Microtonal music throws all of that out the window.

Logic only works in the context of definite ontologies. But audio frequencies are continuous, not discrete. It really is all vibes at the end of the day.

Plug for Angine de Poitrine for a contemporary example of music that breaks the rules that define traditional music.


"Things that have never been done before in software" has been my entire career. A lot of it requires specific knowledge of physics, modelling, computer science, and the tradeoffs involved in parsimony and efficiency vs accuracy and fidelity.

Do you have a solution for me? How does the market value things that don't yet exist in this brave new world?

Works fine for me on mobile.

Using Chrome? Firefox and derivatives is a no-go.

Do extra work in step 2 because you got lazy in step 1 is not my idea of efficient or complete.

You can only correct for missing entries by doing the same work you’d need to start from scratch. But after that you now have a second list to consider.

Even before the evidence of deterioration, I'm not sure the safety culture at NASA would reach for that any time soon when a single high-temp event would work.

interesting; obviously kerbal space logic does not apply to the real world... thanks for the explainer as to why

Like if cars measured fuel efficiency or range using the knobs in the tread on your tire.

So you've saved 30 seconds per customer for a total of 3-10 customers calling per day.

Yes let's all revel in the sunlight of Enlightenment thinking. That's really going well.
