Once upon a time i programmed machine code, and fortran. I ended with Visual Basic, and Javascript. It all moves so fast.Forgive my ignorance (my programming experience ended with Pascal in 1980) but isn’t that true of all programming?
I do
This thread was supposed to help Cliff with the discovery of bugs or problems with the beta. Don’t complain if 12 has bugs because the focus of this thread is everything but the beta.
Actually, at my current job, I live in that sort of Rome mostly. Job is awesome in many much more important ways (great boss, company does work that genuinely helps a lot of people who could really use it), but Rome.And sane symmetrical braces not K&R. Except when in Rome. But they're Wrong.
Speaking of Rome, didn't I already gripe about what happened to this thread and unsub?Wake me when there's a thread about the beta or progress beyond it.
Some squiers are pretty good thoughThis talk is about Operating Systems. FW 12 is an Operating System. Cliff is inventing it using a new tool that is not ideal. It would be like if one of us are used to playing a 1967 ES175 and we were forced to instead play a Fender Squire (single coil) with Pat Metheny. It would take some tweaking...

I guess Firmware 12.0 is right around the corner...??Computer is all set now. My three most important programs had installation problems: Matlab simply wouldn't install regardless of compatibility settings, had to upgrade. In fairness it was the 2006 version. OrCad license manager wouldn't install. Futzed around with the hasp drivers and now it works. Code Composer wouldn't import my projects correctly, had to rebuild manually.
Development software is always problematic because it's not used by the masses and often uses licensing schemes that cause problems.
Windows 10 sucks though. I've got it set up the best I can but the look and feel sucks. A bunch of white rectangles doesn't feel like "progress". Don't like Visual Studio 2019 either. Went back to my trusty VS 2008. I just use it as an editor. Tried VS Code. Don't like that either. I guess I'm different. I like the old MDI paradigm but it seems as though that's frowned upon now.
Fingers crossed!I guess Firmware 12.0 is right around the corner...??

I've been meaning to try WSL for this reason, seems really interesting. Not that I do much in a terminal even on OSX or Linux, but still.Debatable. I still prefer it to Windows for all the Linux-targeted work I do. That I can get a Terminal that behaves correctly is what matters most to me.
A MacBook Pro can run a full studio, and not sweat doing it.
The price includes Hardware that won’t fail or let you down, native audio and video applications (industry standard), and OS for life.
I’m on year seven with my 2013 MacBook Pro, it still runs flawlessly, and the CPU is yet to be too slow for full mixes. My investment is currently at the $350 / year mark, when spreading it out over 7 years.
I have piles of PC’s in the basement!
They were cheaper, ran ok at times, but crashed frequently.
The bottom line is I want to be as productive as possible!
Troubleshooting, rebuilding, and hard drive forensics is NOT getting things done.
I’m not getting any younger, that’s for sure
