Sat going to #Rust #Finland #meetup in #Tampere: https://www.meetup.com/finland-rust-meetup/ #rustlang

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 #OTD in 2013: Aaron Swartz

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

• Markdown
• The Creative Commons License
• RSS
• 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.

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...

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).

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. 🤷

How to buy Hacks, Leaks, and Revelations, and how to get it for free https://micahflee.com/2024/01/how-to-buy-hacks-leaks-and-revelations-and-how-to-get-it-for-free/

#tokyodawn #prism is rad! #voxengo #span has met its replacement in my books :-) https://www.tokyodawn.net/tdr-prism/

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.

Ottamatta kantaa mihinkään yksittäiseen lehtiartikkeliin, niin kannattaa olla tarkkana asiantuntijoiden kanssa. Jos jonkun tieteenalan asiantuntija esittää näkemyksensä ajankohtaisesta aiheesta mediassa, niin se ei ole monesti kovinkaan poikkitieteellistä tulkintaa. Maailma on monimutkaisempi kuin minkään tieteenalan kapasiteetti tulkita sitä. Monesti tulevaisuus voi myös yllättää, ja monien tieteenalojen tutkimustieto on nimenomaan jo tapahtuneen yleistämistä, ja ennustavat mallit luodaan vain ja ainoastaan tämän pohjalta.

Jos tiedettä haluaa ymmärtää pahansuopaisesti, niin se aina on eräänlaista jälkiviisastelua, katsottiin sitten menneisyyteen tai tapahtumahorisonttiin. Toinen puoli tietysti on se, että joskus tällainen suppeasta perspektiivistä tehty tulkinta voi tietenkin olla myös täysin oikea, mutta sopivalla tasolla oleva kriittisyys on hyvä pitää mielessä.

Today, 15 years ago #OTD the person or group with the fictive name of “Satoshi Nakamoto” created the first cryptocurrency named Bitcoin with the thought of it becoming a secure and fast alternative to fiat currency.

Now it's known as the most wasteful use of electricity, inefficient and limiting capability/functionality, as well as being among the most insecure and de-anonymizing ways to transfer money.

However, what Satoshi Nakamoto probably hasn't expected is how many scam-currencies would come after theirs, and how their invention would create a new breed of the most annoying people known to our species: crypto-bros.

Palvelimen kuuluisi ilmoittaa, että "sähköposti lähetetään, jos se on tietokannassa", eikä raportoida lähtikö sähköpostia vai ei.

As I’ve said in the past, I have a M2 Mac Mini at home. It is useful for ARM64 kernel testing and (non-cross) compilation of kernel in home environment but it is also interesting to compare same tests with my Linux machines and macOS.

How the operating system and CPU cores play together makes me honestly feel that Apple is lost what they should do with macOS. If it is used for anything but real-time multimedia, e.g. raw CPU workloads, it does not really deliver. Apple is shipping general purpose computer of which software internals are optimised as it was a tablet.

i have beefiest M2 with full 32 GB of memory and trying to do a largish build with all CPU cores completely freezes the system or like make the interaction laggy to the unusable level. It is quite ridiculous tbhl. Operating system kernel is expected to do time sharing properly and evenly as possible in 2023.

This is not open source vs closed source issue. It is just bad engineering plain and simple. I mean Windows and NT kernel do deliver well in scalability (and Azure provides strong evidence of this).

For the remaining part up until end of 09/2024 at the university I’m working on enabling stuff in https://sochub.fi/, which is IMHO remarkable being academia driven project.

#SoCHub produces yearly a new bigger RISC-V chip with IP blocks from the partner companies for the purpose different topics where you need a #SoC. If I got it right, they are also beefiest SoC’s designed by #academia anywhere in the world.

#Tampere #University drives the project and integrates the IP blocks to the chip design with their own in-house developed 500 kSLOC tool, partners provide the IP blocks around RISC-V core and eventually they can be used for applied research.

For 10/2024 I’m probably looking for a stable corporate job after windy 2022 in a startup, and this period at the university but plans are then pretty much wide and open.

Is there a a config flag to trigger scripts/clang-tools/gen_compile_commands.py for every build?

For instance, #cmake has CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS for this.

Manually calling it for every build is a glitch if the build is scripted, and tedious if the build is done manually.

#linux #kernel

not going to cover this, i just used it as a reference to create a nu-discoish’s bass sound. also quite happy with the guitar made with @uheplugins #zebra2. i’m going to use these sounds to make a track for a compilation coming from a new israel based freeform #psytrance (or #suomisaundi as it is called) record label. ps. neither autotune nor any pitch correction in the vocal, recorded from laptop mic :-) #audio #musicproduction
