Them being able to offer this service, and them proxying 30% of the internet are completely unrelated. Any other company could offer this scrape protection if they wanted, with roughly the same cost of entry.

You can hate cloudflare all you like, but only a certified dumbass would try to pretend this feature is somehow enabled by their market dominance…

To answer your question without being a dickhead: The given x indicates the point on the curve you need to find the slope at. In other words, find the derivative and then evaluate that function at the given x.

Loved my QC25s until they broke. The new versions are a pain to keep charged…

Mocked up a super rough example to try this: https://metronope.bickio.me/

Here’s a super rough demo: https://metronope.bickio.me/

Yeah I’ll code this up today and send you a link

This is similar to some popular exercises for improving your internal pulse. E.g. having the metronome drop out for a number of bars while you’re playing.

My prediction:

On its own, it would be hard to derive the underlying pulse. Even a trained musician would take a little while (my guess is 4+ measures). In the context of a song it would probably have little to no effect.

I could probably test this if anyone’s interested

You misunderstand what a learning curve means. The x-axis is the desired level of productivity/proficiency, and the y-axis is necessary knowledge/skill. A steep learning curve means you need a lot of knowledge/skill to even be slightly productive/proficient, making the learning process daunting for new users. A gentle learning curve means you get rewarded throughout the learning process with frequent productivity/proficiency gains. A “cliff” means there will be a long period of learning with little to show for it until the end.

Yes

Originally? Probably lack of options. These days the aim of the game is sounding “like a violin”, so naturally there’s very little innovation in violin technology.

Violinist here.

Violins make sound by dragging the bow (stretched horse hair) over a string, causing the string to vibrate. At the micro level, the bow pulls the string to one side using friction, until the tension on the string pulls it back - this happens hundreds of times per second, and forms the basis of the sound we hear. Horse hair is slippery by default. To create the necessary tension violinists apply a small amount of solidified tree resin by wiping a piece along the length of the bow. This piece of hardened resin has the same approximate texture as glass or hard candy, and is called rosin.

If you’re moving away from text formats, might as well use a proper serialisation tool like protobuf…
