I'm not really a hardware person, although at this point I've done a couple of guitar-pedal projects. My favourite is to write OS-independent C++ DSP classes, and work with a team/…

I don't know anything about proprietary reverbs, I'm afraid - particularly hardware units! Sometimes you can tell things about a reverb's internals by looking at impulse responses,…

Yes, I'm Geraint. :D I'm the tech side of Signalsmith Audio, and my partner is the Business Brain. The JSFX plugins are mostly from before we made a proper company (back when Signa…

Some stuff is around the web, some is from other people. Particularly for classic kit, someone's usually analysed it before, but it's not always in a good tutorial kind of form. Pe…

*EDIT*: I just realised that the demo you're talking about doesn't include the "early reflections"! So that demo only includes echoes which have gone through the main feedback dela…

I haven't done anything with Rust yet, but it's on my free-time wishlist. I'm working on WASM demos! I've been playing with WASM builds of my plugins, and it's great for prototypin…

First, join a good community! If you're on Discord, TAP is great: https://discord.gg/aBghGGcfYs - it's beginner-friendly while also having some heavy-hitters in there, and it's gen…

Given the number of connections/nodes in my design, I'd be interested to know what the performance is. For Web Audio, there's an increasing trend of compiling WASM and running it i…

Haha, yeah - although their comment was only considering the 2D case, same as the book. You can make a (very efficient!) diffuser from 2-channel rotations, but you have to tune it …

Whoah - the author (Signalsmith) here! This was a fun way to wake up, and I'm happy to answer any questions.

A few questions that I anticipate: --- Shouldn't you find a replacement maintainer? That's ideal (and compatible with this proposal), but it shouldn't be a requirement for stepping…

As always, there is a relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/2347/ >

OP here - fairly nervous about posting this, but just to give some context of where this is coming from: A decade ago, I got interested in JSON Schema, and at the time there was no…

This is off-topic, but I really like the current GOV.UK (several years old now). I don't really have opinions on the visual stuff, but I find it really pleasant to use. Filing my s…

In this case, the fallback is still a plain-text field, into which the user should enter numbers. Perfectly usable, but without the keyboard hint, so it seems like a graceful fallb…

For me, I really appreciate the Bayesian approach because it makes it very explicit that you pick a prior. Perhaps my experience is limited, but every (supposedly non-Bayesian) mod…

I've seen the question raised whether the "minimalism" (in terms of not owning much) often attributed to Marie Kondo is actually an accurate representation of what she says. The al…

I thought the whole magic of quantum-computing was that instead of just having individual bits in an uncertain/random state, you entangled a whole bunch of bits together, meaning y…

Slightly off-topic, but for anyone who hasn't encountered them: using continued fractions ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continued_fraction#Best_ration... ), you can easily get th…

I can also guess people's height to within an inch or two, but I can still have an abstract conversation about a friend-of-a-friend I've never met, without expecting to be (constan…

In my second example, I used "Julie" instead of "a stranger". The subject is specified in exactly the same way, but people might find "they" more surprising in that case. Some peop…

It's kind of odd, because people seem to accept singular "they" for strangers, but not once there's a name. If I say: "I bumped into a stranger on the street and trod on their toes…

> [...] manually renew every 90 days That's the opposite of the design goals - Let's Encrypt is designed to be automatable. They set the expiry to 90 days precisely because they wa…

I've also heard of Facebook Live being used to document police violence. Same problem with content-moderation, but on the other hand it means the video is out there before the poli…
