This sounds great.

Maybe it could use a "modeline" (like Vim and Emacs) in the footer to display the "modes" you're in, as well as your current in-progress keyboard action combination (so user gets live feedback and not confused/stuck and have to ESC/cancel out of there).

Looks absolutely wonderful - thanks for sharing and I am jealous of both the views and the steak + eggs

Oh that will be such a nice addition!
Personally I love context-aware shortcuts etc - these things allow for a smooth workflow (provided one has laid out the scheme in a clever way), and the number of keys is limited. Wonderful feature, looking forward to its implementation/release! :)

that might be a nice default binding, yeah

Maybe I'm daft or too much of a noob here, but considering your last paragraph I'm asking myself if "Esc" would be a good way to - well - escape back to the default section? If there's such a thing as a default section, that is.

Neat! No more (or at least less) codegen from Python for me :D

Perfect, thank you very much.

1. I forget if that calculation was buried as code somewhere on the apple documentation site, or if it was just described. Block size is samples, srate is the samplerate in samples/second.

Hi,

Thank you SO MUCH for writing this up, saved me a lot of effort...

I put together a gist that describes how to do it, seeing as their documentation really sucks gist.github.com/cjappl/20fed4c5631...

I was running into the EINVAL thing, and nothing was helping besides this article.

I had a couple questions:

1. How did you discover the period/constraint/computation of the coreaudio thread? Do you have a source anywhere?
2. In your calculation, what do `blocksize` and `srate` refer to, and in what units?

Again, thank you so much. Really useful

yeah this is sik- parting the seas came to mind.

which? the sunsets or the waves? thinking these colours are incredible!

Thank you! The painting was actually the bottom or top 1/3 (I like the way it looks both ways! couldn't decide which was was up), then the middle third was stretched in gimp. Love Elliot Smith.

I really like this painting, reminds me of Minas Morgul rotated ccw 90degrees with a sprinkling of Nirvana Nevermind, naturally. Cosmic Background is sick, my favourite track. Do you like Elliott Smith? Your drumming style on a few tracks gives me XO vibes. (sorry for comparisons, or not)

some trek that has to be, a tip of the bridge, the peninsula in the back, great pic indeed!

sounds like urbit...

Yo follow being. Just letting you know other humans out here are aware of you and admire your brief moment in the cosmos. Keep kicking it, and when you're feeling down or having weird bursa pain, remember that out of nearly 8 billion human souls and countless trillion others,your unique sameness shines through the monotony. Shine bright and inspire, infinitesimal infinity.

Have you looked into Inrupt?

Something similar was attempted by the original Opera team. See

Pretty!

makes sense..but who else likes sense these days?? :D
too many cooks spoiled that old broth.
the current system is hijacked by overzealous absolutist,deterministic,reductionistic authoritarians. (?)
they wont have it,if it is not fully controllable. :/

Great pick!!
"Till The Next Orb....

Beautiful place, and thank you of Winamp.

Best Wishes from London

in one sitting? one pineapple, probably, but that would be too much

JUSTIN

hopw many pinesapples could you eat if someone cut th cut off the skins for you and made cubes

that’s a great talk. thank for sharing, i really enjoyed it

Thanks for sharing, this will certainly come in useful one at some point. BTW, Apple's (lack of) documentation if also one of my biggest frustrations.

Can see sort of a sideways angry face in the clouds too. Doesn't like being shushed!

looks like fun! but hmmm. is this not very revealing? the statue is saying what? shhh,be quiet? dont tell anyone?.. and am pretty sure saturn or jupiter would be beyond any low level clouds?.. heheheh.. great capture. good memories indeed.thanks4sharing this angle.

Thanks for all your hard work on Reaper. Great system !

lol yep- they ALWAYS fly around in them spheres of light.
No visible means of propulsion.. no wings,no tail,no rotars..standard aircraft stuff.
Look again.Listen to your hearts answer?
The phenomenon is quite real.It is a global thing. :D

definitely a UFO! probably commercial air traffic but definitely unidentified ;)

oooo- looks like you caught a ufo there!? (far right 500% zoom!)

I was just reminiscing about the good old win amp days as I see Spotify implementing some graphical frills that reminded me of some of the win amp interface. Anyway, I went down a win amp rabbit hole and started reading about your projects and your life. You truly were ahead of your time.. Thank you for all you have done for the digital community, music has always been an important part of my life, and you shaped my love of it on the computer.

I haven't tested Waves on the M1, but x86_64 plug-ins that use SSE rather than x87 all seem to be quite fast. And I think all sane plug-ins should use SSE on x86_64.

Wondering if your use of intel VSTs includes any Waves v12 VST3s, which is what I mostly use. I'm using a 2012 Intel Mini, and have been considering upgrading to an M1 Mini, but my concern has been that since Reaper and my plugins will be emulated for a while, performance might tank. It's actually quite good now on this old hardware, even though I'm using a 4k display and am running Catalina.

I recently acquired a MacMini M1, which blows me away on so many levels but of course I was worried that my elaborate, reaper centric workflow might not work for a few months but quite the contrary - everything, including intel vsts runs silky smooth so far. Huge thank you for being on top of this!

Hi Justin, take care and it'll get better!

hah! still using gnu libc etc, but iirc busybox and replaced /bin/init with a shell script :)

>Jesusonic/linux

Reads like you have a complete Linux userspace written in JS to replace GNU. That would be hilarious, but I wouldn't be surprised.

Thanks Martin, that's pretty consistent with my understanding (and what my Chiropractor has said)... the Orthopedist seemed less interested in that, though.

There is a youtube channel about stretching excercises to combat pains caused by monotone movements or postures. Their theory is that fascia tissue foreshortens from excercise and that leads to excessive pressure on the joints, which causes the pain. So where you talk about strengthening certain muscles, they'd recommend stretching the opposing muscles instead. Search on youtube for "Liebscher & Bracht – The Pain Specialists" to find their channel. The TL;DR version is: stretch the muscles you use most during running every day, and hold each stretch for at least 90 seconds, then ease out of it very slowly. It's supposed to hurt a little bit, but not so much that you couldn't smile anymore while doing it. I've had great results from this with fixing tendonitis in my arm and reducing some thumb joint pain. Maybe it can help you too? If it works, it should feel better fairly quickly, but of course your mileage may vary. And especially since you have prior injuries, maybe check in with your orthopedist first.
Good luck and get well soon!

Sorry to hear about that, I wish you well. What I learned from my own experience is that a middle aged man should probably exercise in moderation or to put it otherwise in accordance to his own strength probably never in excess. As the ancient Greek saying goes ``Pan metron ariston'' (Everything in moderation).

heh thanks... I think it'll all be OK, just the challenges of aging...

Ah don't read, right... Anyway, I'm sorry to hear about your knee, and I hope it will get better in time. And else I guess you can always reconsider surgery sometime in the future.

Just be careful db.. I started running like a madman in 2013 or so, was able to do 4 miles a day, now I have no cartilage in the right knee. Take it easy, space out a day between runs to let your body recharge.

and so- the edges meet the middle! your next test is to do it blindfolded!!
(i really like the mountains part...but meh the rest tbh!! when people have the ability of photo realism this particular style falters in comparison imo) although it is still rather attractive in some ways.
the forgotten arts..the lost arts..the divine artist. ;)
Puzzles are interesting..they engage the senses in a rather poetic way..because when the puzzle is completed,the arranger must seek a new piece to "finish"..onward and upwards,dear justin.
Be well.

Nice.

EASY! Just a Jigsaw Falling Into Place, no?

Hah, I did something similar just a few days ago, and got myself an X61 (I had the X60 too back in the days, but the X61 has guaranteed 64bit CPU, so no hassle on ebay).

I also have a minimal Linux and REAPER on it, and use it for JSFX as a live vocals effects kit. So far it's great. I would have loooved to use the ncurses-based JSFX standalone, just for the visual aestethics onscreen. But alright, I'll take all the features of REAPER in exchange for not being able to show of my inner Hackerman. ;)
