   Same. I don't know much about 3-D modeling, but I took a Maya class years ago and was annoyed at design flaws in its UI. I didn't expect much from Blender, owing to the shitty UI offered by other widely-used open-source software l

   I found this quote particularly undermining of his credibility: "It’s entirely intuitive,” he responded. “Homo sapiens have been around for 200,000 years. Until the industrial revolution, we lived outside. How did we get through the Ne

   And isn't Lenovo perpetrating a bunch of anti-customer, John-Deere-style lockdowns and rip-offs on their hardware?

    So will he move to repeal egregious NEW taxes that have been heaped upon residents, like the extra gas tax applied a few years ago with the lie that it was necessary for road maintenance (CA already has massive gas taxes for that)? There sh

    LGPL IS about dynamic linking if you don't want to release your source. That's the workaround.

    And I do. I'm just saying that is not operating under GPL.

    You should be! As you can see, people are probably still talking about it 20 years later.

    How is it not a problem if you want to sell closed-source software? I guess you can dynamically link desktop applications (although I'm not sure how this works in Apple's Mac app store), but you can't do that with mobile apps

    We just built a desktop app with QML in a CMake-based Qt project, and I've been pleasantly surprised by the experience. Our brief experimentation with Qt Widgets, on the other hand, revealed a shocking level of dysfunction in basic UI-

    Sure, I'm not trashing the language, because I know nothing about it. Our whole dev team is C/C++, with random people who know Python and a few other things. I'm the only one who knows Swift. They're bright people and no

    "I just wish Google had built Flutter on a low level core that isn't tied to Dart, so it would be usable from other languages." Exactly. Dart is a deal-breaker. I was tasked with choosing a cross-platform development solution

    And CompuServe wasn't even the Internet. It, like AOL, was a glorified bulletin-board system. AOL tacked Internet access on as an afterthought. I remember getting personal developer support from Microsoft on CompuServe in the early &#x

    Some colleagues of mine worked at Google, and their reports do not reflect well on the management style there. People are pitted against each other and forced to downrate one vs. the other in periodic reviews, using a graphical tool built f

    EphPod was way better than iTunes. It was free, straightforward music management for the iPod, and in fact the only way for Windows users to use an iPod. To this day, iTunes (or "Music") still can't automatically keep your li

    From the beginning, iTunes lacked simple functionality that EphPod had. Remember EphPod? It was the only way 95% of the world could use an iPod, because it was the only Windows software to interact with one. And it was free. For example, a

    Apple already removed the audio output from its best-selling music player: the iPhone. Might as well get rid of the dedicated music player too. Meanwhile: Sign up for Apple Music! It's the future of Apple!

    Cool. Recently I had to decide on a cross-platform solution for Mac, Windows, and potentially iOS and Android. After looking into quite a few candidates and reading a lengthy thread on here covering that very topic, my conclusion (and that
