I have no idea what that means, and the page itself is a ledger, not anything to explain what that means.

Yeah but facts don't really care about agreement: there are loads of renowned single-person VST shops, and many more "just a handful of folks" ones. Chris Heinz, Steve Duda, Strezov Sampling, Matt Tytel, heck even Plugin Guru

That's not what real time, means though. Real time processing means taking signals as they come in, and outputting the transformed result such that there is as close to no signal lag as possible. The output can in fact be wildly lower

by TheRealPomax 7y ago
That implication would be wildly incorrect.

by TheRealPomax 7y ago
They do. Strezov sampling is one guy. Serum is one guy. Chris Heinz is one guy, etc. etc. But you have to be willing to put in the time and make phenomenal products, because no one wants average instruments and effects, we can get those for

while training? terrible. As finalised model running in an AU/VST3 wrapper? probably extremely low.

That doesn't bear any relevance to application UI frameworks that don't build on top of the OS's UI framework.

Except it doesn't, because there is no esc key. There's a portion of a touch sensitive monitor that may, or may not, have an active region that simulates an esc key, which you won't know without looking at it, rather than bei

Or, you know, literally any app where `esc` is the "cancel and exit this dialog" key. Which is every Adobe application, all DAWs, etc. etc.

No, it isn't. The idea that saying "gnarfgnarf is an imaginary number is completely meaningless" is the opposite of true: if you assert that gnarfgnarf is an imaginary number, that is the definition we'll be using for t

So he made a sacrifice because, what, he just woke up one morning and felt like it? No. It's because the public brought it to his attention with enough public support to probably not hurt his career.

That's quite an assumption to make about when someone had kids.

Why? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23009160 posited that we were in a situation where (1) holds, so that's where we're starting. If we assume (1) holds, then (2) cannot hold. We can abandon (1) but then w

This reasoning is understandable, but also incorrect, and we can point to where it breaks down: the idea that the 7 is "at a specific decimal" doesn't hold true, due to that pesky ellipsis. The crazy bit about the infinite re

Can you explain what you mean with "real" in that sentence? Because in the context of maths, a real number is "a number in ℝ", which this absolutely qualifies for. Whereas in plain English the term doesn't really ha

Forgive the skeptic in me: from the outside, it looks like MS is pushing GH to copy features that people use GitLab for right now - how much of this is "we're going to move into GL's space" vs. "this is our own thin

Ever since Docker became a popular tech, VMware has had little choice: I need docker for my job, so I can't use VMware. That doesn't get them the dollars they want.

The population of a city is based on humans, which take 15 to 20 years before they have young. Wildlife typically takes "some crazy short period of time" like a year, and so when we say the population has double, tripled, etc. mos

I've never used clojurescript (but have used perl, php, java, prolog, oocaml, js, python, ...), so to me that: looks like a clusterfuck. But of course, if I had a need where clojurescript was the best fit, and I had to use it daily for

Youtube is actually an excellent resource here - search for "intro to Synthesis" or "intro to synthesizers", and move up to "advanced synthesis" (or related terms) and there are boatloads of excellent videos te

There's no real reason to consider csound any different from any other synthesiser in this respect: someone who understands how to program a synth just needs to know "which knobs and switches" there are - whether they're

We all hate new syntax that we feel isn't "samey" enough to what we already know. That doesn't mean it's gross, it just means you learned something about your own preconceptions of what you thought JS was supposed t

As a 33 line implementation "just for fun" exercise, no need to guess: this was not meant to be actual React in fewer lines of code =)

"per year" is the drug dealer of the software world. Adobe might be the biggest pusher, but Mathematica isn't far behind.

It is, and that's how I use it, but we also find that computer in the category "horribly underpowered" category of devices that can run Mathematica.

Even in small restaurants there's almost always a sous or junior. Sure, the chef is more likely to pitch in, but they still don't do all the prep. They did their time working their way up the ladder already.

Of course I've heard of that term, and that's a different job position . In more standard HN jargon, that's like saying a senior tech lead is the same as a tech contractor. One of them runs the floor, the other follows their

This wasn't about whether they "are" expensive, but about that they are "the most" expensive. If you think this is perfectly affordable, then cool: you can clearly afford every professional font on the market, use t

you mean two if statements. The last case is a default return.

That's not how switches work: a switch can (and will) trigger lots of cases if you don't either `break` (highly unintuitive to new programmers, who like you believe switch is "do one of these") or `return`, either of whi
