Almost feel ashamed writing such a dumb tool but the truth is that #musicians love bad software (and companies that hate musicians).

Best alternative I know for this would be this ugly Win32 vomit:

was worth of trouble making this quick little tool for getting millisecond lengths for different divisions.

i think i also add note frequency chart type of thing to it but that is less crucial. Does all calculations with rational numbers instead of floating point numbers as there are no imaginary numbers in this context.

@kedde forgot to multiply beat length by four, and also found a pure Rust crate, which seems rather sane and properly maintained: https://github.com/cmpute/dashu

So going forward with that.

Just testing out a #Rug #crate called rug, which seems to give convenient access to libgmp, libmpfr and libmpc.

Also these new cross-over widgets for The Grid are nice:

Since I use #IRC "professionally" I spent 50 something euros to for annual #IRCCloud subscription.

The main reason is the bouncer they have in it that "just works" without even trying: https://blog.irccloud.com/bouncer/

If I ever build a company I will get IRCCloud Teams instead of Slack ;-)

#rustc blows up completely when replacing a source file under ~/.cargo/registry/src with random data. It really should do better. This is not appropriate way to signal memory corruption, shouldn’t memory safety take care of this? :-) #rust #rustlang

Sixel test. It is funny how much sixels have late years go appreciation when they were invented by DEC already in 1987, when they introduced VT-320 series of dummy terminals ;-)

During holidays I found about #IBM Plex: https://www.ibm.com/plex/

Love this font! Best thing from IBM in years.

My apartment is about 7 min walk from central railway station of Tampere and I get these all the time. I really have to fight myself of not fuzzing in...

Unfortunately many new open source projects have performance benchmarks that seem to be heritage of Apple marketing.

Zed editor is a great example of this. There's so many moving parts missing here that I could write a book just listing those one by one ;-) This is objectively marketing propaganda because absolute timing values without context and environment do not have any other meaning than giving preferred impression.

Examples of reasonable ways to analyze performance can be found from e.g. https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/cpumemory.pdf.
