I can indeed see this being useful for realtime audio. I spent a lot of time trying to optimize IPC performance while making a 32 - 64bit bridge for audio plugins. I used a related hack that allowed me to reduce inter-process synchronizatio

Sure, this will never be a 100% alternative to electron. People who derive pleasure from writing HTML, Javascript, and CSS whenever possible will never stray from that kind of framework. As you say, some also choose these frameworks because

Neat. This and Oryol [1] appear to have similar goals, I think this already calls for a more in-depth comparison... Either way, this kind of technology could end up being a better choice than the node-webkit / electron paradigm, for ma

If you want to live-code directly in a DAW from a plugin, there is Lua Protoplug. It's completely centered on being a plugin, so your script processes blocks of sound/MIDI as requested by the host (here's a MIDI in/out e

If I understand correctly, we want to compute co-edges here. I believe there are algorithms to do this, I know SketchUp has this feature [1]; also Gmsh [2]; and I remember seeing Blender plugins that do the same thing (can't seem to fi

It's an interesting interpretation, but I don't think Pampush is arguing that a trait must be present in a common ancestor in order to have a single name. He's certainly familiar with parallel evolution, usually the basic exa

The difficulty in importing C++ libraries from other languages don't really represent a Rust issue, but rather a C++ issue, of course. As to the very interesting question of how it's handled here, it looks like part of the project

Because the nodes in a path are determined randomly, with weighting based on publicly available scores, you can simply estimate the amount of traffic between any two given nodes. Here's a summary of how routes are chosen: http:/&

This is pretty indisputable. Yes, recent and popular movies are still being shot on film, which very well reflects the fact that old habits die hard, and that creatives, producers and investors easily let their own biases and "shibbole

I think we might further define two types of lumper-splitter divides: analytical, and operational. This article explicitly restricts itself to analytical issues, though I'd say it strays into operational territory in the "software
