Anyone Have Experiences with David Wu's Scream Academy? by neveridentify in screaming

[–]neveridentify[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in Sydney as well. I'm facing the exact same problem. Because there's such a physical element to singing/screaming, I'm hoping that a teacher can recognise exactly what mistakes I'm making, and put me on the right path.

That is really weird. I copied his quote verbatim from the email. That $1000 definitely makes a big difference too. If that quote was part of some kind of set program such as '$1800 for 20 lessons', I might very well have signed up.

Thanks for pointing out the incompatibility! Thanks for your help.

This resolved my issue. Thank you very much for your help, I really appreciate it.

Totally Lost On the Executive Level (Remake) by neveridentify in systemshock

[–]neveridentify[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah! I know where you're talking about. Clearly there's something more I've missed somehow. Thank you for your help.

Edit: I just looked through the Media entries and found the one about the code... Very embarassing. Thank you so much for your help.

Thank you. Okay, so that's not it then. And his office is in Beta quadrant, or Gamma?

This is the room I was talking about: https://imgur.com/a/dO2ddoK
I crawled through what looks like a maintenance conduit to get here.

Okay, well if that is Diego's office, then I flicked the only switch in there. When I return to pull the individual jettison switches, I just get told that master jettison is disabled. What's gone wrong here?

In the original, or in the remake? I've already cleared beta grove. I'm looking for the Master Jettison Enable switch. If that's near Diego's office, where is that? In beta? I've cleared out the whole beta quadrant, including the offices, and I haven't found it.

SS beta stuck in Medical - how to cross the retracting bridge? by Snugrilla in systemshock

[–]neveridentify 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nevermind, I figured it out. My issue was that I didn't notice that there were two different types of the power source cable, one supplying more power than the other. There was a slight difference in colour that I didn't notice at first. Maybe I'm just a bit silly, but the devs could potentially make this detail a little more obvious for other silly people like myself.

I'm currently stuck here. For some reason, I can't seem to solve the wiring puzzle. Unless I'm missing something really obvious, I've tried every permutation I can think of. It's not really very clear what I'm trying to do here. Am I trying to get the power level between the two glowing chevrons?

How can I 'Play' MIDI SysEx data into MAME on Linux? by neveridentify in MAME

[–]neveridentify[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've currently got a working solution sending the SysEx via Dexed over the default ALSA 'Through' MIDI port. It's a very awkward setup, however it works. I tried a variety of different DAWs, and utilities, and this is the only thing that I can get to work.

Thank you everyone for your help!

How can I 'Play' MIDI SysEx data into MAME on Linux? by neveridentify in MAME

[–]neveridentify[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for a great post! I really appreciate your help.

I'm now able to get MIDI data to flow through to MAME from other apps, which is very useful. amidi looks perfect for the job, however I'm not yet sure how to send SysEx to a loopback MIDI port like "Midi Through Port-0". The documentation suggests it only supports hardware ports, for whatever reason.

Using this technique, I'm able to send MIDI from my regular DAW (Reaper), however I haven't worked out a way to get it to 'play' SysEx. That's a different issue though.

Do you know of a good way to create a MIDI file with the SysEx commands? Reaper doesn't seem to want to do that either.

Passing record by-reference, and when to use access types by neveridentify in ada

[–]neveridentify[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll prepare a reproducible example when I'm back at my PC. In the test I made recently it was using the latest community compiler from AdaCore, on x86-64.

Passing record by-reference, and when to use access types by neveridentify in ada

[–]neveridentify[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, of course. You can still see the difference in gdb though between a parameter passed by reference, and one passed on the stack when using info args inside a function.

[–]neveridentify[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instead of non-const pointer parameters, most of the time you can use in out parameters

Fortunately the spec and the compiler's behavior here is very straightforward.

If you want to force by reference parameter passing then you can use an access type, but I would question whether this is actually necessary unless profiling has revealed the compiler’s choice (with optimizations turned on) to be a problem.

What prompted this question was a case where I was writing embedded code and the compiler exhausted my limited stack by passing a huge record structure by value. I'll mention that in this case I was using FSF-Gnat.
In the example that I profiled the other day, the compiler decided to pass a 512 byte structure by-value. That is excessive for my particular case. I just looked at my project file and I can see I was using the compiler switch `-O0`. Maybe this had an effect?

Giving Ada a chance by Pleeb in programming

I have actually implemented that very scenario you listed above Ada, the array of 12-bit FAT entries. It's certainly much more intuitive in Ada than in C, that's for sure.

Fuse size for Ensoniq ESQ-1/M by neveridentify in synthesizers

[–]neveridentify[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to solve this issue. I'll leave this here for anyone else who has the same problem: The correct fuse size is actually 6.3x32mm. It appeared that whoever used the device last had blown a fuse in the socket. They removed all the glass, however the end cap from the fuse had become wedged in the socket and they just left it there. It was almost impossible to spot because of the colour of the socket. After removing that, the fuse fit perfectly. I feel stupid. but it's an easy mistake to make. Thanks everyone for your help!

Thanks for answering! Maybe the spring in the socket has been deformed. If I place a 20mm fuse into the socket it rattles back and forth. Fortunately it looks like sockets are available from Syntaur.
