Alright, thanks a lot :)
Are you talking about "Fundamentals of Musical Acoustics" by Arthur H. Benade? I'm interested in buying the book, but I'm not sure which one you mean. Do you perhaps even have the ISBN?

The language reference has a section about naming identifiers https://ziglang.org/documentation/0.14.1/#Names
Re:Listen to what gets lost when an MP3 is made (2015) on Tuesday November 19, 2024 @06:47AM (#42182406)
This produces an error in version 7.1 for me:

[AVFilterGraph @ 0x6000008b59d0] More input link labels specified for filter 'aeval' than it has inputs: 2 > 1

[AVFilterGraph @ 0x6000008b59d0] Error linking filters

Failed to set value '[0:a][1:a]aeval=val(0)-val(1):c=same' for option 'filter_complex': Invalid argument

Error parsing global options: Invalid argument

I'd love to try it :)

But it seems like the server is not reachable.

In what way?
Re:Elk OS – Audio Operating System on Tuesday May 25, 2021 @04:25AM (#27274331)
I recently played on an electronic drum set and it was absolutely fine with headphones. But when we hooked it up to the speakers across the room there was a very noticable delay (~5ms as we calculated) when hitting the pads with the stick.

Since I only used acoustic drums until then I never gave much thought to the idea of having your drums sound delayed. It was quite eye opening.

Now that sounds like an accessibility nightmare :P

I asked a similar question on StackOverflow recently.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64049757/are-swiftui-com...

According to the website in their comment it apparently stands for "Tension Myositis Syndrome (TMS)" (https://www.tmswiki.org/ppd/An_Introduction_to_Tension_Myosi...)

Not really on-topic, but I have to say that I really enjoy the audio narration :)

It's well recorded and the music is not too loud either.

Well, you don't have to open the link in a new tab.

You can see the planned releases in the milestones on GitHub: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/milestones

I would say at least two more years then.

Well, to be fair, Elms WebGL interface is surprisingly easy to use.

Re:Commit messages guide on Saturday April 20, 2019 @10:26AM (#19706661)
Having properly separated and single-purpose commits is awesome when running `git bisect` [1] — especially with automatic tests. As well when you revert said commits after the offender is found.

Re:Don’t Get Clever with Login Forms on Friday February 15, 2019 @03:31PM (#19174438)
I made a custom password manager a while back [1] where I used the MutationObserver API [2] to detect when a field is unhidden or newly added. I mainly did it to deal with iClouds login flow. The performance of that could probably be improved by figuring out the container of the login and only attaching the observer to that. But the whole thing was never really finished and I eventually forgot about it.

I rembember the same thing on some other website I visited a few months ago, it's absolutely horrible. Imagine the face of the engineer that was told to implement this.
It's nice to have this when you need to debug issues which only occur on certain versions. A good example would be the recent change of the c++ addon api, which caused my code to crash on some installations while it worked fine on others.
Re:Shadow DOM enabled in Firefox nightly on Tuesday May 29, 2018 @02:27AM (#17176911)
At least in chrome you can enable "Show user agent shadow DOM" in the Settings. I don't know about other browsers, sorry.
