I guess there's some logic to that. If you want the ability to navigate within a website without restarting the music all the time, you need to implement some kind of hack. Back then, it was frames. Nowadays, it's SPAs.

I'm excited that audio-programming-in-the-browser is becoming a thing. It means more people are likely to fall down this exquisite rabbit hole. I'm totally in this field so I'll list a few websites that let you program music

They link to the full Mikros showreel [1], implying that it's been used in a bunch of blockbusters already. But I couldn't find any information on how it's been used and in which projects, it would be cool to have more detail

It has sample-level precision, just like the Web Audio API provided by the browser (which is what's used under the hood). It's pretty much independent of non-audio time APIs.

Nice! Thanks for sharing your graphviz-fu, that's actually not as hairy as I thought it would be, and the result is neat enough. I do remember playing with subgraphs and ranks when testing graphviz, but I gave up before getting this fa

Once again, my use case is DSP block diagrams. I guess "ridiculous" is a bit strong, but the results certainly didn't look like what you generally find in this context. You can look at the diagrams in the link I gave for an i

I think you meant this as a top level comment, not a reply to mine. But yes, nothing beats a napkin in terms of speed.

That's great to hear and exactly why the article exists. I'd say the DAFX papers are the best rabbit hole in this field: http://ant-s4.unibw-hamburg.de/dafx/paper-archive/search.php... (And this is not e

This tool seems to unify a bunch of text-to-diagram tools into one, which is a great idea. It's funny to see them all united, since I recently went on a binge trying out all those text-to-diagram tools for a project. My use case: writi

I like it. Yes, other sites have been providing this, but I think this stands a chance of ranking well in the future when people search for what their aircraft is, and with good reason: it does that one thing without distraction. Especially

For some background, I've been looking for a way to make self-similar geometries in SDF raymarching for a while (and I know some others have as well). After a lot of trial and error, I came up with this loopless technique, and this pos

Apparently this just got flagged off the front page, which I think is unfortunate. If anything, the fact that the interpretation is wrong makes the discussion all the more interesting, and any discussion about possible complex semasiographi

As you point out, sounds can only start in foreground tabs, but the glitch here is that already-running audio is getting stopped when the user switches to another tab. So it's a bug in my code!

Thanks for the feedback! I roughly added some previous and next links as you suggested. As for playing audio from a background tab, I believe browsers actually allow it, but for some reason, audio played though emscripten's APIs seems

One thing Forth is great at is signal processing. This was kind of a revelation to me when I tried Paul Batchlor's Sporth, a Forth-style language specialized in audio processing. Nowadays audio synths and effects are most commonly repr

Originally, caffeine content was probably an important factor. There's a study that showed participants developed a preference for the taste of drinks that were accompanied with caffeine and theobromine. This preference became "hi

I've previously dreamed of a community version of this, and I'm certain others have as well. There's a chance the concept might be flawed, but it's worth considering. Members would be encouraged to act as "productiv

Totally! Teknik is one of the most popular makers out there. A while back I set a steep problem with only holds from their "geomatics" series, they're great to work with. (PS I'm out for tonight)

Ideally, setters should put up a variety of moves and problems that slightly favor different body types. Also ideally, have forerunners of different body types, and fix the problem if it takes discrimination too far (eg. a move that's

I think this article doesn't really explain what the setters are focusing on here, and it's actually quite interesting. When setting for a bouldering competition, the problems you create must satisfy very precise constraints: name

That's not the argument. They just seem to believe that it's a nerdy alternative layout like Dvorak ("...even on HN"). Not everyone is familiar with international layouts.

There's no arguing the fact that regexes are a poor fit for HTML, but maybe this is the wrong time to use that ridiculous email regex as an example, since TFA features a highly readable, fully compliant email matching regex as its main

This seems great for creating smaller graphs as long as they don't get too complex. I'm kind of obsessed with node-based environments for DSP and media stuff (Reaktor, vvvv, and many others). Whenever my graphs attain some level o

That definitely counts in my book. Milkdrop 2 introduced shader support at a time when GPUs were coming out with increasingly powerful shader support, which was mostly just used for video games, leaving an untapped artistic potential. This
