Except Publisher was never good compared to the competition.

Why do I feel like the old man yelling at clouds that programmers refuse to use their brains anymore?

All the AI-brained people are acting like the very AIs they celebrate.

That's horrifying.

The public domain exists.

Nice to see the Zenph recording get some love. It's such a fascinating process they had to do. It's way better than the original Gould recordings with all his singing along.

I spent a long time on a Bach project that didn't really sell well, but I was very impressed with the final result.

A system for buying arrangements of the Well-Tempered Clavier for any combination of instruments:

The Cantatas. All of them.

Gotta blow the dust off that Day After Tomorrow DVD.

Number 9. Number 9. Number 9....

And the arms race continues.

What's the purpose of using the fiber? To avoid radio signals?

Yeah I thought that too. Then they laid me off anyway.

Care to share said hard data?

Those 3D icons were always ugly, we just didn't have the maturity to realize it at the time. :)

I was laid off about a month ago. I worked as a software designer and one of the top experts in the world on the software and its subject matter. Didn't matter, they broomed me anyway.

Broken trust, indeed.

Author, be the change you want to see in the world. Stop whining and do something.

Maybe the city has a million of them sitting in a warehouse from some previous administration and they don't want to buy new ones.

Just this week I needed to completely revamp my personal website. I went with Squarespace because it's quick to spin up and I don't have to fiddle with tons of plugins and a complicated theme ecosystem. I just need a website that works. I used to use Wordpress for all my previous iterations, but now, it's done. Sad to see it become obsolete by not fixing them broader business and user-friendliness problems.

Holy moly that was an incredible experience. Well done!

The increasingly-dark Duolingo bird has to be my favorite part. Maybe I didn't get all the easter eggs there, but I almost wish the whole game just turned into an elaborate plot for vengeance for the owls.

Big oof, but a salient point. Copyright is what keeps the system going.

May I introduce you to literally all of Classical and Jazz Music?

Hell, tons of other genres are recorded piles of times with each being different. Even in the pop world, covers exist, a long tradition of different artists doing the same song.

Great balls of fire!

They are schematic drawings to make them clearer, not to scale.

It's an art project, not a practical tool.

If you've never seen the animated TV series based on the books, you're totally missing out. It's incredible: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2m76NQMJGtc&list=PL66vbXJhfF...

The problem is the damage to the body's metabolism and hormonal balance. The drugs help fix that damage.

These aren't preventative drugs, they are to treat people who are already fat.

Ozempic has been around about 10 years used mostly for diabetes, but it's use for weight loss management has exploded with the release similar drugs using the same core principles such as Wegovy and Mounjaro. There's also definitely a compounding effect of it being successful for people and them telling their friends.

MNX is probably good but they are taking an awful long time to get the job done. They ran into the same roadblocks as any format, there's too many competing needs and too many opinions. MIDI 2.0 has also had some really interesting talk about embedding notation data inside the wrapper to make it an "all-encompassing" music format.

I'm not as familiar with MEI but I don't believe it's any better for preserving music engraving data compared to the musical data itself.

The "industry standard" has functionally been split between Finale and Sibelius for over 20 years. It still holds, but Dorico is attempting a coup for that title with this move.
