- ASS (Advanced Substation Alpha)
  
  Why is that not ASA? Or even ASSA.
  
  When I took a geometry test in eighth grade, I got a point deducted because I wrote ASS instead of SSA (side-side-angle) when calculating angles and side lengths of a triangle. Still got the right answer though
  
  Right in the nostalgia! Happiness is a warm genlock...
- I’m so old and tired, this isn’t even funny anymore. I’ll have to explain to some junior engineer about ASS. Then management will learn about this term “ass”, and use it incorrectly at every possible opportunity. Then when no one can explain ASS, I end up being “the ass guy.”
- I always chuckle when Jellyfin shows subtitles as "Full ASS".
  
  Never half ass two things. Full ass 1 thing
  
  Same.
- The default libass shaping engine,

ffmpeg command lines are straight up black magic.
Anyone who understands them is not to be trusted.
It's even worse than tar.
- GNU tar is easy and straight-forward.
  It's also completely incompatible with any other Unix, but then, what difference does it make is nobody can use them?
  
  A more complex but more commonly used program is rsync
  rsync -rav /home/user/Documents /mnt/usbdrive is treated differently than rsync -rav /home/user/Documents/ /mnt/usbdrive which is different than rsync -rav /home/user/Documents /mnt/usbdrive/ which is different than rsync -rav /home/user/Documents/ /mnt/usbdrive/
  It's a great tool for making copies onto drives, even servers. But man you have to double check how each folder path is laid out, otherwise it'll write the files of one folder to the main drive, unorganized.
- If they know Regex, assume you are in Sarumans tower and held captive until a hawk comes in.
  
  Writing regex is easy.
  Reading it again after a couple of weeks...
- The biggest pain in the ass I've dealt with was using a directshow lib to implement flash on a new camera we were supporting for a desktop application. Working with a device graph and pins is beyond frustrating. We're porting functionality to the Web and my dev working on the camera just needed to call capture image to trigger the flash.
- ffmpeg commands are one of the best use cases for ChatGPT

Wtf? Is datascope funny or am I missing something?

I thought it was going to be Lenna https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenna
- Me too

Pages are fractional now?
Man, I really gotta get with the times...
- "Section". They just used the wrong word ¯(ツ)/¯
- The bible is an old western book that orders itself so
- I've had text books that have page numbers in the corner as chapter-number. It's not unheard of. When I was in JROTC in highschool the cadet field manual had pages like this. I'm sure others did too but I specifically remember that one more because I was there for four years. (Had to be there for riflery team.)

Are you a tits or FFMPEG filter documentation on section 11.5 man?
- Please refer to section 8008S.
- Easy. We like them https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-all.html
