technically there is a DSP scripting language in Bitwig that isn't public but you can find some examples floating around online. That said mixing DSP + UI is hard , and if you want…

I wrote this crate [1] as a compressor in Rust which is the opposite of a noise gate, as in gain reduction is applied after a threshold is passed instead of gain reduction applied …

I wouldn't say std::mem::drop acts like free at all, it's the equivalent of a destructor in C++. Mostly useful when you're dealing with manually allocated memory, FFI, implementing…

thank you!

Is the ABI documented anywhere? Every time I google around for it, I just get information like "COM is ABI stable and language agnostic" but not what the ABI is. I've successfully …

My issue isn't ABI stability but the ABI itself w.r.t vtable layout. Best I can tell it should be similar to Itanium's spec? [1]. It's been months since I did this, but iirc my pro…

This is similar to the work done in winapi [1], com-imp[2] and my own tangential work on porting VST3 [3] to Rust [4] I'm really glad MS is doing this. What needs to be a bit clear…

A bigger issue I've seen is that "gut feeling" comes from a misplaced sense of confidence. Like say, sample size. I can't tell you how many times I've heard engineers say "the data…

Tencent has about a 5% stake iirc. They also have small interests in Activision-Blizzard and a big chunk of Epic. I have no idea what 5% of a company buys them.

That's fair. Pro Tools crashing during a session has been a meme for awhile, despite it being pretty stable for the last 5-ish years. But keep in mind these companies are usually p…

I mean most software that's currently maintained has been 64-bit ready for a decade. The issue is that there's a lot of 3rd party ghostware that isn't, and 32 bit bridging to suppo…

Waves sent one out last month as well. Par for the course really. Audio pros are some of the most distrustful users w.r.t updates because they've been burned so many times.

>So in this example, half of the putative "gain" is actually inflation. Is this an issue in practice? Like I get if I have an asset that meets inflation for a decade than I'll lose…

I don't think you could say CG taxes are "double taxation" since only the income from the asset is taxed, not the principle. >it's much less than that because of inflation Why woul…

>the chances of me being attacked are practically zero That's because the OS developers have placed value on security over performance. Whooping cough is rare too, we still vaccina…

Yes, my preferred way of looking at chords is superimposed intervals. The four chord qualities (major, minor, augmented, diminished) are built like: - Diminished: Minor Third + Min…

(not an economist but I'm really interested in this) What's the difference in theory and practice between UBI and changing the standard deduction/marginal rate? Like if we give out…

It's not half diminished though, since there's no 7? I'm talking about just the diminished triad (min 3rd + min 3rd). It's been years since I read jazz notation (classical backgrou…

This is really cool! I think the chord naming has some bugs, but it's been awhile since I studied theory. For example all the diminished triads are labeled "min 7-5" which is kind …

New calendar app: Priority Inversion

It's interesting that Uber decided to merge their apps (Uber + Uber Eats) while FB seems to want to create more. Personally I don't care about app count, I'm just not a huge fan of…

This has always bothered me. I don't like incurring a tax penalty that has to be paid in cash, when I don't have any more cash to pay it or a way to turn the asset into cash! Siden…

I disagree, screen real estate is precious.

Consumer (and I assume commercial) bread machines often have a "dough only" cycle that you can use for automating your dough process. But I'd like one with a water filter and more …

See I don't like this attitude towards tax incentives because you're missing the tree for the woods. This solution pays me for my inconvenience. It doesn't prevent the inconvenienc…
