I just listened for the first time, and yeah, it's well presented for a general audience, but I was completely unable to believe that they thought that the steps they took in their search made logical sense. It's like the reality

You're right, it was 10 days, not quite weeks. It's not important but here are some of the miscommunications and apologies: November 18: "The cloud server which hosts one of our database, db141, experienced a disk issue. As a

I don't know. When OP describes their community of "furry queer hackers," I can't help but notice that the link to the autism spectrum goes overlooked. While it's very good to find one's people, it's dange

The article asks two different questions, one about the decline of the instrumental hit and one about the decline of the instrumentalist, and doesn't go far to answer either. I'd be interested to see a breakdown of the instrumenta

I agree it's a good anecdote. It clearly still resonates with professional instrumentalists. But popular music has progressed so much since then that 'jazz theory' is unequip to grasp the complexities of modern recorded music

There's no one 'music theory perspective'. Why not analyze it on more axes? - Rhythmic patterns and variation - Interplay between instruments - Instrumentation and arrangement - Structure - Vocal style - Lyrics - Recording an

How complex is a song that can be played on entirely different instruments without re-interpretation? When I think of complexity I think of unreconcilable elements that force the transposer to make tough decisions ("intentionally putti

I find it hilarious that he concludes the Sergio Mendes recording is "the most complex pop song ever" rather than the obvious takeaway that when a song is simple enough, most of the specific notes being played aren't importan

Jacob Collier is an interesting example because the general response I've seen to his music from music fans is that it is too "smart". It's impressive and novel to music academics (and apparently the Grammys) but hardly

Honestly this article makes me happy to be young. So many useless practices and attitudes, once brought down on us and simply accepted, now in the trash heap of history. Hopefully next up is 'the pledge.' I'd love some "

Yes the value of the site was much more clear when it was primarily a way to demystify references and slang in rap lyrics - in the same vein as Urban Dictionary. But since then rap lyrics have gotten simpler and the site has expanded. It&#x

Look up Ken Silverman's Voxlap engine from the early 2000s. It was most famously used for the game Ace of Spades 0.75 from 2011. It had very basic graphics and I remember even at the time it was advertised as being able to run on anyth

I watched it a couple years ago at age 19 and didn't like it (rated it 1.5 out of 5 stars according to my stats). From my memory: - The all-macho, no-internal-monologue protagonist is really dull and dated. The one liners are lame, mos

As someone who isn't 'wired for math' (but still knows my fractions, so to speak) I can't imagine putting math up against literacy. Reading is so fundamental to both communication and learning. Why do you equate the two?

As someone who apparently frequents much more pretentious online film circles than OP, the idea that the highest rated films and shows on IMDB represent the "best" of the mediums is kinda silly. The article uses Star Trek (2009) a
