There is such a thing - a digital metadata standard called DDEX [0]. I worked in streaming classical music for a while (engineering/ops) and we had 100,000s of large XML files to parse. They arrived with digital audio files and conta

Some years ago in the UK when teachers were leaving the profession in droves (stress, paperwork, and result of little actual teaching hours), one of the newspapers (The Guardian, I think) had a front page headline: "Those who can, leav

A certain furniture store in the UK was known for always having a discount and they got round it by having the products at full retail - for the minimum required time (60? 90 days?) - at a shop in the tail end of nowhere. This shop operate

It does seem a rather unnecessarily complicated task given much cheaper second hand/refurbished units could be picked up on eBay and happily run a Debian/Fedora/Ubuntu Linux.

Bikes have got much bigger too. Earlier this year I bought my first 29er (Production Privee Shan No.5) and it's way bigger than my 26er bikes. It makes my DH bike (224) look small!

the "source code" is know as "stems". These days more DJ equipment has support for stems as DJ sets become more hybrid with on-the-fly remixes.

Tham is awesome! Really working all 4 decks during his mixes, with multiple tracks looping in layers. Dax J and Hector Oaks also need a mention - Hector adding a sparkle of punk to electronic mixes.

Somewhere else I saw NodeJS take the lead was parsing of vast quantities of large XML files in the streaming media world. DDEX is the industry standard for metadata communication (artist, track, licensing, credits, etc.). One 20-track Xmas
