The wikipedia article[1] says it's "Fourier construction" but without reference (that I can find) and without elaboration. At their website[2] they list some of their staff; I looked up research by one of their researchers an

Ahhh, got it, yes. I'm familiar with this practice[1] but for some reason it didn't jump out at me that this is what you were referring to. Unsolicited speculation: I wonder if this is related to your hiring woes? I have vague mem

This might be obvious, but not to me --- why are your minimum requirements not the same as what is posted on the job ad?

I play piano, guitar (classical music), and trumpet (jazz). The guitar is aspirationally tuned in equal temperament — note that one can transpose a piece up by playing in a higher position and it ought to sound the same. In practice , thou

I just recently learned about Faust (a domain-specific language for digital signal processing) and I find it waaay easier than writing C++ or (what I was doing before) javascript with the web audio APIs. There's an online IDE[+] where

Math PhD here. You're a fantastic dedicated parent and you did no harm. First, as to the merits of your approach --- I think of multiplication as scaling myself. That's totally valid. Second, whether it's even possible to do

Very timely question, considering 'jart's work has been at the top of HN in the last couple days[+]. Take a look at https://justine.lol/ape.html especially the portable Javascript interpreter. If you go that route

Neat! Possibly you already know this but "pitch detection algorithm" would be a good search term for looking for alternatives to zero-crossing or FFTs.

Would you be willing to share more about your fear of death? I'm curious about what that's rooted in alongside a belief in reincarnation. Fear of pain? Of getting a bad lot the next time around? Of the possibility of being wrong?

Hmm, I don't remember what I did when my family got a PowerPC to replace our 68k. I definitely remember using MacsBug for live debugging but I don't remember whether I had a static disassembler.

Ah. Just now reading your other replies. Unfortunately it's subjective, fuzzy, and often rooted in convention rather than following algorithmic rules. An algorithm is probably impossible in the general case. In the case of jazz standar

The appropriate note depends on context. For example, if you're using it in the context of a minor plagal cadence, Bbm to F (iv--I) then it's a Db because it's the minor third of Bb minor. If you're transitioning from F
