HDLs are the textbook definition of a domain specific language (the domain being the description of hardware, either it's behavior or design or both).

I would argue that the prevalence of HDLs proves that DSLs are a good design for problem domains that scale in complexity. The alternative is point and click CAD, which has a ceiling on the scale of complexity you can reach. > Honestly m

I feel like there was a desire from GH to avoid needing a "build" step for actions so you could use `use: someones/work` or whatever, `git push` and see the action run. But if you think about it, the entire design is flawed.

The point was contradicting another comment with my own experience, not to putz around with bug reports or trouble shooting. I don't care about Zed fixing anything - they're Zed's issues, not mine. All I'm saying is that

People love to crap on VC but it's a great transfer of wealth from the rich that have so much money they can give it to other people to gamble for them by paying people to drop out of school to build things that will never make a retur

Meh, it's not worth the trouble. I don't care enough about using Zed to fix their Linux distribution problems or debug something for them. This isn't some volunteer backed FOSS project where they get a free pass or free QA wo

Maybe, but no other application or editor has this problem. If all other apps work but Zed doesn't then it sounds like a Zed has an issue. EDIT: just gave it a shot and I get "unsupported GPU" as an error, informing me that m

Is it only fast on MacOS? I tried it on Linux and it was unusably slow. Seconds per frame instead of frames per second.

afaik it's not possible to configure buffer size and sample rate from within a user application without exclusive mode, which actually does matter for the non-exclusive use case. iirc it was even worse where applications' streams

Basically every software (except Logic) is available on Windows but users still buy Macs. Even among those users, people usually fallback to ASIO instead of directsound or wasapi backends. WASAPI requires exclusive mode to be useable for pr

The problem is not the application software but the operating system and hardware. Linux is arcane and Windows is permanently behind the curve.

This is "don't anthropomorphize the lawnmower" territory imo. I don't think Apple is actively hostile to 3P developers or tries to lock them in. I think they simply don't care - or lack the institutional capacity to

Audio is already asynchronous. But in general no, you can't begin processing a buffer before finishing the previous buffer because the processing is stateful and you would introduce a data race. And you can't synchronize the state

Developers aren't (yet) abusing audio workgroups for all their thread pools to get pcore scheduling and higher priority. So it would imply that if an audio workgroup is issuing commands to the GPU there should be some kind of timeout t

I don't disagree with you, but there simply isn't an alternative for pro audio developers. You go where the users are and the majority of the market (by revenue) are Mac users. Now a lot of people may reply to this that Windows is

Nothing stops them from doing that today. But alternative payment flows will put some pressure on Apple to improve IAP features that many developers want to provide better experiences for their customers. Like IAP kind of sucks, unless your

The only reason he is fighting Apple's monopoly on IAP is because he wants to ship the Epic store on mobile devices so he can make his 12% cut off exclusive titles. Now is that better than the Apple store? Sure! But the real problem is

My hybrid SUV halves its mileage over 40-45 mph which is enough incentive for me not to be a maniac. I treat the average mpg as a game, trying to maximize it for my driving pattern. Sucks when I have long stretches on the highway though.

My understanding from some of these articles is that oil isn't literally transported in barrels the vast majority of the time, it's in tanker trucks/rail cars/ships moving from source to refinery to retail the whole way.
