Quanta used to have tons of good stuff and not much crap. Now there's enough crap that if there's still good stuff, it gets lost in the noise.

Now do power laws.

Wiesner was quite a character but he died a few years ago, so wouldn't have been eligible for this year's award.

- https://github.com/steelbrain/ffmpeg-over-ip/blob/main/fio/f... - https://github.com/steelbrain/ffmpeg-over-ip/tree/main/patch...

I am not sure they'll be accepted for upstreaming, but in exploring the options, I noticed ffmpeg has sftp:// transport support and there were some bugs surrounding that. I do intend to publish some patches for those.

Show HN? What is that? :-)

I've been reading hacker news for ages, but somehow I missed that there was some convention relating to showing technology on hacker news.
