The ADC 2024 conference wrapped up a couple of weeks ago, and I wanted to share my thoughts. The conference was a highly informative and engaging event that brought together experts in the field of audio development. It featured a range of sessions, workshops, and networking opportunities that provided valuable insights into the latest trends and technologies in audio development.

It looks like the most recent versions of CalChart that I’ve been producing have a problem that when you open them you get popup that says:

I was hitting an issue when hitting a breakpoint in Visual Studio Code, the debugger would freeze and I’d see a process like lldb-mi going out of control. This post on stack overflow was incredibly helpful in pointing out that I was using the wrong debugger.

I’ve been looking into building std::ranges::enumerate by hand. I’ve been using Chat GPT for assistance with this, and the results are impressive, but also a great learning experience. Let me illustrate.

I was looking to see what version of macOS was available on github actions.

I’m looking to incorporate ranges into more of my projects. This article from Nathan Reed is excellent overview.

I’ve been interested for a while in “modernizing” CalChart so that it works in the browser instead of being a native app. There’s been some attempts at this in the past, like the CalChart Resign, but these have been attempts to fully re-write CalChart.

I’m attempting to use Ranges in my projects that build across platforms, but Xcode support for ranges landed in 13.4.1. The default stable version of Xcode in Github actions is older than that.

This is an excellent resource on [Semantic Versioning[(https://semver.org). It explains clearly API versioning.

On November 12 I left for England to attend the Audio Developers Conference that was taking place in the London. ADC is the conference to attend if you are into Computers and Audio. As they state on their website: “ADC is an annual event celebrating all audio development technologies, from music applications and game audio to audio processing and embedded systems.”

I love wxWidgets. I love what it stands for, an open source project that is done by people who care about it. I love it’s ruggedness. I love it’s tenancity to stay around. I love it’s unapologic existence as a C++ library.

The first CppNorth conference finished and I wanted to jot down my notes about the event.

Years ago I used to be in the habit of going to the Borders in Palo Alto and thumb through the Programming Guides, and eyeing the 1 or 2 shelf on C++ programming. Most books were the “Teach yourself C++ in 21 days” type books, but once in a while you’d find a real gem like Scott Meyer’s “Effective C++”. I remember buying that book and completely changing the way I programmed after reading it.

Last time I was looking to create a Submodule of

I work on CalChart, the Show Charting software for the University of California Marching Band. The project is written in C++ and uses CMake to build. There’s a couple of libraries used to build the final executable.

This morning I spent time just sitting and reading about CMake. A lot of this infomration is well known and probably obvious to anybody who’s been dealing with CMake, but hey, we all gotta start from somewhere, right?

I’m back trying to blogging again. I realized I’ve forgotten everything about GitHub Pages.

Last night I was thinking about how to do text processing better. At work we constantly need to look through logs. I frequently would like to high information I don’t need and only show what’s relavent. However, I also keep reaching for less, which is a good tool, but getting a little long in the tooth. I was starting to think of a tool that could be like less but could high and show information. Of course, like any computer hacker, instead of looking for one I started to think about writing one. This lead me to scour the web for information about text processing.

At C++Now 2018 I was chatting with folks about how to construct a blog, and I was pointed to “Jekyll Now”, a way to set up a blogging platform with github. It looks both fun and easy to use!
