We can "look at" a variety of factors and I am pretty sure that is what the poster meant. Not so much their physical appearance, but the overall visibility of their results. Cycling, for example, is an endurance sport, and gains u

I raced as a Category 1 USCF racer and worked on increasing a lot of thresholds as I climbed up the ranks. I would get my VO2 max tested every year and saw some improvements based on training, but I hit a limit. Other teammates also hit lim

Ah, the Timex Sinclair 1000! I would fantasize about having one while looking at magazines ads. You could buy the kit, build it and learn so much about computing, all for $99.95 US! Sure, the 1K of RAM was a bit limiting, but you could save

Good question. Is it an open source project that originated at Facebook? On the topic of open source, would it be possible to construct a license that removes the ability of bad actors to use it? Of course, a bad actor could use it against

Having a desire to increase your income is fine. For some, it is their primary motivation, for others it is a result of being recognized for producing valuable results. Each person has their own moral code; for some, even working for Google

People like to use the term treason a lot, but as it is defined under Article III, Section 3 of the US Constitution, their actions are not treasonous. If you can prove otherwise, I am all for it though! Specifically, the were charged with:

Right. In the case of the studio tools, artists could extend the application but not touch the core. Much like Ardour, having to build the application from source was more complex and who wants to make their users do that?

Nice article Paul. It is motivating me to take another look at Ardour. I have also worked on some very large audio/video authoring tools. When we made the new lighting tools at Dreamworks, you could only create the UI using the scripti

Thanks for the insight. It is super informative!

I like it, I bought it! Lot's of nice features and a tweaky graph UI. Added bonus for implementing the "kissing nodes" connection idiom. I would love see more prefabs, especially ones designed to emulate some classics synths.

I respect your expertise and agree that good tools can help find potential vulnerabilities. You aren't the first person to say that exploits created as a result from source code theft are rare and the theft is quickly publicly leaked w

I was wondering about pure foss dao's or even closed ones. Anything to do with software, a service or even hardware.

That sounds pretty darn cool. Are there any per-cursors or early examples of this today?

I wish there was (and I hope someone comes along and tells us!) During my switch to FF, I kept the Safari prefs dialog open and then copy and pasted the passwords when requested by a site in FireFox. It was a total drag, but in a few days

Firefox seems to be the only hope to avoid a duopoly dominated by forces that are anti-privacy and anti-user. I recently made the move from Safari to Firefox and I am very pleased. This being said, I agree with you about the optics of Firef

Many people I interact with are of the "If you aren't doing anything wrong, what do you have to hide?" school of thought.

They probably hunt exploits like that, but what is quite likely is that they have access to stolen Apple source code and scour it for type overruns like the one in CoreGraphics that is the cause of this exploit. I would estimate that the ma

Pathbird looks really interesting. I am trying to understand what the main product is. One can design a curriculum and the lesson content is hosted in a Jupyter Notebook? If you were designing a course to teach a language, that language wou

Why do you think that is? Pascal as a language? The IDE? Is there a lack of success stories or high profile applications?

Sure. I think they saved the best for the last, but I am biased as someone who has developed a lot of UI frameworks. The other presentations were great as well.

I am not sure Pixie improves over ImageMagick. Perhaps it has some more advanced blend modes or other algorithms that ImageMagick hasn't implemented. ImageMagick is really great for pipelines of conversions. I see Pixie being more of a

This was the final presentation at NimConf in June and I was blown away, as I am sure many others were. The fact that this library exists makes the task of creating a high quality retained-mode UI library in Nim much easier. You don't

Apple's culture of secrecy used to be to just not talk about what you were working on and don't talk about vapor projects. There was a big thrill to keep things secret for MacWorld, WWDC, whatever. Things changed, social media and

Yes, I was that day. And I had probably been there since 6:00 am the previous day. Pulling multiple all-nighters on various "super important" projects was typical for me and others. In retrospect, my advice is not to do such thing

Watching the footage on this site reminds me of how I watched the events unfold on 9/11. I was at work at Apple in IL2 (Building 2 of the Infinite Loop campus.) People started getting calls on their desk phones and co-workers coming in

Pricing isn't too bad if you don't want to go the GPL route. If your funding or revenue is $50k and under, there is no cost, but there is a "Made with JUCE" splash screen. If your funding or revenue is $500k and under, $

There are grid controls from the usual commercial vendors like Radzen and Telerik. I used them briefly during a free trial. It has a funny name, but MudBlazor [1] has been the MIT licensed library I have been using lately. I have been using
