I'm afraid my answer is disappointing: just Rust, with the necessary boilerplate to wrap the code in AU or to the audio interface...

I don't use D (I make my audio stuff using Rust) but it's always good to see new audio libraries/tools. Slightly off-topic, I'd love to see an open project for audio plugin specs. VST and AU are managed by private compan

Employers have the same concerns for their potential hires, that's why there are interview processes after all. Leverage these interviews to ask the right questions. They may get surprised when you turn the table around, just remind th

If I "nap", it's either staying awake or going full sleep for hours. I found that just laying down for 15 minutes still provides a good rest. The body still rests a bit and the mind is more fresh.

spotify compresses all songs, it's my biggest pain with it.

Nuclear being safer than other major sources just means we shouldn't demonize it and stop everything right now out of panic. it means it's just an important asset while waiting for renewables to take off.

I appreciate this aspect a lot when I travel to germany. It's not so much that they are rude and don't apologize, it's mostly that they're very direct and to the point. no politeness decorations.

I think accidental orders are not actually a problem, it's not just a sound in a conversation that can trigger it, but also how you say it, with body language and context.

Many animal trainers (be it for circus, dogs, etc) use german because (supposedly) their animals can perceive and memorize its sounds better.

In a way I agree: machine learning should not (try to) replace human art. However, I think it has its place if it's part of the artistic process. Many artists put the emphasis not on the end product, but on the process itself. We can p

I think there are memory allocators that provide bounds, yes, but I never bothered finding one. Time-constrained code is so demanding already that handling the memory part is just one drop in an ocean of constraints. (and the whole thing is

it's all in the "well written" part. of course well written C/C++ is good. the very point of Rust (and others, like Ada) is to admit that we, programmers, cannot do good work all the time. anyone thinking "I'll

the cool thing about rust is that you can use it for real-time programming, one example being DSP/audio. it often means no locks, nothing blocking, no dynamic allocation (malloc and most other allocators do not provide upper bounds of

softer sections are an integral part of the music. what you're asking is like forcing movies to have all scenes with a constant luminosity no matter if it's day or night. softer sections are actually an excellent way to make other

Not only it wears you out, but it can be dangerous, especially in clubs. The longer you listen to loud music (can be just a few minutes!), the more damage is done. Having music with a wide dynamic range helps to have an overall lower volume

There is no such thing as a kind of turing completeness in linguistics. natural languages are not even finite and are rarely used to express "computations."

I only have basic knowledge about these old things, so thanks for the info. While MIDI endured the effects of time quite well, as a developer it is a pain in the ass. Every device (or DAW) handles things a bit differently.

Computers are powerful but boring as hell when it comes to creating music. Lately physical machines have been getting popular again (drum machines, modular systems like eurorack, etc). The computer is then used to glue everything together (
