@dan it's the undefined behavior that provides a subtle frisson. audio code in Rust just sounds more boring, this is all provable

@quinn @regehr @dan All that memory safety leaves it sounding too “safe”. If you want that real vintage “warmth” you need to ride that line of constant risk of a segfault.

@regehr @dan I like my memcpy like I like my speaker cables: hand-assembled.

No two binaries alike; order your artisanal glibc packages today!

@uberduck @regehr @dan Hmm, did you work for my company under a different name? 'Cuz that sounds totally on brand for someone I knew.

@regehr @dan to be fair, UB can, in theory, make your music sound better. It won't, but it can.

@sophieschmieg @regehr @dan Anything* can happen.

*It’s not all equally likely, and you probably won’t like it, but it could happen.

@sophieschmieg @regehr @dan Apologies for the lack of alt text, I don’t seem to have the option to edit it in (maybe because I used the edit function to add the picture?)

The picture depicts a bugfuck-bonkers scene with orange sky, flying unicorn and disembodied mouths and eyes. It’s meant to convey the kinds of things that could happen if you allow UB.

@sophieschmieg @regehr @dan ah yes, the 1998 hit from Stardust "music sounds better with UB"
