in 3d and Audio the data is anything BUT constant. You will have to be more specific than that because I do not understand what you mean. Anything can be turned off and on.

Yes and Yes. VPLs are indeed specific purpose and its because of information density. Contrary to what you may believe a VPL is not the evolution of TPL , its actually the evolution of GUI. Reaktor for example is an evolution of VSTs , syn

Every time a VPL (Visual Programming Language) has gone against a TPL (text programming language) , VPL not only has come out a winner it has massacred its opponent. There are 3 areas that I am aware of that VPLs have appeared a) modular au

Software as a service is an excellent way to protect against piracy which is why its growing so fast. You can offer your client your software free that he could get through piracy but instead you keep him close and offer him a monthly servi

I am against any form of sand boxing and crippling my control of a system as a developer. Which is one of many reason I hate web developing with a vengeance. Even more than I hate Windows ( though win 10 seems to have potential ). I am a bi

Eeeeeeh ... you know .... iOS is just a mobile version of MacOS ... to be specific it's macOS code plus some code to make it mobile friend. Thus there is zero need for a merge.

In Greek the equivalent to "dentist" is "odontiatros" which translates exactly as "tooth doctor". So for me a dentist not regarded as doctor sounds extremely weird.

Praise text programming languages all you want and you will be correct. Programming languages used by coders are by far text based. However when you leave the coder land and when you jump to user land this turns on its head. Overwhelming r
