Oh, not CSP as in concurrency. Makes more sense now.

AFAIK they have, I wonder if they're also donating. BTW I've switched from plain Ardour to MixBus a few months ago, and I'm not sure why but it produces much better results for me.

Oh yes! OpenShot is so great. I haven't used it in a couple of years but when I did it was a pleasure to use as an occasional user with 0 knowledge of video editing software.

It's light years beyond it, it's a full fledged digital audio workstation capable of high quality studio recordings and mixing. A good analogy would be Paint vs. Photoshop. EDIT: Not to downplay Audacity which is also awesome, it&

Indeed. I make an automatic small monthly contribution of a few dollars to the project (they make it super easy to do it). BTW since Harrison Consoles have a commercial version of it (MixBus/MixBus32C) and are actively contributing to

Two other FOSS projects I like but are not super known: * Calf: A small group of devs producing a set of high quality audio processing plugins. https://calf-studio-gear.org/ * Ardour - pretty well known I think, but only in

A guy called Alexey Tulinov maintains an excellent but very little known, light-weight unicode processing library called libnu. I really wish it had more recognition: https://bitbucket.org/alekseyt/nunicode

When I was growing up (in a desert town) we had a house with a flat roof. When we bought it, it had tar based black sealant painted on top of it, and it was hell. The next year we covered it with white polymer based sealant, and the differe

A demonstration is often a very very good indicator even if you have a lot of domain knowledge. When a candidate shows me something they've built I can gain a lot of perspective into how they think and work by asking questions about it

Looks like the AI bit is matching a template to your query maybe, i.e. a simple classifier.

You should read The Three Body Problem trilogy for some interesting ideas in that direction.

Right. I've played in bands and produced a couple of records, and while I used to write score for programming music into a sequencer app, I've never used it to communicate with any musician I've worked with. At most you write

It can be useful for registering things automatically, like Go's init() functions which I've used on occasion.

you can have pre-main functions in in C as well (as a GCC extension). If you define functions with `__attribute__(constructor)` and they will be called before main(). You can even set the priority on them, and set post-main destructor call

I've managed to destroy my Pixel 2 a few days ago, and for the time being switched to an iPhone 6. Some of the difficulties I'm having are due to habits or not knowing how to do stuff in iOS, but all in all, the Pixel 2 and latest

Nice! One question: why aren't you using the auto complete feature of redisearch?

It's 100% in memory so I would imagine memory consumption will be bigger. But being in C and in-memory is meant for CPU efficiency.

I've read the probability part a couple of years ago to make up for missing formal knowledge, and it was easy to grok and helped me.

Sounds like GeoHash lookup which is actually pretty robust if you have a good data structure for indexing. For example: https://redis.io/commands/georadius

"Abandoned Books" - that actually sounds like a pretty clever book-keeping algorithm for a GC.

Is there a standard notation that can produce both? I don't know much LaTex but I don't think it holds sufficient information. Does MathML maybe?

About 10 years ago I wrote a video encoding app with libavcodec/libavformat. Beyond very simple examples with everything set to default, there was almost zero material on how to use it. There was maybe one trivial example of decoding a
