I do like Rust but I do not like this "Let's reinvent the wheel... in Rust!"-culture ;-)

@jani @liw even tho i work in low-level i do mostly think what users care of. as a user i don't care if there was boreboot written in BASIC, if it improved my life somehow :-) less compatible fork of coreboot does not really improve my life quality...

I’m not excited about oreboot. Fork is not engineering. Neither is replacing mature field-stressed implementation with immature Rust implementation.

Enabling Rust on side with C in upstream #coreboot would be engineering. This way upstream stays mature but Rust can be used to further improve the implementation.

EDIT: I gave this more thought and here’s what I spammed :-) To put story short I don’t believe this works as a “standalone product” but is still potentially useful: https://social.kernel.org/notice/AdIOdilzP66IevvbCy

I use Bitwig myself too but still envy ReaScript, which would really bring alot to table (and pool clips, which are equivalent to FL/Tracker style patterns).

@polarity Yeah, I mean point was not to say that it is bad. It is of course great if it works for you :-) I just merely see it as a different UI for already existing modulation system, in terms of expressive power, so I would not necessarily take EQ/Sampler as analogy here (actually all you need is sampler and all-pass filters if you really want to go that archaic :-)).

@polarity Might a be bit controversial opinion but I've never really got into situation where I would *need* to use grid. It is because the modulation system already for the most part allows to connect stuff freely.

All "must use grid" use cases that I'm aware of are related just to a device that is only available in the grid, which is sort of artificial.

I'd be happier with Bitwig if it had instead of Grid something like ReaScript, which unquestionably adds to Reaper, or at least I would have tons more use for something like that.

@timojyrinki @oherrala Mulle itseasiassa Nokian fall-down opetti tuon kantapään kautta, vaikka omaan nilkkaan se ei taloudellisesti osunut, kun sain nopeasti työpaikan Inteliltä. Opin siitä ainakin sen, että jos kokee patsastelevansa tosi hyväpalkkaisessa duunissa, niin silloin voi lopulta käydä huonosti. Tekemistä kannnattaa jalostaa jopa palkan kustannuksella aika-ajoin...

@timojyrinki @oherrala Taidot on varmin sijoitus mitä tiedän. Ja siinä huomaa hyvin nopeasti, jos sijoittaa väärään kohteeseen, eli tekeminen ei kiinnostakaan :-) Omaisuuden voi menettää aina, vaikka todennäköisyydet olis pieniä, ja osaaminen taas governoi sitä riskiä... Silloin voi aina aloittaa alusta.

@oherrala Näinhän se on tottakai myös :-) Ei sijoittamista silti pidä ottaa ainoana prioriteettina, vaan NATO-termein on hyvä kehittää kaikkia kyvykkyyksiä, kun elämässä voi sattua muutakin kuin henkilökohtainen konkurssi...

Esim. jos olisi pakko valita lapsen kohdalla järkevän harrastuksen ja sijoittamisen kohdalla, niin kyllä mun mielestä järkevää harrastusta kannattaa painottaa taloudellisen turvaverkon. Taitava persaukinenkin tyyppi löytää aina paikkansa.

Ihmettelen välillä näitä sijoittamisesta kiihkoilevia, joiden mielestä jo 5-vuotiaan lapsen pitäis avata osakerahasto, jotta pääsee alle 40-vuotiaana eläkkeelle.

Itse yli nelikymppisenä en kyllä mistään hinnasta lakkaisi tekemästä mitään, koska ihminen on luotu tekemään asioita. Kuulostaa aikaistetulta kuolemalta.

Parempi ajatus omasta mielestä maksaa lainat pois kokonaan, ja keskittyä sen minimoimiseen kuinka paljon rahaa on pakko tulla sisään. Itsellä kuukausittaisiset eksistentiaaliset menot on n. 300 euroa asumiseen , ja 400 euroa tyttären opiskelujen tukemiseen. Esim. autoa en tarvitse keskusta-asunnon takia. Kallis keskusta-asunto säästää yllättävän paljon kaikissa muissa kuluissa, vaikka hankintahinta ja tarvittavan lainan koko onkin suuri. Lisäksi se on helposti likvidoitavaa omaisuutta.

Ostelen kyllä krpyptoa ja osakkeita silloin tällöin, mutta tavallaan tavoitteettomasti. Se on vaan mukava harrastus siinä missä shakki tai nettipokeri... Ei sijoittamisessa oikein varmaan pärjääkään pidemmän päälle, jos siitä odottaa liikoja, ja ei tykkää itse tekemisestä.

looking into using relatively new #accel subsystem of the #kernel to accomplish some work tasks...

i was afraid i would have to invent something like this by reusing some of the gpu code but this is great.

CONFIG_DRM_ACCEL for the win i hope :-)

I use #Lucidchart for these because UML style used by #drawio is the crappy and convoluted UML version, and with #yEd you have to go too great lengths for a trivial task: https://yed.yworks.com/support/qa/2054/is-a-data-flow-diagram-palette-available

It is sad how weak the support is for this diagram type among the tools, given that it is the most useful of them all...

Edit: actually draw.io also has old school versions in the palette so I was wrong. I might use that in the future :-)

the only diagram type actually like is old school data flow diagrams (DFD) :-) sequence diagrams and state machines are IMHO redundant and made only to please managers that "we are doing something". DFD's are not sensitive to code changes and provide actually useful map how data moves within a system.

#apache #tvm is somewhat involved to install #macOS laptop. At least compared to pipx install apache-tvm in my #Linux desktop.

I followed these randomly found instructions but rolled it backed immediately because I don’t want to re-spend my time on this.

Also makes me wonder how big mess compiler toolchains are in macOS really:

  1. I have Xcode command-line tools installed, which I expect to readily include llvm in some form.
  2. Instructions imply that I also need to install llvm, which logically makes no sense to me.
  3. Instructions also imply that I need to have GCC.

Might be just that the instructions are the broken portion but feels somewhat primitive and unorganized…I’m glad I develop iOS or Mac applications because then I would actually would have to use this as a real development machine I guess :-)

PS. The official instructions for macOS do not work in macOS at all :-)

When I have had to use Windows I've WSL2 totally inconvenient environment to work in with a number of things breaking up badly. A regular VM works much better and shell access goes by SSH.

That said I think as a technology it is a great piece still. I'd see for it more use if there was way to make Windows applications that would embed Linux kernel as a run-time.

It could e.g. be used to deliver accurate software versions of hardware consumer products, which tend to run Linux quite often...

Personally, I think that these new bc replacements make me feel more like Cobol vibes with "1 kilometer - 1 meter" type of expression support than modern vibes...

SGX/TDX and SEV-SNP are far from useless as hardware products but both fail to deliver to de-facto measure how things are cleared up in the security world: transparency. In both the transparency is not blocked by technologies being closed. It is blocked by not having cheap off-the-shelf hardware to try out the CPU features. One can objectively claim that these are the weaker parts of the arch-code, not because of unskilled developers but because of very small audience who tests these features in the wild.
