technically there is a DSP scripting language in Bitwig that isn't public but you can find some examples floating around online. That said mixing DSP + UI is hard , and if you want to make the scripting user accessible it makes sense

I wrote this crate [1] as a compressor in Rust which is the opposite of a noise gate, as in gain reduction is applied after a threshold is passed instead of gain reduction applied if it is under a threshold. If you want a really great appro

I wouldn't say std::mem::drop acts like free at all, it's the equivalent of a destructor in C++. Mostly useful when you're dealing with manually allocated memory, FFI, implementing an RAII pattern, etc. One cool thing about D

Is the ABI documented anywhere? Every time I google around for it, I just get information like "COM is ABI stable and language agnostic" but not what the ABI is. I've successfully implemented implementations of single COM i

My issue isn't ABI stability but the ABI itself w.r.t vtable layout. Best I can tell it should be similar to Itanium's spec? [1]. It's been months since I did this, but iirc my problems stemmed from having multiple interfaces

This is similar to the work done in winapi [1], com-imp[2] and my own tangential work on porting VST3 [3] to Rust [4] I'm really glad MS is doing this. What needs to be a bit clearer to me is how they maintain ABI compatibility under t

A bigger issue I've seen is that "gut feeling" comes from a misplaced sense of confidence. Like say, sample size. I can't tell you how many times I've heard engineers say "the data isn't significant becaus

Tencent has about a 5% stake iirc. They also have small interests in Activision-Blizzard and a big chunk of Epic. I have no idea what 5% of a company buys them.

That's fair. Pro Tools crashing during a session has been a meme for awhile, despite it being pretty stable for the last 5-ish years. But keep in mind these companies are usually pretty small, a lot of sole-proprietors out there, and t

I mean most software that's currently maintained has been 64-bit ready for a decade. The issue is that there's a lot of 3rd party ghostware that isn't, and 32 bit bridging to support that code has been popular for awhile. Tha

Waves sent one out last month as well. Par for the course really. Audio pros are some of the most distrustful users w.r.t updates because they've been burned so many times.

>So in this example, half of the putative "gain" is actually inflation. Is this an issue in practice? Like I get if I have an asset that meets inflation for a decade than I'll lose value through the taxation. But that woul

I don't think you could say CG taxes are "double taxation" since only the income from the asset is taxed, not the principle. >it's much less than that because of inflation Why would you hold an investment for 55 years

Yes, my preferred way of looking at chords is superimposed intervals. The four chord qualities (major, minor, augmented, diminished) are built like: - Diminished: Minor Third + Minor Third - Minor: Minor 3rd + Major Third - Major: Major 3rd

(not an economist but I'm really interested in this) What's the difference in theory and practice between UBI and changing the standard deduction/marginal rate? Like if we give out $6k a year to everyone through a $500 check,

It's not half diminished though, since there's no 7? I'm talking about just the diminished triad (min 3rd + min 3rd). It's been years since I read jazz notation (classical background), but I thought that was just written

by holy_city 7y ago
This is really cool! I think the chord naming has some bugs, but it's been awhile since I studied theory. For example all the diminished triads are labeled "min 7-5" which is kind of alien to me (and wrong, there's no 7)

It's interesting that Uber decided to merge their apps (Uber + Uber Eats) while FB seems to want to create more. Personally I don't care about app count, I'm just not a huge fan of when companies spin features off as products

This has always bothered me. I don't like incurring a tax penalty that has to be paid in cash, when I don't have any more cash to pay it or a way to turn the asset into cash! Sidenote: how do you actually determine the spread for

Consumer (and I assume commercial) bread machines often have a "dough only" cycle that you can use for automating your dough process. But I'd like one with a water filter and more granular control over the germ time, temperat

See I don't like this attitude towards tax incentives because you're missing the tree for the woods. This solution pays me for my inconvenience. It doesn't prevent the inconvenience in the first place or from happening again.

I don't think that making a luxury service more expensive will discourage use, unless we can make each flight cost tens of thousands of dollars. I'd rather just ban assholery than create a steep asshole tax. It doesn't bother
