Hey all,
I thought I'd spread the word about Open Source Design [1], which is a
community of designers and developers that wants to improve usability of
free software (never mind the name, I guess most people are not as
strict about it as e.g. Richard Stallman ;-) ).
A friend (hey Sam!) made me aware of this recently and I think the
community can be a great opportunity to either learn about design or
find someone to help your project get a facelift (or a logo, or
whatever). This can be done by posting a request for a "job" (paid or
unpaid) [2] on their site.
Maybe it's of help to anyone here.
Best,
David

Hi folks,
At the risk of igniting a flame war, if one were to develop softsynth
plugins for Linux, what would be the "framework" of choice these days?
Back in the day I wrote some using DSSI, which was a model I was pretty
comfortable with. I had a look at LV2 but couldn't work out how to
generate the huge incomprehensible non-human-readable "ttl" files.
Where does the world stand now?

While testing some mixed floating point and integer calculations I found a
quite surprising difference when this compiler option was set (gcc 6.x). It was
clearly different at only 100 iterations and got dramatically worse with
larger counts.
My test routine was this:
int a = 0;
float b = 0;
float c = 0;
float inc = 0.1f;
float dec = 0.05f;
int it = 100;
for (int i = 0; i < it; ++ i)
{
a = (int)truncf(b);
c = b - floorf(b);
b += inc;
a = (int)truncf(b);
c = b - floorf(b);
b -= dec;
}
cout << "int " << a << " rem " << c << endl;
My suspicion is that the difference is due to accumulated rounding errors.
Curiously without the decrements the behavior with and without -ffast-math
seems to be identical well into the millions.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
Linux Audio Music has been dormant for a very long time, but recently I
contacted the the person who hosted and ran it.
The reason he closed it was because of a serious vulnerability was discovered in
Rails, and he no longer had time to do the necessary upgrades.
However, he has told me that he still has the entire database and the code. In
his own words:
"... would be happy to host and do what I can to facilitate a handoff to
someone else who wants to manage it."
For anyone who doesn't know, this was a relatively simple and clean site aimed
specifically at providing a home for tracks composed with Linux - something
rather rare!

I'm seeing 'can't retrieve the current commit' on several quite different
projects.
Anyone else seeing this?

Hi all.
Next meeting at c-base is on Tuesday 2018-11-06 at 20:00.
To avoid cross-posting too much on the mailing lists I'd like the
follow-up discussion to happen in the thread to the invitation mail I
sent to the linux-audio-user list.
Cheers

Hello list,
I recently tried out petri-foo and I like it enough to care about it in
the form of bug reports.
I don't know how to contact the developers though.
The website http://petri-foo.sourceforge.net/ says last release 2012,
the github repository is switched to read-only.
Did I miss the active development place somehow? Fork of a fork?
