Is there yet any linux terminal that supports tmux -CC mode? iTerm is not coming to Linux, and using tmux on anything else feels really meh.

Second the Bitwig, with a caveat: Read the Manual or Suffer. There are a alot of absolutely non-obvious UI rakes you can step on, can be really off-putting if messing around blindly (from the top of my head: if you accidenly turn on clip pl

It's super easy to understand how git works — I'm doing it several times per month. Seriously, low-level git, while not familiar to most devs, is logical and consistent. It's the UI level that is total disaster. Don't wo

Oh, so much to rant about! Let me address specifically the "git is a power tool" part. Actual dangerous power tools used in industry have a lot of safety requirements, and even may require license to operate. You do not put lathe

Small nitpick about C++ — tooling there is atrocious. Despite heroic efforts the language itself is a boss monster that evolves new moves every few years. Standard committee lives in a parallel universe, where writing compilers and editors

You mention Komplete — is there a Kontakt player or an alternative for ipad? Or do you have a way of converting kontakt instrument into something else? I think you can get a lot out of ipad as a plugin host, by using IDAM or something like

I'm curious in what field (of programming) are these examples. The reason is because I cannot recall a single rng I've looked at that uses floating point. Must be a different use case

PSA: HEIC supports 16 bit images, Apple supports HEIC, but Apple does not support 16 bit HEIC images, only 8 bit (as far as I can figure it out) I'm actually using lossy DNG (8 bit JPEG with a tonemap under the hood) as my universal st

Thank you! It does sound about as bad as I thought. This "death of domestic knitting machines" as you put it has turned it all into some weird steampunk, because these old models are being sold (I can walk into a store and buy a n

Yes, but each image needs access to this 4GB (actually, I have no idea how much RAM it takes up), plus whatever the working set size is. It is a non-trivial overhead that really limits throughput of your system, so you can process less imag

Fixed overheads are never meaningless. O(n^2) algorithm that processes your data in 5s is faster on your data than O(log n) that takes 20 hours. Long term storage of billions of images is meaningless, if it takes billions of years to archiv

are they regular DNG files, or linear DNG files? I remember Apple explicitly mentioning linear DNG, which means they at least have demosaicked the image, probably a lot more

Absolutely agree. Even more, once you are in digital, you can have actual mathematical perfection, that is reproducible and does not degrade with time. I just seem to take issue when Nyquist is getting inwoked. That is a purely mathematical

So you could claim to be able to reconstruct output of that filter. Which still is not the case — you cannot have signal to be both aperiodic and band-limited: either in time domain or in frequency domain signal will be periodic. So no real

Since everything turing complete any can any and so on… The main big difference between languages is the context in which your program text is placed. Readily available meanings of your words. Different problems beg for different contexts.

Never understood that argument. How exactly an expertise of setting up and running (your cloud provider) instances is cheaper than expertise of setting up a physical machine?
