How could a safe dynamic linking API ever work? I think you're moving the goalposts significantly here.

That thought experiment is worthless in this context, because a computer is not a human. If you design a black box using copyrighted text that can parrot the text back, it _must_ break copyright by definition.

Step 0 is physical device access. Kids shouldn't have tablets or smartphones or personal laptops before age 16.

Google has proven themselves to be incapable of monetizing anything besides ads. One should be deeply skeptical of their ability to bring consumer software to market, and keep it there.

public interfaces are not dead code

If dead code (1) is common in your codebase then your code base is missing heaps of refactors (1) "dead" meaning unused types, unreachable branches

The biggest change imo is that in the aughts, the idea that children should have unfettered access to personal computers, phones, and the internet was unthinkable. Now we have millennial parents seriously arguing their kids should have smar

In my experience, most of the people in audio DSP are musicians or otherwise very well exposed to music and the arts, and many see using AI as fundamentally immoral or unethical. It's technology designed via theft with the intent to ha

imo audio DSP experts are diametrically opposed to AI on moral grounds. Good luck hiring the good ones. It's like paying doctors to design guns.

We can't even make hand driers that don't discriminate on the basis of race. You think making complex law enforcement decisions based on data is going to be easier?

GUI is much more than just cross platform windowing. Which fwiw, is a mostly solved problem in Rust - there's not a bunch of reimplementation or instability. The ecosystem is solidified behind winit (*). Also, we don't have good

This is why we should shun the people that build this stuff. If you take a paycheck to enable fascism, you're a bad person and should be unwelcome in polite society.

I don't really like this line of discourse because few domains are as ignorant of computing advances as game development. Which makes sense, they have real deadlines and different goals. But I often roll my eyes at some of the conferen

So alcohol prohibition worked at reducing alcohol consumption. The organized crime and violence are negative externalities that were real, but my point is that if you're just looking at the goal of stopping drinking, then prohibition w

Yea you have to be a nation state like Israel, Iran or Russia to blow civilian aircraft out of the sky with no retaliation.

I mean, prohibition works while legalization just makes more people use whatever you legalize and increases the negative externalities of its use. You see that almost universally (alcohol, drugs, sex work). The exception is it gets rid of t

The fact that we tolerate creating waste because it's "economical" is frankly disgusting. The disposal fees for e waste should make it uneconomical to dispose of boards. Also training techs to repair SMD parts is really easy

Why does this require "hard" braking? If another car cuts in front of you just decelerate gently. You don't brake and wait until the gap is big enough (also if this is stop-and-go traffic, you should be trying to avoid brakin

All you need for this to occur is the window where both renames occurs overlap. A system polling to check if a, b, c, and d exist while the renames are happening might find all four of them.

> Thus, to perform an edit there, if your goal is to avoid a click by truncating with a non-zero sample value, you need to add/assign a value of zero to a sample. No, you (the editor, not an algorithm) look at the waveform and see

There's definitely such thing as a zero crossing, it's where sign(x[n-1]) != sign(x[n]) (or rather, there's "no such thing as a zero crossing" in the same way there's no such thing as a peak). Picking a suitabl

You often want sample accurate waveform visualization when tuning samples that are time or pitch warped to set start and loop points at zero crossings to avoid clicks without needing fades.
