ffmpeg.exe -i video.mkv -ss 110 -crf 30 -preset veryfast -vf subtitles=video.mkv:si=0 video.mp4
i had to hard encode subs to make anime playable on my old phone, this is what i used
ss 110 skips the first 110 seconds, skipping the intros
crf 30 is really low quality but significantly reduces filesize
preset veryfast just speeds up encoding
-vf subtitles=video.mkv:si=0 is a filter to hard encode the subtitles from video.mkv, using the 1st(0) subtitle index (english) - you look at streams by via ffprobe
the problem i had was trying to map select the video, audio, subtitle streams while also hard encoding them with a filter, in one pass. i still dont know how to do this, but this seems to select the right audio and video streams without specifying it, leaving only the subtitle stream necessary to specfy, which lets you filter it since no mapping is done. it is simple but i spent an hour figuring it out. i really wish someone posted this to the stack overflow thing regarding converting mkv to mp4 and retaining subs

what am i even supposed to do with programming
i learned a language (atleast, the fundamentals of how it works) and thought it was gonna be a great hobby for an autist like me and i could put all of my time into it, but i half assed what i finally wanted to do with it in the first place and now i cant even get the motivation to even do any more of it. 90% of the time youre just staring at documentation and googling stuff and i cant be bothered when i dont even know what i wanna do with it anymore.

The uh standard answers is you
-solve simple everyday problems that arise in your computer use
-solve standard challenges like idk advent of code, that kind of shit
-do something for your own amusement, like a game or shaders
-learn a lot about languages and never actually write programs just argue over their design over the internet

>>68400I have been stuck at that point for years, mostly because the things i really wish i could make are only suitable for highly skilled developers. I feel like there is a gulf between what i can make and what i could be passionate about making. I think it is the same for artists that struggle to enjoy making art while their skills are still developing. Perhaps the only solution is to push through it and make things for the sake of learning until inspiration strikes and you think of something you can do and want to do

My problem is setting too large goals and then getting overwhelmed and demotivated as soon as I run into the smallest hurdle. I'm trying to make a game with raylib and it took me two weeks or so to even get it set up properly because I kept getting linker issues. It's like that with everything else for me too. I get demoralized too quickly. It's difficult to accept and internalize that it's alright to suck and to not have expectations for myself.

>>68805Yes, and look what actual good that did.
Not being facetious here; learning to read provided _what_ exact benefit to the average mill worker or coal miner? A few distractions on the way to the grave? Sure, 1 in 100 found better employment prospects… but for the greater number of that era's normies, learning letters benefited them next to nothing given their lives were spent in manual labor or vocal socialisation - and the communities which *already* valued literacy, learning and the accessory skills took the jobs they were going to get. I'd suggest the analogy holds today.
>>68806He's partly right.
You can now ask ChatGPT "Give me a simple script in such and such a language that performs such and such a task", and get close enough to what you need that you don't have to learn much else. You can then ask in natural language for the procedure to use it.
I've been a professional programmer for 10+ years now; chatgpt does 30% of my job for me, and I expect it will get better. But 50% of my job is safe because that's the part that isn't writing programs. It's figuring out what needs to be written, and that requires domain and context knowledge - which isn't learning programming.
If you're not out to achieve something specific or that hasn't been done for free yet - and learning the incidental, non-programming skills required to achieve such and such - then ChatGPT already does your job and we don't need you.

>>68922>I'm thinking of learning memory-safe C++ instead of Rust because it has more libraries availableThat is a very good reason i think. I far, far prefer using rust but almost every time i try to think of a project i want to do it is a bad choice because of the weaker situation with libraries. It really depends what your goal is, though. Languages are best suited for different purposes of course. I am still considering putting more time toward rust myself because my strongest interests are in software that requires the highest possible guarantees of security

>>68924I think I determined that for me Rust is overkill for just writing applications. Even if I tinkered with microcontrollers, drivers or robotics again I might still just use C unless there were actual high stakes involved. You can write microcontroller firmware in Python.

Now after I shat on Rust, I am beginning to see a good use case for it: writing a compiler. It is a performant language (more so than Haskell) that supports pattern matching and other features good for writing programs than transform input into output.
