Herb’s talk on reflections in C++26 and it finally having the potential to become the lingua franca of languages definitely piqued my interest. So I guess that’ll be my next article. Bold claims, for sure. Especially for those on the more embedded side of the house

Update since it’s been so long: * Work has been insanely busy. Lots of good work done, but stress levels also went up * Been custom wiring my new FX rack. So much soldering… * Borked my left wrist pretty good, need to get it checked out * Hoping to use this as motivation to start my upcoming album

Me: *watching ZatsuTabi* She’s going to Matsushima?! WTF is even in Matsushima? Wife: 松島やああ松島や松島や… Me: God dammit, how could I forget about the haiku… Anyway, totally forgot about Basho. My bad! Travel propaganda is working well and making me want to visit the place 😅

I did the thing. Always told my wife that if I found one at a good price, I’d grab one. This thing fights me more than any other guitar, but that’s also part of its charm. Might tweak a few things, but anything I do will be 100% reversible. Was getting some killer tones with my JVM410H + EVH 4x12 😎

RIP Bill Atkinson. His contributions to the world of computers, especially GUI-related, were immense and undoubtedly shaped my entire career. HyperCard alone was such a major impact that it drove me to pursue a career in coding. Absolute legend

Nothing quite as satisfying as finally finding your stupid doorbell transformer after looking in the attic (both access areas), by the electrical panel, around wood beams in the basement, in the garage. Was hidden above my work desk in the basement attached to the side of a light box this whole time

This took forever...but it's done! It's really difficult trying to explain this stuff to a dev who might not have hands-on experience. It's complicated and heavily intertwined with many caveats. Then again, I guess that just describes OS development as a whole. tomice.github.io/posts/back-t...

With everything so “software driven” today in the guitar rack effects world, I’ve been looking at grabbing some classic units. Clean PCM81 by me that is super tempting. Lexicon being bought and gutted continues to be one of the greatest audio tragedies in the world. Void yet to be truly filled

Next blog post will be about the inner workings of the Yocto project whenever I manage to get to it. Figured it is better to start a cool little project first and then learn about the inner workings, rather than learn all the boring details up front.

Used to be that social media was bad for my mental health which is why I don’t post much anymore (and essentially abandoned the other platform). Now all media seems to be unbearable. 1445 days left to go… In other news, I am playing guitar a bit more, so that’s cool. 2025 release date still a go?

Lots of people buying new CPUs and GPUs, but they leave their ancient monitors alone. And yet, monitor tech is advancing insanely fast right now. Basically in a panel boom with major breakthroughs almost every year. QDEL and MicroLED right around the corner.

Just buttoned up my tutorial on how to make a DNS sinkhole (Pi-Hole) for a BeagleBone Black with Yocto: tomice.github.io/posts/creati... Probably only going to do a few more tutorials on this before I set it aside and work on other projects.

The more I dig into this, the more it’s obvious how broken some of the meta-ti layer is. I’m having to fix a lot of broken or incorrect code. Starting to see why there are so many people who struggle to use this layer in their projects.

Tom @hatsubai.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

Looks like there’s an issue with the ti-sgx-ddk-um user mode libs for the BBB. Post install script let can’t find rc.pvr and bombs. Adjusted the recipe and got a workaround for it to compile, but userland is still kinda borked. And of course, it’s after 1 am, and I’m gonna think about this all night

The fact that people need to resort to 3rd party utils to remove UAD plugins they don’t use in their DAW (or do this manually) is wild. As a Logic user, I really wish I didn’t have to install VST and AAX variants. Also wish it didn’t install plugins I don’t own. I get why, but it should be optional

Win 11 update went smoother than expected. No broken applications. Configured it to look like 10, so I barely notice much of a difference now. Not bad at all. Will need to test recording soon, but it seems like there’ll be basically no difference. Way less painful than 7 to 10 was

New PC setup. 9800X3D with my old RTX3080. Removed the custom loop and went back to an AIO due to GPU length issues. I’m also too lazy to maintain the loop as properly as I’d like. OCD issues. Slapped it together for now. Like every project in my life, it’s still a work in progress.
