Same in the UK, it's always "going up to London". Maybe it's a subconscious status thing?

I think the most glaring oversight in the headline is that Miles Davis was a trumpet player.

Time signature and key are totally irrelevant to the task of identifcation. Interval could be important, but vastly complicates the matter - identifying intervals is hard enough for many competent musicians.

"Heads Bodies & Legs" is great fun, especially if the other person is similarly puerile. One that I don't see - or maybe I don't know what I'm looking for - is "Fish, Fruit, Flower"[0], which we used t

I've read this book, and what I love about it is that it really brings to mind the programming books of my youth, when nobody would argue that programming should be fun. It's goofy, has bad jokes, and you learn something. Having s

The keyboard and the aspect ratio, although I now realise this new version doesn't feature the latter. I do have plenty of old thinkpads, but I've never tried getting any modern components into one.

Check out http://funklet.com/ Also, you can create 'groove templates' in Logic Pro, which lets you analyze the groove of one track, and then apply it to another.

Good point! If you're going to pattern match in the initial string then who even needs the second function? def convert("12:" <> <<m::bytes-size(2)>> <> ":" <> <<s::bytes-si

If the formatted_hour functions were larger or shared some amount of code, I wouldn't have suggested it ;)

Great article, thanks! I'm not an expert Alchemist by any means, but whenever I see a `cond`, I try to see if it can be refactored out using pattern matching (after I was picked up on the same thing during an interview!) defp form

I think this is a brilliant idea, but I wonder if the terminology should be changed? I think the concept of saving a copy of a recipe, then editing it would come much more naturally to the 99% of people who have never heard of github.

Well done on building this, it's an interesting idea. Where did the numbers come from on the homepage? I only ask because your personal account of 100+ jobs, at 5 mins per application, doesn't seem like the best approach to me. Wh

Cool project! I'd take issue with the claim that "the feature has had a good amount of adoption", though. The top result only has 41 favourites despite ~800 points.
