I turn it down straight away for being Russian and I'm suspicious of anyone that mentions it positively. Russia is in a cold war with democracies in general and a hot war with Ukraine. It has an autocratic dictator as leader and stat

I guess what I'm saying is that Gantt charts have been tried before, they aren't novel or new. Your suggestion is hundreds of years old. So I would definitely take that bet against you. One of the issues is that Gantt charts don&

Can you give a specific example of a drum patten you think can't be represented with music notation then? Since you mention Drum and Bass, here's the Amen break in drum notation: https://www.elephantdrums.co.uk/blo

Haha! I've been using Ableton since 2007, it's not something new or secret. You can use a scrollable chart to display notes on screen and still want printed music for live use. I'll bet you that if your friends are profession

DAWs have been around for a few years now. If you were right and they really were 100 times easier to comprehend people would you not see people using printouts of piano rolls to read from? What you’re suggesting is actually hundreds of y

First review with that as a title: ”Beware, this is just a general book of modern music theory masquerading as a guide specially for the bell or whistle player”.

No, I don’t think so. Human memory is well known to be unreliable. There’s a clear difference with “he said, she said” type recollections and what Apple is doing. People forget things and they get things wrong. There may indeed be no expect

Aha! OK I can respect that. There's definitely something satisfying about a product that's both cheap enough that it could be disposable but well designed enough that you actually want to keep it forever. I think that Jobs would a

In the nicest possible way, are you in the wrong thread? This is about a new folding phone not the watches. (I am glad to hear you like your watch though. Casio are classic).

That really bothers me. It might be legal for Apple to do this but it's still creepy as fuck. They're still recording everywhere and sending a transcription to iCloud and they're doing it without consent. This has the same v

Why do you keep saying need to store enough power for the whole winter? Unless you live in the arctic circle you're not going to get six months of darkness. If you're generating 4x to 5x your required energy in summer you don&#x2

There's many a true word said in jest. Like this passage from Red Dwarf: > Mr and Mrs Rimmer were very religious, taking the Bible scriptures at face value. The Hoppists were primarily concerned with a particular verse from the Ne

I'm thinking less about shame, as corporations are dead to shame, and more about proof the TV stored a record of your bank details it got from text to speech. If that's stored as text inside the TV and you lost money because it wa

In an age where AI can search vast amounts of data having something in your home or workplace turning what it hears into text looks like a problem waiting to happen. E.g. As soon as someone proves LG, Samsung, etc. recorded and stored credi

Sorry I’m not quite following what point you’re trying to make. Throughout my life the cost of renewable energy generation and storage has been dropping exponentially whilst growing in capability. That’s been happening for decades now. The

I think it will change. China is currently trying to take control of the whole South China Sea. They’re in a cold war with the Philippines and Vietnam. Next it will go for Taiwan. Then either Siberian or Indian territory with the same “thes

It would still take more space on the page to represent the same amount of music which is also important. Many people have tried to replace standard notation, over several hundred years, and no one has yet come up with a compelling alternat

I think the argument is that it gets harder to recognise tonal intervals the further they get apart on the stave. When sight reading chords pianists, for example, don't really think about every note in the chord. Instead if you recogni

This is actually covered in the video. It's the "we should use a chromatic scale" argument and is surprisingly old. The answer to why people don't use a chromatic scale is also in there. Very roughy, it's harder t

Indirectly related his video on music notation itself, "Notation Must Die: The Battle For How We Read Music"[1], is really good IMHO. > Many people feel that western notation makes it unnecessarily hard to read music. If we wa

No but they are available at very reasonable prices in prime locations. If anyone's interested I have a very pretty one listed in Brooklyn. See my Google search ad for details. :P

I worked at a startup where a new architect decided everything needed to be split into micro services for “scaling”. Thing is we were in an illiquid market that didn’t require the kind of scale he envisioned. Long story short we burnt a hel

So the hardware is capable but the Linux distros aren’t quite there yet? Fingers crossed for them then. I love the idea of a Framework laptop but I’m only interested in Linux performance.

I like Linux and used it as my daily driver for a long time but I find I’m addicted to macOS’ ctrl-scroll zoom feature as my eyesight deteriorates. I’ve not found anything that works as smoothly for Gnome. So I keep going back to macOS wit

I love the film but for a long time I really disliked that Ridley Scott changed the plot. To me Scott's idea that Deckard is a replicant but doesn't know it is just weak. Even the idea that they would make a replicant hunter that

Almost no body does rambling well. In journalism it’s called “burying the lede” and is the most obvious sign of a poor writing, IMHO.

The same is true for Vladivostok but Xi seems pretty relaxed about that.
