I find assembly rather sexy, but I come from an electronics background and assembly is very much like playing with CMOS logic and rather intuitive for me. I also love forth and other stack based langu…

https://github.com/pedrozath/coltrane Has gotten me thinking about AI for teaching music theory, but I really don't think it is there yet, music theory is far to fuzzy for A…

Wouldn't assembly be the winner? Think about all the energy spent compiling, how many millions of times has gcc been compiled just so it can compile tcl millions of times just so it can interpret…

I am rather conflicted by this site, while it is aimed at ESLs and was created by ESLs those who created it seem to have an inflated view of their English skills and lack understanding of the poetics …

The accepted term for this would be method, learning by doing which is the opposite of theory but generally provides part of the foundation for learning theory. Learning by method is the way the vast …

They were marketing them to parents with children who had a tendency to sneak onto the computer at midnight to play LORD when the BBSs reset and everyone got a new turn. Lost my computer privileges mo…

I did not say that at all. This programs relation to theory is about the same as the relation between numbers and calc, while numbers are very important to calc you are not learning or using calc by u…

>at least until Monday I think we have at least another week, they are going to follow the outcome closely unless something else comes up they can talk about. Decent chance that SVB/Silvergate…

For the average person it means they will have to hear about it constantly until the next big news item takes its place.

A teacher is by far the best way to go, failing that The Complete Musician is the best book/source I have seen for self study. The problem with self study is that the basics of harmony/triad…

It is a chord and scale library and does not show how those things relate or present them in a way conducive towards study of that. If you know how the information this app provides is related then yo…

The 4 buttons are just mouse buttons 1-4 so many applications can handle mapping them to different uses themselves. I did change them globably when I first got it and I was figuring out how I wanted i…

Startups will learn to manage their money a bit more wisely, probably about it.

The wrist support on the Kensington does look weird and uncomfortable but it is quite nice, I left it in the box when I first got it but found the trackball very awkward to use so I gave it a go. That…

I also have occasional wrist issues from a long ago broken wrist, touch pads don't help a great deal, better than a mouse but not great. I find a trackball to be much better, I like the Kensingto…

Mostly a fluff piece but gives a good rundown on the architecture of the MOS6581.

Apple had 1bit sound, forgot about that, so just a square wave, was thinking it was a piezo. Think the piezo came a bit later, I remember it on DOS machines but I was quite young back them. C64s SID c…

Old computers had hardware synths (ICs like the C64s SID) or piezo speakers which where simple to interface with. But you can do this, you just need to use a DSL made for synthesis like SuperCollider.…

Have a vague memory of such a story, sounds like something Bradbury would have written.

A job should be what enables you to do those things in life which are important to you, not be what is important in your life. Which is not to say a job should not or can not be important, just that i…

I don't think I could call this theory but it is useful.

I think most here are sick of online political bickering and reducing everything to buzz words, which is why most such comments are ignored or downvoted. But maybe I am being an optimist and deluding …

How do you suggest one should raise the narrative voice?

I was not talking about capsule types which you seem to be conflating with sensitivity. The 1khz/1Pa test is nearly useless on its own and generally in the studio when the engineer says this mic …

CAT6 would not last on stage for very long, even the robust heavy cable and connectors used on stage need to be regularly repaired and replaced. The expense for most of the stuff used on stage is in m…

It is not difficult to get good clean sound just about anywhere, just use a highly directional mic with poor sensitivity, which is what headset mics and the mics journalists use for field work are. It…

This is terrible, Mozart (sort of) in the style of a music book for 5 year olds.

I suppose it depends on my relation to the person, if I was hiring a personal chef I would probably go with master of one assuming what they were a master of was cooking and if I was hiring a handy ma…
