The thing about Linux is that it is such a delightful, vibrant and flourishing development environment. There are so many great ways to get an application built for that environment, packaged up, and in the hands of masses of users. Its no

For the A-samplers? There are a number of tools out there for manipulating the A-sampler data with a PC - I wrote one of them (DiskY) which makes filesystem management over SCSI with a Windows PC a lot smoother/faster than using the o

I'm curious whether you've considered using Box2D[1] as a reference, since it is a pretty complete implementation of rigid body physics? Or is it more that you want to re-implement things from scratch as part of this tutorial? [1

I too like to reverse engineer synthesizer things, and I did it for the Yamaha A-samplers back in the day, producing a management tool that sped up the basic operations for Yamaha A-sampler disk users .. I used a BeBox to do a lot of raw i&

Back in the 80's I worked on a "multimedia engine" very similar to AGI, which had the requirement of not using MS-DOS - the customers who would use this engine for their titles, simply didn't want to pay an MS-DOS licens

The respect is of other researchers who have to consume the data at a later date. "Number 16" is far more valuable a label than "Brenda", since the former implies the specimen is one of at least 16 other data points - w

Thats fine, just keep your personal preferences out of my labs' white paper submissions. "Number 16" is valuable, in that it communicates the fact that the specimen involved is one of a set of at least 16 individual data poin

Whoever discovered alcohol was the first chemist. Whoever got drunk on it, the first addict. They could be the same.

Chemists also enslave people with drugs. There's not an addictive substance out there that wasn't created by a chemist for the purpose. This "noble scientist" narrative is dangerous. It implies that technically/sci

No, no and no. I also don't approve of Western warmongers interfering in other nations for the sake of immense profit, while couching the justification for their crimes in terms of human rights, when those Western nations involved in a

I recently observed an interesting technique being used to radically alter the perception of synthesized sounds, by using the Pianoteq piano simulator, turning off all of the string and core piano sounds, and leaving only the level and key

Yes indeed, I was attracted to learn of GRAP because I have been such a huge fan of gnuplot for my needs, which is incidentally quite well described here: https://edg.uchicago.edu/tutorials/pretty_plots_with_gnuplot...

I was there. I watched Linux from the beginning, including the minix-list discussions. The only thing Linus 'copied' (rather, modelled) was the initial directory tree layout and some of the names of the core module filenames -

You can definitely start putting C++ into your embedded projects, and get familiar with things in an environment in which you're already operating. A lot of great C++ code can be found with motivated use of, for example, the platformi

Linux was NEVER a fork of MINIX. That is just false. Linus developed Linux in response to the experience he had with MINIX - but there is no MINIX code in Linux and never was.
