Convert pngs to mp4

This FFmpeg command reads images named frame_[4 char digit].png and converts it to an mp4 using the h264 encoding which Twitter accepts. The bitrate is set to 5M to reduce blocking as much as possible while keeping the size small.

ffmpeg -framerate 10 -i frame_%04d.png -c:v h264_qsv -b:v 5M video.mp4

Convert and scale an existing mp4 to 1080:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v h264_qsv -vf: scale=1080:-1 -b:v 5M output.mp4

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).
