I contacted one of Oboe authors and I reached conclusion that this doesn't achieve anything you couldn't already get with openal-soft lib. You can expect some 20ms of audio delay, plus 16-33ms of touchscreen latency . If you are c

There's a I2S bus that's used for communicating with external component (audio codec) that has ADC/DAC. Perhaps APU is meant for that?

I don't know. I don't have the same problem with Lua and Python. Lua is simply small enough not to have baggage and Python seems to have a healthy community that keeps updated with best practices. It also helps that both languages

The code one writes does get simpler. Unfortunately, the code some dozen developers write ends up with all imaginable ways of writing the same thing. That's my biggest pain with C++.

It's more than that. The mind doesn't have the mental capacity to hold all of yourself at once, so when interacting with others you become fused with current role and it becomes almost impossible to juggle other roles with current

There is this popular 'trick' for 2D pixel art to use normal maps for dynamic lightning. I call it a trick because it uses 3D hi-res technology (shaders) to enhance 2D lo-res artwork. There are several indie pixelart games that us

I feel that the focus on infrastructure _is_ the content. It may be over the top (dithering is especially BS), but without battery indicator how many people would discover that the server runs on sustainable solar power?

It's interesting to consider why pixel art is still around. Obviously it's not just retro nostalgia. One reason is that self-imposed constraints (both resolution and palette) are known to boost creativity and result in more consis

If you used Lua before, then this seems like perfect lisp to learn. If you don't know any Lua then some features will confuse you (multiple return values, error handling, arrays as tables, pairs/ipairs) because all these design de

It works if you run both expressions from file. There's a tutorial page that explains why this doesn't work in REPL. See "Locals are per-chunk" here: https://github.com/bakpakin/Fennel/blob&#x2F

I'm currently looking for lisp-like language for Lua. I've looked into Urn, Lumen and Fennel, still haven't decided on one. Maybe someone can answer - why does fennel description insist on macros as compile time feature? I&#x

It's been few days since this post, don't know if you're still checking the thread. I'm really a beginner at lisp, so perhaps my questions won't make much sense? I'd like to have Lua host application (in Love2d

> 5G technology is effective only over short distance This is not really true. Yes, the signal range is reduced at higher frequencies used by 5G (>5 GHz), but this is mitigated by using beam-forming to concentrate output power where i

Looks great, I'll dig in. Two questions: Does it generate code that can be optimized by luaJIT? (for example these guidelines: http://wiki.luajit.org/Numerical-Computing-Performance-Guide ) Can anyone compare to Urn? It

Sounds great. Unfortunately, samples are not redistributable.

Unfortunately, the singing samples are very poor. Does anybody by chance know a good sample library of singer/choir with multiple samples per octave, with a license that allows re-distribution? Surprisingly hard to find.

I find WhatsApp user experience lacking and I wouldn't use it if my friends and contacts weren't all there. It's decent platform for simple sentences and trading emojis/memes I guess.

Great points in article, I was just expecting more than critique of slack. I think slack might be used as efficient group mind by disciplined team. For example, using one channel to strictly stay on topic and keep focused, and another chann

The common denominator seems that recognition patterns have much lower threshold for firing. In that sense, there is less cognitive filtering, but perhaps more sensory filtering? Multiple results are competing for attention, which creates t

Oh, I see what you mean now. Left side shows which branches you used to get to leaf, and right sides show other paths to root. It might be very useful occasionally, but would probably have to stay hidden most of time because it would clutte

I haven't heard of any professional project using assembly in last couple of years. Maybe bits and pieces, like startup code to set up C/C++ environment, things that a single person can write and maintain. It doesn't work at

I don't know what their reasoning was, but it might have not been technical one. Embedded development positions are not your typical developer positions, they require more intimate knowledge of system, of possible states and transition

Great list of related projects! I missed some of them in my research. Now I'll deep dive into each and steal all the good ideas. Text-to-speech is very promising, but I could use it only about 20% of time during the day. Other problem
