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.
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.
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.
