This is a really good find, thanks for that. It's from 2000 and still relevant. Added an issue to support hours: https://github.com/spmvg/open_it_maintenance_planner/issues/...

Thanks all already for the responses and feedback. I posted this to HN a few days ago and I noticed it getting a little traction today. I really appreciate it! It's way past bedtime here, going to get some sleep and will check later ag

Thanks for your feedback! I'm not very proud of the data input in the sidebar as well (especially when there is also a scrollbar). Let me illustrate a bit what my motivation was: Q: What is the goal of the application? A: The goal of t

Thanks! I like your suggestion. I was doubting a lot between hours and days and eventually settled on days because I noticed product managers (in bigco) making rough estimates based on "fractions of FTEs over a quarter", so days a

Yes I didn't focus on mobile at all, and I notice it renders but drag-and-drop is broken, argh... I think I underestimated how many people would be checking this out on mobile.

Half the fun of this project has been doing it in Python and performance hasn't been an issue so far, which says something about how fast Python is already. And indeed native would be ~50x-100x faster. I must defend the design choice f

Cython and related tools will be the direction to take if performance becomes a bottleneck indeed! Interestingly enough, the audio callback is being handled fast enough on my not-impressive laptop and CPU usage has been low on average (<

So far CPU usage hasn't been an issue at all (<1% usually on my not-very-impressive laptop), which surprised me as well

I apparently only have the old Windows MME drivers indeed (and ASIO, on Win10). Need to look into why I can't find WASAPI and if I can assume other Windows users have those by default.

Debugging an existing DAW to see how they do it under the hood is an interesting idea. Haven't done that yet. About another interface: I do want to keep the application supporting cheaper interfaces such as the Scarlett, because the ta

With Ableton and the default ASIO configuration on my Scarlett I get 96 ms combined input+output latency without any processing in between, so that's probably what made my ears bleed before. Tweaking the sample rate and buffer size get

Indeed, it is not a guarantee that the "sleep" will be exactly that long. In the code I'm not "sleeping" in any sensitive places, instead I'm relying on the callback to the audio stream object, which just needs

by spmvg 2y ago
Interesting comment! I'm going to figure out if using another driver allows me to get under 20 ms in latency. Right now I'm measuring around 300 ms in latency round-trip, which is not a problem because I can correct for it. (I&#x2
