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

It is no secret. The Infinite Loop campus and the new campus are both on superfund sites. There are signs posted in the lobby ways exiting to the parking lots outside and to the inner campus. I think people are so numbed by seeing Prop 65 w

One aspect of Electron app, is that typically you can use the most of the same code in the browser. Would you expect to see the same result from this project; ClojureScript code running in the browser and JVM-backed Clojure running on the d

I doubt that any paying user will be interacting with your system through a browser, but the browser-based demo could do a better job with status. You do show some activity updates, but it would be nice to know where in the overall process

I went very deep into OpenCog and finally had to concede that there just wasn't enough rigor and coordination between the compoents. Goertzel seems easily distracted by various other subjects. I realize that he has to figure out ways t
