mseo··on Ask HN: What are you working on?
To transcode the video, yes. I could also download the created webm directly but twitter for example is very restrictive about video formats. The webm won't work there. On linkedin it actually would work directly.
mseo··on Ask HN: What are you working on?
https://clips.fm - A tool that converts podcast audio to shareable & social media ready videos.

The video creation and the transcoding is all done in the browser, so it was quite a technical challenge. It's far from perfect, but it works and it's improving every day.

mseo··on A Short Story for Engineers
That story seems more or less to be a myth, too. And there seems to be a good reason why they used from pencils, which they used in the beginning to pens:

"Pencils may not have been the best choice anyway. The tips flaked and broke off, drifting in microgravity where they could potentially harm an astronaut or equipment. And pencils are flammable--a quality NASA wanted to avoid in onboard objects after the Apollo 1 fire."

mseo··on Ask HN: What books changed the way you think about almost everything?
I just read that one and found it interesting, but also a bit shallow. Do you have any recommendations on what to read to dive deeper into this topic?
mseo··on Ask HN: Going from Developer to Manager. What should I know or learn?
Thank you for the insights!

Giving feedback seems to me especially challenging - I'll definitely read Radical Candor.

mseo··on The fake Facebook profile industry
I really like outline.com (they also have a chrome extension), which shows a stripped down version of the article. It works pretty reliable with medium and most other common sources.

Just have a look at https://outline.com/vznfxw

mseo··on The Netherlands has become an agricultural giant
I live in Berlin, too. But I never heard someone joking about deliberately eating cheap and/or bad food. Who would do this anyway?

I guess you're talking about various prejudices of others. But that's a whole other topic.

mseo··on The Netherlands has become an agricultural giant
I could not disagree more. I actually never met a german who joked about being cheap with food. Quite the opposite is true.

Also the per capita household expenditure on food[1] is above the average of European countries. Higher for example than in the UK or Austria, which have comparable incomes.

mseo··on Ask HN: Best passive income method for a solo developer?
Do you know https://www.indiehackers.com/ ? They have interviews with coders on their stories. Maybe it's a good inspiration for you.
mseo··on Working with Search or NLP? Here are some cool datasets to mine
The AOL Dataset doesn't exist any longer. Most of the other datasets are from Yahoo, where you only get access with an university verification.
