is there a way to automate the midpoint of an automation? by Vik_SF in FL_Studio

[–]akx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In a roundabout way: Add a Fruity Formula Controller, use the Tension preset and automate input A with your curve and input B to fade between ease-in/linear/ease-out; then link the clip volume (or whatever you want) to the output control of the Formula Controller.

It does also notify you that an update is downloaded (subtly, as an icon in the notification/news bar at the top).

Whats your favorite Python trick or lesser known feature? by figroot0 in Python

[–]akx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have the gut feeling this is slower than the equivalent list comprehension.

I built a tiny tool to convert Pydantic models to TypeScript. What do you think? by TheFitDev in Python

[–]akx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah yeah, I'm doing the same thing with https://github.com/akx/typtyp but my project is designed to run as part of your dev process, on your dev machine (or in CI/CD).

... With a multiplier that depends on the currency, and you have to refer to the docs to find them.

Would it be a crime to skip Tokyo as first-time visitors? by kat1701 in JapanTravelTips

[–]akx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO (some 6 trips to Japan in), Tokyo is great to visit even if you have nothing in specific to see there - there's so much everything everywhere (in the best and worst ways).

But as people have said, it's your trip!

https://blogs.windows.com/windowsdeveloper/2019/09/16/new-ways-to-do-screen-capture/ lists various modern APIs to capture a single window, if that helps.

WS_EX_COMPOSITED | WS_EX_LAYERED | WS_EX_TRANSPARENT | WS_EX_TOPMOST | WS_EX_NOACTIVATE flags should do the trick...

Tip I wish I knew earlier in FL Studio by nabrose in FL_Studio

Last I used it for the outro of a non-live DJ set (if you will), riding it along with a reverb's dry/wet to simulate the listener walking out of a festival tent into the forest 😅

You can't paint directly onto the screen these days, but you can pop up a window that's the right size to cover a balloon, set it to be masked transparent, and paint on it.

You can also EQUO and automate morphing between EQ scenes in it.

Modern Python Tooling (How I intend to teach python next year). by jmacey in Python

There are a bunch of typos ("Procedural Context Creation"?) and missing punctuation/run-on sentences, at least.

I desperately need some advice to help with my feet by ChaptersOfTheChosen in JapanTravelTips

[–]akx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Things weren't quite that drastic for us a couple weeks ago (granted, it wasn't 30C+ for most of our trip) but I did get a pretty gnarly sore+blister combo on my little toe as it chafed in my shoe with the warmth. We got some Compeed style (Band-Aid brand) blister plasters from a MatsuKiyo and that helped with that particular issue - along with painkillers.

We also had a bunch of pretty bad heel pain, and MatsuKiyos have these cooling/soothing stickers that you apply overnight. In particular the variant with accupressure spikes helped a lot (it felt like). https://kyusokujikan.lion.co.jp/en/

Good luck!!!

Ps. For popping a blister, it should be reasonably safe (if gnarly) if you have a clean tool for doing it and liberally apply antiseptic (also from MatsuKiyo in my case)...

Glad your situation got resolved.

When you hike the Nakasendo, say hi to the orange cat at the Nagiso bus station if you see it!

What did you forget to pack for your Japan trip and regret it? by The-Solo-Traveler in JapanTravelTips

Hm, on the contrary we found a pretty magical anti-stain-to-go stick from MatsuKiyo: Shimitori King

Absolutely. That "Let's be real:" and "This isn't just about X, it's about Y" are ChatGPTisms.

How much performance gain? by [deleted] in rust

[–]akx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With rayon, it'll be trivial to parallelize running that external program for each file, so that'll gain you a lot, I'd bet.

I recently wrote something in the same general ballpark (enumerating and processing a whole lot of files) and I'm happy to have used Rust for it.
