• 19:35 UTC (new) (history) 2024-09-23 npm clean-install --ignore scripts - it's a trap . . . . mbork – A few days ago I was scripting a Node.js project and I had a very specific need. I wrote a script run as postinstall, but I wanted to launch it only in specific circumstances.

This time I’m going to fix yet another minor annoyance. The srt files contain timestamps with millisecond resolution, which doesn’t make sense at all – when I edit subtitles for a video with 50fps, I don’t really need such precision. Instead, it makes sense for every timestamp to be rounded to the nearest 20 millisecond. I decided to write a simple piece of Elisp to do the rounding for me.
