Splice's numbers aren't public so I can't comment on their success. Avid's are, and they had a terrible quarter - and they're the poster child (alongside Adobe) for subscription licensing in creative software. But I

I know of a few shops that took VC money. The big problem isn't the market size so much as how slow the market moves. The product lifetime of a plugin is around a decade. And users hate subscriptions. And it's really hard to deter

My professional experience includes developing tools for major production environments (7-8 figure budgets for audio content). I don't really want to launch into a rant here, just to say that my "prejudice" is very much post-

Is this a joke? There's so much overhead in getting a working setup compared to MacOS, and only one of the major DAWs even runs natively on it. The tools are far from "excellent" compared to the offerings on MacOS and even Wi

The biggest problem with tactile controls is that once they're in the field they can't really be changed. Touch screens allow updates to add or remove elements without changing the physical design, and allow the same physical desi

I care about a lot of people, and me going about my business in public puts my family and your family at too much risk to justify it. Businesses can be rebuilt, jobs will come back. Lives won't. The government has the ability to keep s

How about "don't."

I'm one of those people. I don't want my parents to die because some people couldn't suck it up for a few months. Get mad at your government, not people that are afraid for their loved ones and being unable to make it to thei

I don't really know much about this guy or his business, but I can't help but comment that the tone and phrasing he uses comes off as "I'm an asshole." I know that's less than civil, but that was just what I gl

I deal with a lot of "works on my machine" bugs, but the reason is we can't go cloud native. Or cloud. I'm really interesting in a cross platform, rootless and low overhead containerization solution for native desktop

Sure you can. Prices fluctuate all the time. Your customers don't like being swindled. And oftentimes, when a price jumps, they feel swindled. I think the consumer's swindle perception factor is more dependent on the second deriva

People with other options don't take private equity buyouts. Some captains go down with their ships, others get on the first lifeboat.

A huge point of the article is that valuing search ads like that is highly susceptible to selection bias. My point was that the value of an ad is to displace other ads, in other words the measurement you look for isn't how many people

I wonder if the only tangible value in advertisement isn't to increase your revenue by convincing consumers to buy your product, but to decrease your competitors' by convincing consumers they don't exist.

I've spent the last two weeks working on provisioning scripts to make that possible for enterprise products. It's hell.

It's not the jargon of functional programming, it's the jargon of type theory and PL design. So maybe start there?

No, those face more threat from ARM M4/7 cores or RISC-V units with vector/SIMD coprocessors. DSP cores are being lifted out of discrete chips and placed as IP blocks into more integrated solutions, with the really complex algo st

It starts being cool way more quickly on typical /* nix systems as a developer Due to subtle binary incompatibilities in shared libraries, a CD pipeline I maintain costs twice as much money to run in order to target MacOS and Debian sy

I think the biggest difference is that you wouldn't use this chip at all, or a chip like it. The entire audio IP stack can be put into a single chip these days, depending on the fidelity and power constraints. I2C on one side of the ch

To me the question is moot if the problem is llvm. I don't know if that's the case or not. Modern tools require modern hardware. If the problem is that the target constraints don't allow modern tools to be used, the problem i

I haven't carried cash in years. I could go through the steps manually. But why would I willingly increase the friction to making a purchase for myself?
