cool my #riscv #keystone page table bootstrapping fixes for #cva6 are all merged to upstream. i debugged the issues over a month so nice to see that it was worth it. actually learning how #opensbi is implemented was in all cases definitely a good lesson to learn.

In 99,999% of cases it would be better if people would work out with existing and established open source communities to enable #Rust rather than making their "better" completely new version of any possible asset.

It is slow, tedious, complicated and sometimes even quite discouraging but if you are successful then you are also doing something of high measurable value. And by going through the long and hard path also the end users will get the governance of long-term support, which they IMHO deserve.

At least for me the end user is the king of the hill, not developers. We need to do the hard and nasty part.

Today, on January 11th, we have to remember who died in 2013: Aaron Swartz AaronSwartz

You may know him from his contribution to or creation of:

blank ‱ Markdown
blank ‱ The Creative Commons License CreativeCommons
blank ‱ RSS rss blobcat_rss
blank ‱ Reddit

We must never forget him and his contributions to our world forever - especially due to circumstances of injustice and the cause he became a martyr for.

@oldladyplays the point of failure in my case was the web version of https://novationmusic.com/components which works perfectly in chrome. possibly could give a shot a ff if webmidi has since been fixed.

i just put this because it is not really literal truth that google has somehow "failed". google has not failed more than any other browser vendor.

@oldladyplays tbh, i have had the same experience you described with both browsers and that sort of defines when i switch to the other. some important site completely fails to work. right now i'm on chrome as firefox webmidi support was broken last time i was on firefox. so i do not see obvious "great" in the browser arena...

only locked in constraint is that i don't touch derivatives because upstream gets e.g. security fixes fastest.

Hmm... Does any of the standalone spreadsheets, such as #LibreOffice Calc, have equivalent to excellent #GoogleFinance function in Google Sheets? While at #Intel I used that to fill my tax reports and some of my co-workers used my "app" too but I've lost in since...

I'd rather redo it in standalone spreadsheet rather than browser...

Cubasis is unlikely contender for this but maybe something like https://www.beepstreet.com/ios/drambo could possibly realize this. My all time fav on mobile in Caustic but it is pretty much dead project unfortunately... still the best music software made ever made for phone tho ;-)

I hope a mobile #DAW such as Cubasis would take on #dawproject format. That would be a kller app for me at least or truly useful application other than compatibility. I.e. easy way to draft stuff on phone or tablet, and then move it seamlessly to desktop. On desktop it is supported by #Bitwig, #StudioONE and #Reaper (last one through ProjectConverter).

@josh @thisweekinrust @rust @clarfonthey the main reason i like to use kernel mastodon is that it self-governs my social media behaviour. i consider everything that i post and comment against CoC as I would in LKML :-) bit off-topic from the discussion, but i could see the point in such domain if you ought to keep your social media semiprofessional and on topic...

@brauner interesting but not too surprising. like e.g. for almost any possible way you could ever possibly think of exchanging key material between peers or groups, there's some company with a patent. i'd expect that if i have anything with at minimum two code blocks, there's an entity with a patent for that.

there's a place for software patents, when it is like an actual invention but for most part they're nonsense. good example of such might be marching cubes algorithm for instance, for which autodesk held patent up until 2005 (imho rightfully so)...

I have a hard time understanding why Red Hat patented the concept behind the idmapped mount work I did? I mean just overall why even do this and also why hasn't anyone ever talked to us about this? I don't care about patents but this is really weird given that this patent is given to a single person but none of the actual people involved in this are even mentioned. Then again, I know nothing about patents. đŸ€·

@ReimanSaara Joo, jep đŸ€Ł

Samoin olen havainnut, ettÀ lÀhes jokainen merkittÀvÀ poliittinen liike Suomessa tykkÀÀ puhua talouspolitiikastaan objektiivisena, lÀhes tieteellisenÀ. Onhan siinÀ tietty se perÀ, ettÀ kaikilla on kÀytössÀÀn samat VM:n tutkimusraportit yms. mutta on jopa aika tieteellisesti kestÀvÀÀ todeta, ettÀ ennennÀkemÀtöntÀ tulevaisuutta koskevat pÀÀtökset ovat aina vÀistÀmÀttÀ arvauksia, joita tukevat aiemmat historiaan perustuvat kokemukset.

Esimerkiksi viime vuosina tekoÀly on muokannut todellisuutta tÀysin ennalta ennustamattomalla, mutta raskaasti yhteiskuntaa muovaavalla tavalla, ja mikÀÀn vuosia vanha raportti ei ohjannut meitÀ valmistautumaan tÀhÀn rajuun muutokseen.

@ReimanSaara Jep, ja myös jonkunlaisia tieteellisiÀ meriittejÀ omaavia riittÀÀ Suomessa ja maailmalla, jotka ovat osanneet muuttaa auktoriteetin tuottoisaksi bisnekseksi. Esim. Suomessa on suorastaan perinteet kliinisen lÀÀketieteen tutkinnon omaavista ihmisistÀ, jotka myyvÀt kaikenlaisia tohtorin erikoisrohtoja ja ravinto-oppeja :-)

often over-looked topic in #audio #plugins: relocation of data. many plugins gather dust in my collection because it takes too much effort to share the presets and other data (such as samples and wavetables). this is managed badly in the audio industry to the level that it is exception that there are convenient mechanisms to do this.
