This regex that took about 10 minutes to generate was amazingly effective and helped me earn my highest ever daily rate https://gist.github.com/dr-kd/d43c884fbac0089d8523

I believe that these days Dexed is the preferred environment for people who make presets that they're subsequently going to play on an actual DX7, it's that good.

Back in the early to mid 00s I did quite a lot of work with R, the well known statistical software. There were some pretty specific techniques I had to use to google how to achieve things with R at the time - basically knowing where the mai

Title is wrong should be "horrible edge cases to consider when dealing with recorded music metadata". The reason I say this is that I was writing some code for a sequencer that outputs musical score recently (basically glue betwee

The whole argument feels a bit People's Liberation Front of Judea to me. On the other hand I do have strong views on the matter, and I am pretty certain that my views are pretty close to the correct ones.

If you have a nasty nasty difficult to find bug that emerged some time ago, and your history is littered with merge commits, git bisect is going to go badly. If your history is linear, and your data model is compatible with itself across h

I had a detailed discussion with a former colleague about this the other day. They're in the merge camp, and I'm in the "any code that actually makes it into the wild should have a linear history" (rebase) camp. Merge c

To be honest, I should do a little bit of experimental steaming rice in my stove top pressure cooker and see how that goes.

Oh man, when I spent 3 days in bed with covid earlier this year I managed to kill a great deal of time getting deeply into Uncle Roger's rice cooker based comedy. It's only funny because it's all true!

My household rice cooker is a Tiger (also a higher end brand, not as flash as the Z). The people here swearing that cooking rice on a stovetop is fine don't take their rice seriously enough (although if it works for them etc). I&#x27

Nah mate, when it comes to rice, Australia is an honorary part of SE Asia.

These LLMs are confabulation machines. They're as good as the knowledge of the person who is driving the current session. For coding problems this makes them like a very good teddy bear debugger, but do not expect independently produ

I don't have this problem. Reaper, microphone + sax, occasional other woodwind and occasional keyboard. If I write code for music it'll probably be in puredata or perl (day job). Puredata for (generative)? sequencing and audio

I've done a lot of work on MERGE queries recently. For postgres I suspect that self updating CTEs that report back what actually happened are maybe a better idea.

My former piano teacher tells me that these non-traditional systems enable people to learn specific stuff fluently and quickly but it engenders various habits that are difficult to unlearn, and limits people's development. Personally I

We moved a business from splunk to ELK a couple of years ago. The actual work of doing so took less than a day. The maintenance processes changed, and some things are not as good. But aside from the beefy machine we run ELK on it costs n

I've been hearing about this for a long time - probably since the late 1990s, so I'm surprised to see that it seems only in the last couple of years that there are phase three trials. I would imagine that the safety profile of MD

Aye, if you grab a home gardening in the tropics book if it's a good one it's going to give you info on how to deal with the amazingly fast carbon turnover.

Yep, combination of Steve and Roland totally defined what the "heavy" sound is for me, and mostly nothing since Big Black has come close. One of my favourite bands (The Crooked Fiddle Band - check them out) have a very dense acous
