By way of survivorship, every popular DAW and plugin responsible for music made over the last 30 years has made extensive use of knobs. If it's poor design that's news to the industry. Like if knobs suck, then every audio UI has a

I mean at this point I think it's really just utter incompetence over at Microsoft to design a system that can be updated without breaking it. They have never actually cared about solving that problem. If they had taste, someone opinio

It's worse actually. These are repeated games so the outcome of any current interaction affects the next one. Journalists can't be too hard on the people the cover or else they won't have the access to cover them in the futur

I was able to debug and fix someone's MainStage patch last night over SMS when they sent me pictures of their screen, where all the knobs were visible. Being able to see the full state of the thing is important. Hiding it behind intera

It's a fixed size slider which uses the rotation of the indicator to tell you its position, instead of the position of a thumb in horizontal or vertical position. If you replaced it with text or a bar that filled the area it would be t

If you've ever used pro audio software you come to love rotary over linear sliders. They're simply more flexible and dense when you have many parameters to tweak.

I would disagree, because people don't really care about memory safety for security reasons as much as I think gets talked about. The most important safety mechanism in Rust is the borrow checker. It solves so many real problems that p

The people funding this seem to believe that firstly text inference and gradient descent can synthesize a program that can operate on information tasks as good or better than humans, secondly that the only way of generating the configuratio

The honest answer is because all your users have that wad of chewing gum and paper clips installed on their devices already, and you don't need an IT admin to whitelist your executable to install it in the contexts where that's st

This reminds me of places where it's illegal for more than N~=3 women to share a residence, ostensibly to prevent sex work (the assumption being that any home with a significant number of unmarried women is a brothel). When I was in hi

What issues do you feel left behind on? And why do you think the Democratic Party has moved left on them? The mistake I think you're making is that people want to reengage with the fascists that call themselves Republicans or that thei

So I come from the C/C++ world, that's part of why I disagree with these takes. I wouldn't say any process involving CMake is "not that big of a deal" because I routinely see veteran developers struggle to edit cmak

I'm just pointing out that one reason devex sucks in C++ is because the fact you need a wide array of tools, that are non portable, and require learning and teaching magic incantations at the command line or in build scripts to work, d

Consider that to do this you must: - Use a build system like make, you can't just `c++ build` - Understand that C++ compilers by default have no idea where most things are, you have to tell them exactly where to search - Use an externa

Personally, I go further than this and just never update dependencies unless the dependency has a bug that affects my usage of it. Vulnerabilities are included. It is insane to me how many developers update dependencies in a project regular

What I was trying to point out is that you're essentially talking about LTO. Getting into the weeds, the compiler _can't_ optimize strcpy(*) in practice because its not going to be defined in a header-only library, it's going

I don't quite know how to put this thought together yet, but I've noticed that no one quite hates programming more than this class of programmers. It's like playing on a football team with people who hate football. A key phra
