Now that RAM prices are expensive I can brag about the low memory usage of Ghost. Did you know Ghost only uses 20-30mb of RAM? It’s very well optimised. Other modern synths regularly use 200mb. Oh dear! Buy Ghost now for 25% off during the end of year sale

File pilot fixes simple things like allowing you to go "up one directory" from your Pictures folder to your user folder. Windows File explorer has had this wrong for at least a decade

Right now AI is dunking on the half the FOSS community, Google, and stack overflow

I’ve found when prompting it to write a few cross platform libraries, some of the code it spits out is shorter and more concise than any lib I could find on GitHub. By some metrics this means the code is better, but there’s usually still several problems that must be fixed

Updating my opinion on AI code for systems programming after 2 years. It’s not reliable enough to “vibe code” or yolo commit code, but it’s beginning to get quite good as an assistant when it comes to learning the Windows and macOS APIs and creating wrapper libraries.

The form factor also looks great. It could easily fit on a desk and is stackable with other things eg. a coffee mug (not recommended, but you get the idea). Pro/premium models with more CPU cores may exist in future too. It could make a great dev machine. I'm tired of Windows.

I hope the steam machine is a success. I can see a potential future where young people buy one to play games, then later figure out they can install Bitwig or Reaper on it for making music. More audio devs would port to Steam OS, and Windows would slide into irrelevancy #gabecube

This can make some really great sounds

Removing a retained mode widget is just as bad. First you remove it from a header, then all references to it, probably across several files and definitely in several functions. What a nightmare! This developer friction certainly stops many great ideas from being tested!
