Most of the time those packages, or the build files for them, are contributed by the distributions themselves, or avid users of those distros. (Reference: I have multiple software projects I've created that are a part of every Linux

The lack of pro-audio software is definitely a thing. Mixxx is pretty good though for DJing. It's better than most of the rest of the pro-audio landscape on Linux. There are now also pretty good DAWs (Bitwig, especially). Releasing

I'm also often an advocate of what you're saying there, "language changes..." But this I think is one of those cases where there is a difference, because it's also descriptive of a community, and it matters how that

That's probably because you've only been a professional developer for 10 years. Here's a quick history lesson: If we go back, say, 25 years, when the term Open Source entered common usage, it was a way of describing the th

I mostly use carbon steel. But putting on my cooking nerd hat, there's one situation where I pull out cast iron, because it's annoyingly heavy: It has more thermal momentum, thus when I am pulling stuff out of my sous vide cooker

Some of what your saying makes sense, but it sounds like you're carrying experience in metal working too far into cooking. > though it is non stick in the same sense that things are harder to stick to burned things :) The usual wa

Weird. I've never had carbon steel rust at all. I suspect you're cleaning it too intensely in an attempt to get what you perceive as dirtiness out. The checkered seasoning is kind of a badge of honor for cooking nerds. Here&#x

Most folks that cook a lot don't use non-stick pans much anyway because they just don't last very long. I keep a couple around for eggs and pancakes, but that's it. The usual recommendation for skillets is carbon-steel and c

It's been tried, a lot. What's perhaps curious is that some major media conglomerate hasn't pushed it -- a Hulu for journalism or something. There's enough consolidation in media that I find that somewhat surprising. I

If I'm doing a project in C++, it's because there's some library that does a lot of the heavy lifting for whatever project I'm on. (This is typical for me: I usually pick languages for a project based on how good the l

Indeed. Pre-C++-11, I would actually have said that I know C++ very well. The language had a pretty stable surface area for a long time. C++11 was such a major change to the language that not only was there a lot new to learn, but a lot o

Weird. I like black sand. I spend a lot of time on La Gomera (closest island to Tenerife, about 30 km away) and actually love the sand there. There's also basically nothing but sand: no shells, few rocks, no random fish carcasses

I bought (separately, used) a full set of older Infinity surround speakers. Eventually they all had to be re-foamed, but I managed to do it myself with parts ordered online. Have some acetone on hand to take the glue back off if you get i

I'll just throw out that until relatively recently, a lot of airplanes still had ashtrays. Antiquated seat design doesn't imply a set of rules. "If I'm not supposed to smoke, then why's there an ashtray?" Sea

I'd add to that, because I think this sometimes isn't obvious for Linux users: Getting things to work as well on a variety of Linuxes is something that would take us as long as implementing a new feature that a bunch of our users

The problem isn't lack of options, it's too many. Also things like Snap and Flatpack don't work well if you're loading plugins in-process (e.g. VSTs).

This is exactly the sort of email we get. Except that this would literally be the first request for Fedora, exactly exemplifying our problem. (Most of our users request things with Ubuntu / Debian bases.)

It's a bunch of stuff. - Standard libraries for audio software are less tested on Linux and tend to be buggier there, and we have to chase down those bugs. - There are a bajillion versions of Linux, and even if you say you only support

I used to work for NI, and at that time (15 years ago) almost everything worked on Linux. But it wasn't shipped because of packaging and support. Now that I'm back to the audio software business, our current product has shipped o

by wheels 3y ago
It's probably a Linux stack. A lot of pro-audio companies have internal Linux versions, but don't ship them because of support / packaging reasons (which are miserable on Linux). That goes away for embedded usage.

I was curious how fast I could do a dark roux (notably, after burning my first one and needing to restart), and I actually managed one in under 8 minutes, and even took a photo to document such: https://imgur.com/a/wDrM

But that's because the star / planet boundary is fusion in the core, and thus Jupiter isn't a star. If Jupiter had fusion in its core, we could consider it a binary star system.

Isn't the maximum size a size where the center of gravity lays outside the larger body? At that point it's a dual planetary system...

I have home fiber. Again, I have 20 ms to Google. 40 ms (approximately what you'd expect from two not-physically-far-apart home fiber links) is already in the range that playing traditional instruments in sync is basically impossible

Yes, latencies of 10 ms are noticeable for musicians. I feel like I can feel everything over 5-ish. A fun fact is that that's why a symphony needs a conductor: one corner of the symphony to the other is 17-ish meters, which is 50 ms

Latency is the issue, not bandwidth, and the internet isn't fast enough for live instruments across it (unless the performers happen to be on the same local uplink). Even me pinging Google is 23 ms, where as most actual home users wil
