I'm certainly not hoping it goes badly for him. I just don't think it's healthy to learn about a source of volatility and then immediately go all-in on the next one.

I have a discomfort about people showing off their consumption habits or tastes. The other day I read a sentence like, "I admire a person who listens to tasteful music, does their research and has a carefully curated music hobby"

I agree with you here. Using Prometheus, federated Prometheus, and Thanos on top of it for good measure, would probably get you better results without using a hodge-podge of non-Prometheus-compatible tools.

I have a Makefile for a Rust project which binds the local repository to a Docker volume, builds it in the container using muslrust, and then does a chown to change the target directory back from root ownership to my own user. All I had to

Go more than makes up for this in the deployment aspect, since deploying Python in 2020 (Python 2, Python 3, conda, pip, venv, system interpreter, poetry, etc.) is still a mess.

I second the Thanos link, but if you want to only use Prometheus, I would look into federation: https://www.robustperception.io/scaling-and-federating-prome... https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus&#x2F

Have you looked into Grafana Loki for logs? If I had to redo one part of our stack, that's what I'd choose.

False in my experience. Full-time job? After the initial learning curve, a simple 2x redundant Prometheus poller setup on can last for a long time. Ours lasted for 30,000,000 timeseries until encountering performance issues. After that, we

So did you indeed loop over every possible frequency? I know I attempted a Goertzel-based pitch detector once, where I looped over frequencies and picked the one with the largest magnitude. I picked 25Hz and 4200Hz as my limits (from a pian

OK, fair enough. A MIDI file would contain the musical information necessary to generate any notation. Thanks for the reply. I see indeed the link to the Mcleod pitch method paper is dead. I'll see about hosting it in a git repo.

Interesting project. What do you think of https://github.com/sevagh/transcribe ? It seems like in your project the word transcription isn't referring to sheet music transcription?

by sevagh 7y ago
Bizarre that people keep mentioning their "guitar tuners" that use Goertzel. Are you looping over every single possible frequency? You should be using real fundmental frequency estimation/pitch detection algorithms ([1], [2])

You speak of them with such disdain. Is that a common attitude in your company?

Agreed - some of the best communication, interviews, and offers I've got came from SO jobs. It's the first place I look as well.
