Had a chat with @stephenbelanger about the import-in-the-middle library, and his team’s recent donation of it to @nodejs. We also ventured into choosing Observability tools for node-apps, and the current state of performance in Node.js itself. Enjoy! šŸ“„: opensource.datadoghq.com/pro…

A week ago, @jasnell and I had a 2-hour long podcast with the crew at @JSPartyFM to discuss at length the state of the @nodejs project.... and why the reports of its death are greatly exaggerated. buff.ly/45aNfHr

Hey Node.js folks! I made another gift for you! Ever wish you could free() a Buffer, because you know you're not gonna use it again? The extra perf would be huge, right? Well you can! I've wrapped up the easiest way of doing it in an npm module. Enjoy! npmjs.com/package/array-buff…

Feels like I'm pretty close to wrapping up the first iteration of built-in FFI in Node.js. By far the biggest difficulty is the multitude of systems that Node.js supports.

Messed around with a looper pedal for the first time on an old hoffman-style bass last night. (headphones best for listening šŸŽ§)

in the max/msp community posting example patches is the norm when people are helping each other out. chatgpt has picked up on this (probably by having the cycling74 forums scraped), and generates garbage base64 every time. in every prompt you need to ask it not to do this.

RIP @moogmusicinc. Welcome to the continuation of yet more cheap and uninspiring instruments / production tools produced under the guise of clout from a once great music company. Here's @roger_linn to explain who the new owner is:

Drawing inspiration from ā€˜90s video games and websites, we had the privilege of collaborating with @yurisuzuki and the teams at @pentagram and @ctpt_studio, along with illustrator Rob Pybus, to bring this vision to life. Head over to minimoogmodeld.com to explore!
