@PierreTerdiman The problem is that an avg software has too many links to be visualized as lines (spaghetti), so they need to be computationally dependend on the context, active nodes, layers, preferences etc. to look like nice Italian pasta. Still haven't seen a software do italian pasta well.

Visual node programming literally looks like spaghetti code to me.

@DavidGhitulescu Same, maybe intuition / intuitive thinking is a better word than abstract thoughts Sometimes I rush to move thoughts/concepts into intuition because they feel fast and nice, but developing the wrong intuition too quickly can be dangerous

Do you have an inner monologue? If so can you turn it off when you code? Or do you think in abstract thoughts or visions/images/colors and what is that like when coding?

@zack_overflow I'm glad there's someone else who runs a compressor on the master bus :)) The dynamic range on some content is insane! and that's without even taking account of the equal loudness curve

@Tantacrul * auto actions (when this do this, IFTTT style), * (parameter) links(link this to that via this relationship) * macros (attract the mouse/keyboard power users) but all these are instances of automation, you can't avoid the word completely, just change specific buttons

I should also clarify: I'm talking about automation of effects parameters / volume / panning, etc. I'm not talking about something like a wizard or shortcut tool. (Having to clarify this is one reason I don't want to use the term!)

I want to crowdsource a design problem we have on Audacity: We want to build 'automation' in a way that is intuitive for those with no experience of it. One problem is the term 'automation' itself. Can you think of a name that seems less scary & more comprehensible?

@PascalPixel @codexeditor It'd be cool to see a notes-style browser(links to tabs, tags, live web page snippets, tabs/sessions stored in files etc.), I'd totally use it! I have most things you said working(except back=parent), but I'd love it to be more knowledge-base oriented.

@DavidGhitulescu @codexeditor Removal of the top chrome for a cleaner look, links always open a sub-page, allowing for hiding the URL bar and back button (back is just 'one page up'), quitting and re-opening always loads the same pages (aka opinionated settings); it feels more permanent like a Notes app 🐘

The browser for research I'm building, Horse, is now alpha! 🐎 Horse turns *how* your browse; clicking links and going deeper and deeper on topics, into a logical sidebar. 🧐 Instead of having a flat list of tabs where you don't remember how or why you opened them. 😵‍💫

@lisyarus Don't forget about the peaks between samples, those may be your glitches

Trying to implement an audio compressor (smoothly prevent the audio from exceeding the -1..1 range) based on my very limited knowledge of how it should work & what I've seen in other people's code. It almost works, by there are still glitches & it seems to break over time :D

@Rainmaker1973 These waterways look so much like a crazy contraption sequence with the some bridges rotated, others elevated and some casually going vertical like a tollbooth.

In 2013 a special water transport traveled from Rotterdam to Amsterdam. A timelapse camera took 30.000 photos every 3 seconds, resulting in a unique and stunning view of the old Dutch waterways, in 4K [source, full video: buff.ly/3fW0ULJ]

@SebAaltonen The unreasonable effectiveness of printf debugging * support for all language and development environments * concurrency support * distributed repros, preserved logs * avoid trying to catch low-probability events interactively * unlike conditional breakpoints, works in practice

You like printf debugging? Introducing a tool called the Debugger. It automatically adds printf debug for every variable in your code base and collects that info into a nice UI. You can pause the execution, continue it and step one line at a time to see your execution flow.

Combined tablet + trackpad on a Mac is tricky. HID drivers treat both as a mouse, so they fight over the pointer. Solution: uninstall Wacom driver, reverse engineer it, write my own. Empty circle = pen hovering, scaled by distance; filled circle = pen down, scaled by pressure.

@girba And the explanations are not usually satisfactory because of the different goals: solve my problem vs understand the system It's like trying to add 1+1 and instead hear about integers, rings, commutativity and peano axioms

@girba In my experience, a median person uses software to fix a problem. They explore the implementation only when the fix depends on leaky abstractions. It usually ends with copy paste/bruteforce some cryptic lower level options until the fix is working.

As a non technical person, do you ever want to know how the software system is implemented? And if you do, do the technical people around you explain the system satisfactorily?
