Yeah I mean the feature that matters most is high resolution MIDI CC so we can finally avoid stepping. It’s great, but long overdue and not really a game changer.
Very good post. Without accusing the grandparent of anything, "Israel shows that vaccines don't work" is a common misinformation, that is getting people killed day by day. Let's not let it spread.
Only dumb if the interview actually measures something and can reliably discriminate between people who can add value and those who can’t. Tech interviews are more like a hazing than a data-backed objective process.

Have we given up on the idea of “full stack” programmers? Or is the realm of web development now so overly-specialized that we need to push the idea that there’s no way to cross over?

in the mid 90s, i once found a 2gb barracuda (1st gen 7200rpm 3.5" double height hard disk) in the ez-ad. there wasn't much market for huge server type drives where i lived, and the owner was interested in a trade of some random bike parts and a cd-rom drive (a screaming deal, but honestly he just wanted to get rid of it).

it would heat the whole case it was mounted in and make enough noise to be heard rooms away... but it was fast! and two gigabytes was enough for not just one but mulitple linux partitions alongside windows and os/2.

i remember a friend's father losing his shit when i told him i had such a large disk. because it was built for the datacenter, i had to use an external desk fan to cool it. it was simultaneously completely impractical and totally awesome.

If you want MIDI without latency or jitter, you pretty much need an old Atari ST. USB isn't the only source of latency (and I believe MIDI over USB runs in a special mode that minimizes latency).

That is really cool, I tried btrfs a couple times and I had weirdness, sorry for being unspecific, not trying to do a drive by hit job on btrfs, but I moved on.

That said, for a specific case like this, I think this could be really compelling, esp going from compressed source material, to a postgres instance running on loopback block device with btrfs on top, could be really amazing for text analysis like you said. You could actually see performance improvements due to this. 4GB/s for PCIe 4, then due to massive core counts and large L3 caches, you could probably boost that to 20GB/s after decompression.

If you can use compression algorithms that allow for regex search in the compression domain, it could be an effective search speed of 10s to hundreds of GB/s.

I am going to have to play with btrfs again.

Generally, games run worse. That's separate from the performance your system has while running games though, which is decidedly higher (as demonstrated) running Linux. Even still, the translation layers being used for most games are ludicrously quick, oftentimes to the extent that it's really a tossup. Look at how Overwatch runs these days[0], where it's genuinely trading blows with the Windows version. While Windows still hits a 10% higher max framerate, but Linux drops 25% less frames on average. It's remarkably close, and this is the case for many Linux games these days. Earlier today I bought Ziggurat 2, and out of curiosity I compared the framerate in Wine with the native build. The results surprised me, as Wine had noticeably less input lag and only lost 3-5 fps compared to the Linux native version.

If you haven't tried Linux gaming in the past year or so, you should probably give it a second look. Even my horrendous Skylake laptop manages to run the scope of my indie library through Wine, along with whatever other lightweight Linux native titles I want to take on the go. For my money, I'd say the experiences are mostly comparable at this point. Ditching Windows only cost me a handful of DRM-ridden titles, so I see it as a wash.

MIDI 1.0 has 14 bit (per channel) pitch bend, which is probably fine. What MIDI 2.0 adds is per-note pitch bend, so you don't have to dedicate a separate channel for every string, which is awkward and un-idiomatic. (MPE at least standardized how multiple-channel instruments should behave, but that was a relatively recent development.)

This "CD-ROM Professional 1990: Vol 3"[0] (https://archive.org/details/sim_eventdv_1990_3_0/page/n63/mo...) publication has some interesting historical trivia:

* "At the slow pace with which NISO was proceeding (in nine months it still had not even named a committee), and with the historical knowledge that standards organizations take from three to five years to develop a standard, a meeting between Xebec and Reference Technology was held in August of 1985. At this time it was agreed to approach other participants in the industry to see if there was interest in convening an industry group to expedite the formation of a logical format standard. In October of 1985 representatives from the major CD-ROM industry participants met at the High Sierra Hotel in Lake Tahoe and agreed to cooperate in formulating a logical format standard.

From this meeting the ad hoc group was formed and became known as the High Sierra Group. John Einberger of Reference Technology was selected as chairperson.

From December 1985 through April 1986 this group met five times and completed a final draft proposal in May 1986. In June 1986, this proposal was presented to NISO and the European Computer Manufacturers Association (ECMA). In January 1987, the approval activity was passed on to the International Standards Organization (ISO) which performed its final edit in October 1987."

* Article: "HIGH SIERRA VS. ISO 9660: A SUMMARY"

* "NISO's first foray into CD-ROM is Z39.60, a standard for the volume and file structure of CD-ROM (and, potentially, other optical media). This standard is much better known as the High Sierra Group standard."

Yes, and in the secon post I was talking about both legal and illegal, and both of them destroy the labour market for the locals.... and in both cases, opponents to imigration (legal economic or illegal) are branded as nazis.
I hope so too. I could only imagine that they didn't know why this happened and/or didn't have the budget to investigate the problem. They kind of don't have any excuses now. If they've still got the original sources, it should be a 5 minute fix (rounded up to a day with testing and whatever corporate processes they follow).

Nothing is uncrackable and it was that thought that kept me going with this. I can imagine that deliberately-obfuscated DRM like Battle.net would be a hell of a lot harder than this was though. Technically, it was all there for me to see from the start but I didn't know the way I should approach the problem. Finding that out was a big part of it.

I think popular applications should be included with OS reliability because in your day to day these are the tools you use.

I've been using a MBP (2020 Intel) for work (work issued laptop) for about a week full time and if I leave Chrome open for more than a day every tab will crash even if I only have a few tabs open. Opening a new tab results in the "Aw, Snap!" crashed tab page with the unhappy face until I fully close Chrome then it works like normal. The only extensions I use are uBlock Origin and LastPass.

It happens frequently. The system isn't stressed in the slightest too in terms of CPU or memory usage. Does this happen for anyone else? It's running the latest Big Sur.

This hasn't happened to me ever on Windows or Linux after years of hardcore usage.

One big difference with KickStarter is the idea that you can sell your shares/NFTs to become rich. People on KickStarter are gambling that either they get their game or lose their money. With NFTs people are gambling, primarily I think, on getting rich rather than on anything getting produced.

Another difference is some kind of accountability or vetting. Kickstarter, to my knowledge, requires identity verification. It's more plausible that naked con-artists could be held accountable on Kickstarter compared to NFTs. That's a bad combination of "Get rich quick" and "Easy access for scammers."

The thing that NFTs "solve" is moving digital goods outside of their originating contexts without a centralized party. That is, I could have unique avatars or DLC in any game already. NFTs don't help with that. I could also move my digital content between any games that supported it so long as there was some kind of central server to establish ownership. NFTs remove the central server part, but I think a lot of their hype overblows what they can actually deliver.

Is an Egyptian who moves to the US an African American?

What about someone of Dutch heritage whose ancestors lived in Africa for 350 years, and then moves to the US? Can they be called African American? What if they also have Zulu ancestry? Does it depend on what they look like, or does it depend on what percentage is Zulu?

What about someone whose ancestors lived in Jamaica for hundreds of years, ancestry unknown, but dark skinned. If they move to the US and "look" African, can they be considered African American?

Or can you only be called African American if your ancestors include those subject to slavery in the US?

Hey! React Native developer here.

What advantages do you think Capacitor has over React Native?
My experience and techniques have been remarkably similar, albeit on a smaller scale than Gergely. A few years ago I decided to start writing one post per month on any subject within tech/software development. I've missed that goal a couple of times but my average since then has still been ~1.4 posts per month.

I write about whatever is interesting to me and most often that's exploring topics in tech that were a mystery to me before like compilers, databases, etc. Like Gergely I keep an ever growing list of projects or topics that seem interesting to tackle at some point.

One book I'd recommend most to folks writing in tech (whether it's technical or not) is On Writing Well, which teaches you the same kinds of things Gergely uses Hemingway Editor for. That is, to be concise and precise.

I think the biggest benefit to writing consistently is that you improve as a writer and that you get to explore interesting topics. Even if you are doing coding projects to improve as a developer, it's a whole new level to start trying to explain that work in blog posts. It's easier in coding to get things right without understanding exactly how/why they worked. When you write to explain you have to actually dig into that how/why.

Some people say tech blogging is great for getting jobs but in my experience, of all the things that helped me get work, my blog didn't contribute much. But I'm just one data point. I say this so that you don't get discouraged if you don't suddenly unlock emails from hiring managers because you start writing more.
> So because one generation already got what it wanted, the following one is to be screwed?

But is it? There are plenty of cheap areas to buy houses. As a recent grad in the 90s I wanted to live in Manhattan. I searched for a few years but was never able to find anything I could afford. Was I screwed out of home ownership? For my then-dream of living in Manhattan, yes. But in absolute terms no. I gave up and moved to California which was then cheap and bought here. The bay area has now become manhattanized in cost, so it's tough for a recent grad today but there are cheap areas today just like California was the cheap area back then for me.
What's your point? (And how do you define the physical layer?)

The data transmitted over MIDI and USB MIDI is the same, it's not the problem. It's the same protocol.

The problem is that MIDI OUT on a MIDI controller supplies power, and USB midi out on a device DOES NOT, because it's a slave device.

This a physical layer problem no matter how you slice it.

Now go and read the question I asked again.

Not exactly what you are looking for, but I created a web interface for ALSA sequencer, which effectively makes any raspberry pi what you are looking for.

For old MIDI DIN you would need a MIDI adapter or use the raspberry pi serial ports and some circuitry. Can be powered by an USB powerbank for example.

https://github.com/davidmoreno/aseqrc

I also added to the mix rtpmidi (https://github.com/davidmoreno/rtpmidid), and USB MIDI gadget (https://github.com/davidmoreno/midiconfigfs) on the PI, so then I can use the pi itself from one or several computers via Ethernet and USB.

I wonder when AI researchers are going to learn some category theory: https://bartoszmilewski.com/2014/11/04/category-the-essence-....
The article fundamentally speaks to how industry standards led to a proliferation of synthesizers and collaboration within the music industry.

The Metaverse, coincidentally, is at nearly the same crossroads as MIDI in the early 1980's.

Each vendor built their own hardware and defined their own protocols. When Roland open sourced the MPU-401 chipset and gave away the MIDI specs, the industry blossomed.

Anyway, a lot to learn from MIDI... if Meta can similarly align an industry around basic hardware, APIs, and formats.
Unless your software is extremely specialized, 90% of users will and should probably find an alternative first before going the WINE route.

> Multi-thread/process

I thought so... Threads and processes are still in use. While yielding control on system calls is a great idea, it's a bit innacurate to say it's just like threads with none of the downsides. The upsides are missing too. Only the system calls are running in parallel here. The Ruby code remains single-threaded.

Still, much better than languages that lack schedulers where people are tricked into writing cooperatively scheduled code without even realizing it.
I’ve been feeling that too as I’ve been trying to do little bits of open source. Windows has a ton of little bugs that probably wouldn’t take much to fix, but the feedback goes into a black hole. I asked someone at Microsoft about it one time on GitHub, they said “that’s broken, but even if we started the work now and fixed it, you won’t see it for a year”. I get there’s good reasons for that sometimes, but other times things just don’t work right.
> "MPE works on that model; and connectors aside, any multitimbral device is MPE-compatible."

Technically that's not true. MPE adds a feature where you can dedicate a channel as a sort of "multicast" channel where any CC you send there affects all the other channels shared by the same instrument. If the synth doesn't support that it won't work. But it's possible to implement fallbacks that just do the multicast less efficiently from the controller.

I completely agree on USB though. It's awful that I can't just plug a USB controller into a USB synth.

(If there was going to be something to replace the old 5-pin DIN cables my vote would be for CAN-bus. It supports faster speeds, bidirectional communication, and can go pretty long distances.)
Western Washington University used it for intro CS classes until about 8 years ago. They switched to doing the professor's choice between Java and Python which most people seem to prefer now. Some of the professors do still use it for classes on concurrency and proofs.

I really appreciated the sort of errors the compiler gives you but remember struggling to find good beginner level documentation. I kept landing on more specification-style docs which were more confusing than helpful. Also diving straight into Java after Ada was a shock.
All good advice. But...

After teaching fullstack at a well-known university for a year and tutoring many students I feel that about 90% of them will never be competent entry-level programmers.

There will be much disappointment ahead for the thousands (and thousands) of people being steered towards coding instead of to some more appropriate job (of which, I recognize, many have left the country).
I see multiple entries where the price of the hay is listed as 0 but comments ask that callers inquire about the price - e.g. [1]. Is there some percentage of price that posters are charged by the exchange that they are trying to avoid, or is this because price changes in a complex way depending on quantity?
