Cool interactive colour mixing:
The www.spectrumcolors.de site has way more interesting pages around colour spaces, colour press techniques (like colour separation, rasterising, etc). Worth visiting!

TL;DR: Connecting to Macs over Thunderbolt is easy and has transfer speeds way faster than other network connections.
Summary of steps from [WayBack] Connecting two Macs using Thunderbolt | Macworld
- Connect the Thunderbolt cable between two Macs
- In the Network Preferences find the self-assigned IP address on either side
- In that side, ensure you have File Sharing enabled
- On the other side, open a Finder, press Command-K, then the IP-address you noted and logon
- Transfer files
This also increases LAN sync speeds of DropBox, Google Drive and others.
Note the connection by default using SMB

There are a lot of opinions on how to hire coders, and most of them are terrible. The opinions, that is, not the coders. But a basic filter test to make sure someone can do what they say they can: that seems reasonable, and FizzBuzz is one of the more common tests. Even now, interviewers use it. Let’s talk about why it’s tricky, and how to solve it.

Interesting to try:
The new generation Pascal programming language that combines simplicity of classic Pascal, a great number of modern extensions and broad capabilities of Microsoft .NET Framework
I didn’t know about it either.

The video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbjIx1qhvpM uses Quickier
I used QCamera: the XI100USB shows up as a camera.
Note capturing takes a lot of CPU power, so ensure you’re not running on battery.
I didn’t need any of these downloads:
On a Mac any of these software tools should work as well:
- Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder
- Adobe Connect
- CoGe VJ
- Discover Video Streamsie
- Gotomeeting
- GrandVJ
- MadMapper
- mimoLive
- OBS studio
- Quicklaunch
- QuickTime Broadcaster
