I feel like where this debate breaks down is in trying to apply the same license to both reusable libraries and finished products. For a library, an MIT license is much more likely to get it adopted in a finished product that is accessible

In particular, the scheme doesn't necessarily refer to a protocol (e.g. application-specific schemes like `chrome:` that don't involve network access at all).

If you get a pebble stuck in your shoe, you can usually get over it within a couple minutes, and start to ignore the minor annoyance. But if it stays there all day, it could eventually get pretty painful. It all depends on how much walking

That relies on a number of speculations, most importantly that GP was incorrect about the event having only been published on Facebook. I've seen enough small organizations work that way that I wouldn't be so hasty to second-guess

I'm not sure I see the benefit of that. If the plain English version is good enough to be legally binding and fully explanatory, they could just use it. If it's not good enough, but is still presented as part of the ToS, then it h

Email will notify you of events that are only publicized on Facebook? :thinking_face: I mean, to be fair, even Facebook won't necessarily tell you about an event unless the event creator pays them money to promote it. It's actuall

So does using an alphanumeric passcode instead. Especially if you include capital letters and punctuation that you can access with a swipe starting at the shift or number key (so you never actually tap the key that produces the input).

Very much so. It’s a useful layer to build an API on top of, but saying a device speaks OSC is like saying a backend service speaks HTTP.

There’s also MIDI timecode, which has to send at four messages per frame (up to 120 messages per second), and whose entire job is to convey timing. It’s basically unusable over WiFi.

by seandougall 7y ago
OSC is fantastic in many ways, but it makes for a pretty inefficient (and unnecessary) replacement for the primary use case of MIDI, which is note on/off messages. It’s much better suited to some of the other layers that got bolted on

Costco fits a rather different definition of “bulk”. They carry 50 lb bags of rice, but they don’t have dispensers where you can fill your own bag and pay by weight, which is what GP was almost certainly referring to.

It’s not zero — those -retain and -release calls still exist when necessary and have a small penalty — but it does minimize them well, and is lower overhead and vastly more predictable than GC.
