These pencils are sort of an “industry standard” for folks who write (or annotate) music because you can be fast with low effort due to their softness. And also easy to erase since…

Looking at the first example [1] looks like there is high pass, low pass, and two more “cuts” [1] https://github.com/AARomanov1985/Audio-Cassette-Simulation/b...

No VPN just home, in California

And, I noticed yesterday, old.reddit.com now requires login. Which renders a blank page on my phone. Check and mate.

I don’t know about the brain but it’s good for the final results in my experience coding, writing and composing (orchestral music). The results are better and it takes less time if…

Is the burden of proof on me, the developer? Do I need to prove in perpetuity that I didn’t get a job or a free flight to talk at a conference because of my free software? (Which h…

IIRC Facebook switched to HG from SVN in the 2010s, one (main?) motivator being that the single repo was getting too big and svn’s only way was to start splitting it up. Which was …

I recently skipped a concert at the YouTube theater in LA because my phone is too old for Ticketmaster or Hollywood Park apps. Even though you can go and buy a ticket at the box of…

It was so popular in studios to use an old Yamaha ns10 speaker as a kick (bass) drum mic that now Yamaha started making and selling an “official” version. I personally used a toy g…

Will the app work on it? Also will you need a $xx/month cell phone subscription plan? With a credit check and everything?

A friend was about to start this Monday. Last week Oracle called to rescind their offer

I just wish we’d stop with the “unreasonable” click-bite. Cheapens an otherwise excellent article, like “7 x (number 6 will surprise you)” of yesteryear

Excellent! For a music project of mine I found MusGlyph [1] which is also all about ligatures, like typing ssss for 4 beamed sixteenth notes. There are some ligatures I need that a…

Add Bulgaria too. I liked Illusions but a good friend of mine was simply in love with it, bought and gave copies to everyone. And for his birthday last year I almost gave him a sig…

Just pushed another update to https://sightread.org which generates sheet music to practice sight reading and music dictation. Still rhythm-only, now with support for asymmetric (o…

Ha, I was just playing with making a simple pad in webaudio and it evolved into a progression-playing backing track tool (vanilla html/js/css page). It would appear there are a lot…

Not only US. A friend’s flight was late and about to land in Munich after the airport closes. So they had to land at a different airport and then take the train to Munich.

There’s the weird incentive for schools to appear selective. That’s why UCSD would rather reject great candidates because chances are they’ll go to the likes of Harvard. Why accept…

> to make sure V8 doesn't optimize out something too much A bit more explanation of “something” and ”too much“ would have been educational

I’ve published several books with them. Only once I asked and they managed to find the beast. They didn’t promise but they did deliver.

He also designed a Facebook’s office in Menlo Park. The roof was literally a park, seemingly blending with the bay and you could go for a nice nature stroll mid-day by just going u…

Yup, it’s web performance advent calendar in its 17th edition. I’m the maintainer, AMA. Also still accepting contributions for this year.

Let me add also Blindness by José Saramago, it has pages-long paragraphs and sentences, characters have no names just descriptions… it’s surprising at first but not hard to get int…

https://SightRead.org - free, ad-free, etc, vanilla js (except for the abcjs notation library) web app to practice sight reading. Currently rhythm-only, but more is planned.
