Le_SDT··on SoundCloud is here to stay
You could have a monthly fee and decide what percentage of it you want to go to specific artists. If you listen a lot to an artist the app could ask you if you want to transfer some percents from one artist to this one. That is a feature that I would personally love to use.
Le_SDT··on Get started making music
I moved from Cubase to FL two years ago. I'm in love with the patterns in FL!

The only thing I really miss was the feature in Cubase where you could add effects to an audio pattern in a destructive way. You could create really complex and glitchy patterns and it was easy to mix them together (cross fade and such).

The other thing I would love ImageLine to do is a better workflow when you use audio samples directly in the sequencer. Things like fade in and fade out and a much bigger zoom overall in the sequencer to move samples around.

Edit : I know you can work with Edison but it isn't intuitive imo

I think puns in the comment section belong to reddit
Le_SDT··on Why I Don’t Talk to Google Recruiters
I think Valve works a bit like that from what I've read.
Le_SDT··on Integrating GTA V into Universe
Imagine an RTS or something similar where you play with an AI and he learns your behaviours. He tries to help you. At first you deny what he does, he learns, do something else. A bit like the beast in black & white!

SteamDB's status page could be more interesting. Every server is down. https://steamstat.us/

There must be some kind of reward for doing this. Maybe there's a study about this kind of behaviour.

But I get what you're saying. I feel the same. But like I said, there must be a reason.

I'm no marketer but nobody want to read an ad for fun. You have to shove it onto their face. Even if you are angry, now you know about the product and the idea of buying it might get to you later on. I guess it is something along those lines.

I'm curious. What do you mean by "Human vision is completely overlooked"? Are you talking about color perception? 3d rendering?

Thanks :)

Le_SDT··on Steve Miller: The Whole Music Industry Is Fuckin' Gangsters and Crooks
I do not agree with that. When I produce music of coarse I feel good with what I did and of coarse I enjoy listening to it. The art is what makes me happy. But god I would have loved to make money with my passion. Some people are passionated by numbers, some by art. In the end it's a product and if you want to make money with it it is fine.

Props to their oncall team!
Le_SDT··on What is the Higgs?
Very good presentation for someone like me with no knowledge in physics but still facinated by all those discoveries! :) Thanks
Le_SDT··on iPhone 5c
Apple breaking the scroll bar themselve? Could the site instead gives a real scroll bar experience on desktop and give this "tablet-style" scrolling experience to tablets/phones only?
Le_SDT··on Outlook.com is down
Well it's been down all morning in Quebec, Canada... shows an error page, no way I can read my mails from their website
Le_SDT··on Cosmologist claims Universe may not be expanding
I know what you mean. But an object of 1Kg today would still be 1Kg in 1000 years since everything gained mass (that includes what you are using to calculate the mass)... but like I said in my first response I am in no way the best person to give an answer to this question (still I lost karma :P). It is just a subject I find interesting!
Le_SDT··on Cosmologist claims Universe may not be expanding
I am not sure to understand your question, it has been said in the article that if everything's mass was increasing proportionally we could not test it since we have to compare two things to see an increase. But I am no physicist I don't know if there would be another way actually to test mass increase without comparing two objects.

Such a wave travels at well over 800 kilometres per hour (500 mph) -quoted from wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsunami
Le_SDT··on Agent 008 Ball
Cool thanks! I should remember it :)
Le_SDT··on Agent 008 Ball
Was fun :) I found a bug. You have a feature that gives you the possibility to do the next shot while your white ball is still moving. Well, if it is the case (you see the stick and can shot) but during that moment the white ball gets in a hole, the game doesn't give it back to you like normally. Sorry for my english, I don't know the English expression for (loose the white ball in a hole) ^^
Le_SDT··on What is the rule for adjective order?
Yes many words have different meanings. It can get confusing. I can't imagine someone speaking a foreign language learning French :)

BTW I would be interested to read if someone shared his experience.

Le_SDT··on Recorded mouse positions replayed over music video [NSFW]
Well, I didn't express myself correctly, I agree. I meant, for the purpose it has, it's just random but a NSFW or 18+ thing would have solve everything :) btw if there was a 18+ note I didn't see it. The NSFW has been added after I made my first comment, too.
Le_SDT··on What is the rule for adjective order?
Just for the fun of it: In french, we often put the adjective (like red, in this case) after the noun. The building red (La bâtiment rouge)

And in your particular case, where we want to also tell it is big, we do: The big building red (Le grand bâtiment rouge)

But we can't do the following: The red building big (Le rouge bâtiment grand)

Different language, different grammar :) French is one of the most difficult language for these I think, a bunch of exceptions. It makes the language more "lovely" to hear but less "effective". Here we say English is made for business, it is one of those languages that just gets to the point fast and clear overall :)

Was fun but the NSFW part is ... too much
Le_SDT··on Facebook Home
Yes I get your point, mine was simply that they seem to really target women, for whatever reason :)
Le_SDT··on Facebook Home
Funny how the video contains only women... <sarcasm> like if facebook was the only site most women would go on</sarcasm> :)
Le_SDT··on Next Big Thing, a HN-like site for music content
Thank you for this :) It is sometimes hard to connect with new people and stand out. Created my account and posted my stuff as Psy Conversion !

EDIT : I liked the sign up experience, that was really quick, kudos for that !

Le_SDT··on Some People Really Can Taste The Rainbow
I don't know if it is an English word but it's part of the French language as "to have a chill" or I don't know the correct expression/word in English :)
Le_SDT··on Some People Really Can Taste The Rainbow
On my side it is just colors bursting out just like the winamp hehe. But sometimes, when I do very heavy/intense parts in my music, I try to imagine how well it would fit a firework final hahaha, sounds and special effects must be well placed, I don't know how to describe it better :) and I can imagine the positionning of everything related to the fireworks or colors, depending how I feel at the time I guess haha
Le_SDT··on Some People Really Can Taste The Rainbow
Same about the frisson part :) When the melody is well done and unpredictable on first listen... this can become a drug, the need to find new music to get this feeling
Le_SDT··on Some People Really Can Taste The Rainbow
I remember people asking me if I took drugs when creating music since I make psychedelic trance overall hahaha. I never took drugs but it's funny how I enjoy music in a similar way to people who take psychedelic drugs. Mine is more analytical but in the end we all see shapes and color. :P
