As mentioned below we are doing audio plugins. Every cycle is precious to our artists. Especially since we are doing spectral effects.

Yep! We release the same plugins on Windows, macOS and iOS so we get great coverage with compilers too. I should set up a build for Linux with gcc but haven’t had the time yet.

We compile with msvc so we use those built in analysis tools and also the Xcode analysis tools, and clang-tidy! And of course checking with ASan. I may have exaggerated with the “nearly every” sorry! But we do use sufficiently enough tools

Yeah I did a few years in finance on a c++98 code base for my sins. (My colleagues were great, but the code was not optimal to say the least. Then again I really loved making it better and faster.) My intention above was just to say experie

Just spent two years writing a medium size fresh c++ codebase in modern style with all the warnings turned to max and nearly every static analysis tool we could throw at it from day 1. It’s been an utter pleasure with no pain that can be bl

Sorry I meant more in the sense that a large number of English voters don’t feel Westminister represents their English specific concerns. Here’s a great talk by Fintan O’Toole where he explains his take on this viewpoint far better than I e

It’s probably mostly just down to the fact that there are a lot more English citizens than others. Historically, England is richer and until recently all important decisions were made in London. Then there is the fact that most Americans an

Three clicks to find out what it is: 1: “Minimal whisper.cpp example running fully in the browser” 2: “Port of OpenAI's Whisper model in C/C++” 3: “Whisper is a general-purpose speech recognition model.”

Adam Curtis’ most recent work, Traumazone, aims to capture some of the feeling of what it was like to go through the collapse of the Soviet Union and the collapse of the “capitalism” that followed. I found it very powerful and helped me emp

I’ve seen an advanced version of this once. A company I’m familiar with made sure it was relatively easy for users to copy existing licenses. So in an organisation where their software was popular but maybe a pain to get a purchase order fo

Cyclists and runners like paying monthly for fitness apps with a social networking component so it’s not a completely dumb idea. I enjoy paying for Strava for example and to be honest don’t need any new features. They just need to keep it w

Growing up in rural Ireland in the late 70s and 80s The Breakfast Club seemed so damn cool to us. Life for these kids seemed impossibly great and it was hard to understand why they were so jaded. At least the more privileged ones. But then

The storage problem is wildly overstated when we look at data from real world experience. Great thread here explaining how we need far less storage than is often claimed: https://twitter.com/enn_nafnlaus/status/156

I’m glad you posted this as a reminder to everyone to be wary of my supposed fact. I was unsure if I should have even posted it but I’ll spend some time now and have a look for the source. Edit: wow @popehat deleted all their tweets!

Yes! Pre compiled headers are an absolute must have for any large enough project in msvc. Well worth the effort.

I apologise in advance for a lack of reference (was probably Popehat) but the most bizarre if not scary thing I read about the public’s attitude to prisoners and justice was that if you asked them “Should prisoners be allowed to read books?
