just to fill this up.

Google hid a fully working flight simulator inside Google Earth back in 2007 and never told anyone.

You unlocked it with a secret keystroke: Ctrl+Alt+A. No menu, no announcement. One user stumbled onto it, the combo spread, and it got popular enough that Google made it official the next year. Two planes, an F-16 and a Cirrus SR22, flying over real satellite imagery of the entire planet.

Then it stayed locked inside the downloadable desktop app for 18 years. The browser version was a stripped-down viewer that couldn't run it. Today that changed.

Here is the part that makes it impressive. A flight simulator is the single hardest thing you can ask a 3D map to do. Panning is easy, the software has all the time it wants to load the terrain ahead of you. Flying low and fast strips that away, forcing it to fetch, decompress, and render the world faster than you are crossing it. The hardest possible job for every part of the system at once.

So "just for fun" is carrying a lot of weight in that sentence. Getting this to run in a browser tab is the cleanest proof that the web version finally matches what used to need a desktop app.

The toy is the benchmark.

This year's 2AM talk.

Addison : "Why don't boxers have sex the night before a fight?"
GG : "Stop it,"
Addison : "Because they don't like each other very much."

Addison : ""If I try hard enough I could get us cancelled by 2AM."

📣 F1’s battery management racing is NOT the same thing as endurance racing / sportscar racing.

Thanks for coming to my Tedtalk.

[FFmpeg @FFmpeg]

Zerodha's $100k donation to FFmpeg, while by their own admission not using it that much, makes it even more generous.

Companies with businesses depending on FFmpeg should (but probably won't) learn from such generosity.

[Tamil Gramsi @TamilGramsci]

In this song from the movie vagai sooda vaa released almost 15 years back you can see snail being cooked for the hero.

Tamil film industry always did something which was not possible in other industries

But the advent of Ranjith and other s like vetri mari made the industry more political and more anti caste.

Are you guys blind, jury members? 🥴🙏🏼

[FFmpeg @FFmpeg]

Professionals don't use FFmpeg and FFprobe. They use extremely expensive software that runs FFmpeg inside (and that vendor contributes nothing back)
