I've looked for them, but never really found anything. So there is a good analog "modelling" synth? I would be interested in that. I'm too cheap to buy something like Diva or a model of a modular synth, since it's not really useful in my kind of music, but if there's an open source one, it would be cool to play around with.
OSX 10.4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. Haven't touch.9 yet, since the driver for my audio interface won't work. I have projects with hundreds of voices (one note usually requires between 2 and 4 voices) and effects. And I've got just one Macbook Pro.
But indeed, if you want to run a DAW on Windows, you'll have to disable all the background processing. There are even computer builders that will deliver a machine with all tweaks applied. A virus scanner is a nasty piece of software, and when it start running on the audio file you're creating, there's nothing the DAW or the OS can do to prevent clicks&pops. Still, there are people out there that make music on Windows PCs and use them for other tasks too. If you want to know how, ask on kvraudio.com or vi-control.net.
But you can't offload the new sample libraries to dedicated hardware. That would be prohibitively expensive.
That is asolutely NOT true. I'm running OSX since 10.4 and I've never had problems with latency. A 7ms starvation period would mean that a buffer below 308 samples would cause pops (at 44.1kHz). Well, I run it at 128 or 256, and no clicks or pops (with the exception of East-West Play). People with more powerful machines run at 32 or 64 samples without problems. I've never heard about such problems from people with Windows machines either, although they require ASIO drivers.
Bugger. I modded you overrated, because Slashdot makes it look like you replied to another topic. I got suspicious and opened the parent, and then it made sense. But now I cannot remod you! Who took away that functionality? So, I'll just comment, which will remove my moderation from this thread (at least, that worked some time go). Not really ideal.
Which is precisely why it's forbidden (in San Diego) to use your phone as a route planner. And there is no advantage to "outlawing" the device's use: if you cannot use it, there's no need to wear it, and there's no way to tell for sure someone is actually using the device. So, it's just forbidden. Live with the pain.
Yeah, whatever. I'm English nor American, and I can reply in several languages you wouldn't understand, but I can accept there is a (global) lingua franca. It has been Greek, Latin, German, and French. It might even have been Aramic at some point and place. Now it's English.
The number 420 apparently means something in this context. From Wikipedia: "420, 4:20, or 4/20 (pronounced four-twenty) is a code-term used primarily in North America that refers to the consumption of cannabis and by extension, as a way to identify oneself with cannabis subculture or simply cannabis itself."
It's called utilitarianism, and it's the best way to guarantee a miserable life for the vast majority. People who advocate it, should be sent back to the 19th century and forced to live in an orphanage. Or they could read Dickens, and see the errors of their ways.
I think many will agree (and quite a few will disagree or defend it). But my comment was to point out that the comment wasn't necessarily racist per se. And that the Turkish law enforcement acts now seems to be a result of one faction gaining control over it, and using it to get the other one out of office.
Well, there is a point to "the islamists are taking over". It is a power struggle between Erdogan's party, which has a bit of an islamist agenda, and the Gülen movement, which is an islamist movement, whose goals are unclear. Turkey has always had a "deep state", mainly secular, Atatürk-oriented, which has done some ghastly things. And now either islamist movement is interfering there. It's not racism. It might be bigoted, but racism?
BTW, Turks are not brown people, although a few do have unpronounceable names.
Precisely that. I've checked some asm.js based applications, and they're just slow. The latest one I saw is a great one, but also underlines the point: it emulates classic MacOS in your browser, ResEdit and all. Really nice. But an i7 at 2.whatever GHz does not seem to be capable of properly simulating a 8MHz 68000, and that's just nonsense. Native emulators beat the crap out of that performance 15 years ago on a 100MHz G3.
Apart from that, Firefox' JS engine is several times slower than Google's V8. The emulator ran in both browsers are comparable speed. So I'd say that asm.js first has to overcome Firefox' sleuth, then speed up beyond that, and then we'll see again.
It's been many years since I've used wxWidgets (wxWindows it was called back then), but a) You don't need all that. You only need it when you want to have an about box, and a close command, etc. b) It's a bit boiler plate, since you do need to put that in your program time and time again, but it's very flexible, and it's not that much code if you consider it carefully. There is a function that sets up a window, one that attached menus to a window when you open it, and functions to act on menu selection. c) If it's too much manual labor, then there are GUI editors to get you started, if I'm not mistaken.
I've always liked wx, and I will consider using it again when the need arises for a native app.
You're right. I deleted my Google+ account, and consequently took down my YouTube "channel". I had one vid with 80,000 views, and some 50,000 more in a few others, but who gives a damn? I am sick and tired of all the greedy bastards that cannot take no for an answer.
Let them leech on the unwashed like the a 19th century industrial tycoon.
That's completely right, but this is even worse. This is not a random sample that can be drawn again and again, this is a fixed object and the independent variable in this case would be that we are all convinced that Einstein was more intelligent than the rest of us. That's methodologically quite unhealthy.
Second, the obsession with trying to explain everything from a single cause and from a single brain feature in particular has failed so often in the past. We don't even have a good definition of intelligence, we have studies that show the weirdest correlations between some IQ-test and brain sizes, so why should this particular feature be the sole responsible of Einstein's performance?
Really. Should I go all pompous and self-righteous, pointing out subtle errors and...?
I have no idea who Chris Kraft is, and I did want to know what SLS means. See, strangely enough, I am still slightly interested in what NASA does. I just don't care for all the names and abbreviations, because I don't follow it closely. But if NASA is making itself redundant, that's interesting. So taking the slight trouble of given the full name for SLS (or putting a link in, as it is now), does help.
This is hardly news. It has been going on for at least 20 years now, in all fields of science, at least where I live.
Up until the 70s, early 80s, universities had ample funding and a growing number of students, and could uptake quite a few of their grads to fulfill the needed associate professorships. Now, funding is down, the student population is more or less stabilized, and university councils prefer to have one or two professors managing and planning, while PhDs and postdocs teach and do the bulk of the research. When a PhD or a postdoc fails to apply for Yet Another Grant, (s)he has to go. When a postdoc gets enough grants, projects, etc., (s)he might get onto a tenure track. It also helps when the postdoc's supervising professor has a certain status.
Universities are like Napoleon: they don't want any general, they want the lucky ones.
Let's hope Wikipedia is accurate, but it says about the US: "By the early 1990s only two states still listed suicide as a crime, and these have since removed that classification." So that would be a no. And neither did the site promote physical harm or injury against any group or individual, or any act of cruelty to animals, at least, not on the pages I have seen.
The problem is that the output of investigative journalism quickly crosses over to all other news outlets, which makes it (in Henry B's view) not unique enough for buying. Prism, Syria, Egypt, drone killing, you name it, it came from paid news sources, but was freely available online within a day or two, so Henry doesn't think it's necessary to pay.
FYI: the US has actively tortured and killed people. Still does, for all we know. Waterboarding, Guantanamo bay, the secret detention centers, handing over people to ISI, and of course killing by drone. This kind of thing does NOT happen everywhere.

Someone actually managed to make an ATM run sofware from a USB stick and dispense money. That's one of the many things that's wrong with it.
