Indeed there's no question that Nim is basically following C++'s lead on this. Nim iirc always had constructors and destructors. Final piece of the puzzle is move semantics, and I recall a blog post where Araq came up with somethi

It very much is, and the point is, it _used_ to be more like java. Araq basically pulled off a very daring switchover from reference based language system to a value based one. So now the language can credibly claim the same as c++ - no roo

You can just slap a resistor in series, which will induce a drop in potential over it. That, in turn, will mean the potential difference across the capacitor is lower, leading to a more shallow exponential decay of the current over the circ

That's difficult to read. I can only imagine how desperate BOTH sellers and buyers must be.

I disagree. Most of what's platform specific is stuff like shaders, and host window stuff. I definitely do NOT want a graphics layer owning that - I may want to control the type of os window (say, for an audio plugin). I already know g

True, only that Weiner was surprisingly endearing in that documentary. Despite at the time being a staunch republican, it's hard not to like the guy, and when the fall comes you're almost rooting for him. But SBF? The last intervi

I think it's great that you're tinkering with a compiler. But a language is more than a compiler; good language design requires a lot of programming experience, good taste and intuition, an ability to absorb programming language t

Major language crush... Everything from the type system to the compilation model to c++ compat just oozes good taste. Glorious structural record types, real union types (my running theory is that expression-based languages lacking these - l

I mean, it's kind of farcical to complain about Java build systems and compare that to C , which has literally the worst build system/dependency management tooling. Even with vcpkg and conan (which are infinitely better than what

It actually happens all the time, which is why the suggestion is valid (namely that flow typing is useful). Flow typing is deeply related to union types, at least for expression-based languages. Take rust. You have a function that on one pa

Plumbum is great but I actually use the bang notation in Jupyter even more. Actually, for me Jupyter (I use lab but I'm sure NB is amazing too) is the tool that boosts my productivity the most. (And omg vim mode.)

I think what OP is referring to is how fiddly it is to run a subprocess and capture the output. By the way, also super annoying in Java - you have to faff about with a thread (and you can't even really do that in python, which as much

Not entirely sure I got the point of this paper/library. Is it simply that it improves accuracy, or is the user supposed to be able to (after training) leverage the RW components of the model, say, in a later forward/backward indu

It does feel like the propaganda to genuine news ratio has increased markedly roughly since the Trump presidency, however. That's worrying for many reasons, not the least that increases in propaganda are what one might describe as lead

Maybe lookup panel data and repeated experiments. Those techniques are applied when the data is "tabular"; there are often relatively few observations on any individual time axis, but there are many instances of these experiments.

That's fair enough and indeed quite plausible. I guess the same kind of argument would apply to the likes of Huawei them, too?

One other comment. There are two rates: audio rate and control rate. Audio rate is "for each sample". Control rate is roughly "once per frame" i.e. once per buffer. If you want to do anything useful you'll need a GU

My advice would be to start with JUCE. It's a great framework for audio development, and has a lot of example projects for making plugins and hosts. Audio programming is definitely tricky and something of a black art. Even making a sim
