I think a big question here is, "what is the goal?" A key distinction is whether the NN is intended to handle the signal directly (the NN is the filter) or if it's just a technique for finding filter coefficients (the NN d

Cable TV has 12-15 minutes of ads per hour depending on network. It's been that way for a very long time, but slightly on the rise for the last few years.

As much as I agree that Rust needs a better story for builds and interacting with other languages, it sounds like you have a misunderstanding over what Cargo primarily does and what crates are. A crate is a single compilation unit of Rust.

I don't disagree, I find cargo insufficient for projects of any meaningful complexity (it doesn't even support post build steps...). But it's really good at one thing: compiling crates. But I haven't had a ton of trouble

I think most criticism of buybacks would go away if we eliminated the capital gains tax and treated income equally regardless of where it comes from.

Cargo is a package manager first and minimum viable build system in far second. Comparing it to CMake is a bit unfair. If you need a real build system use cargo make or CMake itself.

I think honestly the problem is a lack of tech literacy. I've seen spec sheets that are glorified database and json schemas in a spreadsheet, put together by BAs and translated by hand. It could be done directly if every BA had enough

Functional and declarative programming are mostly specifying requirements directly. You don't need a AI to do it, in fact that would be the wrong tool (AI is good for fuzzy problems and inference - not following a spec). An extreme exa

I thought it was a poorly forecasted demand shortage that led to a supply shortage, since auto manufacturers reneged on their purchasing a year ago.

In my experience lisps are orders of magnitude more complex than Rust, and require extensive debugging to be certain that the code works. Rust is mostly a compile and run experience, idiomatic Rust is hard to screw up.

Some languages require higher level internal representations ("IR"s) to be "lowered" to lower level representations before code generation - in other words like high level semantics or syntactic sugar and transform into

I downvoted it because I think it's a meme that ignores where contemporary compiler engineering is happening. We don't even realize they exist anymore - V8, Graal, Roslyn, etc are all optimizing JIT compilers running in the backgr

RTAudio isn't a DSP library, it's a thin wrapper around audio driver APIs on desktop operating systems (and maybe mobile? I haven't used it in years). Elk is awesome but it's a proper linux distro, which may require more

I think the biggest problem with YAML is not YAML itself but what people use it for. It's very flexible and readable for smaller files (much more than TOML - which is awful for hierarchical data). A bigger problem is that so many thing

Can anyone comment on how/if VST GUIs work properly? VST2 doesn't make many guarantees but the VST3 spec implies that Wayland is not supported at all. Ubuntu/Ubuntu Studio is a decent enough distro for audio production, so it

Carrying out an attack for personal gain is malicious. It doesn't matter if the payload is for crypto mining, creating a backdoor for the NSA, or a vulnerability you can cite in a paper. Pentesting unwitting participants is malicious,

If you spend all day writing web servers and clients it might seem fundamental. Most of my code doesn't touch the network so I don't mind if I need the ecosystem to do it - I do that in C and C++ too. I think people are fairly app

Go has to do this because they include https in the standard library. Rust defers that task to the ecosystem, so it doesn't have the same requirements.

It's not that strange, it's just a dark pattern. But it does touch on a specific problem with permissions interfaces. If you have an interface that looks like "requestPermissions(...)" or something like that and have a c

I'm really not a fan of having a global TLS knob to turn in all Rust crates... that strikes me as heavy handed and inelegant. Why give a global configuration variable for something used by a tiny portion of crates? And what if a crate
