AngeTheGreat's Engine Simulator: Procedurally Generating Audio Using a Real-time Fluid Simulation (Technical Breakdown)


My personal issue with the LLVM re-licensing and its exception clause is that it made no effort to deal with a few projects which had used the LLVM core in an LGPLV2.1 context, only those projects in a GPLV2 context.

This screwed over a few projects which are unable to re-license to an apache2-compatible license. Offhand, I believe it affected the LGPLV2.1 licensed Wine/Codeweavers win32 emulation layer for running windows 32-bit programs on a 64-bit-only mac, and affected several other programs as well.


I second this.


It should be possible to run the results of Unix speak.c through a real (or emulated) Votrax Type 'n Talk unit. I know MAME has emulation of said unit, and while it isn't perfect, its pretty understandable.

I took a shot at making a modernized port of speak.c myself not long after the code was found, but it didn't get very far, sadly. I couldn't figure out an easy way of dealing with the multiple-character character constants.



There was once another sort of 'competitor' to csound called cmusic, I believe the last surviving unmaintained port of it can be found at http://yadegari.org/carl.html


I've got access to an 8" drive as well as plenty of 5.25" drives, and the hardware to do flux images. There are others with access to similar hardware. As kjs3 suggested, contacting people via the classiccmp and vcfed lists is a good idea.


The calendar view on archive.org shows the page was archived 6 times while active, but all of those copies seem to have been manually deleted from archive.org (or perhaps hidden/blacked out?), or something else weird is going on.


Yes: The Gameboy Player for the Gamecube has a GBA processor and some glue logic inside it. There is at least one Nintendo DS cartridge which has a bluetooth chip inside it: Pokémon: Typing Adventure/ And several Gameboy Advance cartridges in the Boktai series have a 'sun sensor' in them. I'm sure there are other examples as well.


I was excited, but the fact that this is (well, WAS) violating the GPL by being MIT licensed was a major downer. I'd be very interested in an org-mode parser which is NOT GPL-licensed, specifically because it is effectively impossible to integrate GPL code as a plugin (unless your editor is also GPL), which was one of the stated goals of this project.

Hence, someone would have to properly clean-room reverse-engineer org-mode in order to achieve 100% compatibility, or make a somewhat-incompatible implementation based on the reference docs instead.

As I understand it, Markdown has significant limitations which org-mode doesn't have, but is under a 3BSD-style license. (It also has issues of x+1 slightly incompatible implementations)


I believe Gitlab and Github both render Org files with OrgRuby[1], which is MIT.

Why can't you make a GPL plugin for whatever editor you use?


It depends on whether it is an essential dll or an optional plugin. I probably could have phrased that better originally.
