I'm seeing horrible TTFB from Europe. Most files are fast but sometimes a request is stuck for 10s or more...

That's awesome, but I really want to see lightning fast response times and TTFB... Second pain point is the number of retries needed for uploading a large batch of small files. Those are the main reasons I'm still considering migr

I really like this post, especially the interactive grid with labels. A quick tip so it's easier for people to share and link to it: please add some Open Graph meta tags to the page so it looks nice[0]. Anyone who's interested on

There are endless resources, but the most important thing is to pursue the playful goal-free explorative learning part of it first. Just discover relationships between pitches and sounds yourself. (It’s not the same, as pitch is a perceive

Sorry about that, I will get around fixing it. (It’s quite an UX headache. Maybe only the middle 2/3s should hijack or the embed needs a bit of extra padding?) Edit: for now, it only zooms with shift pressed

I wrote this upon realizing that two more or less random historical events ended up determining the entirety of my life’s course so far — the fall of the Iron Curtain and the rise of the Internet. These two have their hand in everything tha

Great experience with WireGuard so far, but does anyone know a simpler way to use it over networks where UDP is blocked (e.g. university Wi-Fi)? I've only found this comment[1]. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=

It has a fair tinge of typical Polish-style pessimistic humor.

Is there a known approach that attempts to separate all distinct sounds (timbres rather than pitch) in a track? Specifically targeted at electronic music, not standard acoustic ensembles.

All that’s missing is the ability to control these settings through the API - same with Letsencrypt certs / auto ssl.

I think this doesn't go far enough, there should be a ban on starting before 10 am. During high school I recall frequently falling asleep around 3-4 am and having the alarm go off at 6:30.

Super happy to see this effort and eager to check the code out soon! As someone who relies on a lot of Zapier-style API connections, I’d love to hear more about how people approach it - how you go about managing env vars (keys/token),

Berlin is still a great place to live, but dev salaries are low and seem to stuck at a ceiling of about €70-75K/y gross for senior/lead positions (there are exceptions, but even this is a hard sell to get). For a long time this wa

The only ethical pay-per-view system I can think of would be to stream directly from the production source (production house, artist), some sort of a paid RSS-like feed.

Ableton is a different ballgame if you have the Push interface. Other than that Reaper needs a mention, it is the best DAW[1] in terms of functionality and power. Truly for power-users and not necessarily as a musical idea starter. [1] htt

It’s cheap but it’s proving unacceptably slow for me - sometimes I see 2.5s TTFB for accessing tiny audio files in my region (Berlin, EU). Server uploads are also quite unreliable, had to write a lot of custom retry logic to handle 503 erro

I’ve been thinking a lot about how the UX of cassettes and vinyl encouraged an immeasurably deeper immersion and exploration of music. My walkman would keep playing as the battery died, playing the music slower and slower still for about 20

It's not that hard to learn to mix well with turntables, especially if you have a background in music production or instruments. It's a logarithmic curve, I think you can get there in ~2 months, putting in some time daily. Compare
