I worked with Macromedia at the time and they were all for people pirating their software and actually listened to them talk about seeding their betas to pirates.

I used it yesterday to plot out a deck I'm building. The ability to draw easily, snap to grid, custom rulers, makes it a great design tool. Better than Corel Draw anyway.

Macromedia didn't mind the piracy at the time. People learned from pirated versions and then went to work in companies that bought licenses. They bootstrapped the company with that tactic. Same with Flash.

I still use it when I have to update my website.

The term "CFO" appears 29 times in that article. You were a CFO not a vegan, you don't have to say it over and over.

Thank you for your work and dedication to this. This was sorely needed.
Re:Android low latency audio in 2023 on Tuesday September 26, 2023 @01:55PM (#37663204)
If you're playing 128th notes at 178bpm each note is 11 ms. If your BT headphones have a 30 ms latency everything you play will be off. The only BT headphones that work for music are AIAIAI headphones which require their own transmitter and receiver. They still have a 16ms latency and barely work.

General BT is useless for music.

As someone interested in moving into PM, what are some of the things PMs do that make them worth their weight in gold?
I have had two, because one fell out of my bike bag. It's pretty good for something you can easily carry on a bike, but it's not the lap of luxury. Unless you slouch down a lot you're going to wobble left and right.

I was on today. It seems... better.

If there are any others here who want to start a consortium to act on this and fix what Reddit broke, please count me in.

>>The killer feature of Reddit is that everyone goes to Reddit because Reddit is Reddit.

The killer feature of Digg is that everyone goes to Digg because Digg is Digg.

I wish. Reddit jumped the shark years ago but I did look into it at one point. There's a lot of factors you wouldn't anticipate that will trip you up. Not the least of which is quality moderation. Your site will either die under the crush of awful free speech, or live long enough to run out of visitors. It's a tough balance Reddit didn't have to face as harshly in a different time.

Woot.com sells stuff just like this. Not sure how they get stock now since they got bought by Amazon.

Someone listens to the All In podcast.
I want everyone to have the freedom to say anything they want online without the worry of being destroyed by others for having said it.
