Both of those killings sparked protests, and are subject to ongoing investigations and lawsuits.

Well, the National People's Congress / CCP define and frame that practically for you.

It's not like 1.4 billion Chinese have much say in that.

If I am wrong, please remind me again how much say Chinese people had on the escape hatches of Article 51 in your constitution.

Platformio is not simple by any means. That few .ini files generate a whole bunch of python, and this again relies on scons as build system.

That's a nice experience as long as you stay within predefined, simple abstractions that somebody else provided. But it is very much a scripted build system, you just don't see it for trivial cases.

For customizations, let alone a new platform, you will end up writing python scripts, and digging through the 200 pages documentation when things go wrong.

Are you ignoring the codex desktop app on purpose? Or the integrations?

CCC always has been explicit far left/green, looking at its history, as other people in here have mentioned.

Yes, but what has shifted is "the left", to a point were it has basically been taken over for very specific agendas.

I suspect that Chinese models are largely forced to open source as a trust building step because of general China-phobia in the west.

The obvious bias of the models, when it comes to Chinese politics and history, certainly does not help here.

It's also a fundamental problem of security research. Lot's of irrelevant, highly contextual "vulnerabilities", submitted to farm internet points (driven by a broken cve system). AI only amplifies this.

People like to think that they are anti-establishment and disruptive at a startup. They conveniently ignore who is writing the cheques.

Care to ellaborate? Not shitting on libavcodec here, I would also guess it just beats a new project on raw performance.

But according to the repo, this project also uses both slice and frame multi-threading (as does ffmpeg, with all the tradeoffs).

And SIMD usage is basically table-stakes, and libavcodec uses SIMD all over the place?

No amount of internal review and coding standards and etc will catch all of these things. You can only hope that you build the muscle memory to catch most of them, and that muscle memory is forged through being punched in the face

Everything you mentioned is security 101, widely known, and can be caught by standard tools. Shrugging that off as a learning experience does not really hold much water in a professional context.

The “manufacturing phase” of software is super thin, even for most basic crud apps, because every application is different, and creating copies is practically free.

This is not true from a manager's perspective (indoctrinated by Taylorism). From a manager's perspective, development is manufacturing, and underlying business process is the blueprint.
