Yes, Audacity definitely requires that. It can't open or save mp3s unless you separately install ffmpeg.

iirc, the video player application VLC used to come without any mpeg support, and you had to go through a process to download ffmpeg separately ...not sure how easy it made it to replace individual libs, but I'm also not sure the licen

I'd like to propose a corollary to Gall's Law. Actually it's a self-proving tautology already contained with the term "lifecycle." Any system that lasts longer than a single lifecycle oscillates between (reducing t

Yeah, fine... but it's like daily that a non-tech-savvy friend of mine tells me they just installed some shiny "harness" on their laptop now to organize their emails, and they "just put it in one folder" and "8

Well they're English, they invented the language. I don't know why they're trampling on it.

I hate how British people say "agreed" as if it implies "was" and "to". And lots of other things it implies, such as who, when and why.

Domain specific knowledge has been the moat for a long time, hasn't it? Outsourcing isn't new. Maybe you can do in a weekend for $500 what would have taken a month and $20k before, but code itself isn't a barrier to competiti

This is quite insightful. Often in my projects, some central nouns come up over and over again in discussions about architecture, until they become embedded in the actual software and the interface. Since I started using AI tools to assist,

We needn't be cowed into saying otherwise, but throwing a bomb at him is something else entirely. If you're convinced that wicked people are running the world, the response isn't to be wicked.

Oof. You may have just named the next frontier in our becoming unmoored from base reality. That's gonna be a gold rush. And I hate that this just gave me a brutally demented idea for a dating platform. I have a conscience, damnit.

But longshot bettors have it easy. Society quickly forgets all the predictions that don't come true. It remembers the one that did, and treats the prognosticator as a prophet. In social terms, predicting doom is an asymmetrical strateg

If your only measure is whether something is effective, then state and corporate violence will always be a lot more effective than individual acts of violence. You could even say that individual violence helps the state to commit violence

This is the first project where I've really let AI to do more than work on a single file at a time. The trouble is, there's no way for it to be useful without a fairly large context. When it runs out, it starts doing things that a
