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).

#Capture and stream a webcam To capture using the iSight camera on a Mac, or infact any other webcam connected to the Mac, we can use FFmpeg. First get a list of the devices installed.

ffmpeg -f avfoundation -list_devices true -i "" 

This will list the aviable video and audio devices.

The below will capture at 30fps and the set video size to a file. ffmpeg -f avfoundation -framerate 30 -video_size 640x480 -i "0:none" out.avi
