No, not that one either. The page was static and full of high quality images dissecting the format structures.

This is how I got laid off. Working on legacy software, sole person on the team, eventually management decided that it could be replaced by AI or some such pixie dust.

And it was 1971 when the last chemical castration as a 'treatment' for homosexuality was performed in the US.

Uhuh. Let me guess, you're a heterosexual white male? the Republicans have been very explicit about making my existence a crime since the 1980s. These are the despicable people who made jokes about my friends dying of AIDS, who now want to make just mentioning my marriage 'sexualized content' and therefore prosecutable. Oh, and by the way, they want to eradicate my marriage, which had to be repeated because it was rescinded by a court decision affecting me and 3,997 other couples.

I want to be very clear, so let me say this: you are wrong, and have no idea what it actually means to be on the receiving end of discrimination.

> None of that is "opposed to Open-source".

You're quite right. Open-source vs. non-open-source is irrelevant to the question.

I do use a desktop environment. I don't use many additional productivity tools, though, and that is likely why I have a blind spot about that part of the software market.

My question was more geared towards the seeming lack of a robust software ecosystem (i.e., there appears to be at most one leading product in each category, with one or two alternatives), to whit: - there's Xcode/VSCode. - Photoshop/GIMP. - Sublime Text - not sure about DAW software - the field has changed since I was involved

I'll have to check macupdater out, thanks for the tip.

MacOS has a rock solid software ecosystem, both for the most advanced suites and for minor apps.

> Photoshop/GIMP And Affinity, and Pixelmator. Gimp is not in the same league.

For high quality software, it would be strange to have more than a leading product and a couple of alternatives, wouldn't it? Like, what would be the kind of customer who would not be satisfied with neither PhotoShop or Affinity nor Pixelmator?

Almost all major DAW software targets the desktop environment - A lot of them are cross platform (Ableton, FL Studio, Studio One, Cubase, Reaper, Bitwig, etc.)

Linux is sort of left out in the cold unfortunately, except for reaper and bigwig, both of which are very solid choices.

I have an interview question:

step 1: the candidate is shown the specification for a method and the results of running the test suite on an obfuscated version of the method. All tests pass. The test suite is minimal, and test coverage is abysmal.

step 2: the candidate is asked to come up with more test cases, based on the specification. The code is run against the updated test suite - most new tests will fail because the method's implementation has several known bugs.

step 3: The un-obfuscated source is provided and the candidate is asked to correct any bugs they discover.

step 4: the changed source is run against a full test suite.

I like this because the candidate's ability to think of test cases, debug, and fix existing code are all tested for.

This has failed me because code get pretty gnarly fast, many things I thought was obvious was missed by people smarter than me. I think as long as it is a tool for discussions rather than grades it is good though.

Curious if any interviewee has tried to unobfuscate the code.

Do you allow property based testing?

I _hated_ The Green Brain, but that was mostly because he had all the characters say everything in Portuguese, then repeat themselves in English. It was as if there was an echo in the room.

I am a dog breeder, and I endorse this message :-)
