I see so many people try to reinvent sequencing as a circular diagram, as opposed to (say) a piano roll that loops, and I see little to no advantage to it. It's a cool novelty, but…

They had to have had _some_ inkling, considering one of the lyrics is “a cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest, and a queer threw up at the sight of that.”

No corners. Just a straightforward paving.

> The Bureau of Street Services (StreetsLA) has not repaved a street since last June, and the city’s latest budget practically zeros out repaving for next fiscal year. StreetsLA cr…

Not to mention that Amazon drivers are delivering to dozens of stops along their route to you, making them far more efficient compared to each consumer traveling to the store in th…

I've been using Macrofactor for many years (after a HN recommendation) and now that you mention it, I've been super happy with the experience and don't detect a whiff of dark patte…

It's not. You're putting the cart before the horse (or attributing the horse to the cart?). Contemporary music began using a click track because it makes techniques like sequencing…

As a career musician with a heavy interest in electronic music and DSP, hearing the author work through designing the algorithm is interesting to me. They make several good points …

Not once did this pop on my radar as AI-generated. And if it is that’s fine, because it reads extremely clear and coherent to me. Larger point: I am so sick of HN comment sections …

Very cool! Thanks for sharing.

Yeah. Whenever someone starts explaining to me that "they" - meaning some vague and undefined cartel - want you to (blank) I immediately flag their reasoning as suspect until prove…

It would be far more interesting if you did. Not sure why you feel need to keep it secret.

I wouldn’t mind more foreign car companies if it means alternatives to what’s being offered today. I don’t see why they should be restricted if most industries don’t also have simi…

This has been my experience as well. Many owners want to know about issues before they fester. I'm fortunate to have an attentive property manager and a landlord who is interested …

I intuitively put this much effort into asking good questions when I need help, and what I often find is that by spending time to formulate a question that makes it easy for others…

There are tools to mitigate clipping artifacts, and tools to generate new transients for overly compressed files, but they're not a silver-bullet and the new material that is gener…

If you want an excellent explanation of why proposals for new notation systems like you’re suggesting have been developed (and failed) Tantacrul has made an excellent video describ…

This. The loudness is an aesthetic choice. The reason it was backed off for the vinyl master is most likely due to physical limitations of the medium. If the audio channels are too…

And who, exactly, would approve that misguided proposal? I suspect you’re not involved in contemporary record making. Like it or not, clipping is a technique and a color that produ…

Yes. Zero dynamic range. If everything is at a “10” in linguistic intensity (“Incredible”, “Legendary”, “GOAT”) then nothing is exceptional. It’s the linguistic equivalent of a Dor…

Agreed. It's not a great analogy. I'm annoyed because you keep referring to the cost of a license as "gate-keeping" or somehow "hiding away" your ability to use the software. Pay t…
