This is what I don't understand about Android. I have sounds set to "Alarms only" yet this webpage still plays it's tones.

You could keep a slim headphone jack (no cable, just the bit that goes in) plugged into the socket. Would also stuff it filling with fluff. I do this with my laptop. Obviously won't work on iPhone 7.

How much percent of the entire activity on GitHub is that?

I was curious about this also. It tracks the global public events endpoint

https://developer.github.com/v3/activity/events/#list-public...

which has a limit of 30 items, requesting every 2 seconds

https://github.com/debugger22/github-audio/blob/e1170daa3a64...

And then limits to 3 pushes, 5 issue comments, and 3 issue events:

https://github.com/debugger22/github-audio/blob/e1170daa3a64...

There are definitely situations where you'd be losing events, though I don't know what percentage that represents.

For some reason, this is the fifth posting of this site in the past two days, and the only one to make it to the front page.

It seems that HN is encouraging people to post the same Show HN projects multiple times until they get traction. I have been restraining myself from doing that with my own projects because I care a little about this community, but since moderators and the majority of users don't, I will not restrain myself anymore.

That seems a little unfair. I suspect it's just that users are encouraged to not feel that they should refrain from posting interesting content again just because it quickly fell away.

In recent versions there are three different volume sliders. I'd call them: "Notifications", "Alarms", and "Media". You have to check all three of these to be sure. I have mine set to only "Alarms" and occasionnally allow "Media" when listening to music or podcasts, but after listening you have to reset "Media" to zero. (I don't have any kind of notifications alerts, sound or vibration)

And until very recently, you had a fourth: Bluetooth. It seems v6.0.1 dropped it, though.

That would be very very cool, but good luck with trying to version .logicx or .cpr I think popular software vendors should seriously reconsider their file formats in the 21st century, including graphical and audio ones.

Why wouldn't it be possible to version control in the same way we version control other random files? Just treat it as a stream of arbitrary data.

It would be possible if there was a change log constantly updated that was meta data to the stream. In other words, each time something is done on the audio/visual file, log what it was, and version control that.

I agree. How am I supposed to know if a TLD belongs to a company?

WHOIS

If you're using the default whois that comes with OS X you're out of luck.

$ whois github.audio

whois: audio.whois-servers.net: nodename nor servname

provided, or not known

iPhone users can always use a plug. http://appleplugs.com/

Probably the same on Windows 98 or XP.
