You cannot create music on the audio hardware that comes onboard a PC or Mac.
I'm new to the area. Where can I buy the drugs that you're on?
I know more than one producer who uses plain old audio. Most music software has a "Render to audio file" feature that bypasses the audio subsystem completely. This removes one variable from the equation, and is thus preferred.
Google hyper-vacillates between creating new garbage that nobody wants, and retiring old garbage that people need.
And yet, Google doesn't even offer a telephone number to call in the event of account-related problems, such as account lockouts, hackers, etc. Google's account "recovery" mechanism amounts to asking you to provide a bunch of details you either don't know or don't remember. If you fail to do that, Google's response is "try again, harder."
Is it worth trusting a company that has that type of customer support strategy? Want to pay Google $10 per month for 1 terabyte of Google Drive storage, and hope you'll never, ever need Google to intervene on your behalf, in response to a problem with your irreplaceable data? Want to take the same gamble with your domain names?
I will NEVER use Google to "manage" my most important assets.
Richard Garriott (of Ultima fame) is running an interesting challenge to port his very first RPG computer game, written in BASIC on a teletype connected to a PDP-11, into a web-friendly or Unity version. https://www.shroudoftheavatar....
In my 25 years of professional programming experience, I've noticed that most often, most programming problems are caused by improper implementations of the separation of unrelated concerns, and coupling of related concerns. Orthogonality is difficult to achieve in many programming exercises, especially regarding cross-cutting concerns, and sometimes the "right" way to code something is tedious and unusable, involving passing state down through several layers of method parameters.
It's more profitable to pay a civilian to build a drone than it is to pay a soldier to remain enlisted. Soldiers require expensive maintenance and upkeep, and don't have much money to put back into consumerism. Civilians are expected to maintain themselves, and put nearly all of their money back into consumerism.
Oh shoot. I'll definitely not be getting the new Mac Pro then. I was hoping my next computer would justify putting a rack in my living room, right next to the Cray I bought on ebay.
Oh, thank you. As a Macintosh people, I now understand myself much better. Thank you for your pithy post.
A RLC near me gives tickets to drivers who make a right turn on red, if the cars fail to COMPLETELY stop COMPLETELY prior to the intersection painted lines. On a daily occurrence, I see several drivers get tickets because they came to a complete stop INCHES past the intersection painted lines. In no rational universe would a police officer ever give a ticket to any of these drivers; yet, the municipality is collecting several thousands of dollars each day due to such minor infractions.
Has science or technology revealed any secrets recently that would change how you teach these topics? For example, when I studied electronics as a kid, the theory was that electrons travelled through conductors at almost the speed of light. I think it's now well know that individual electrons actually travel through conductors quite slowly.
But then you need to rely on the Referer header to find out where the user came from
There's this web technology called "query string parameters" that can be appended to any request for a resource on the web. A query string parameter containing a site identifier is more than enough to correlate with an etag identifier.
It's shocking to discover that the government can actually accomplish anything, as opposed to wasting $800 million in taxpayer money with nothing to show for it.
It's hard to not take you seriously, with a 4-digit user ID and all.
As a programmer, I'm pretty sure you're wrong.
Joel Spolsky has famously stated that he prefers software engineers who come from highly accredited universities, preferably Ivy-league. His thought is that one has to distinguish oneself in order to be granted admission to such places. Do you think that Joel's opinion, and those of other elitist employers, will change with the introduction of free, quality online education?
Prof: So the American government went to IBM to come up with a data encryption standard and they came up with ... Student: EBCDIC!"
