You should not use standard pow and log but approximations of these functions. These are usually faster than any lookup table that fills a good part of the cache and then you stall. But there might be some gray area, depending on the system

That's new to me, wouldn't the OS be required to be deterministic to begin with, for a deterministic language to actually be deterministic? Since most OSes are not, the only thing left is raw speed (or dedicated dsp chips).

A single GC stutter that leads to an audiple drop-out means complete failure of the audio program. The article also mentions that: "Don’t use Objective-C/Swift on the audio thread", which can be generalised to "Don'

These mistakes basically boil down to not using slow scripting languages and making the core buffer loop run fast and undisturbed. For realtime synthesis use c or c++, optimise early, use trigonometry approximations in range -pi / pi,

No, more like dogs don't care much about taste, as long as the food is somewhat edible and contains minimal nutritional value (some dogs eat shit or rotten carcass for example). That's why my guess is that their taste buds and sto

The pictures look pretty sad and the mc donalds house is filled with a cloud of sugary sweetness. Kids may like it but if one is older and still likes it, i would assume that this person either got addicted to this in some form or simply ha

It's interesting how the PR machines at both Apple and Microsoft apparently are recently running quite hot to diffuse any further emotionally grave discussion of concerns regarding their low-level-builtin 'security' holes in

Ignorance and lazyness stops people from using linux. The thing about linux is that it's the best free system we have. It does not matter how good it works or that there is no photoshop. It's important that you don't want to

yes, L cache for sure is more delicate than a ram that you clip to the motherboard with 1000x the size - so it's only a cost factor? what is the other reason to not simply increase the cpu die size and put lots of cache next to it? the

Anyone knows why the L caches could not simply be as large as our current main memory, let's say 16gb L2 cache and 4gb L1 chache directly on the die - would that be possible if price would not matter? What kind of problem is this?

'free world' might imply that such negotiations are in public interest since they affect lots of people and therefore have to be made available to the public, so they are not to be held in secrecy to begin with.

All this stuff from subway over starbucks to mcwhatever tastes like the same sugary industrialised matter with differently blended densities. Dislike at first encounter.

Any musical program running on a machine, one that outputs a continuous number stream, shall be written so that on execution the program gives the machine the ability to interpret and express a part of its current inner state. That current

This was new around late 90s i think, yes its a good example how 80s style programming with knowledge of music theory can give quite nice mega-arpeggios. But this also misses the point, since the strength of our digital machines is not gene

That is certainly more musically interesting from a perspective of what can be achieved with computers, however the translation into electronic music of that tennis data involved lots of artistical freedom and it needs much more precise inf

You have a misconception: any apple device is not a 'personal computing' one, but a 'corporate controlled' one. There goes your dilemma.

thats why it's important to propagate ideas for symmetric upload/download connections and self-hosting.
