I would refactor this.

by iammyIP 10y ago
I think you're right and i misread it. So if the mini-rewrites in silence equal relentless refactoring, that might equal a rewrite nobody ever observed, excellent.

edit: Yes, no problem, i understood now what you meant, crdoconnor put me to it.

I expected some wisdom, but that comment basically says that a rewrite either isn't needed because programmers are already excellent in the first run, or the rewrite will end with a similar shit code in paraphrase, because programmers

It doesn't make any sense to put an apostrophe on a noun just because it's genitive, this is just a recent typographical fad.
187.
by iammyIP 10y ago
That flower's partially wrong. I disagree with the angry flowers possesive case. The apostrophe in possesive case is confusing and illogical.

by iammyIP 10y ago
'childrens' is 'more correct' because it makes the most grammatical sense. Since it's genitiv, why would you apostrophe it, add another character for what reason? Whose ball is it? The dogs ball. Whose exhaust is it

Regarding the video: The contraproductive and unnecessary use of pretty loud 'background-music' is pretty distracting and ruining this for me. It's a disregard for music and i view it also as a disregard me as a viewer, like

Learning a graphical software interface is wasted lifetime, it's like having to learn a new spoken language everytime you want to talk to someone. If however you are married to that person, it might be ok to waste some time to learn th

The first response of an actual AI confronted with the task of creating an Uber-for-cats would be: "What do you mean with that? Please be more precise."

Since the c language is already a human readable abstraction away from the actual hardware instructions, which then again are abstractions on what actually happens on the chip with the transistors and electrons, you could argue that program

Code does not need to be run every frame. You can decide when the gui state gets refreshed, for example only redraw the interface framebuffer on interaction. The linked ocornut imgui is pretty fast however, even without framebuffering. I fo

What does it mean to be a nazi scientist? I would argue most of these people were pretty a-political and just happy that they got their science projects funded, so they were primarily german scientists that did their rocket science in germa

Just some blurry knowledge mixed with ignorance (50/50), because of its platform-centricity. It's probably a bit faster than Java though.

If we can stop mining resources on earth and outsource that to some asteroids, why not? We still need resources.

Unless you don't provide a code example and/or dev chain description i'm unable to follow you.

Afaik obj c got some kind of garbage collection and is heaviliy tuned to use apple libs. Since it's so platform-centric, objc is out of the question for me. Maybe fast, but not as fast as c/c++. I would guess around java speed.

atleast puredata is written in c, i guess the others also to be similar under the hood.

That's not necessarily a off-by-one error, but a broader problem of audio synthesis, which you can generally deal with by applying low pass filtering. For example depending on starting phase of a sinus oscillator multiplied by a simple

My original calculation was that in audio you need to deliver 44000 values per second, in graphics you need 60 - 44000/60 roughly equals to 700. That's the difference factor :) (of course the data volume per delivery and it's

by iammyIP 10y ago
So you put in the parameters into registers 'per hand' in assembly and then memcopyed some function to the right adress (using a function pointer?) to process these registers? Wow. That sounds pretty complicated. For now i just us

by iammyIP 10y ago
Getting audio hardware to behave nicely for audio is pretty nice :) The calculation for the time factor difference is simply 44100/60 which is about 733, i don't know how the 23 microseconds you got there relate to this. Your comp

by iammyIP 10y ago
I disagree with 'pretty similar' and would suggest 'challenging in completely different ways'. Graphics in a minimum 60 fps context is about 700 times less time sensitive. That's almost three magnitudes difference.

Permutations are for my own case pretty low, it's just a replacement for a handful of switches, otherwise the flow is pretty straightforward. But i see that if one wants to restructure the whole program flow on-the-fly it might lead to

So how would you raw-structure a performance critical (audio) program that needs some flexible path for the data processing, like with a 128 sample buffer and about 3-10 choices along the processing path. Processing path should be switchabl

The current code with the function pointers and pods works ok for me, its about in the million per second range and i didn't profile any alternative to it. How would you implement such an alternative with jit code generation into this

by iammyIP 10y ago
[Having "a mix of pod structs and function pointers" is analogous to having an interpreter for some scripting language.] Yes, it might be similar at the core, but i would guess the usual audio pod-struct/function mix is many

by iammyIP 10y ago
sounds intriguing and way more flexible, but the example is for video? i don't know anything about this, but if i had to guess i would say that any runtime code generation is worse performance wise compared to a mix of pod structs and

To be flexible without if / else or switches. If i want a multi-oscillator that can produce different waveforms i use a pointer to different functions depending on the waveform i need. Same goes for different postprocessing / rout
