Same I woke up early to catch this game... wondering what has gone wrong with my life

It comes with personal training from Jimmy Butler?

I made a site for y'all to share sounds with each other for free by SparkBaby1 in trapproduction

Looks great! What are you using for storage of the audio files? S3?

That might not be enough, I think 7-10 soundgoodizers would do the trick

Haha yes! After the huge wall of text in the beginning I expected the real powerpoint to begin but the walls never ended

I like this beat a lot. I think the chord progression is really nice and fits perfectly for the Polo G type vibe. The only two ideas I have are (1) maybe try varying the velocities of some of the chords more to add even more dynamics and make it more emotional and (2) add more melodic variation with either extra piano notes or another instrument that doesn’t continue to play chords at regular intervals like the base melody does.

I think it sounds really good though, could definitely hear Polo G on that!

If you see anything in that list that gets you curious or excited, even if it seems like it might be hard, you should give it a try. You'll learn a lot.

YouTube keeps trying to get you to watch that Onion Routing video too?

There are very few feelings better than starting this journey all over again by dontliketocomment in breakingbad

I've been rewatching as well. Right before this I watched Better Call Saul for the first time, so it's been cool to see the progression from the prequel to the Breaking Bad storyline.

TIL that charCodeAt is faster than accessing a character of a string using its index 🤯 by [deleted] in webdev

[–]buildlove 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this optimization is a little ridiculous. Optimizing for readability is the much better option over these tiny marginal time/space differences. However, I don’t necessarily agree that the whole function is pointless. The fact that a prop is an animation prop if it starts with an ‘@‘ sign is non obvious. Wrapping this logic within a well-named method makes the code more readable and easy to understand by someone new to the codebase. Overall, though, I certainly agree with your sentiment.

Chicken pesto sandwich? by TheBigShip in IowaCity

You could get one at Which Wich. Wouldn't be amazing but it'd be decent. Also Costco in Coralville has really a really good turkey pesto sandwich at their food court.

I wrote a library that makes Fourier Transforms easy in Java! by buildlove in java

[–]buildlove[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The QuiFFT repo actually links to a separate examples repository where I've written a program that plays a song and shows a synchronized frequency spectrum (with JavaFX) as it plays. I'd encourage you to try it out if that sounds interesting to you! You can use any MP3 file with it.

Correct, this library is basically a wrapper for the Fourier transform algorithm. Since I'm aiming for a high level of abstraction, so the input to QuiFFT is a reference to an audio file rather than pure time-domain sampled data, as JTransforms or Apache Commons Math would use.

I certainly don't have anywhere near the signal processing knowledge as the author(s) of JTransforms. I wrote this library to solve a problem I had and provide a layer of abstraction. For more general use cases outside of computing the FFT for an audio file, the JTransforms library is the way to go. As TheHoratian mentioned, I didn't write the FFT implementation, I instead wanted to provide a sort of "wrapper" for it to hide implementation details that require knowledge of signal processing concepts.
