There are economy of scale advantages to using standard protocols and hardware: the R&D is paid for by the computer industry, which is much larger than the audio industry. Many NICs have support for PTP hardware clocks and hardware time

AVB/TSN has a lot of great things about it but it's a market failure outside of proprietary audio systems (e.g. Avid, Presonus) and the automative world. The fact that it requires not just the endpoints (which themselves require a

I started working on an AVB to AES67 gateway, still a work in progress (back to day job now), but code is here – https://github.com/PADL/OpenAvnu/blob/lukeh/avb/README.AES67...

Yes, I think we called them quad-fat back then?

Ah, NetInfo. So many memories! The HP was a nice development machine, definitely faster than the slabs.

This is great, thank you!

It would just be a VST built for ARM, no? They’re different plugin interfaces.

Back in 1996 I ported a fairly large (exactly how big I forget) workflow framework that had been developed in Objective-C on NEXTSTEP to Windows. It didn’t use Foundation, so we didn’t need much beyond gcc and some general portability elbow

So you push the emulation boundary up as high as possible, rather than at the syscall interface? Good idea!

The COM support in CoreFoundation (such as it is) is... unusual. I have actually used it but it doesn't give you much from memory, beyond a way to locate plugins by UUID and the IUnknown ABI layout.

Well, even before XPC there was Distributed Objects. In the mid-90s NeXT had a bridge between COM and DO called D'OLE, which remoted COM before Microsoft did. Of course, that didn't really take off, but it was a great example of h

I know, I worked on it :) It's not open source though.

Not too much in the way of BSD licensed CIFS server stacks, at least last time I checked. Most of them are proprietary or GPL (or CDDL, in the case of Solaris').

One Twitter thread I followed said something was trashing /var.

OT, what plugins? I’m a keen Pro Tools user!

I believe the current generation is stronger.

The catch is, if you want to securely mediate access to a shared resource, you need to have something outside your protection boundary do it, be it a kernel or user-space server.

The contracts are long but clear (I’m on Universal).
320.
by lukeh 7y ago
If you did the first thing, you’d be stupid, and in breach of your contract, just as if you shared it elsewhere. And it’d get taken down pretty quickly, algorithmically or not.

It’s a PoC, the endgame could be running it directly in the browser with WASM.

A nice nod to NEXTSTEP :) (in name, and I suppose somewhat in the original and largely unrealized microkernel philosophy of having more things in user space)

Also, null is not the empty string...

They all used hybrid kernels. Mach 2.5 in NEXTSTEP and OS X Server 1.0, Mk (3.0) in macOS.

Did anyone actually deploy Hesiod? I haven't heard about it for a long time. I remember implementing experimental support for it in lookupd when I was an intern at Apple in 1998 ;)

Well, reimplementing an API is essentially the Oracle/Google Java case, right?

Interix was a better POSIX subsystem; it took until WSL to actually be able to run Linux binaries on NT.

Definitely remember some issue where I wasn't getting events for one of the arrow keys (can't recall which off-hand) in my iOS app. Also, there's no public UIKit API for getting key up events.

Does it support SSPI (GSS) authentication?

Or maybe it was an intern project.
