Seems to max out my CPU on MBP macOS Sierra Chrome 56.0.2924.87 (64-bit)
- olavgg 10y ago
  Same issue here! Otherwise great work, really cool!
- dyml 10y ago
  That's really surprising. I have no problems on my win machine which I guess is why I missed it. Is it the same problem even if you run it in backgorund? Have some listeners that will pause the youtube video when that happens (which should minimize CPU)
  - mike_pol 10y ago
    For me the high CPU usage seems to happen because of the video background. As soon as I remove the <div class="video-background"></div> the CPU usage drops to normal on my MacBook Pro (with integrated GPU)
- manigandham 10y ago
  Could be the background clouds video + software rendering. Try taking out <div class="video-background"> and see what happens.
  - dyml 10y ago
    Thanks for the leads. Will rewrite it to use PNGs and CSS animations instead of the youtube video! :) This is all a learning journey for me, so it fits right in! :)

Berlin?
- heinz 10y ago
  How do you think Berlin's chatter would be more interesting to you just because you live in Berlin?
- SomeGermanGuy 10y ago
  It is not allowed to listen to radio transmissions you aren't the destination of in Germany and apperently in the UK. So listening to policeradio, AirTrafficControl or anything similar is prohibited by law. https://forums.liveatc.net/listener-forum/german-atc/ https://forums.liveatc.net/listener-forum/german-atc/

    What an odd law. Anybody aware of the reasoning behind this?
    - mtreis86 10y ago
      Anti-propoganda? I am not sure of the reasons, but I recently read a book on the pirate radio stations that broadcast am from ships just offshore England a century ago. It was illegal to listen, but the broadcasters were in international waters. There was also a tv show set in WWII about illegal radio transmission, called Alo Alo. I also know the fcc had a list of countries the US Hams arent allowed to respond to. Seems emptied now http://wireless.fcc.gov/services/index.htm?job=about_2&id=amateur#Permissible%20Countries http://wireless.fcc.gov/services/index.htm?job=about_2&id=am...

      Why is it normal to be allowed to eavesdrop on conversations you're not a party to? Wouldn't it be odd for that to be the default position? There's a cultural norm embedded here. What you think is odd and what's normal is strongly dependent on your priors.

This is really lovely, thank you! Possibly like a lot of other folks here, I discovered this phenomenon of "radio chatter" over "ambient electronic music" via http://youarelistening.to/ http://youarelistening.to/ - I find it so helpful for concentration. I came up with my own improvised "mixing desk" using tabs in a separate browser window (makes it easier to separate from your main work. The most common tab URLs are: http://priyom.org/ http://priyom.org/ - For listening to numbers stations (uses websdr below!) http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/ http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/ - For basically any shortwave transmissions http://www.broadcastify.com/ http://www.broadcastify.com/ - Various scanner feeds from all over http://www.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/11888/web http://www.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/11888/web - A fascinating repeater that I love listening to And finally, I overlay one or more of these over my own Spotify playlist of ambient sounds. It's public, so I'll plug it here. I put this on random and use a crossfade of 10 seconds. https://open.spotify.com/user/n_sonic/playlist/5tEUDt2X2QB0S7QU8ZbKDf https://open.spotify.com/user/n_sonic/playlist/5tEUDt2X2QB0S... Once again, thanks for this! Will be recommending it to folks today.

This is nice! But I was hoping for a transmission of the sounds at the terminal/gate, and/or the announcements at the gate.

Slowed down to a halt. Nexus 6p. Firefox took 15s to close.

  ben, did you get the video? Seems like the video is the cause of the CPU load, and i'm actively moving away from the video.
  - quickben 10y ago
    It is fine now. The site seems 100% usable.
