Also, widely disliked and abhorrently expensive.

(For anyone misunderstanding the reference to Epic, it's the name of an electronic healthcare record system widely used in American hospitals, not the game company Epic Games)

In the OSdev world that's called an "Alta Lang" problem. https://wiki.osdev.org/Alta_Lang

The exokernel makes this a nonstarter if you ever want to run untrusted code, as it implies hardware takeovers, compromised peripherals/TPMs/drives/etc. especially when it claims to be AI first.

Realistically, the same could be said about the simulation theory. I don't really buy the article as-written, despite also not personally believing we're in a simulation.

I agree with you, don't get me wrong. I'm just pointing out that comparing the two as if disproving an inherently empirical thing (we're in a simulation) also disproves a belief-system/faith-based thing (God or religio

I'd say the question is flawed (at least, in this context); religion is purposefully the opposite of empiricism for most everyone I know, anecdotally. Hence why it's given the term "faith".

I'm an atheist, but I can tell you that no, they are not - at least not to many believers.

I would imagine the hand-wavey response might not be far away from "God is not algorithmic".

I don't, no, but why should I trust the maintainer, and why should the maintainer trust Randy from some random site?

I got the impression there was a disconnect between product and eng teams based on quite a few spicy responses from Serif on the forums. Was that the case?

The rationale for needing a random driver makes some sense. The statement that they found a random build that was signed by some randy is a horrifying prospect.

Oh neat, thanks! Had no idea.

That's so, so much easier said than done.

How could they beef it up if they don't know the problem is there? You can write frivolous tests all you want; bugs are a part of life. They'll occur even if you test thoroughly, especially in new software. It's the response

Whatever is being used for what I assume is AC mains voltage with heavy load amperage does NOT look cut out for the job. It's screaming fire hazard to my eyes.

I didn't realize VST3 was dual licensed but I don't know of any other way to download the VST3 libs other than the same Steinburg panel that, if memory serves, also required signing the agreement before you had access to any of th

There's that, and then there's the explicit design decision that the two are very cleanly separated as it's somewhat common in more professional environments to run the audio portion on another machine entirely, and configure

Correct, it just hands you native handles. What you do with them is up to you. JUCE is a popular UI framework (at least it was 10 years ago). But I've seen people put electron apps somehow into a VST.

by junon 1y ago
Audio is often processed on a separate thread than the UI. If memory serves (been a while) there's the UI portion and the audio engine portion of most VSTs, which can be booted together or independently. So threading is very important.

I just hope they don't try to sneak in Google Analytics again.

Wow, after all these years. This is a very Good Thing. You could get access to it before but you had to sign a very long agreement and it was always a PITA. Steinberg is only going to benefit from this, I think.

Curious, aside from people who are immune or whatever, does any type of mosquito bite not itch?

Thanks for the correction, that sounds right. I thought I had remembered IRC but wasn't sure.

Yep. And their internal comms were on the same server if memory serves. They were also down.
