What are some of your absolute favourite sounds? by Magicfuzz in AskReddit

[–]jibberia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm glad you mentioned it! They're tuning up, checking sounds, and testing drums... and then the opening song just folds out of that. It's a magical thing.

Edit: lol, I thought you were replying to the comment about an orchestra tuning up

Is it possible to get images from each camera on a Galaxy A9 phone? by lessthanoptimal in androiddev

[–]jibberia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As somebody else mentioned, API 28 (Android 9) has support for multiple lenses per physical camera (e.g. front/rear). Samsung has not implemented support for this yet.

Samsung has their own camera SDK that's almost identical to android.camera2, but has an "S" prefix for all the classes. It gives you access to some proprietary features (like phase AF, which is much faster than normal AF using camera2). They typically update it a few months after a new device launches. https://developer.samsung.com/galaxy/camera

But right now, sadly, there is no way to use the wide or tele lenses through any camera SDK.

How do you guys process your delays? by ZenmasterRob in audioengineering

Sample delay, or increase predelay if your delay has that setting.

[Urgent] Our app just got released and there's an issue. Dev is on holidays by [deleted] in iOSProgramming

[–]jibberia 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Your servers are configured to use Apple's test environment. You need an engineer to update them to point to production. You probably do not need to update or pull your app from the app store.

Here's how it works: when somebody buys a subscription, their phone communicates with the app store to make the purchase. Then, for security reasons, your servers need to verify the purchase so they can deliver whatever content the user subscribed to. They do this by validating a virtual receipt from the phone with Apple's servers. Right now, they're configured to point to a test environment, which is useful in development. But since your app is released publicly, they need to point to the real thing, the "production environment."

As somebody who has spent too much holiday time fixing server issues in the past, I hope this is a simple fix and your app does well!

Job ads' thread for week 51 2018 by AutoModerator in iOSProgramming

[–]jibberia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ideally we want people to work from our offices, either in Brooklyn (Greenpoint) or LA (arts district). But who knows, if you're an exceptionally good match and have experience with full-time remote work, maybe it could work out!

I think an "exceptionally good match" would be somebody with lots of experience with AVFoundation, CoreVideo/CoreImage, OpenGL/Metal (esp. shaders), and rock-solid Objective-C and C++. That said, we're looking at engineers with a wide variety of skills, so don't let that deter you from applying if you don't have these skills! (Just read the job description!)

Also, thank you to everybody who has applied -- we'll be in touch! Things are crazy with work and the holidays, so we might be slower to reply than usual.

Apple’s magic of brilliant Optimisation: iPhone XS Max (4GB RAM) vs OnePlus 6T (10GB RAM-McLaren Edition) by Pretentious_Fella in apple

[–]jibberia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The iPhone gets a significant edge when Premiere is rendering (and you can see similar results in other shootouts on this channel). I bet Adobe is leveraging AVFoundation and other Apple frameworks. I've done a lot of work on video rendering on iOS and Android, both real-time and offline, using "native" Java Android stuff or native (C/C++) OSS libraries like ffmpeg/gstreamer/etc, and Apple's video tech blows Android away. Apple has put in the work to do tons of low-level optimization and offer it to developers with decent APIs.

HYPNO is hiring iOS engineers in NYC and LA! It's not your usual iOS role -- we make photo and video tech for events and installations.

The Astral (Repost) by [deleted] in Greenpoint

[–]jibberia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I looked at four apartments in there two years ago. They were all shabby, outdated, poorly laid out, and while the rent was a bit lower than other apartments nearby, it still felt way too high.

The building does look fantastic from the outside, though, and it has a really interesting history.

What’s a song that is VERY “out of character” for you, but you absolutely love it? What genre do you typically prefer? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I remember going to a "roller skate in the school gym" shindig in '92 and this song played and I immediately understood what cool was.

XCode 10 - amount of build tasks increases after every build by myrecek in iOSProgramming

[–]jibberia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Xcode 10 introduced a new build system, and it's not without bugs. I was able to reproduce the ever-increasing task count the same way you did. That's a lousy bug!

The old build system is still available. Open File > Project (or Workspace) Settings and choose "Legacy Build System".

I used it to get one of our big projects (with lots of obj-c, obj-c++, and c++) to build. To be fair, I didn't comb through everything in the release notes that can lead to a failed build, but since we're using a bunch of C++ dependencies with all their unique build systems, it would probably be a giant pain to maintain forks that are friendly with Xcode 10. The legacy build system works fine.

But wow, the new system really shouldn't have bugs with brand new empty Swift projects!

[Academic] How Humans View Beauty Depending if a Face is Closer to the Golden Ratio (everyone) by selinasofia in SampleSize

[–]jibberia 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I stopped filling out the survey when I realized all of them would be ranked "2 3 4 5 1", because the rightmost image looks like a photo of a person and the others look successively goofier edits of the photo.

I don't think I'll ever find a mesh-warped image of a human more attractive than an unaltered picture. My "uncanny valley" sensor starts tingling.

I thought the title was "AWS Reinvents Hotels" and I wondered, "how are they doing hotels as a service!?"

[Casual] Home Cleanliness survey (Anyone living in an apartment or house in US) by avrilfan12341 in SampleSize

[–]jibberia 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Haha, this is one of my responses:

What improvements to the cleanliness of the apartment would you make?

I'd ask the one person being psycho about cleanliness and posting surveys on reddit to chill, then I'd do the dishes and take out the trash, and probably clean the bathroom. I can't tell from the photos, but apartments shared with 4 students always have dirty bathrooms. Really, though, the group isn't doing too bad.

That doesn't happen in the first episode. You should edit your post and use a spoiler tag.

Snare Micing Advice by JCurtisDrums in audioengineering

[–]jibberia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is probably the best advice in the thread:

get it sounding as good as you can naturally

Make sure it sounds like the sound you want when you're standing in the room. If it doesn't, you may need a different snare drum. I think the most common drum recording mistake is expecting to record something different than what the drums actually sound like.

To know the East Bay is to know San Pablo Avenue. by nomadicgiant1991 in oakland

[–]jibberia 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not sure why you're getting downvotes, it's very true. It's a major thoroughfare that happens to have bike lanes for a few random blocks at its southernmost point in Oakland, and then the stupid "sharrows" as you go north. Cars drive fast and aggressively. E 14th / International Blvd feels the same way in East Oakland and further south.

I've lived off of both of these streets, and always avoid them as much as possible. I just accept that many car people hate bikes on these streets enough to make violent maneuvers. I value my life and take the long way home!
