I posted some pictures in the previous posts here, and the lens I used is a 400mm f/5.6 Canon EF lens which I bought in 2001. I realized this was one of the older things that I still have and use. Yesterday as I was walking outside on a cold day, I realized that the mittens I was wearing, which I've worn a lot the last 10 winters, are probably similar in age. Other than a couple of guitars, I don't think I have much else that old. Everything wears out or becomes obsolete¹. Boo.

[1] I also have my old Canon EOS-1 35mm camera. I haven't had the patience to use it in at least 15 years. And other lenses from the 2000-2001 era, which in recent memory I've only used for shooting video with the (newer) EOS-6D.

While I mostly program in C++, pretty much everything I write targets C++98 or C++03, and completely avoids the C++ standard template library.

I have no doubt that one can write exceptionally good and safe code using C++/STL, but it also appears to be incredibly easy to write very clean and safe C++/STL code that compiles without warnings or other notice into stupidly large, inefficient, memory-intensive machine code.

People new to C++ might write something that generates a list of strings:

  std::vector<std::string> list;

  // populate my list with strings, suppose this is in a loop
  std::string s = ...;
  list.push_back(s);

then later on decide to pass this list to a function:

  void dosomething(std::vector<std::string> list)
  {
    // does something
  }

...but nobody will tell them that each call of dosomething() will execute a std::string copy constructor for each item in the list, allocating (and subsequently freeing) memory for each string. There are just so many ways to get bitten here. Yes, I know, make list 'const &' etc, but it's very easy not to know that (or somewhat less easy but still possible to forget), and multiply this by 1,000 times (I know one person who was sufficiently burned by pre-increment vs post-increment having massive performance implications that they always use pre-increment in for loops, even if it's a basic type -- not that there's anything wrong with that, I guess post-increment is an odd thing to see as normal anyway)..

And we wonder why modern software generally sucks?

I could talk about things that were important in the world last year but I don't think I have anything terribly constructive to add, so instead I will post this:

At the end of 2021 I calculated some stats, but apparently I forgot to do anything for 2022. Here's 2023:

• Code: git commits from 2022's 6.73+dev1231 to 2023's 7.07+dev1229 for which I am the claimed author (excluding merges): 2,158 (down from 2,264 in 2021)
• Code: cumulative changes in repository (not just me, everything including Schwa and anything third-party): 1888 files changed, 108639 insertions(+), 80371 deletions(-) (also slightly less significant than 2021)
  
  
• Foot-based-transport (from Strava): here, with my acquisition of a herniated disc in May, I started walking a lot and paying attention to the total foot-based miles and not just running: 2,519 miles in 712 hours and 58 minutes, with 154,329 feet of climbing (and similar descent, I imagine). Running was 572 miles of it (100 hours or so). I enjoyed the walking. I walked a number of NYRR races in order to 9+1 qualify for the NY Marathon next year, and walked the NY Marathon in about 5:19. It's not quite the same experience as running it, but still really enjoyable and a challenge.
  
  
• Bicycling: I only strava'd 892 miles on a bike (since I ended up walking everywhere I could), though I missed some miles as I would often do Citibike shuffling on my walks, and wouldn't bother putting those in Strava (instead counting the walking portion of the shuffle). Still love my Casseroll Single. Got new wheels for it (the rims had suffered through enough braking with winter grit), and a front rack.
• Bicycling: I rejoined Citibike in order to earn Bike Angels points, I think it ended up being a couple thousand but they don't really make it easy to see it over time. My lifetime total is now 3,125. I suspect I started this year with closer to 1,200.
  
  
• Music played with others: 56 sessions (down from 62 in 2021), producing about 83 hours of music.
• Music recorded: 21 doodles. also 16 super8 sessions (which produce about 9 hours of youtube content). Both quite a bit lower than 2021. Hmph.

I guess the overall trend is that I'm slowing down! Something to think about...

I don't believe in ghosts.

I read Project Hail Mary a few weeks ago, and I enjoyed it at the time, and since then it's aged well in my brain.

Some months ago I read some article about how life could be defined as any system of patterns that reproduced itself, or something. The point of that article was about how life could exist anywhere there was energy, e.g. in the sun. If anybody knows what I'm talking about, post a link here...

I suppose that's the premise of Conway's Game of Life.

Anyway -- taking that reproducing pattern thing in mind. Could a house be haunted, with a chill? Maybe if it had the right combination of air currents, you could have a pattern where some cold breeze periodically exists, and creates cycles that would be unexplainable, could that be life? Maybe ghosts are these effective lifeforms that we don't comprehend. Nothing supernatural about them, just not water and carbon etc. And probably not self-aware...

Oh hi there, I guess it's been a while! REAPER v7 has launched. Right on.

I've spent some time on and off occasionally getting REAPER to run natively on Windows/arm64. There's practically no demand for such a thing, but the platform exists so it's worth thinking about. I read various reviews of some arm laptops that ran Windows and the real issue seemed to be lack of native software.

Anyway, in trying to finish these builds, I learned about something new in Windows 11/arm: the "arm64ec" ABI. This allows emulating x86_64 on native arm64 processes, with the ability for arm64 code to load/call x86_64 code without having to do any process bridging or anything like that. It's pretty much designed for DAWs, which need to load plug-ins in process for performance.

I posted a build of REAPER to our pre-release site which uses this. What cool is that there are a few libraries we ship with which we don't have ARM versions, but REAPER happily loads the x86_64 versions and they work! (one is libmp3lame.dll, haven't gotten around to making a native build of that.

The only real hiccups were porting the dynamic code generation of EEL2: symbols get a # prefix, there are a few registers you can't use, and you have to use VirtualAlloc2() to allocate code memory and tag it as being arm code rather than x86_64.

Not sure if this stuff will ever be worth releasing, but it's fun, and if you're interested you can play with it.

P.S. the new code signing requirement that the key needs to be stored in a hardware security module (e.g. Yubikey) is completely misguided. The Yubikey always wants you to enter the PIN, too. SMH. Additionally, if you remote desktop into a Windows 10 computer, you can't use the locally-installed HSM! So alas, I've installed TightVNC for the first time in more than a decade (not sure if that's a security win...).

Wanted to check my assumptions on C++ and the ability of modern compilers to optimize RAII (side note: I can never remember that abbreviation, always have to google it), so this morning I had a few moments of fun with godbolt:

extern int gv, bar();

template<class T> class saver {
  public:
  T save, *ptr;
  saver(T *p) : ptr(p) { save = *p; }
  ~saver() { *ptr = save; }
};

void foo_c() {
  int save = gv;
  gv = 1;
  bar();
  gv = save;
}

void foo_cxx() {
  saver<int> s(&gv);
  gv = 1;
  bar();
}

When compiled with -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-exceptions, would foo_c() and foo_cxx() differ meaningfully? Output (x86-64 gcc 4.7.4, newer gcc versions are all similar):

foo_c():
        push    rbx
        mov     ebx, DWORD PTR gv[rip]
        mov     DWORD PTR gv[rip], 1
        call    bar()
        mov     DWORD PTR gv[rip], ebx
        pop     rbx
        ret
foo_cxx():
        push    rbx
        mov     ebx, DWORD PTR gv[rip]
        mov     DWORD PTR gv[rip], 1
        call    bar()
        mov     DWORD PTR gv[rip], ebx
        pop     rbx
        ret

So yeah, the optimizer does perfectly.

Someone asked if I would post something about programming. I wish I had something interesting to offer. The best I can do is describe an area in our current work where there's a considerable productivity drain ("technical debt", I suppose).

We're still using Windows .rc files for dialog boxes. VC6 is my preferred dialog editor, but it has a limit of something like 32k or 64k controls in total for the entire .rc file, if you exceed that it crashes. We've long exceeded that, so now we pretty much edit .rc files by hand with lots of trial and error (I don't seem to be getting any better of adding/subtracting fixed values to the Nth column of a bunch of lines). We could temporarily trim the file, do the edits, then restore the rest, but meh. Or we could write a .rc file editor lol. At any rate it's completely inefficient.

On a more specific points related to that, adding options to REAPER's preferences takes far too much work. There's the manual .rc file editing, the juggling around of options in a fixed amount of space, moving things to other tabs, etc. It's stupid and a time suck. But there's no reasonable alternative without a ton of extra work. Some day, maybe.

So anyway, it's often the case where we want to add something simple, and a good half of the work is spent with UI nonsense. Yes yes we could move all of our preferences to a list of attributes and make it all generated from data and that would be great but that would be a huge project.

bonus:

People ask about making a mobile sequencer. The underlying core of a DAW would be the same, but doing the UI would require basically a separate implementation to be useable. I don't really want to maintain two DAWs. Also phones bleh (x 1000 -- the ecosystem, the lockeddownness, the lack of keyboard, the mercy of the OS, etc). :/

Working on a fun REAPER branch relating to keyboard shortcuts. I will allow some pretty sweet things, but it will also give people a lot of rope to hang themselves with. You can have a bunch of alternate main keyboard mapping sections (which also affect mousewheel mappings), so you can switch sections by action/toolbar/menu/whatever.

You can also engage a section momentarily by action, so you could: make Ctrl+F be "momentarily use the main section named "FX", then that section could just have a ton of mappings to particular FX: Ctrl+F followed by E for ReaEQ, Ctrl+F followed by C for ReaComp, etc.

What's also fun is that when they are momentarily engaged, they act globally... so if you are in a text field and do Ctrl+F, then the following E or C still work, or if you have the Ctrl+F as a global hotkey, then that momentary switch makes the E or C effectively global too, but only when following the Ctrl+F.

But -- if you accidentally run an action perma-switching to a section that has no keyboard mappings... well nothing will work until you switch back via the correct action in the actions window, or you restart reaper. Which is where the rope to hang yourself is.
