This is pretty foreign to me. I put that line in because my team has actually organically suggested "Let's go have lunch!" or play a game together. Nothing mandatory or forced by a manager, just something because we do enjoy getting together from time to time.
How much of a population has to meet a criteria for a generalization to become acceptable? I would say 2/3 is a nice measure. For sure, 2/3s of Americans live far beyond their means. I also think that the word "average" is implied when talking about large groups, by default. "The Average American lives beyond their means" to most people has the same meaning as "Americans live beyond their means."
Piling on here, this is obviously a Bad Take. In order to use fd, you need:

1. To know what the terminal is. Most people do not.

2. Either Homebrew or MacPorts installed. At this point you've lost the majority of the people who vaguely know what the terminal is.

3. Familiarity with how unix commands work, what "flags" are, how to write them, how to specify filepaths.

4. How to debug those commands when you invariably get it wrong.

5. Since fd just dumps filepaths, you need to know how to inspect them further and open them.

Yes, $6 is more than worth it for many people. All you need are eyes and the ability to use a mouse and keyboard.

Well, let’s look at it from a different angle; not the angle of the user or the developer, but as a matter of computational work and the energy consumed by that work. In a single application or even the life of an application all it might be negligible. But when does it not become negligible? What if react adopted the change and every react app What about for every react app in use suddenly used a fraction less computational power each render?

And is it just a monetary cost?

Yes, if energy use is your primary concern there are easier ways to reduce it. But in the above context it seems clear that you should take your gains where you can get them.

Early comment in the thread but I wonder if the overall “zeitgeist” opinion of C#/.NET/Microsoft has changed. Used to be in /. days that a lot of people stayed away from Microsoft stuff, preferring Python, Ruby. Then Stack Overflow came and things slowly started shifting.

I do internal dev tooling in C#. It’s one of the best languages out there for raw “get shit done” prowess. I’ve used many languages throughout the decades, some more elegant than others. Like others, I’m a bit wary of the explosion of syntax shortcuts and alternatives, but whatever, its no big deal. It’s a great all-around, general purpose language. I would love to use F# more but I don’t think some decisions they’ve made would go over well with many people.
Other good answers that I won't repeat.

Hackworth | Software developer | UK REMOTE | Full-time (fixed term) | https://www.hackworthltd.uk/

Hackworth Ltd is a private limited company based in the UK. Our first product is a novel web-based visual programming language designed to teach functional programming to beginners. Our tech stack is Haskell (backend) and TypeScript + React (frontend).

We're looking for a frontend web developer to join our team and help us ship this product. You should have at least some experience developing & testing bespoke, highly interactive UIs. Experience with D3.js, Visx, or similar visualization libraries is a bonus, but not required.

This is a full-time role on a fixed-term contract (until April 1 2023). Depending on how our product launch goes, there may be an option to switch to a permanent role sometime down the road. Due to the product schedule and the amount of time required for someone new to ramp up, we need someone who can start more or less immediately.

We are fully remote within the UK. You must be eligible to work in the UK, as unfortunately, we can't sponsor visas at this time.

The full job posting is here, along with useful information about what it's like to work at Hackworth:

What's crazy is that there are so so many variations of GUI options for FFMPEG. Typically, the GUI is limited by what the creator's use of FFMPEG tends to be. Which by all means is not a knock against it. It serves a purpose, and if it serves a purpose for them it probably is useful to others in the same way.

Then there are those that want a more generic version that allows all the bells & whistles to become available in the GUI. However, now you need to have a much better understanding of FFMPEG which the vast majority of FFMPEG users don't know (I myself learn new things everytime a new task is given).

At the end of the day, give it a go yourself to build a UI on top of FFMPEG to expose all of the things you just requested and see how painful it can be. I've done it multiple times for multiple jobs and not one of them was the same. It gets even more fun when you have sources with a combination of discrete and interleaved audio streams with high channel counts. Now, you have to probe the source and provide that info to the user to allow for output audio considerations. Based on those, you then need to potentially merge/join/split/map the audio. It's maddingly fun to those with those sense of perversions like me.
> I like how you ignored the next paragraph where I said he disparages everyone and went straight to telling me I’m sensitive. I’m not surprised though.

He may do this occasionally. Your original comment said "always".

> Always disparaging and insulting people who don't agree with this controversial views

So I didn't feel the need you address it, because you were arguing something different than what you originally said. I don't think you're sensitive, I think you don't use words like "insult" with precision.

Quality organic search results is the reason they can have ads above the fold. There's tremendous financial incentive for them to care about that.

Yes. Got to the point that I was taking dementia medication. A loop was a major challenge for me.

After a few years it came down to two issues.
I had a clotting disorder. (Factor 5 Leiden) I was suffering minor strokes (TIA) without knowing it.
I had high cranial pressure (IIH), which leads to brain fog.

When I started blood thinners, and got IIH under control It was like a flip was switched. Problems that had been taking me weeks of work were done in minutes.
I do now! Thank you.
This is a point that seems to be conveniently left out by most return to office advocates. My coworkers in Boston, DC and SF often had hellish commutes, up to 2 hours each way. That is a serious chunk of the waking hours of the day to spend on the road, not to mention the huge cost and environmental impact of the fuel, the emissions, and the additional roads that needed to be built to support these commutes. The status quo in major American cities was well beyond the point of insanity and the frog had truly been boiled over time.

For every person that took a jaunty walk down the block, or a breezy bike ride to work, there were many others that had to make a major sacrifice to come in each day. We can't go back to the way things were, it just didn't make any sense.

I enjoyed my time in the office, but those days are behind me. I have more money in my pocket, more time, and more quality of life. I get to be near my family all year instead of in a random city where I am rootless. I'm not going back.
I already do this, I have a budget app that I look at almost daily.

My "splurges": I give myself $150 a month to go out to eat. $30 to treat myself to a nice coffee every once in a while. $100 on video games. That going out to eat and coffee budget is part of a $200 misc budget (so I could decide to do a show instead of going out for example). I stick to my budget... but I am not leaving myself a ton of money here. If I got all of that, that's $300. But then... why bother working if I am just going to hate my life because I literally can't do anything?

That $300 is not going to make the difference between this being sustainable and not.

The small stuff is not the problem here.

Edit:

Regarding your yearly big stuff, I agree and that is taken into account as well. A couple years ago I put in the hard work to figure this out and I have continued to adjust it as need be. It finally hit a point this year that my rent raised higher than my pay raise (plus everything else going up) that I had to make the decision to cut things like Netflix. It is at the point that I feel like I have made nearly any reasonable cut I can make without removing my ability to at least do some things.

What they should really do is take those productivity gains and use them to allow the same number of workers to do less work each, for the same pay.
If it makes you feel better, Google doesn't have a second gold vein yet, either.
The functionality is totally already there, both from the command line and from the GUI. If you need something more sophisticated you can pay for it. I never have needed such a thing, but I'm sure there are people for whom it is worth it.

There does happen to be a bug in the normal functionality--that is unfortunate, but Linux certainly has its share of bugs also.

>Why think when you can just have paranoid fever dreams instead.

Your insults toward me win. I have been flagged on my post and unable to post on HN. If I can reply again I will.

>This is simply wrong.

I'm here for conversation. I'm nobody from nobodyville; dont have cancer and never smoked. If you have points to make like others are doing, then hell ya. Telling me I'm wrong without explaining how im dumb doesn't really help me be less dumb.

So quick breakdown. In the 1990s when we had peak lung cancer. It was something like 3% of lung cancer folks were non-smokers. 97% is quite significant to say smoking = lung cancer.

In 2006-2010 it rose to about 20% were non-smokers or at least didn't admit to smoking or having an occupational reason. General thought was just exposure in history and forgot. Perhaps second hand smoke? Nobody yet saw any real data suggesting any problem with this.

Right before covid, it was over 50% were non-smokers and no occupational reasons.

There was big research in Canada to evaluate radon but that came up false. Cancer clusters would seem like a radon relation but evidently not.

There is a positive correlation between diesel exhaust but certainly not explanatory. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_exhaust

A known bigger issue is causing cancer and we need to address this. Not continue pretending like it's just smokers or old people. I guess that's the plan though? Having figured out this flag worthy controversial reason I do understand why they make this decision. It is and isn't a conspiracy. They are choosing probably the right decision.

I'll just leave these here because I can't reply to anyone else.

Right; the labs most associated with nuclear work are LLNL and LANL. Both have had, IIRC, clusters configured for dual work- they could be partitioned between confidential and public work. The lab I wortked at, LBL, only did non-conf work but I know that LLNL took our codes and used them for nuclear simulations... errr, stockpile stewardship using multiphysics combustion codes.
just from this comment, using -filter_complex seems like a much better option. in fact, on past experience, I couldn't see myself building an FFMPEG command builder and not use filter_complex.

I've put this exact comment and asked for a Korean translation:

> 정말 흥미 롭습니다.

Almost correct, but "흥미롭습니다" (lit. be interesting with an implied to me) should be a single word.

> "이봐, 잘 지내? 오늘 어떻게 따뜻해질 수 있을지 모르겠습니다. "모국어로 systran이 100 %을 얻은 유일한 언어입니다. 구글은 가까웠지만 기사와 명사를 뒤집었다. 다른 사람들은 "알지 못한다"와 "알지 못한다"를 섞었다.

"I tried out" is completely missing, and "in my native language" is joined to the next sentence "and systran is...".

The quoted sentence is, when translated back to English, something like "Hey, are you going well? I don't know how [something] can get warm today." Like most other machine translators LingvaNex is clueless about Korean honorifics (the first sentence is informal while the second is formal here). It does get a colloquial Korean expression for "I don't understand" (lit. 이해가 안 된다) but doesn't get the dummy pronoun, so it somehow assumes an unspecified entity as a subject. The position of the closing quote is also off.

The first quasi-sentence after that quotation became something like "[it] is the only language that systran got 100 % in a native tongue". Even after ignoring the inconnectly joined "in a native tongue", the dummy pronoun seems a culprit again here where "the only one" got interpreted as a language, not systran.

The next sentence reads like "Google was nearby but swapped a post with a noun." A Korean word 가깝다 (lit. nearby) has a slightly different nuance from English "close" so it has to be paraphrased. LingvaNex interpreted an article as, uh, a newspaper article which is not a synonym in Korean (the correct word should be 관사). And it somehow also switched back to informal expressions.

The final sentence reads like "other people mixed 'don't know' and 'don't know'." This is kinda hilarious; LingvaNex actually understands both expressions are more or less equivalent in Korean but doesn't know when they have to be distinct.

> 나는 항상 이러한 시스템을 평가하는 가장 좋은 방법은 구어체 연설을 처리하는 방법, 우리가 종종 당연하게 여기는 것이지만 "문자 그대로"번역하는 것은 정말 이상하다고 생각했습니다". 나는 대부분의 언어가 그 정확한 감정에 대한 문구를 가지고 있다고 확신하지만 그 단어 ( "당연한 것으로 받아들이십시오")조차도 번역하기가 어려울 것입니다.

The first half is so hopelessly mangled that I can't give an English equivalent. I mean, each part is reasonably translated (including the phrase "stuff that we often take for granted" which translation is pretty much correct) but the wrong ordering messes everything up.

The second half is more reasonable: "I'm confident that most languages have phrases for the exact feeling but even that word ('take it to be natural') would be hard to translate." What is "the exact feeling" is unclear due to the reordering, and "take it granted" got translated too literally, but otherwise sounds fine.
