Pretty much every vst, clap, etc plugin on Linux requires X calls because of how windows get created and then managed by the host. I've moved to running Bitwig in an Ubuntu distrob…

Costco and similar do have them at a decent price, currently see them 20$ for 10. I think most people just look at the 2 packs, which are more expensive.

I play with generally lighter strings. 8.5-40 mighty slinky fender scale. I noticed when I switched my fingers pay much more attention to pressure, and being in tune with microbend…

I have been building music theory/midi related vst plugins in JUCE. It's mostly targeted at me, or others that make music, but are not piano players. There isn't much to show curre…

Isn't it that you sign up for Star Fleet, go through school, take tests, and then get assigned to a position? Not everybody is in Star Fleet, so I assume people want the ability to…

I think in the western world, Art, and music are both long term projects. So much so that we seem to have "reinvented" music at least twice. Once after the Greeks into classical we…

Awesome OP. I'll give it a shot because I've been considering doing something similar for chord charts. Glad to see abc notation support.

This is a really important point that I think a lot of people who aren't vegan don't get. There might be an understanding that food is culture (lets order chinese, or italian), but…

I think Lisp is more on the liberal arts side of programming languages. That the "enlightenment" of Lisp is that you can use functions everywhere. Write macros that look like funct…

A few weeks ago I was looking into `XReparentWindow` because certain things use it (DAW Plugins). I don't think Wayland can do something similar (but I guess XWayland works), GTK a…

Shut up n play yer guitar. You can practice playing over the changes, or you can go to the bar, watch netflix, or do anything else. But in 10 years are you going to be able to play…

My Bitwig template: limiter on master track. My Renoise template: limiter on master track. Now I have no fear of loading random presets.

One of my goals for this years was to get a jazz teacher, specifically for guitar. A layoff killed that goal for the foreseeable future. Theory has helped me practice like I think …

A midi sequencer, which does or is supposed to do what you expect. In the process of adding stuff like euclydian sequences, and trying to figure out how to generate melodies. Been …

Yes this is pretty much it and it's obvious to me. There's a big corollary to FOSS and gpl, but a lot of people seem to miss it. This future isn't for our culture, it's for busines…

I really hate that companies are allowed to use "natural flavors" and I refuse to buy any products that say that unless they are able to specifically tell me what's not in it. Lots…

> Musicians love a good trend to dump money into. If I get just one more thing my music will sound good :) Euroracks will not go out of style in any serious way, in the same way gu…

> This is why learning guitar when I was younger was so difficult to me I agree. The downvoted op is right in a way. Guitarists have a way to make things difficult. Just learn to p…

A symbol being arbitrary doesn't influence the reality of the meaning behind a thing. I've always thought about `zero` while counting, it never was about `0`. I observe zero. I don…

+1 for peano arithmetic club. I never realized it was controversial. I think I've always included 0 in the nat numbers since learning to count. But there are some programming books…

Thanks. Yeah that makes sense for low hanging fruit. Going through the gcc flags it does seem like a lot of tradeoffs have to be made so you can't cover everything. A quick look th…

Thanks that's helpful I'll take a look at model checking.

Can you explain what that low hanging fruit is (or refer me to docs), and also explain it being a decision problem a bit more thoroughly. I will accept that if you have to run a pr…

I think this is addressed in the link under that section https://paulgraham.com/power.html > I think that the main reason we take the trouble to develop high-level languages is to …

This is probably a common; lisp/scheme type of thought. Dan Friedman also said something about how he only likes code that he can hold in his head to think about in the shower. I f…
