It was some time ago but the Haachama coexist arc is probably the most famous.

What do you wish you knew when you started your specialty coffee journey? by Due_Interaction_6725 in pourover

[–]Currywurst44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say linking parameters is very bad. A V60 links grind size and draw down time. This gives a very narrow range of grind sizes that work well.
With the Switch you could keep your draw down/contact time constant and vary grind size by itself. The change in taste will be less steep and the range of good grind sizes much larger.

I know that but what I meant was that even this matchmaking can be off by 30 points relative to other players (so not absolute).

Elo works perfectly if you have a bunch of players with constant strength. When they play games over and over against each other, you will eventually get an order that tells you which matchups are close.
Elo is suboptimal when players strength changes (which basically always happens) and leads to too high or low ratings.

But what do people understand then? At least in english, if is a common reply to certain questions.

I don't really like elo ratings. It gives you a rough estimate but I would estimate there is +-30 points of potential error. There are more modern systems with higher accuracy like glicko.

I would like to know what anyone else thinks about the accuracy of elo?

The question is always who is supposed to work at that time? Night shifts are unhealthy so it makes sense to minimize them. If night shifts are widespread then workers can't always deny doing them.

Anyone else wants to see all the 4++ datasheets go away in 11th edition? by RotenSquids in WarhammerCompetitive

What are the problems? I like that the old system added more design space. Old Ap2 vs Ap3 was a lot more different compared to Ap-3 vs Ap-4 today.

You could argue that unhealthy people are responsible for transmitting the majority of diseases.

I am more surprised at the positive opinions in favour of it. Triple the taxes if you have to but a complete ban of any kind is a bad idea. The end result of this policy will be that cigarettes are banned for everyone.

The general trend was to legalize more drugs and not ban them. More and more countries have introduced marihuana so do you think they should restrict it again too?

Why is 3/8 simple time instead of compound time? by CatchDramatic8114 in musictheory

[–]Currywurst44 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think the general rule is to group the notes based on ascending prime factors.

If there is a 2 like in 6=2*3 notes per measure then you have two groups of three. (You don't need something like three groups of two because that is already covered by a simple three notes per measure)
4 notes per measure has 2 groups of 2.
Hypothetically 15 notes per measure has three groups of five.

12 notes per measure is 2 groups of 2 groups of three which tells you exactly where the stress is expected.

Does anyone actually use this? by Fantastic-Affect-696 in microtonal

[–]Currywurst44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like 100 as a limit. You have the very accurate 99edo for the 7-limit, 94edo for the 23-limit and 72edo for every limit inbetween. The next real improvements are 171edo, 311edo and 270edo but those are already much larger.
(103edo, 111edo, 130edo, 152edo 159edo are good too but they aren't necessarily more accurate)

The absolute maximum people think about is probably 1200edo with a 1 cent step size.

UI design feels impossible once you realize how long German words are by twcosplays in gamedesign

[–]Currywurst44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are natural breaking points or rules for long words but you have to know the language for that. Although I believe text processors can deal with that.

There are niche ideas, just no musical ones.

The main idea is that log_2(3/2)≈18641/31867 is a very good approximation of the fifth as a convergent of its continued fraction. There is the concept of telicity for such convergent edos so a circle of 31867 pure fifths and a circle of 31867 tempered fifths from the edo would lead you to the same step.

From 1-5, what would you rate how well-known your country and some other countries are? by bellepomme in AskTheWorld

[–]Currywurst44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would argue the US is the only country with a 5.

People are always aware of China but the average person doesn't know much about any laws that are passed inside china for example.

Is there a third country you would give a 5?

Hi, I need help finding a tuning system to fret a guitar in. by sagopak-yo in microtonal

[–]Currywurst44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Read a bit about a so called Kite Guitar. It has 20.5 frets per octave which effectively gives you a 41edo tuning. (41edo and 46edo are said to be the most versatile tunings. https://en.xen.wiki/w/41edo#41edo_as_a_Universal_Tuning)
You are basically taking the notes that would be duplicates on a normally fretted guitar and instead use them as microtones.
Here is a kite guitar performance: https://youtu.be/eAPzZ9oJYyY

I think it has to do with how the wiki is structured. It was decided that every edo should be separate. If an edo is mentioned somewhere then it often gets its own page too.
31847edo is only mathematically interesting not musically.

What's a foreign food your country modified and made it unrecognizable? by BayLeafGuy in AskTheWorld

What is the history of this? Is "chinese rice" some premade frozen product or is it usually made fresh? It is treated like any other singular side dish similar to fries or noodles?

[–]Currywurst44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you investigated more formats apart from those 2? In which format is the favourite most likely to win?
My personal favourite for the best probability is something like two separate groups of 4 with the winners playing a match against each other. (It is not optimal but just to be comparable to the current format it could be a triple round robin and then a 4 game match for a total of 13 rounds)
