Flex247A··on Boring Python: Code quality
If you feel that Anaconda is too heavy, try Miniconda [0]. The base environment is a standard Python 3.9 environment without any additional packages.

I think he meant 'clearer'.

Lightworks has a perpetual free licence mode too, provided you have to login every 90 days.
Flex247A··on Elementary OS 6 Odin
You get used to the dock real quick.

Or just install Elementary Tweaks.

Flex247A··on Elementary OS 6 Odin
Elementary is really great. I have to admit that no other OS (other than alpine/void/arch) can run smoothly on my Intel Atom N450 netbook.
Flex247A··on Elementary OS 6 Odin
But overall, it's much smoother in Pantheon than in Gnome 40.

2 years in the making. Been waiting for this since last year!
Flex247A··on Incident with GitHub Actions, API Requests, Git Operations, Issues and more
I was getting server 500 error while forking godotengine/godot when my internet cut off. I thought it was an issue from my side.

That's beautiful, thank you :)
Flex247A··on CudaText: Cross-platform code editor
In my experience, CudaText starts up slightly faster.
Flex247A··on C++ Dev Ecosystem 2021
Even Sublime Text 4 is pretty good, if you install the LSP plugin.
Flex247A··on A Plea for Lean Software (1995) [pdf]
I mean, some software can really get rid of bloatware without losing much functionality. For example: The AMD Adrenalin driver takes about 1GB of disk space and comes bundled with a browser. The control panel takes forever to start, even on a laptop with NVME SSD. This is why I have switched to installing drivers through Windows Settings.
Flex247A··on Ask HN: What Are You Learning?
His previous blog on Unix Audio Systems cleared up a few concepts I had in mind.

BTW I use Fedora 34, and PipeWire works flawlessly for screen-sharing and Bluetooth audio :^)

Flex247A··on Ask HN: What Are You Learning?
I am learning how the audio stacks in Windows and Linux work. I plan to create a simple library to play sound on both platforms (like RTAudio/PortAudio but simpler).

I am using C/C++ to program the library while learning essential concepts.

Flex247A··on Keep Your Identity Small (2009)
I actually verified the sources myself when somebody replied to the false comments.
Flex247A··on Keep Your Identity Small (2009)
I reached a similar conclusion after lurking on subreddits of opposite political leaning. I favored the views of one subreddit over another (naturally). Over time, I found that I was blindly believing the comments in my favored subreddit over the other one, only to find that the comments were false or citing unreliable sources. I saw this happen several times, until I stopped lurking on both of the subreddits. I guess it's better to keep your identity small ...

Flex247A··on Replacements for existing software written in Rust
The way pacman installs new kernels by default is just replacing the old package with the new one. This is bad because if for some reason the new kernel package gets corrupted, the system will fail to boot, and you will have to arch-chroot into the system to install the kernel again. Fedora on the other hand keeps old kernels for some time before removing them.

Flex247A··on Ask HN: How to get started with audio programming?
Have you tried GNU Octave? It seems to be a replacement for MATLAB.

If you don't mind, what music software did you start writing?
Flex247A··on Ask HN: How to get started with audio programming?
I am building one currently :)
Flex247A··on Ask HN: How to get started with audio programming?
Thank you! Looks like I might have to embrace C++ after all ;)
Flex247A··on Ask HN: How to get started with audio programming?
Thank you so much for your detailed comment! I am mostly interested in writing professional audio code, so I am learning C++ at the moment. Also, do you think Rust is a good alternative to C++ for writing high performance code? I am thinking of learning Rust too, but I am not sure whether Rust audio programming is popular or not.
Flex247A··on Ask HN: How to get started with audio programming?
Thank you so much!
Flex247A··on Ask HN: How to get started with audio programming?
Reading 'The Audio Programming Book' also clarified the concept of OOP for me. There was a small section where function pointers in C structs was discussed. Just after that, there was a section on struct classes in C++ which made it clear why data members should be grouped with their related functions.
