Microsoft of 2017 makes me forget about Microsoft of 1997. It's insane how a shakeup of CEO and new cultural shift can seemingly add another major boost to it's brand. I welcome open source, eventually, I believe that it will eat commercial software, if the right economic incentives are in place. Microsoft may be signaling this to the market.
Never Forget.
At this rate, are we going to see Windows open-sourced? MS is on a roll. My bias since 1996 is being eroded with each OSS release they have, and multi-platform targeted support. I started using VSCode regularly as my main Rust IDE, and I feel dirty for liking it. It's seemless across macOS and Linux.
"Fool me once..." I guess, or as we say in France "Cold water scares the scalded cat".
I've been running into the idea of computational graphs a lot recently. It's at the core of Tensorflow (and NN in general) but it also comes up for example in Apple's AVFoundation where all audio processing happens in a graph of audio units. Does anyone know what's the theoretical foundation of computational graphs? EDIT: I've created a wiki page for computational graphs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_G…

It's not like they're doing it out of the goodness of their heart. They don't have a choice, they were becoming irrelevant, and now they're playing catch up to try to bring back all the devs to their platform.
While I still haven't bought an MS product since 1996, I don't think I have a problem with using their OSS. I see it as supporting companies when they do the right thing.
Honestly Apple's tightening up of the control on their platform in recent years, like requiring LLVM bitcode with apps on some of their devices which only works if it's Apple LLVM generated bitcode, has me swinging the opposite direction from them.
It would go a long way for my perseption of Apple if they either drop the LLVM bitcode requirement, or at least standardize on a non-proprietary version.
I find that very abstract software packages like this are difficult to visualize without an example. This page does not offer one, but TFM does -- see [1]. Also note that TFM describes the fact that this is Windows-only. That makes it substantially less interesting, IMO. [1] https://www.graphengine.io/docs/manual/index.html#what-is-ge
Dev here. Cross-platform for Linux/BSD is on the way, and it's already in the repo now.

OK, so ContentChanged is new since the last time I looked - thanks for that! However, IPC via files is still a PITA in general compared to something easy like sockets. Using an external IP address is a terrible solution for communicating with another process on the same machine. As soon as you disconnect from the network, it will stop working.
