Not to be that guy, but Massive does FM via the modulation oscillator, though it's only 2 operator FM. Also to continue being that guy, it doesn't actually do FM at all, but Phase …

Every major DAW already does this- 32 bit float is standard for internal processing, and quite a few of them support import/export of 32 bit files as well. Some even work at 64 bit…

They've got fairly aggressive automated systems for identifying and flagging material that's registered with rights-management agencies. It works for both individual tracks and mat…

Since the later 8.x versions, Live has had a "reduced latency when monitoring" option which allows you to do just that.

This is anecdotal, and I haven't worked there for close to 5 years, but back when I was at a mall Apple store, our store was clocking more revenue per square foot than any other st…

I think you're referring to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_fundamental Which, since it's a psychoacoustic phenomenon, wouldn't hold true when the partials involved are …

Sort of puts arguments about "leaky abstractions" in the appropriate perspective. Even assembly has a lot of turtles holding it up...

I don't like this kind of mocking because usually, I don't care what methods are called internally, I care what the outputs and side effects are. There's almost always a better app…

Wow, I just checked my apps, and sure enough, Bing was authorized. I, too, have never used Bing. That kind of scares the hell out of me.

This is fascinating. I think a really interesting project for someone (other than me) would be to collect each image, and have a whole bunch of people rate each one on a subjective…

This is just fantastic- great reporting, and in my opinion it would elicit the appropriate degree of moral outrage in most reasonable listeners. I hope this kind of exposure is at …

Not sure if you've ever checked it out, but the seattle.rb meetings on Tuesdays at Vivace on Broadway are usually well attended, and both Aaron Patterson and Eric Hodel are usually…

Lifetime Seattleite, never had a problem with the rain and capacitive touchscreens. I know I'm just one data point and all that but it's not a common complaint AFAIK.

It's... really stressful. I had coworkers who still have dreams about it, years later.

If you are a heavy computer user and have never had a hard drive fail, then you are in the extreme minority. That's like living in a city for 20 years and never getting a cold.

This may be partly due to the infamous "dubplate culture" intrinsic to the Drum n' Bass scene, and later the Dubstep scene. Back in the late 90s it wasn't uncommon for certain giga…

And still, I can't find an icon for macvim that's not horrible.

That's exactly the point- since they're holding off on upgrading their OS, potentially for a much longer time, they won't even have the option of updating their web browser. An OS …

Honestly, nothing too crazy. What drove me nuts as a Mac Genius was the opaqueness of the engineering and support organization- we were on the front lines diagnosing and fixing cus…

I worked at Apple retail for five years, and of all the things this guy could've talked about these are the things he mentions? o_0

ActiveRecord was never rewritten in C. Twitter's problems stemmed from the fact that they had written a realtime messaging system, but designed it like a microblogging platform. Th…

How would you propose to do it then?

Wait, did you say Facebook? If that isn't representative of the problems Myspace is facing, I don't know what is.

Read up on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odeo ... Twitter was a side project that ended up taking over.

Your password file is still encrypted, so would-be attackers would still need your master password. As for developing a cloud solution... who knows. Maybe they considered it orthog…
