Regardless of the complications of real-time audio with Ruby, I wasn't intending that. I was talking about generating MIDI files (with very fine resolution timing) and then playing back the already generated MIDI files, so I had no wor

I'm there with you. I can enjoy some programming games, but it's typically short lived. What I enjoy in programming is creating real and at least semi-useful stuff, not getting more points on a scoreboard.

Sadly I don't see MIDI exporting support. I looked at making one of these music generation programming languages before, but just ran out of time for it. My goal was quite ambitious though: 1. Support MIDI exporting (so you could get i

There's no reason this isn't possible with a VST plugin, if you're willing to do it the old fashioned way of grabbing some speakers, playing(monitoring) the playback out, and standing next to them with an instrument. Now, if

There are too many nonlinearities in real circuits and valves to perfectly model with current technology(or programming methods), but you're absolutely spot on that 99% of people can't tell the difference, even musicians. It'

Realistically, this is also true of most modern music. Sure it requires a bit more equipment, but with software amp simulation and the plethora of VST plugins you can get, you can almost always get a tone similar to your target for just a c

The really crappy part to me is when I see an obvious rip of a content creator I know, I go in and look for how to make a pirated content report. Facebook makes this _IMPOSSIBLE_ unless you are the rights holder

I'm american, and I've definitely seen it used "Alright, let's just table the issue" implying "let's come back to that issue later". I can't say that the slang makes any sense, but that's sl

Everyone knows that pure socialism and pure capitalism is both evil. The good ground lies somewhere in the middle.

In theory there would definitely be some tax increases even for middle class, ideally it'd be closely balanced so that the non-conditional UBI would balance out the tax increases

by earlz 11y ago
No, UBI is everyone receives X amount of money, no questions asked. The theory is that the tax increases etc balance this out for the middle class so that they effectively earn the same amount of money with the UBI income

For all the hate Creative Cloud gets, I love it as a hobbyist. I have a subscription for I think $10 or $20/month and even though sure I could save up and have purchased the software one-time outright, but last time I looked at buying

There is So You Start[1] which offers 2x3TB with soft RAID.. Dedicated server, so you might be able to pay some amount and get them to add more space to it 1: https://www.soyoustart.com/us/essential-servers/

Their support isn't great, and they're only in Canada and EU, but Kimsufi[1] is my goto for beefy but cheap dedicated servers. Their cheapest offering is $5/month for an Atom, 2G RAM, and 500G harddrive. But where the value r

This sounds like a good way to quickly get sued, regardless of legality (we all know that doesn't really matter anyway when it comes to hollywood)

If you think their software quality is bad, you should look at their software development software quality. I'll just leave this: http://www.textfromxcode.com/ Apple seems much more concerned with adding new features t

TL;DR; USB-C cable had GND tied to Vbus and Vbus tied to GND (opposite as it should be) Honestly, I'm surprised that this isn't something that thelaptop and other such USB adapters aren't equipped to deal with. This is only s

I just wish that bitbucket's UI was half as smooth as Github. Sure, it's not terrible, but it has a lot of rough edges.

I think this is true, but definitely not in real-time. Go observe how fast a complicated analog SPICE emulation is. Typically it's about 1000x slower or worse than real-time, though in the end the wave form might exactly match the actu

Heh, I'd say tube amps are a bit more out there than everything else you listed (unless you mean tube headphone amps or something). It's INCREDIBLY difficult to accurately emulate tubes on normal computers in real-time due to thei
