FOSDEM 2024 talk on “The Four Horsemen of Bad Rust Code” — the recurring anti-patterns that show up when teams write Rust that compiles but fights the language instead of working with it. A good watch if you’ve ever wondered why your Rust code feels harder to maintain than it should.
via Finn Voorhees (@finnvoorhees@mastodon.social):
A Metal-powered command-line tool for upscaling video on Mac using Apple’s built-in machine learning frameworks. Nice to see GPU-accelerated video processing made accessible as a simple open-source utility.
via Rust Weekly 🦀 (@rust_discussions@mastodon.social): Linus on Rust in the Linux kernel (December 2023)
Linus Torvalds sits down with Dirk Hohndel for a wide-ranging keynote conversation at the Open Source Summit. Always interesting to hear Linus’s unfiltered thoughts on the state of Linux, development practices, and the open-source ecosystem.
via Martijn Faassen: One of the things I like to do when winding down is watch Jared Rydelek (Weird Explorer) taste some unusual fruit and review it. I am years behind in his voluminous archive of videos so there is always more to watch. So many types of fruit, it’s wonderful!
via Laura E. Hall: 5) Timelapse photographer Vincent Woo attached a camera to a BART train in the Bay Area, capturing footage to create “Tunnel Vision: An Unauthorized BART Ride.”
via Jason Gorman: Another lucky dip from my video channel: 7 Myths of Test-Driven Development Debunked
via yosh: Oh fun, now watching: “Flux: Liquid Types for Rust.”
