GDC has a YouTube channel. I’m not sure how far it goes back but they put a lot of good videos on there. https://www.youtube.com/@Gdconf/videos They tend to post them a few years after the fact and don’t always have t

I wonder how is Gutenberg not ready? We’ve been using it for 3+ years. It can be a little clunky but graphic designers and content creators like it for simple page/post layouts. It’s not always easy but it always seems logical.

They are much better now. The pro I know went from a canon 5D mkiii to mirrorless R5? (Classical performance photos). It’s quiet fast and the new lenses are better/smaller. The lack of A mirror means it’s faster as it doesn’t have

thats a pretty good idea. I went to a university that had a music department and practice rooms. (Keep people from playing in the dorms). They were pretty soundproof rooms, and many had a piano. I used to walk around and sometimes duck in

We do a lot of work with large datasets. PHP 7&8 are so much better than 5 in terms of memory usage for large datasets. Its not magic though, and I'm not surprised a compiled executable is many times faster, especially for math he

Somewhat oddly this song fits into a weird slot in history: “ A quirk of the law restricts which aspects of “Let’s Get It On” (1973) are under copyright. For many songs made before 1978, only the contents of the sheet music submitted to the

There is an android version that works on my samsung. While it’s very “desktop”ish it’s amazing with the sylus. The brushes are fantastic allow quickly painting grass and leaves.

Reminds me of all those open source maintainers, putting their work out there only to be contacted with demands by entitled end users. Except in this case those end users want you to pay because they looked at your code..

It was hard to back up media. Those vcrs had macro vision that made coping bought movies hard (we tried). Without the internet it was hard to tell why it was failing. You could tape over the air stuff though.
