They are hiring them to handle the disposition of unneeded tokens of currency. I don’t see how that violates the prime directive…

Are the two of them so different that it would matter?

But ffmpeg works fine on other platforms without VideoToolbox. So why do I need VT for vt-enc? Wouldn’t it work just fine on other platforms as long as ffmpeg is available?

So when vt-enc only creates ffmpeg commands why is VT a dependency for the whole prpject?

An alternative: https://alfg.dev/ffmpeg-commander/

Provides a web interface to generate ffmpeg commands (works on every platform).

Out of interest: What does VideoToolbox do in that context? I found nothing in the readme that would require anything else than just ffmpeg. Or is it just the compiling of a custom ffmpeg build that is VT specific?

Someone complaining that Google chose “privacy over functionality” was not on my bingo card…

This. If the file can be generated from the repository it should not be put inside it, but if you need it to build the project it should (unless it is an easy to install external dependency that should be declared in a Readme file).

I don’t think so. If the app is doing something useful it will stay. If it provides just a wallpaper, a static PDF to read (think of user manual apps) it will be removed.

Because the crew sees itself as researchers, scientists and diplomats. There is no reason to have a hazard team. We can assume that the encounters we see on screen are only the unusual ones…

Maybe it’s a combination of both the sheer abundance of energy and the ability to create almost everything out of it…

It’s like Futurama but in the Trek canon…

This is often done for consistency. Especially (although I have to admit that does not apply to TOS) when also heavy makeup or prosthetics are applied.

The code probably checks if the following number is greater than 10 (which fails for NaN) and otherwise adds a 0 in front.

I always liked the idea of away missions. Beaming down to a different planet every time and exploring all of them sounds so exciting!

I am currently working on implementing OpenTofu because I want to integrate it with a Gitlab instance and Terraform has been deprecated recently, but I have to agree the alternative doesn’t seem to be ready yet.

I bought some USB-C dongles when I switched, but I only used them once in several years to connect my phone to a rental car which had no Bluetooth audio.

So he proved his point, didn’t he…

We were really trying hard, but there were no Android devices with FireWire 400 port available so we couldn’t connect to our developer team’s hardware…

No I’m not. Why would I use feet to measure a mountain’s height?

I am wondering why it adds up to exactly 100%. There has to be some creative data handling happened with these numbers.
