Perhaps the GP meant to identify the two rights as the right to reproduce the composition (mechanical) and the master right. The royalty on streaming services for the former is even smaller than the latter.

Right, and under 1ms with HDX.

Looks like it's built with SwiftUI too, nice!

I'm kind of two minds here, the terms were clear from the start (it's a rental and the developer program is cheaper than it was at the time of the PowerPC to Intel transition). On the other hand, it did spend a lot of its time sp

There are some TSO-related preprocessor macros that are still there.

Well, Apple has been shipping ARM devices running XNU for the past fourteen years so there’s probably little value in a simulator when they can use real hardware.

The two people I use for engraving/part preparation are both using Dorico. I also use it for composition. It's occasionally a bit sluggish (on a loaded 2019 Mac Pro) but otherwise great.

Agreed.

I haven't read the ruling, but I'm surprised. Surely iOS is only licensed to run on Apple hardware, and any other usage would involve making an unlicensed copy?

I see undocumented instruction extensions as a special case of private API: it buys Apple the freedom to change the underlying implementation in the future. As long as done in a manner that is not anticompetitive, I don't see the probl

The 2018 Mac mini is, from all reports, a pretty decent machine for DAW usage. Many replaced their 2010 Mac Pro rigs with 2018 Mac minis + Thunderbolt chassis.

What about Linux servers for their own datacenters?

Transitive was acquired by IBM, not Apple. I believe some engineers ended up at Apple though.

Well, that was the beginning of Classic.

After Apple bought NeXT, they upgraded the Mach component from 2.5 to 3.0 (from Apple’s MkLinux project). But it was always a hybrid kernel in both NEXTSTEP and macOS.

I haven't watched it in a while, but you will probably enjoy Avie's oral history (along with Blaine Garst and Steve Naroff's). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwCdKU9uYnE

Agree with all the comments here. Once you get your head around it, it’s fast and capable – until you run into a corner case it doesn’t support (attributed text was the big one for me). Then you end up needing to wrap UIKit, which is straig

Perhaps archiving to PDF is the right solution to this specific dilemma?

The OS/2 subsystem existed and shipped up to Windows 2000.

Yeah, the sizing thing is a bit of a pain as the creates visible content fitting artefacts when contained in a list or stack.

I juggled both music and software for many years before deciding to focus on music (almost!) exclusively. This is a somewhat reductive analysis, but in my experience a successful performing or composing career doesn't require concert p

Depends on what you're doing, cheap USB controllers are fine for "data entry".

Apple, great products, terrible mice. Particularly this one. And the hockey puck one. And the Magic Mouse. Surely there was a good one at some point (maybe the ADB mouse?) but, I've been using third-party mice for too long now...

Major labels do license deals too (in my experience, they're actually more common now). So the artist retains ownership of the master recording, but the end result is much the same, as it's typically exclusive and the term is long

Bandcamp is great. If you're with a major, though, you will likely be contractually prohibited from selling through anything but the label's online store (I am).

If it only returned a Boolean, it would be impossible to design a secure network authentication protocol with it.

You can also read the linuxptp code, it's beautifully written.

AES67-2018 specifies packet times (latencies) of 125us, 250us, 333us, 1ms and 4ms. Senders and receivers may support additional packet times.
