Possibly one of the rudest comments i've read on HN for sometime.

The text was completely readable for me, viewing on an iPad (not even fullscreen).

Xcode is the standard IDE used for all Apple software development - 99% of people viewing a video like this would know that, as its so elementary. I'm surprised you didnt also expect the author to define what a terminal window was and what Objective C is. A google search would have yielded the answer in less than 2 seconds.

Overall I found the video very intersting and its the first time i've seen audio being iteratively produced in real time with code, thanks for taking the time to produce it.

Not for people on Windows. So, your claim is that 99% of the people on HN have significant Apple software development experience? Can't believe that.

Besides the demo screen didn't look like it was from just a console session and not an IDE. So, if no IDE was involved, then what could have been the role of an IDE font Xcode?

For me, full screen, 1024 x 768 pixels on a razor sharp monitor, without a magnifying glass, essentially just blurs. Just checked: If I capture the screen, pull the capture into PhotoDraw, and magnify by 400%, then it is nicely readable.

All that is needed is another 400%.

For the audio, here is what I hear from the first of the video clip:

     ??? one.

     My name is Art ??? I am the creator
     of Audio???.

     Today I'm excited to show you another
     example of ??? AudioKit live coding
     playground.

     I have been presenting AudioKit at
     ??? universities and I ??? example

He can speak plenty clearly enough, but in places he just drops his voice volume. E.g., for what I heard in "Audio???" it might have been AudioHit, AudioKit, AudioSit, AudioIt, or something else. He just dropped his voice on the last sylable of AudioKit.

For his last name, he again dropped his voice.

"Live coding playground" is clear enough, apparently from "another" there is a prerequisite of earlier examples? And, really, there should be something like:

"The software AudioKit permits finely grained interactive usage with what we call the AudioKit live coding Playground, and we will demonstrate that here."

Okay, that's good.

Then to the computer screen, we're supposed to know that that is on Linux or Apple? We're supposed just to assume that? Observe that? Not good. Instead, just say what the computing platform is.

These are constructive remarks, not "rude".

Your first comments were not rude and I've responded to them but I don't appreciate the personal attacks, and you've gone off on unprovoked tangents. Everyone, just walk away.
