I am halfway through, been mostly banter. So far the criticisms they offered of the paper and ChatGPT apply to their podcast, which provides a semi-interesting meta-analysis but has not offered much i…

Right, definitely implementation detail. In a DAW meant for the recording studio there is not much editing, you are dealing with full tracks for the most part and massive amounts of storage for all th…

Two separate clips will require extra operations during playback. A simple split or copy will also require extra operations but not as many. While these do not seem like a big deal, they add up and as…

If you split a few seconds off of a couple long files and then joined those two short clips, how would it read that join in a way safe for low latency realtime audio? Pretty sure that would get hairy …

Most of what a DAW does are not edits, they are operations applied to a stream; they only create new files when you do actual edits. They do make it clear when a new file is created. In my experience …

I suspect there are a great many, Tcl/Tk makes it a very easy project but once you start using your editor to edit the code for your editor you realize you can edit your editor while you edit in …

Audacity is not about simple audio recording and editing, it is about linear editing and can be more suitable than a DAW when it comes to heavy and complicated editing but it requires a different work…

Audacity is a linear audio editor and you sound like you were trying to use it as a non-linear DAW, which feature bloat and undo/redo sort of but not really lets you do. A media manager does not …

I am guessing the reason this went 100 years without being proven is because it was an argument against the player piano and not an actual question that needed proving? Any competent pianist can demon…

I think ChromeOS has been slowly making the merge for awhile now, hence the chrome store being killed and replaced by the android store. Everytime I updated my Chrome book over the past year or so it …

It sometimes ignores it when the results are poor but generally all you need to do is add something to the query besides what is in the quotes (context) and it will handle it properly and give better …

That does not seem to work with best seller lists or billboard top 100, etc, why should it work here? The consensus is just the consensus, it does not take into account my interests in gaming; granted…

I think Alan Kay deserves the credit for the tablet. We have vague allusions to tablet like things before Kay but it was Kay who really came up with concept.

This does not really address drills, the tool of interest to the woodworker, it is an advertisement for impact drivers and hammer drills, shop cordless drills on Amazon! What should you buy? Doesn…

Being a hobbyist programmer and humanities sort, I can't see the purpose in this and I can not tell if it is a fault of mine or the author's. From my perspective it seems contrived and tryin…

This is part of what ruined gaming for me, just picking a game to play became more of a commitment than the game itself. In the 90s it was simple, swing through any of the stores that sold software on…

I don't think any single person did, they just went with what ever way best suited the hardware/language it is being implemented on/with and the needs of the language being implemented.…

Only a few Fender amps have good noise with the 5C1 wide panel Champ being king and the 5F1 narrow panel Champ being a close second. Silvertones beat them out but there is too much noise for most.

70 meters is not actually the limit as this article suggests, I know the Duluth/Superior port receives 80 meter blades which are then trucked out and I think they plan on going bigger but don…

I suppose it is possible you got one with 7 bad encoders but chances are updating the firmware will fix it. The contacts in the new encoders loosened up over time more than the old encoders and the de…

The encoder issue was fixed with a firmware update, they switched encoders and did not quite account for how they would work once broken in. I had one of those Blofelds for awhile, bought a second bec…

But they are not the same, if you are a musician going to bars and practice spaces and the like that $300 Blofeld will handle the abuse and accidents much better than a laptop or tablet. No matter wha…

There has been an increasing trend in the use of up votes as likes instead of user moderation which results in worthwhile discussion sinking to the bottom and stuff like this being at the top and sett…

They are used for all sorts of things we eat, corn nuts, hominy, grits, corn meal/flour and all the things those are used in. Personally, I find it far more palatable than sweet corn and it is fa…

I found the music a great fit and I would not have enjoyed it as much without. I Would have closed the window if it had been Ride of the Valkyries which is far more generic and overplayed for me than …

If you actually care about what time it is you need at least three so you can average them and knock out the error. The Beagle carried 22 when it also carried Darwin, in the nearly 5 year expedition t…
