Totally agree. The DAW space is depressingly neglected as FOSS and I can’t imagine why. 15 years ago I was certain there would one day be a FOSS DAW that had the same love put into it as Blender.

I like using peazip since it’s open source and includes 7-zip along with it

I still use this line stepping into a hot car in the Summer.

Or a classic:

#define true (rand() % 2)
#define false (rand() % 2)

You’re that ninja

I once worked in a program that allowed custom C# scripts to be written into it to add custom functionality. The way it worked under the hood however was that the code written in the text field would be stitched together into a longer file and the whole thing compiled and ran. The developers didn’t want people to have to write or understand boilerplate code like import statements or function declarations so the place you typed into was the body of a function and some UI was used to get the rest of the bits that would create generated code for everything else.

To add to that there was a section of global code where you could put code explicitly outside of functions if you knew what you were doing. This wouldn’t get code-generation-wrapped into a function, just at the top of the class. It did, however, only run and get runtime checking when one of the functions was ran. And since the program didn’t grasp that the global code error line number should be with respect to the global code block and not the function code block you could get errors on line -54 or whatever since the final generated file landed the global broken code 54 lines before the beginning of the function.

Not that any of this was told to the user. I only found out because early versions of the app wasn’t compiled with obfuscation so ILSpy let me see how they rigged the thing to work.

Error on line -54 will probably be what made me the most dumbstruck in all of development.

I’m surprised so few people have mentioned Thunder, which I use. Is there something keeping it from being more popular?

Officially supported versions of stuff I enjoy from mods, like more subclasses from Xanathar’s, a properly working werewolf model for Blood Hunter mod, or stuff from TCoE

Basically this Futurama bit. I knew this joke felt familiar.

ECMAScript spec says Math.random must be less than 1. I was about to stop there, but a thought occurred to me: could the multiply with a float make a number large enough to floor to a different value for large enough values? 🤔

I imagine it’d have to be a ridiculously large number to amount enough floating point imprecision to matter, if so.

The only in-game shops should be AWESOME shops.

The transparency may be my very favorite part of Lemmy. It’s almost feels like these people are invested in it’s success instead of it’s profit.

You guys had better quit it with all this amazing transparency or it’s going to completely ruin every other service for me. Seriously though amazing work and amazing communication.
