Well, Prism is likely to be with us for a decade, if not more, since Microsoft actually cares about backwards compatibility, whereas Apple much less so, and I guess, to them, we're at a "good enough" state. So Microsoft releasing it is less likely, but Apple could, especially after it is done. But I suspect some asshole sees a "competitive advantage" somewhere, and won't sign off a source release. What a gut punch for the team that worked on it.

Looking forward to a future look at Rosetta 2. Thanks!

Any equivalent look at Apple's Rosetta 2? Perhaps if author has time and availability of hardware, they can have a similar look. Rosetta 2 is going away next year, and it's a shame, even if from a purely technical reason. Apple will never open source it.

Al Jazeera. Nope, not clicking on that qatari propaganda garbage.

Good pun. Not a typo for me.

Because they also want to tell new stories. It’s never just about the graphics, unlike most modern video game “remasters”, for example.

This is a really good video. The entire series of videos is great. Thanks for posting!

So exactly the same result as video games using Unreal Angina 5. Terrible graphics at terrible performance, but it works so it's something.

Haha, "ton of optimizations" is quite the overstatement, given how terrible games run even on the highest end PC configurations, let alone consoles.

Given enough motivation, access control is irrelevant too. See early Windows "private" API that was used for decades and Microsoft supported despite being "private", because they knew it was being used and they (used to) care about their users.

What a stupid and ridiculous thing to do in 2024. The budget overhead of storage, serving, traffic, bulletin-board software maintenance and moderation is negligible for a company like Autodesk.

This is likely the idea of some idiot middle-management clown that had to show "progress" and "impact" to their own management in order to get a performance bonus.

Spoken like a real iOS zealot. Some of us remember when macOS or OS X or Mac OS X was just a unix, and are indeed uncomfortable with where Apple took macOS in the past decade or so.

For us, there are still options on the Mac: https://gist.github.com/LeoNatan/b1cf77e1a0df2558f02631656e5...

Yes, but you can often still figure out what the name is if you pause in that method and print _cmd ($arg2), or look at the calling stack entry and see what selector string was used.

This “article” reads a lot to me like a CharGPT generated drivel. Material for maybe two paragraphs at most, spread over a book of nonsense.
