I would like to give this a try, but I don't want to support Facebook in any way. I saw a couple of headsets mentioned below. Is there a definitive list out there of competitors? As an aside, I used to use VPL eyephones, VPL datagloves

That recent post made me think about my support strategy as well. I guess I could call you with this question (only a 3 second wait time right now!) but I would like to add your answer to the comments. I would like to set up office hours wh

That is a bummer about the expired certificate. You can access the site using http instead of https if you are comfortable doing so. I have never seen this live REPL before and have just used their Github repo to get the latest: https:&#x

I read the paper and I didn't come to that conclusion. Can you explain why you think that? Here is their stated purpose: The primary objective of this work has been to bring forth the issue of the growing depletion of editors, especia

What would be really interesting, and possibly impossible to do, would be to get all the character designs that were rejected during the development process at the various studios. As has been pointed out in other comments, the GAN is gener

I really want to see what their tool is all about. Nathan, are you out there? Can you share any details on the tool or release dates?

I have a rather complex application that is a mix of C++, ObjC and Swift. I humbly consider myself an expert in all three languages and worked on AppKit while employed at Apple. Perhaps Swift is slightly more accessible when you begin devel

The shorthands mystify me as well. I have taught a few courses using Swift and the shorthand notation, as well as implicit variables like oldValue and newValue in setters, are confusing. You can try to ignore them, but eventually a student

Yes, Google is taking the heat now, but you could probably also find situations where Apple, Amazon, Microsoft and others has been in similar positions.

I understand your view about petitioning to change the law. For an employee of a company such as Google, is their only recourse, when disagreeing with a position their company holds, to quit? The employees of companies like Google generate

Can you help me understand what you mean by a viable cloud? As for what I would expect Google to do if I were a Google employee, I would not want them doing business in countries with a history of abuses. We can try to parse what abuse mean

Those covers are great! They remind me of the Choose Your Own Adventure book covers from the 80s. I don't know what what style to call those illustrations other than awesome!!!

Impunity? But seriously, I am far removed from the San Francisco news cycle. Has Mayor Breed been overly vocal or cruel to those who have differing views on masking? Does this seem as tone deaf as Newsom dining at the French Laundry?

- Can you identify a need in yourself, as if working on/with a third party client? - Can you build something that person is more likely to like? - Is this relevant in any given long-term scope for you? That will look more like a susta

If you follow American media, you will actually see accusations against Facebook, Apple, Google, etc. "censoring" content all the time. Have they gone as far in America as what the article indicates; removal of applications in Rus

This is interesting. It is like an oppositional amicus curiae. If you don't agree with a law, you will file suit as an advocate of the law to test the validity of the law. Does the US legal system allow this? I know it is easy to file

I noticed that and was slightly surprised. Does anyone know if there is a special visa carve-out for non-degreed Canadians?

This is really interesting observation. Much like the author, I also dropped out partway through a degree to do startups. Boy was I surprised when I (US citizen) was stopped by Canadian immigration and asked to show my degree when I was arr

It never hurts to ask. It also never hurts to learn the appropriate way to phrase questions that are genuine. For some reason, a pattern develops in some people where they think there is value is just asking why all the time. It is best to

Some people find joy and satisfaction in developing systems. I don't have total insight on their plans, so I am not going to ask "What is the point?" I prefer never to ask "What is the point" to anyone unless someho

I agree with the ease of use, but I won't author or read Medium articles anymore. I am sure Medium feels that it is providing a valuable service by providing a platform for authors to monetize their content. I would prefer to pay an au

OPML could be part of a solution for authoring blogs that then can publish using RSS. It is an interchange format for outline with attributed text.

RSS is too personal, too much outside the flow. I have no idea about "too personal" mean, but the only reason you would consider RSS "outside of the flow" is due to the concerted effort by Google, Twitter, Facebook and

Ah yes. Good point. We wrote a lot of custom software, internal to DreamWorks (or PDI in my case) with no intention of commercializing them. Some of the tools did end up getting used by other studios, but that wasn't an intended goal.

We used it at DreamWorks Animation, but also had our own various 2D bitmap editing tools. I can think of a few reasons it fell out of favor in the 3D animated film space. Any process that required artists to come in after a render was compl
