It's been a year since many VSTs based on JUCE8 stopped working on Linux due to nonstandard handling of Wine inside JUCE. Now the patch was merged, so hopefully we will see plugins coming back soon!

it doesn't repeat at least:

> More generally, the sequence is cube-free, i.e., has no substring of the form w w w with w some nonempty finite string.

Is it a coincidence that it is number 2 in the OEIS?)

I love how windows-linux discussion is populated by DAW/VST incompatibility. I'm still new to the industry, and therefore also open minded about daw/plugins.

I actually had good experience with setting up yabridge, it could have worked for me I think. But the elephant in the room is that many big commercial plugins use JUCE as a framework, and the recent release of JUCE (JUCE8) just broke compatibility with wine and seem to be sabotaging wine-based usage completely, and are not considering going back at the moment.

There are patches based on binary diffs to JUCE7, but it is just so much pain to simply run the commonest plugins in the field :/

So I'm now kind of stuck between using windows with commercial plugins or use linux with mainly smaller scale alternatives (although there are good ones: lsp, decent sampler, cardinal, surge)

I'd prefer one digest of essential highlights of the week across all segments.

I like to be interested in "other segments". But if they are in a separate subscription/email - I will never prioritize to open it.

Thank you!

New comment by vindex10 in "Uv is the best thing to happen to the Python ecosystem in a decade"

vindex10 — Thu, 30 Oct 2025 09:33:37 +0000

some packages that I use for development need to be part of the virtual env. for example ipdb.

so i do uv pip install ipdb.

but then, after uv add somepackage

uv sync happens and cleans up all extras. to keep extras, you need to run uv sync --inexact. But there is no env var for `--inexact`, so I end up doing the sync manually.

I would also add UV_NO_SYNC as smth I had to learn. It comes in combination with uv pip

New comment by vindex10 in "Should LLMs just treat text content as an image?"

vindex10 — Mon, 27 Oct 2025 11:36:42 +0000

reminds me of the difference between fasttext and word2vec.

fasttext can learn words it haven't seen before by combining words from ngrams, word2vec can learn better meaning of the whole words, but then missing out on the "unknown words".

image tokens are "text2vec" here, while text tokens are a proxy towards building a text embedding of even unseen before texts.

If multiple services have multiple owners it becomes also a question of trust. You either validate one service that fits 80% of your requirements, or validate ten services where each solves one specific requirement.

Also, of course - economy of scale for the infrastructure / integrations between features. Monoliths are still a thing.

But yeah, I agree developer experience may be traded here.

It's not only docker. ssh forward port forwarding also by default binds to 0.0.0.0, if `` is missing.

New comment by vindex10 in "The Asus gaming laptop ACPI firmware bug"

vindex10 — Wed, 17 Sep 2025 19:02:18 +0000

I will just share my struggles with Asus Tuf A15 (FA507UI) bought in March 2024. It was really frustrating, and I spent so many hours debugging. Unfortunately I wasn't as skilled to decompile dsdt/acpi, but all these keywords look familiar from my deep dives into the issue.

In the beginning I had sticky keyboard issue, with a button repeatedly triggered for no reason. This got fixed after one of the bios updates.

Later, for a while I had the stuttering issue when the GPU was in standby (when loaded in hybrid mode) [1]. I then switched from PopOS to Manjaro with a hope that newer kernel might fix it, and it did.

Today I'm struggling with a new issue - GPU sometimes gets disconnected, and requires system reboot to turn it on again. I generally use GPU for compute, not for graphics - so you don't see it until you do. New Nvidia drivers might have fixed this [2].
