I agree with the silliness of 192kHz, but not 24-bits. Here is why: In typical PCM recordings, like CDs, mid-range frequencies (e.g. 1kHz to 4kHz) are recorded with lower amplitudes because our ears are more sensitive to them. Sampling the

Reading McLuhan has had definite returns for me. The most bang for the buck is _Understanding_Media_. People complain about its difficulty, its seriousness, etc. It's not that hard. He does use a few jargon terms, like "hot&quo

This is cool, I can't believe Korg themselves released the source to it! This dramatically increases the value of the device! Thank you, Korg!

Great project! Good hustle with the multiple attempts... I smile at the use of a 555 as an interrupt timer... I did the same thing in my 8088 senior project in 1996... Typically one wants the interrupts to be accurate and periodic (henc

This is a long, but brilliant essay. I especially enjoyed the section on Music Instruments about 1/4 down the page. The theme argues the idea that civilization/society/humans create for the sake of social status, not for the

Yes it would be very cool to have the entire operating system in SSD. Literally flick the computer on and it's running ;) Or flick rapidly between Linux and Windows. That makes me think it might be wise to have a manager to do this.

That's an effect of certain poorly-made security decisions. For example, if a small organization such as a gym or school makes copies of all customer/user driver's licenses: They end up creating a small pile of gold that they

Website looks great and basing it on CSound is a solid choice. Some people may think of it as "old," but really CSound has 1,000s of hours on it over several decades. I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes!

Twitter is an example of product design by technical limitations, not what people need. Nevertheless, they hit very well, b/c the two were somewhat closely aligned for a decade or so. Now that it's being strained, some of its lim

Yes, the obvious scenario is: 1. Creep wants to hurt vulnerable people. 2. Creep buys this system. 3. Creep waits for vulnerable people to be in trouble. 4. Creep shows up on the scene and collaborates with the attacker(s).
