Great advice and also don’t sleep on wfmu.org for music discovery and all around refreshingly non-corporate experience

That’s a very effective restatement of their premise. I guess the next question is: what happens if this Bob is also many times faster and efficient than the Bob’s we’re used to? In the same way that it works in development but under production load new categories of problems emerge.

we have the same bookshelf apparently! have you read any other non-fiction greatest hits tomes, like Power Broker?

just discovered it this year; cannot believe i went this long without knowing about it.

also the web 1.5ish site and comments board brings me a lot of joy, reminds me of the spirit of the earlier web, in keeping with the free form nature of the programming itself.

everyone should donate if you listen!

no, equality doesn't have to mean sameness

what’s toxic about it? sincere question.

it’s not about bringing down a culture as much as raising up other ones to equal prominence.

just use shopify slate and github

well at the very least the technique has been packaged/marketed as “torrefied wood”, and i think that’s what is being referenced here

the worst is when they make an announcement but you can't understand it because the speakers are so jacked and you watch the doors close as you're try to piece together whether you should stay or go...

i dont know, an hour, two hours late? what do you expect, push notifications when the headlining band is tuning their instruments? show up an hour or two late and at worst see a little bit more of the opening band or a little less of the main act.

just show up later? the person you're trying to see was one of those opening acts once

likewise Lonely Woman by Coleman, at least to my ears, fits in alongside more “normal” jazz, except maybe for the plastic sax tone

maybe so (they fooled me) but you were already prepped to scrutinize them. To the point others have made, we’ll soon need to be constantly prepared to assume fakery.

the technology of fakery is rising the meet the “everything is fake news” moment

that's a good and totally fair point, but which should come first?

but local ads on local content are legitimately useful and the only type of display ad i’ve ever clicked on.

possibly always was, but definitely is mostly a fairy tale now. not that people won’t or shouldn’t strive

but you’ve changed your mind?

is there that much of a difference? how much? poster used the word "accent" but to my mind that includes regional variations in the language, not just the sonics.

the nice thing is that you can easily split that line up as much as makes sense, should you decide you need to access some intermediate form of the data. and you can use the variable names as a comment that explains what that chunk of transformations represents.

so someone reading over it can kind of skim down the left side and follow what's happening and scan to the right if they need to understand some part in detail

I never really properly learned TDD and always felt a bit bad about it. Then I discovered this side effect (or primary effect) of FP and felt like there was no real need for tests. Not sure if I'm just rationalizing but the ability to drop into the data flow and make changes or add features with confidence makes programming so much more fun.

It's a very long reverb, probably with an EQ either in the reverb effect or after to roll off all the high.

Go to a guitar store with a lot of pedals or check out the Knobs videos on youtube. Find one with a long reverb time and a tone control.

This could work too: https://www.eventideaudio.com/products/plugins/pitch-delay-m...

Doesn't seem like there's any shortage of white men in any of those roles.

i strongly disagree with this. half of my posting history on here is evangelizing FRP in javascript (in my case via bacon.js).

it has dramatically reduced the amount of time i spend on these and many other sorts of problems. honestly it makes programming way more fun. maybe haskell is a bit extreme for most situations but the concepts are not.

thats fair but I always found soundcloud's stream compression to be pretty bad. I think maybe it got better recently but there was a long time where it sounded like ~128kbps or less, particularly on stuff with cymbals, etc

it's difficult; you need to carry them or take a cab, and it's especially hard to buy for multiple meals and in the quantities to realize significant savings that outweigh the meal kit convenience.

as we got busier our 1-2 weekly home cooked meals dropped to once per every two weeks, and my partner loves cooking and she's very good at it, never thought she was the audience for a meal kit.

she ended up getting a job at Plated. Now we cook 2-3 times a week and end up spending more time together as a result.

the cost is not trivial (and of course we have access to employee discount) but it's certainly less expensive than almost any take out meal in NYC.

i don't know what the long term situation is like but i could see it always doing well at least in a city like new york

last i checked death is being disrupted by the blood of the young and innocent

what's an example of a trump supporters are evil? keep in mind that demonstrating that someone is uninformed, perhaps willfully, is not the same as evil.

i think what is appealing to me is the idea of playing unexpected combinations of sounds of one another. and it's the drum example in particular that really caught me.

you can certainly make weird sounds with existing synths, but interpolating rhythmic sound with a harmonic sound is different to me in that the resulting thing is more rooted in a musical context and can work with other non-neural elements more easily.

for example, once you get some sort of intuition for how sounds might meld, you could compose a "beat" made up of samples (maybe drum sounds, maybe not) in the "left" side that is tailored to interact in certain ways against the "right" (i'm referencing the UI in the abelton video).

people might trade their "seed" sounds, or they might keep them close to the vest!

probably you could use max msp to do stuff like this already but i'm imagining that the "left" sound itself being thought of like an intuitive signal processing algorithm.

it's like second order sampling. you can find pieces of audio and, rather than use them directly, as today, you can create a third sound that probably can't be deconstructed back to the original.

might not birth a top-level genre like sampling did hip hop, but i think once someone puts it together the right way, and once processing power allows them to go beyond some the limitations described, it will really open some new avenues

this is awesome. this is the kind of thing that spawns entire genres of music that didn't exist before. a lot of the demos sound terrible but as the modulation and drum examples allude to, it's going to be super weird and interesting when more disparate sources are interpolated. I can't wait to figure out how to "break" this.

i spent 10 years building a project studio and optimizing the workflow and patch bay so that i can be recording almost any instrument within 30 seconds or so. that was a huge breakthrough and a huge commitment!
