> You refer to perfect pitch and absolute pitch like they're different things -- do you realize that they're the same thing? Are you referring to someone else's comment? I use them interchangeably in the first paragraph

Sure, I just wanted to point out the phenomenon of conflating it with musical talent. I'm not suggesting it's an uninteresting concept or isn't worthy of thought/discussion

There's a strange preoccupation with perfect pitch. It's not very useful today since there are inexpensive electronic and mechanical tools to give you absolute pitch. It wasn't even that useful previously. I believe that peop

I've tried a lot of programs but always come back to using a low-tech Gmail draft. In this particular case, the advantage over gist is that you can edit it offline on mobile (I ride the subway) and it syncs automatically

There are a couple of subreddits geared towards algorithmic music ( http://www.reddit.com/r/algorithmicmusic and the more general http://www.reddit.com/r/musicprogramming ). Definitely cross/p

Yes, I understand the intention of that site and conventional thinking on the subject. Thank you for assisting in my description of an alternative

Yes, I understand that. The fact is that people drink and do drugs. Smart people, stupid people. That's reality. This is a "thought experiment" that teaches cowardice, IMO

No doubt. This list isn't supposed to be indicative of what's being written in general-- it's about what code is on github.

You're right that it wouldn't be the 48th most common word to begin a sentence. Still, it's not uncommon enough to warrant not prefixing it. This goes for "stats" as well...

"Get" is the 48th most commonly used word in US English. This seems like excusably poor engineering not to prefix commands with a character like $. Granted, I'm not a Twitter user so maybe there's a reason?

It's not something that's easily perceptible unto itself unless you get into very radical inconsistencies. As an example using arbitrary numbers, a quarter note would be 500 ticks one time and 493 ticks the next and so on... It can be measu

Total hypothesizing and speculation here but... I work with audio and music software (in which timing accuracy is a major component). Timing accuracy 20 years ago was generally far, far better than a modern PC. The Atari ST is still the g
