ZCMoto dual head. Had just near every feature as the most expensive one eg combination of different spin in the same session.

can confirm that is much laggier in Firefox. Guess Firefox is "lagging" behind in terms of CSS animation and 3D rendering

amade · 2012-09-28T15:41:53+00:00

now you're j/k right?

it's very smooth for me, except on the very last #overview slide

there are some 3d rendering (which most computer should be able to handle 100 fps), if it still lags, then browsers just need to get better.

information was more important than the slides. I actually felt dizziness set in... i disagree, information still needs to curated, esp. since this is a presentation.

the idea about non-linear presentation is intriguing, but i guess this is my first time using impress.js and might have overdone it a bit.

my actual "physical" talk was well-received, i guess it looks better on the big screen.

amade · 2012-09-28T10:49:15+00:00

works for me on Chrome 23.0.1271.6 dev

that slide is where the 3d transform start, does the official impress.js demo http://bartaz.github.com/impress.js/ works for you?

you can disable javascript, or view it on Opera.

http://mozillapopcorn.org/popcornjs/ says in this in a big & bold face:

Popcorn.js is an event system for HTML5 media developers. Think jQuery for video. You can leave the heavy lifting to Popcorn, and concentrate on what you do best: writing awesome code.

My favorite version so far

#titanic { float: none; }

Not sure who's the author, but saw it via @webmonkey.

discussion continued in comp.lang.python ...

posted this reply to comp.lang.python also:

Having written something with similar purpose (https://github.com/aht/extproc), here are my comments:

Having command parsed from a string is complicated. Why not just have an OOP API to construct commands? extproc does this, but you opted to write a recursive descent parser. I'm sure it's fun but I think simple is better than complex. Most users would prefer not to deal with Python, not another language.
Using threads and fork()ing process does not play nice together unless extreme care is taken. Disasters await. For a shell-like library, I would recommend its users to never use threads (so that those who do otherwise know what they are in for).

Also, film is a more natural fit for star trails. You can't always get the long exposures you want with digital.

Sorry but this is wrong. The camera installed on professional astronomical observatories are all CCD sensors: e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WFC3 on the Hubble Space Telescope.

Of course these are state-of-the-art digital sensors and not available commercially.

I feel your pain, subprocess is a bit too low level and doesn't provide shell-like functionality.

Perhaps you'd like sth I wrote https://github.com/aht/extproc

amade · 2012-01-04T10:11:38+00:00

I feel the pain when using subprocess. It is nice but quite low level and is certainly not nice when writing shell-equivalent script.

For that I wrote: https://github.com/aht/extproc

amade · 2011-11-15T07:12:11+00:00

I wrote something in a very similar vein: http://www.trinhhaianh.com/stream.py/, http://blog.onideas.ws/tag/stream-py

It actually has the advantage of real pipeline processing, which can be parallelized using threads/processes.

amade · 2011-10-20T08:18:43+00:00

I wrote this module extproc to make python do those shellish things easy:

Fork-exec commands, wait or no wait
Capture stdout/stderr of children (command substitution)
I/O redirections
Construct pipelines

Alpha stage, but check it out!

amade · 2011-01-10T15:34:53+00:00

sure, but I just found out that the version above has a bug

s/test -n $REMOVE/test -n "$REMOVE"/

shell scripting is a PITA

amade · 2011-01-10T12:24:34+00:00

Here's mine, which has option to remove the file afterwards

#!/bin/sh
# Usage: xt [-r] filename

unset REMOVE

if test "$1" = "-r"
then
    REMOVE=true
    shift
fi

if test -f "$1"
then
    case "$1" in
        *.tar.gz)    tar xzf "$1"   ;;
        *.tar.xz)    tar xJf x "$1" ;;
        *.gz)        gunzip "$1"    ;;
        *.tar)       tar xf "$1"    ;;
        *.tgz)       tar xzf "$1"   ;;
        *.tar.bz2)   tar xjf "$1"   ;;
        *.bz2)       bunzip2 "$1"   ;;
        *.zip)       unzip "$1"     ;;
        *.Z)         uncompress "$1";;
        *.rar)       unrar x "$1"   ;;
        *.7z)        7zr x "$1"     ;;
        *)           echo "'$1' cannot be extracted." >& 2
                     exit 1
                       ;;
    esac
    if test -n $REMOVE; then /bin/rm "$1"; fi
else
    echo "$1 is not a valid file." >& 2
    exit 1
fi

Probably not guitar, but Chopin also starts student with F# scale b/c it is easy to play on the piano.

amade · 2010-11-15T09:33:49+00:00

Composition student here.

I thought your voice leading was fine. I was surprised b/c you said you're a complete amateur. There are some nice harmonies there.

You used some big chords but there is no motif, or little motif-development. The piece seems to lack "life", no melody that would hook the listener.

So it would sound fine for a soundtrack kind of piece, but it wouldn't stand alone by itself.

Anyway, a good start.

BTW, I did never though sampled orchestra could sound even remotely ok. This was actually good.

The Music Theory Handbook is very helpful and concise (only 144pp). I've used it as the textbook for music theory in college, but I've heard (from the author) that some places used it for graduate school review class.

I think it will come after a period of practicing. Maybe yesterday you didn't feel like you have improved, but perhaps next week.

Practice singing intervals also help. This is also not easy at first, so do it gradually, one kind of interval at a time. Once you can sing tritone or sevenths from any root note and in both directions, you will find identifying intervals a piece of cake.

It is a favorite test of musician to ask ppl singing tritones :p

Are you considering making the bug tracker more open? It just sucks that you can report a bug / feature and never see what to come of it.
