dang has commented on this recently and suggested there are new algorithms to boost "repeat" articles that didn't get traction the first time. the intent is to make sure quality articles get to the front page, even if they&#x

thanks for such a thoughtful response. I totally grasp the complexity of the issue now. I guess my confusion then lies in the history that I've never had such drastic playback inconsistency in my applications- so midi input synchroniza

i'm not sure why you're being downvoted. I sense a lot of trigger happy fanboys in this thread. your point is totally valid. the odds these guys screw up again like this seem slim. especially if they were to lose their job over it

so you've never worked on or anywhere near a live production. am I right?

there is no contradiction. what you want to do and what this article suggests you do instead are not mutually exclusive. consider the (perhaps poorly guided) advice "if you want to go to Florida [i think you should] go to Hawaii [i

I leave you with this: "very similar" is subjective. most people who actually care about fashion would not find these items "very similar". I definitely see the use case for "so cheap it's nothing like the orig

this is my point though. i recognize there are latency and timing issues but they seem related to playback. but at any given point, you know what sample is being output. you also know if MIDI is being captured. isn't quantization just

unfortunately i don't have the code for the step sequencer that used both implementations. but i can share some of the libraries i've released that stemmed from it: MIDI file parsing/writing/manipulation for js: https:

clicking around the screen without intent has resulted with some more interesting melodies than i had in mind when i started. instruments like this are great for brainstorming.

you have sample level control- why impossible? i've implemented naive quantization and MIDI control in my own web apps, without plugins...

by catshirt 12y ago
great idea. not all sunglasses are wayfarers though... would be cool if you had mechanisms for swapping out similar items. so you could "fork" a look, if you will.

"useless" seems a little extreme. the tool is fun and fluid enough that even if it were to vary within 20bpm i would still use it to get stuff out of my head. prototyping. for what it is, i think the usability issues are more seve

even if agreed with your point i think we can agree it's more the execution is what's stupid- not the idea. not to say i think either is stupid. the idea is that JS, and probably HTML/CSS by extension, are not the ideal tools

the code doesn't fail, the response just differs by client. for the purposes of your example, the "server" is a actually a client. and that's not a problem for the package manager to solve. if anything, isn't this a

where does copyright law draw the line? i ask because i have heard that specifically, it is illegal to recite happy birthday for commercial purposes. so, to use it on your YouTube video, for instance. but as far as i'm aware, Lady Gaga

it's satirical but is it a joke? valuation is not a pure function of revenue and profit. unless i am missing something this valuation is as real as Twitter's or Facebook's. that's the joke.

you're right, feelings seems like a mischaracterization on my part. in that case i agree body language is can be a better tool for communicating feeling than verbal language. not to take this off the deep end, but i'll try to clar

if your definition of "feelings" stops at "happy" and "sad", sure. but feelings quickly become too complicated to express without language. example: i want to go out to dinner tonight, but i feel like we went

by catshirt 12y ago
it's a definition, not an analogy. language is just our best tool for sharing feelings, concepts, etc. funny to think it's (probably) ultimately not the best tool for that. :)
