I'm working on a project to revive old QTVR movies[1].
After writing a couple of python decoders [2] for movie encodings from the 90's it got old quickly.
As luck would have it, FFmpeg has support for almost all video encodings under the sun. For my usecase I wanted to send one frame per time to FFmpeg to decode.
Luckily I found PyAV[3]. It's a Cython project which binds to FFmpeg.
Which brings me to the article. It reads more like a C bad, rust good.
Cythons tag line is: 'Cython gives you the combined power of Python and C`
Just wanting speed and less memory bugs, then rust will fare better. If you want to have the combined power of Python and C then Cython is
pretty cool.
I've been following the situation around Peter for a few years now.
Here's a documentary that touches on the panel with James Damoore that he mentions.
He was also a member of the Grievance Studies Affair[1].
They got a chapter from Mein Kampf published, rewritten in a feminist manner.
I think that shows how rigorous the gender studies field is in practice.
He was indeed reprimanded for social experiments on people.
Then again, how come a university isn't reacting when its personnel is spit upon and finds feces in front of their office door.
You might remember the moral outrage on a noose that was found in the garage of a black racing driver[2]. It's the asymmetry that is the problem.
For some context, here's the lock in streetview: https://www.google.com/maps/@52.0974077,5.1152216,3a,75y,277...
