It's a great UI to ffmpeg - I wish they gave it some credit on their landing page.

My main frustration with the person I was responding to is that a lot of the terms we are arguing about are ill-defined, and yet he's arguing them with a lot of vigor. There is also a time dimension to software. I have been on some occ

The big question is, can we find counterexamples to your model of reality in actual reality. And if we can easily do that, what does your apparent over-confidence about your statement say about you? E.g. https://bellard.org/

I don't mind that it has that many points - I actually really like the work that guy did. What I don't understand is why all the comments are so weird. It's like everyone who had a bad day decided to come here and take it out

I am not sure if you are really young, but you definitely sound like either nothing quite earth-shattering has happened in your life, or maybe some stuff has happened, but you have chosen to be very selective about how you digest it. Someti

can you stop tone-moderating people who are trying to share how they feel about something?

The blog responds to a very particular aspect of the fallout from the crowdstrike outage. The "Responsibility lies on large numbers of processes, teams, and people" was actually addressed in the article. It makes the case that exe

So what happens when this hypothetical machine of yours, that has enough NIC bandwidth to process the scale of data that needs to be streamed in both directions, enough CPU power to handle millions of concurrent requests in a process or a t

My assumption is that the comment I was responding to addressed Google Docs specifically (which afaik is web only?). If this is the case, then your options to run locally would be for the conversion to run in your browser, or for you to hav

What is often frustrating to me at least is the arbitrary definition of "safety" and "ethics", forged by a small group of seemingly intellectually homogenous individuals.

The whole piece reads like superficiality dressed in sophistry to a maddening degree. Like a messy soup of wishful thinking inspired by the style of Georgi Gospodinov

Man stay out of topics you don't understand, or at least don't make ignorant snarky comments. "no taxes" here was obviously used in the sense of "not enough taxes". Also, reading a 10-K cannot answer whether a

I agree in principle - Discord can only scale that much - imagine having a discord channel instead of docs for Pandas . Obviously it would be best if there were great docs for everything, a lot of easily searchable Q&As + sample project

The criticism of open source software the author presented is a lot more nuanced, and I for one agree with it. Even long before loot boxes etc, the overwhelming majority of "original thinking that used to create interestingly novel exp

My point was not to single out the Ottomans as the only bad actors in the historic context - that's what I meant by those times were cruel. The west was still shaking off the last few years of the dark ages when the Ottomans establishe

"At the beginning" there was a war that the Ottomans won. Then, at that very beginning, all of their non-muslim subjects were given the status of rum millet ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rum_Millet ) - second
