Would be nice if all package managers understood/aliased all common English verbs meaning "remove this package", because I can never remember if it's "remove", "erase", or "uninstall".

Right, someone reminded me yesterday that if you want rigid memory allocation scheme with heap, you can implement that with heapless crate. It will deliver allocation errors from pre-allocated heap per-allocation. For stuff that I might be doing with #Rust in user space that is good enough.

The de-facto response from Rust application for OOM is panic.

Just to prove that not all mail we get is odd or threatening.

LOL, took year after grabbing #kilohearts #phaseplant to realize how take pitch tracking away from sampler: set harmonics to zero.

i like to phase plant as a replacement for one shot sample player because a sound can be mixed fully within a plugin which makes stuff easy to translate between projects and even #DAW's. you get nicely self-contained packages from #preset's. it provides measurable value over using stock plugins this way.

also one thing that is IMHO done better in any other synth i'm aware is preset management as you can easily configure additional directories, which can be e.g. in dropbox.

they've really thought of these boring file management aspects, which make it one of the best options for being a go-to synth.

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 • 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.

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. 🤷

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 myÜs 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 myÜs täysin oikea, mutta sopivalla tasolla oleva kriittisyys on hyvä pitää mielessä.
