Yeah, and while it's true it can't really solve something you have to think about specific to your problem domain, I find it really good for common implementations. If I'm making a musi…

From their FAQ: > Can I record a Jitsi conference? > Yes. The easiest way to record is to live stream your conference to YouTube and access the recording there. You can try this now on meet.jit.…

On the terminal, I use `qalc`[1]. It's a nice natural language calculator that does arithmetic, solves quadratic equations/linear systems, does unit conversions and even a bit of calculus. C…

I think they mentioned CPU intensive work, which I'm taking to imply that it's more CPU bound than I/O bound. So unless you're suggesting they use Node's web workers implement…

SRT is a text file with a awk-able format that you can just write a script to update all the timestamps of. There's also a bunch of online services that do it. VLC has it built-in (track synchron…
