None, since no customer ever asked for it. Much more people are asking for AAX or even LV2.

I'm making an audio plugin library in D, with the explicit goal to avoid all the pain of setting IDE projects, paths, and managing dependencies (all of this is done through the language package manager). https://github.com&#

Perlis's Epigrams are my favourite. http://www.cs.yale.edu/homes/perlis-alan/quotes.html "When we write programs that 'learn', it turns out that we do and they don't." I still wonder

Interesting. CUDA kernels are plagued by an explosion of entry points and OpenCL C kernels by the lack of meta-programming.

Well, it's true that they aren't good UI toolkits in D either (let's say as good as Qt). For me it works as the "everything" language, I also wrote CUDA bindings once (obviously that wouldn't work with mixed ho

It's the same old C++ rhetoric "only C++ can do it". Before it only C could do it, and before it only assembly could do it. Reasoning starting from conclusions to lead to initial constraints is backwards reasoning. For exampl

So: a C++ competitor shall beat it in every dimension you've choosen, until then it's futile to complain about the shortcomings of C++. This doesn't sounds very logical, only like a case of sampling bias.

Don't think that cognitive biases don't apply to you.

I use π for new kinds of projects and the golden ratio φ for well known types of projects. (edit: however, the only purpose of an estimate might be to go faster, so perhaps it's better to have an unrealistic one)

Also a task of finding what already exists.

My biggest complaint is how painful it is to change brush size and brush opacity.

So, it seems millenials are quite frugal after all, and previous generations aren't as much.

Burnout is a physical problem first and foremost, albeit caused by prolonged stress. (very interesting link: http://www.arltma.com/Articles/BurnoutDoc.htm )

It seems to me each DAW focuses on a particular problematic. - Ableton Live: focus on painless transition between live and written electronic music, quick producing - Reason: focus on modulating everything with a studio feel - Orion: focus

Hi, I make audio plugins. Let me know if you need OEM plugins for your DAW.

Yes the problem is with the grey area between recoverable and unrecoverable. .unwrap is only suitable for the unrecoverable case, while exceptions are suitable for both cases. Hence why .unwrap in examples is harmful imho.
801.
by p0nce 9y ago
See above where one user is using .unwrap for parsing errors (input errors are recoverable).
802.
by p0nce 9y ago
Exceptions are well suited for parsing errors because they embed an error message.
803.
by p0nce 9y ago
> panics aren't for recoverable errors, in any circumstances. And I understand that. Hence why unwrap everywhere is harmful.
804.
by p0nce 9y ago
> 2. If you have an invariant that you either can't (or won't) move into the type system, then unwrap/expect/panic'ing can be appropriate precisely because if that unwrap gets tripped, then that will indicate a b

That and the bizarre thinking that ".unwrap" is a perfectly ok thing to write in some cases (don't worry it will never make it to production!). No, ".unwrap" turns input errors into bugs, and there is no production

Hopefully some mechanism to handle exceptional cases at the language level will be invented soon.

It's harder in the office because it's a social group, the chatter may talk about you, your project, etc.. So the expectation is that you listen to it.

You can have people very happy about your product and still little to no "word of mouth" if your product is niche. For a niche product each happy user would have to tell many other potential user to make one conversion. So practic

Doing this very often. Abstracting the background noise and conversation is a skill that can be trained. It's even better in public libraries, because the noise is 10x lower than the typical open-space environment. You also make random
