Not to be that guy, but Massive does FM via the modulation oscillator, though it's only 2 operator FM. Also to continue being that guy, it doesn't actually do FM at all, but Phase Modulation, which is what the DX7 (and later emula

Every major DAW already does this- 32 bit float is standard for internal processing, and quite a few of them support import/export of 32 bit files as well. Some even work at 64 bit precision internally (Studio One and Reaper both come

They've got fairly aggressive automated systems for identifying and flagging material that's registered with rights-management agencies. It works for both individual tracks and material featured in mixes. I've even had my own

Since the later 8.x versions, Live has had a "reduced latency when monitoring" option which allows you to do just that.

This is anecdotal, and I haven't worked there for close to 5 years, but back when I was at a mall Apple store, our store was clocking more revenue per square foot than any other store in the (upscale) mall. If I remember correctly, it was b

I think you're referring to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_fundamental Which, since it's a psychoacoustic phenomenon, wouldn't hold true when the partials involved are above the audible spectrum.

Sort of puts arguments about "leaky abstractions" in the appropriate perspective. Even assembly has a lot of turtles holding it up...

I don't like this kind of mocking because usually, I don't care what methods are called internally, I care what the outputs and side effects are. There's almost always a better approach than expectations.

Wow, I just checked my apps, and sure enough, Bing was authorized. I, too, have never used Bing. That kind of scares the hell out of me.

This is fascinating. I think a really interesting project for someone (other than me) would be to collect each image, and have a whole bunch of people rate each one on a subjective scale from, let's say, 1 to 100. Then, draw a scatter plot

This is just fantastic- great reporting, and in my opinion it would elicit the appropriate degree of moral outrage in most reasonable listeners. I hope this kind of exposure is at least somewhat helpful at raising people's awareness outside

Not sure if you've ever checked it out, but the seattle.rb meetings on Tuesdays at Vivace on Broadway are usually well attended, and both Aaron Patterson and Eric Hodel are usually there. It's like having a superstar Ruby/Rails team at your

Lifetime Seattleite, never had a problem with the rain and capacitive touchscreens. I know I'm just one data point and all that but it's not a common complaint AFAIK.

It's... really stressful. I had coworkers who still have dreams about it, years later.

If you are a heavy computer user and have never had a hard drive fail, then you are in the extreme minority. That's like living in a city for 20 years and never getting a cold.

This may be partly due to the infamous "dubplate culture" intrinsic to the Drum n' Bass scene, and later the Dubstep scene. Back in the late 90s it wasn't uncommon for certain gigantic tracks to exist as exclusive dubplates given to only to

That's exactly the point- since they're holding off on upgrading their OS, potentially for a much longer time, they won't even have the option of updating their web browser. An OS upgrade is a much more monumental decision than a browser up

Honestly, nothing too crazy. What drove me nuts as a Mac Genius was the opaqueness of the engineering and support organization- we were on the front lines diagnosing and fixing customer issues, and we could do escalations, but it was still

ActiveRecord was never rewritten in C. Twitter's problems stemmed from the fact that they had written a realtime messaging system, but designed it like a microblogging platform. The design wouldn't have scaled well, regardless of the techno

Wait, did you say Facebook? If that isn't representative of the problems Myspace is facing, I don't know what is.

Your password file is still encrypted, so would-be attackers would still need your master password. As for developing a cloud solution... who knows. Maybe they considered it orthogonal to the goals of 1Password to develop and maintain that

3 and 5 are corollaries, and probably the most useful points in the article. It's so easy to get caught up implementing customer requests, especially when they wave money at you. It's much harder to stick to your guns and/or distill their r

Not only that, but they have a pretty consistent system of deprecating then dropping outdated APIs, at least in Cocoa.

To my knowledge, XMLHttpRequest Level 2 isn't supported in any shipping version of IE. I haven't tried IE9 yet, so it might be available there. When building the actual production uploader for onehub.com, I drew a line in the sand and decid
