Hey everyone,
I've been working on a collaborative audio, MIDI, and video editing web app for the past few years and I'm excited to show you what we’ve built so far.
Sequencer Party is a collaborative audio / midi / video web platform. It supports WebAudioModules 2 (WAM2), a third-party plugin format—like VST plugins but for the web.
The demo session linked in the post is running a live-coding Javascript MIDI sequencer plugin. Press the ‘code’ button on a plugin instance to edit the running Javascript. Hit ‘Run’ to run your code changes. If you log in, you can save your session or individual plugin presets and other users can load them into their sessions.
It’s collaborative like Google Docs. Sign up, invite people to your project, and you can edit the same session together in real-time. Without an account, you can run an offline copy, and it’s saved in your browser's local storage. When you’re in an online session, the code panel is also collaborative with everyone else in the session.
The post link goes to a public session you can clone into your own project if you sign up, but if you want to join a collaborative online session with me, here is a link to a project I made that we can hack on together:

We’ve got a lot more planned for 2023—more instruments, thousands of factory presets and sounds, run the video in a separate window for VJing or render the audio/video to a file.
Thanks for checking it out and let us know what you think! It works best on a computer (not phone) in Chrome and Firefox.

Note, the easiest way to start with WAM2 is likely to look at demo plugins

same experience. the only person who used it in earnest was the head of HR. For lower tier employees it was much worse than a given X number of days - they had to request the time off from their manager and could (and were) denied taking time off.

If you ever took the fur off a furby you'd know it was pure sky net underneath

hey just saw this, sorry - I think I watched the most recent full course for CSS and then the 2 or 3 hour course on flexbox. As well I watched the start of a few courses on website design.

I experienced 2-3k employees on a slack server. it was terrible. 99% of the traffic is noise, 1% was critically important information for me to do my job.

Same can be said about every company, acquired or not

I took a few courses from Lynda.com to learn more css. It helped immensely and was free with my library card.

The WebMIDI standard has a problem, which is that only the main UI thread can talk to the WebMIDI devices directly. So even if you schedule your MIDI messages in the audio thread, to emit them on the hardware device you need to pass them to the main thread and then emit the messages from there, incurring whatever delays imposed by the main thread as it handles user input

Around 2012-2015 we had someone on-call over the holidays do a redeploy every few days because of Rails memory growth at our now-IPO'd ecommerce giant.
This growth impacted every rails app back then, the popular ones more quickly is all..

This is simply not true, because Twitter algorithmically pushes content you did not subscribe to in order to drive engagement. You do not have control over what you see, and are subject to the controversial subject of the day regardless of who you follow.

OP don't listen to this unless you care more about your employer than yourself.

.. which was the only feature set when litestream was released. Replication was added later and now removed.

So, I don't have a source to back this up, and without a source this will be worst of the rumour mill, but I'll say it anyways in case someone has a source to back it up or refute it.
A few weeks ago it was explained that Facebook is telling affected people they are no longer on the team they were on before, and they have X weeks (4?) to apply internally and find a role on a new team. So you're not fired, you just don't have a team and failed to find a new one, so.. see ya?
