The Twelve-Factor App
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/11/21
Still relevant: [Wayback/Archive] The Twelve-Factor App and [Wayback/Archive] 12 Fractured Apps — Medium
Once Docker hit the scene the benefits of the 12 Factor App (12FA) really started to shine. For example, 12FA recommends that logging should be done to stdout and be treated as an event stream. Ever run the docker logs command? That’s 12FA in action!

12factor.netstill the thing or is there a new thing?” - [Wayback/Archive] Kelsey Hightower on Twitter: “12 Fractured Apps“Many of the applications that are being packaged for Docker are broken in subtle ways. So subtle people would not call them broken, it’s more like a hairline fracture — it works but hurts like hell when you use them.””

GitHub – ggerganov/whisper.cpp: Port of OpenAI’s Whisper model in C/C++
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/11/20
For future experimentation transcribing voice conversations: [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – ggerganov/whisper.cpp: Port of OpenAI’s Whisper model in C/C++
Whisper (speech recognition system) usually runs in the cloud (someone else’s computers, often rentable for a substantial monthly sum).

Now hopefully Whisper works well with the Dutch language…

Generate a GUID in Windows 10 (Globally Unique Identifier)

A while ago, I needed to generate GUIDs on any Windows console so performed a [Wayback/Archive] generate guid windows terminal – Google Search, found [Wayback/Archive] Generate a GUID in Windows 10 (Globally Unique Identifier) and came up with this generate-guid.bat file:

Un4seen.Bass Namespace – BASS.NET API for the Un4seen BASS Audio Library
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/11/19
A while ago, within a week time, I got reminded of a project I did some 15 years ago involving low-latency audio using the .NET platform on Windows XP Embedded.
For that I used the BASS.NET wrapper classes and P/Invoke methods around the Un4seen BASS Audio Library.
Back in those days there was not much documentation about this, but now there is more.
Some starting points are:
- [Wayback/Archive] BASS.NET API for the Un4seen BASS Audio Library – Table of Content
- [Wayback/Archive] BASS.NET Overview
- [Wayback/Archive] BASS.NET API
BASS.NET is a .Net wrapper for the BASS Audio Library and all it’s Add-Ons – available @ http://www.un4seen.com. The Bass.Net.dll release version is installed in the specified ‘install-directory’ and will be registered to the .NET Framework as a standard component (if you left all the installation options checked). Note, that there are various Bass.Net assemblies available (side-by-side): one targeting the .Net v4.8 Full Framework and one targeting the .Net v6.0 Core Framework.
The native BASS libraries (e.g. bass.dll) are NOT included and need to be downloaded seperately – so make sure to download the BASS library and the needed add-on libraries and place them to your project executable directory (e.g. place the bass.dll to .\bin\Debug).
…
followed by an elaborate list of the Bass.net namespaces.

- [Wayback/Archive] Upgrading from Previous Versions
- [Wayback/Archive] Interoperating with Unmanaged Code was still in its infancy somewhere on the forums when I used the Bass.net library. Wish it had been in its current state, as it now is a set of wonderful guidelines.

Momenteel repeteer ik wekelijks met mijn muziekverenigingen realtime via internet. We kunnen echt samen muziek maken en dat is heerlijk!
Om succesvol samen te kunnen spelen via internet begruiken we 2 programma’s:
- Zoom – dit gebruiken we voor het beeld, de video.
- Jamulus – dit gebruiken we voor het geluid, de audio.
Op deze pagina vindt u een handleiding die ik schreef voor de installatie en het instellen van deze 2 programma’s.
Let op: Er is een aparte handleiding voor Windows en een aparte handleiding voor MacOS.
Verder kun je via deze pagina de installatieprogramma’s downloaden die nodig zijn om Jamulus en ASIO4ALL te installeren.
Dit is Open Source software die je ook kunt downloaden van www.jamulus.io en www.asio4all.org.
- [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers @wiert@mastodon.social on X: “@lucasmeijer It’s been a long time ago, so just to check that we are talking about the same thing: I was using the BASS .NET wrappers around ASIO audio back then.”

…
Among other things, this makes it possible to emulate a typical Windows application that opens an audio device in shared mode. This means other applications can use the same audio devices at the same time, with the Windows audio engine mixing the various audio streams. Other universal ASIO drivers do not offer this functionality as they always open audio devices in exclusive mode.

Famous AI Artist Says He’s Losing Millions of Dollars From People Stealing His Work
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/11/13
Using generative AI for your work can very likely result into your work not being copyrightable, at least in the USA: [Wayback/Archive] Famous AI Artist Says He’s Losing Millions of Dollars From People Stealing His Work
The guy who used Midjourney to create an award-winning piece of AI art demands copyright protections.
…
Now, in an ironic twist, Allen is upset that his work—which was created via a platform that’s been accused of ripping off countless copyrighted works—cannot, itself, be copyrighted, and is thus getting ripped off. In March of last year, the U.S. Copyright Office ruled that work derived from AI platforms “contained no human authorship” and therefore could not be extended copyright protections. Allen has been trying, since late 2022, to register his painting as a copyrighted work.

GitHub – src-d/hercules: Gaining advanced insights from Git repository history.
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/11/12
[Wayback/Archive] GitHub – src-d/hercules: Gaining advanced insights from Git repository history.
This project, with the command-line tools hercules and labours is on my research list as it can get pretty good long-term insights on project health (the tool is programming language independent).
Especially the half-life of code is a good measurement, as well as the existence of code bursts (hello major version increments!).

2014 memory: TL;DR Thank you! You’re awesome! Let’s do it again! • GDG DevFest Netherlands
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/11/08
10 years ago, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and attend the [Wayback/Archive] GDG DevFest Netherlands 2014.
Until then, on the mobile front, I only had deep experience with the .NET Compact Framework, on the cloud framework I had no real experience: my experience were (sometimes huge) systems running in private data centers communicating with various protocols over SNA and TCP/IP (and way before that: UUCP and dial-up) and on the programming front my strengths were .NET and Delphi (with truckloads of scripting) and no experience in Go or Dart (Rust was invented a year later).
So I was really happy with the [Wayback/Archive] TL;DR Thank you! You’re awesome! Let’s do it again! • GDG DevFest Netherlands
I think this comment by Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on a G+ post is one of the best complements we’ve got:“Thanks for organizing this. It was a great conference! A great mix of things outside my comfort zone and things I could relate to from a very different perspective: wonderful and inspiring.”
G+ plus is gone, but this memory will last forever as this was a start widening my horizon learning about GDG like I knew about SDN*, Borland/Inprise/Codegear/Embarcadero DevRel and Microsoft DevRel.

Good example for open source guidelines to contributors: liburing/CONTRIBUTING.md at master · axboe/liburing · GitHub
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/11/07
This one is clear and concise. [Wayback/Archive] liburing/CONTRIBUTING.md at master · axboe/liburing · GitHub of which some highlights:
…
The main reasons for the rules are:
- Keep the code consistent
- Keep the git repository consistent
- Maintain bisectability
…
No fixup commits! Sometimes people post a change and errors are pointed out in the commit, and the author then does a followup fix for that error. This isn’t acceptable, please squash fixup commits into the commit that introduced the problem in the first place. This is done by amending the fix into the original commit that caused the issue. You can do that with
git rebase -iand arrange the commit order such that the fixup is right after the original commit, and then use ‘s‘ (for squash) to squash the fixup into the original commit. Don’t forget to edit the commit message while doing that, as git will combine the two commit messages into one. Or you can do it manually. Once done, force push your rewritten git history. See reasons 1-3 in the introduction series for why that is.…
A good commit explains the WHY of a commit – explain the reason for this commit to exist. Don’t explain what the code in commit does, that should be readily apparent from just reading the code. liburing commits follow the following format:
