Instantly share code, notes, and snippets.

These are notes while researching a way to convert a browser/website to a stream. This could be used for Facebook Live or for webrecording. TL'DR:

  • I started with Phantomjs - but that didn't support the html5 video tag
  • SlimerJS supports it, but there is no way to record audio directly (though this might come from desktop audio)
  • So I moved to research ffmpeg/X11/XVFB to record it with linux which works
  • But ffmpeg has no easy way to mix streams/overlays to I moved on to OBS with overlay browser support
  • I started researching options OBS in docker and it needed best a GPU , so I move to nvidia-docker
  • And so came across building game servers on EC2/AWS using GPUs and managed to run OBS inside of GPU g2x.large machine
  • I tried streaming to twich , which works great and managed to restream 4K 60FPS youtube on an AWS instance
  • Remote control works through OBS-Remote but OBS has kinda limit in types of features

Falsehoods programmers believe about time, in a single list

Falsehoods programmers believe about time

This is a compiled list of falsehoods programmers tend to believe about working with time.

Don't re-invent a date time library yourself. If you think you understand everything about time, you're probably doing it wrong.

Falsehoods

  • There are always 24 hours in a day.
  • February is always 28 days long.
  • Any 24-hour period will always begin and end in the same day (or week, or month).
