I work in theatre tech in Baltimore, and Figure53’s QLab software has a good model: You sign up for an account, you can purchase a license, you can download the software onto machines, you can open files for free but need a license to save

When we raise concerns about crypto’s riskyness, people like you show up and say “investment involves risk” and frame crypto as a speculative investment. Then when you’re gone someone else will show up hyping Bitcoin/Ethereum as a curr

Honestly, in my experience, the drive for bespoke styles isn't from developers, but from product folks and stakeholders. For instance, I once had to build a CMS UI with a dropdown where users could pick how they wanted to sort their se

Most people who use one of these will be doing so through an EC2 VM (or equivalent). Given that cloud platforms can spread load, keep these GPUs churning close to 24/7 and more easily predict/amortize costs, they’ll probably buy t

Sure, but the way Nvidia names generations is far from obvious. It seems to be “names of famous scientists, progressing in alphabetical order, we skip some letters if we can’t find a well known scientist with a matching last name and are ex

When I was in college I scheduled my classes late so I could sleep in. When I graduated college I moved abroad and taught at a school where I had to show up at 7AM showered in a shirt and tie. It kind of sucked, but I was able to make it wo

I don’t think they will. There’s no incentive for them to do so, and there’s absolutely monolithic inertia behind “nine-to-five” in most places on Earth.

Most workplaces, upon seeing that you’ve done this, will say “look, you can reinstall the corporate profile, or you can hand back the computer, or you can be fired.” (And if they catch you doing any circumvention to prevent them from findin

This sounds fascinating. I almost want to get it just so I can learn what is meant by “The cursus publicus was hailed for its efficiency, at least until Justinian got his hands on it. “

My partner was showing me a Doja Cat TikTok last night where she was singing an old song with an “old age” face filter on, and the effect was stunning. Super realistic wrinkles, contours and skin texture, it never glitched out and had no vi

I see you haven’t watched The Book of Boba Fett. I can assure you the deepfake technology is now… fully operational. Everyday misinformation techniques were already really bad, but things could stand to get a lot worse.

Is that even true though? I thought they frequently copied merchants’ products as Amazon Basics if they were selling well? Because if that’s true, it means they’d rather have the business themselves than advertise for someone else (at lea

I may be able to speak on this specific issue! (I had to get this license approved by legal recently) Lodash is MIT, but contains a non-standard clause referencing the fact that it’s based on Underscore.js. Legal said this was totally fine,

My guess is that they haven’t wired the iOS Simulator to use the M1’s hardware acceleration. I’m pretty sure WebGL (which uses OpenGL ES) is hardware accelerated on M1.

I get what you’re saying from a philosophical perspective, but I think there are a lot of developers and shops that might care more about achieving this “anti-SaaSification” goal than they do about what the FSF thinks. You can try and use t

Not invest, divest. They’re trying to stop Western funds from selling off their interest in Russian companies.

Yeah, I see this kind of sentiment everywhere these days. Just because people disagree about things doesn’t mean it’s a subjective issue you can just wash your hands of. Sometimes you just have to dive in, figure out who’s right (or less wr

Hefty increases in oil prices have a way of changing people’s minds. Particularly people who don’t normally care about politics.

By this logic, almost every designer is incompetent or ignorant. Styling form elements is not an extreme position, even if you might want it to be.

Part of the problem is that people say “I’m telling you someone’s making a buck, just follow the money”, then they don’t actually follow the money. For many people, it’s enough to just say that catchphrase and not even bother looking into i

Yeah, I don’t feel a ton of sympathy here. He wanted to seem a “tech cool kid” who disrupts traditional media and is above normal corporate stuff, and he either wasn’t willing to let the facts get in the way of that narrative, or just assum

Yeah, I’d like some explanation of how the author “knows” LE is an NSA asset, and how one could determine that a CA is not an NSA asset. (And I won’t accept “all CAs are NSA assets” without some deeply compelling evidence)

If you think there’s a new kind of license that should exist, that’s one thing. Maybe other people agree, and you can start (or better, join) a movement around getting that license recognition and usage. But if you’re not talking about ad
