| schestowitz | <p>The toy kazoo looks like a tiny trombone and the slider does alter the pitch, but it isn’t tuned at all and so analyzing the pitch isn’t useful. So Theremin Hero chose to tie the toy’s slider position to the mouse cursor position in the Y axis and any sound coming from the kazoo triggers a mouse click. Their custom computer software handles the latter by listening through any microphone connected to | Oct 08 06:23 |

| schestowitz | <blockquote> | Oct 08 06:27 |
| schestowitz | <p>Recently Herb Sutter published cppfront, which is an attempt to create C++ a new syntax to fix many issues that can't be changed in existing C++ because of backwards compatibility. Like with the original cfront compiler, cppfront works by parsing the "new syntax" C++ and transpiling it to "classic" C++, which is then compiled in the usual way. These kinds of source generators are fairly common (it is | Oct 08 06:27 |
| schestowitz | basically how Protobuf et al work) so let's look at how to add support for this in Meson. We are also going to download and build the cppfront compiler transparently.</p> | Oct 08 06:27 |

| schestowitz | <blockquote><p> | Oct 08 21:35 |
| schestowitz | This is the fourth part of a series of blog posts we are publishing, mostly around recent developments with respect to PowerDNS Recursor. The first blog post was Refreshing Of Almost Expired Records: Keeping The Cache Hot, the second Probing DoT Support of Authoritative Servers: Just Try It and the third Sharing data between threads in PowerDNS Recursor. | Oct 08 21:35 |
| schestowitz | Complex programs like PowerDNS Recursor need to log information about their operation. In itself this is a delicate balance: too much logging will slow the process down, too little will make it harder to diagnose issues. The question “what and how to log” is also important: up until now we have used free-format text logging. The messages itself can go to a logging daemon (e.g. systemd-journald or syslogd), a text file or the console. | Oct 08 21:35 |
