ffmpeg docs include none of the protocols/file formats.

It would be equally "trivial" to say no to personal compute as well. So maybe the problem is manufactured by all of us.

You cannot be fully free if you're attached to physical goods. It may sound like pseudo-Buddhist claptrap, but it's also true. Or, I suppose, Fight Club claptrap. It's still true. The choice is "do you want to participat

Sure, our streets are shit, our legislators are actively trying to ruin the tech industry, we spent $130B on 300 yards of train, policing in large cities is a disaster, and the "best state school system" translates into an educati

Wait, we created the unholy unity of troff and markdown? Kidding aside, that kind of misses the point of either.

Most metrics teams are reasonably competent and are aware of that. Excepting "growth hackers" I haven't been in a single metrics discussion where we didn't talk about what we're actually measuring, if it reflects

Define "without Xcode", but if you mean "without using the IDE", yes, absolutely. You obviously still need to use signing pipeline etc, but that can all be done via CLI. As for "non-trivial", here are Chrome&#x

No, you really don't. Apple would like you to use it (god knows why), but it's not necessary.

Probably not the only one, but it's pretty much the least interesting thing to find jarring about the whole experiment. People anthropomorphize. Nobody really finds it "jarring" in most contexts.

They are also collectively rational, as a response to an ecosystem that's spun out of control and habitually consumes rats nests of dependencies. Early participation and beta programs are outsourcing careful engineering via making ever

And yet, aviation safety keeps improving. I didn't miss that point. I'm saying it's blown out of proportion, and that diminishes the value of the actually important content.

I really wish we'd stop arguing about AI with an "some automation failed, so all automation is bad" approach. Yes, AF447 crashed due to lack of training for a specific situation. And yet, air travel is safer than ever. Yes, t

That's a bold assertion without any proof. It also means you're so helpless as a developer that you could never debug another person's code, because how would you recognize the errors, you haven't made them yourself.

I see we're once again missing the existence of indirect impact. There's a reason organizations look at revenue/engineer overall instead of trying to attribute it directly to specific teams. I guess his students get to relear

Very much not. Its origin is as a mathematical notation for algorithms. It was used to publish research reports and (IIRC) a book or two. You're confusing "possible to read" with "accessible to people unwilling to invest

Without showing the prompts and responses, it's yet another meaningless AI benchmark. Many of those numbers do not really match what I've seen in the wild, and without clear illustration why you arrived at the number it's n

The issue isn't even just the prescription. It's that your health care system the doctor is in builds a few extra hurdles. I've talked to my (non-tele) doctor about GLP-1. I've tried losing weight before, with her, there

The article is written using AI, so unless you verified the complaints, the safe default assumption is that they don't exist.

You might value it differently, though. The company also would be giving you money if they, e.g. , gave you sets of annual Disney tickets, or a family membership in a luxury gym. That's the whole point - there's an unlimited amoun
