The malicious code wasn’t in the source code people typically read (the GitHub repo) but was in the code people typically build for official releases (the tarball). It was also hidden in files that are supposed to be used for testing, which get run as part of the official building process.
The technique you linked is, even at a couple years old, a pretty cutting-edge technique. You aren’t going to find it or something similar in any video editing software. Maybe someone’s made a plugin for one if you are lucky.
However, there are a lot of free tools that make it easy to split or rejoin audio and video, and convert it between different formats.
Id recommend:
Audacity if you want a GUI
FFMPEG if you want a command line tool
VLC can also do a lot of conversions FFMPEG does if you dig through its features (it’s basically a GUI wrapper for FFMPEG)
The constitution says the government can’t limit your freedom of speech. There’s nothing protecting you from your employer (or any other non-government entity) for reacting to your speech.
My photo library is like 300GB (although I suppose I take a significant amount of video). I also have 30GB of downloaded music. 128GB is really not enough.
macOS: there are very few issues, but when you encounter one, it’s impossible to fix
Linux: there are lots of issues, and but they are all fixable, but each fix might be a rabbit hole of figuring out how to compile someone’s GitHub project they seemingly abandoned 4 years ago.
Say I'm doing what you describe, operating on the same data with different functions, if written properly couldn't a program do this even without a class structure to it? 🤔
Yeah thats kinda where the first object oriented programming came from. In C (which doesn’t have classes) you define a struct (an arrangement of data in memory, kinda like a named tuple in Python), and then you write functions to manipulate those structs.
For example, multiplying two complex vectors might look like:
Programmers decided it would be a lot more readable if you could write code that looked like:
myOutputVector = myVectorA.multiply(myVectorB);
Or even just;
myOutputVector = myVectorA * myVectorB;
(This last iteration is an example of “operator overloading”).
So yes, you can work entirely without classes, and that’s kinda how classes work under the hood. Fundamentally object oriented programming is just an organizational tool to help you write more readable and more concise code.
To add to this, there are kinda two main use cases for OOP. One is simply organizing your code by having a bunch of operations that could be performed on the same data be expressed as an object with different functions you could apply.
The other use case is when you have two different data types where it makes sense to perform the same operation but with slight differences in behavior.
For example, if you have a “real number” data type and a “complex number” data type, you could write classes for these data types that support basic arithmetic operations defined by a “numeric” superclass, and then write a matrix class that works for either data type automatically.
It’s not a win. Apple is still requiring apps to undergo app review and even more exorbitant fees than distributing through the App Store. Apple is doing their best to comply to the letter but not the spirit of the EU ruling.
Software isn’t reliable because older software typically doesn’t run on newer machines. This is mostly due to changes in libraries that software relies on, but sometimes can also be do changes in the actual architecture of the CPU.
