This is cool–can you make it so the closed hat chokes the hi hat closed? I really like that feature in drum machines!
Do you mean closed hi hat chokes open hi hat?
Yes exactly!

Https does nothing for security. Its purpose is to authenticate financial transaction packets, not to be "secure". (Whatever that means.)
You need 9 more minutes of thought process.
No, I need exactly 0 seconds to process empty buzzwords in the vein of "add Frobnozz to your TCP/IP, Frobnozz increases security bigly!".

You ISP sniffing and MiTMing traffic on the wire is the least likely vector of malware injection. ISP's are usually serious businesses with reputations and don't hack their own customers.
That “usually” is doing a ton of work. I remember Vodafone injecting scripts into webpages many years ago. While trying to find a source, I bumped into other shenanigans. https://www.simpleanalytics.com/blog/vodafone-deutsche-telek...
Out of all the bad actors on the Internet, your ISP is the least bad.

#144EDIT: nevermind, it's my stupid work proxy blocking the .WAV filetype :(
On both Edge and Chrome on Windows 11 I hear nothing. No "sound" icon in the tab either to indicate that it's muted.

#145This is beautiful, thank you for creating and sharing.
I like the colors and interface for making a beat especially, great ergonomics.
Re: Show HN: I built a website for sharing drum patterns
#146Is everything based on a division of the measure into 16 equally spaced beats? There is so much more to rhythm. Like, for starters, oh, triplet eighths? They come up often, and with them, you can have a heavy form of swing (triple 8 swing). Oh, never mind, I see this is geared toward a piece of drum machine hardware from 1980.
Your comment as written comes off as elitist snark, which is likely why you are getting downvoted. You could’ve instead phrased it as a list of suggestions, tips, or feature requests. OP is sharing for free something cool they made for themselves on their free time. We need more independent fun stuff like this, don’t discourage a better world.
Good guess, but the comment hit +3 at one point.
The project cannot take tips in this area because it's geared towards programming vintage hardware. It first has to add hardware models which have more advanced sequencing. See sibling comment.

The downsides of being secure are a 5 minute setup, once. The thought process of "should this be secure?" is 10 minutes even if the answer is obvious. So why bother? Just be secure and move on.

>Https does nothing for security.
What sort of definition are you using for security? It's obviously not the standard one.
Sending passwords in the clear vs not is covered on the first day of security 101.

It does quite a lot for security. It prevents evesdropping (to an extent, better with esni), disallows ad/malware-injection or content modification, and prevents credential sniffing. It does all that against most reasonable attackers, up to around the rough ballpark of nation states.
All for the price of about the same amount of work that it took to read this message.
"Https is only for credit cards" is some serious 1990s bullshit.
Re: Show HN: I built a website for sharing drum patterns
#149Please allow triplets! You're missing out big without a basic shuffle! I also second the other comments about ordering. Cymbals on top, snare and toms in middle, bass and other pedals on the bottom. e.g. hh |x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-| S |----o-------o---| B |o-------o-o-----|
Is order CH, OH, CY, CB, MA, CL, HC, MC, LC, SD, BD, AC fine or need any other adjustments? There will be support for triples, soooon.
Some other ideas:
- 2 bar patterns would also be great. Many patterns repeat over 8 quarters.
- Allowing accents (dynamics). A lot of drum patterns involve just a few drums, where accents are what bring the pattern to life.
With accents and triplets, you can have the Purdie shuffle [1], which is one of my favorite patterns ever :)
