@fronx That's great. Didn't expect the api to expose those. I worked on a nearest neighbor music clustering project years ago and all the features were hand input. By far the most time consuming and subjective part.

@petedevnull It's helpful for parents too. Don't have to organize a sitter, etc.

@FanuFatgyver I upset my kid with this one last night: what kind of fish always tells you "no" twice?
Tuna.

@BartWronsk It's a great time for sure. Started checking Bandcamp Daily and it has filled a void of music discovery I lost when forums and net-labels waned. Even genres I would normally not check have expanded my interests through interesting backgrounds and stories.

My kid is taking a nap which makes it a good time to record another excerpt from an unedited studio session: https://t.co/WQOhuoiXg9

Intrigued by this domed shaped spider web we came across on a hike.

@xnationdnb @JimEarlGrey My point isn't that there is no risk and we shouldn't try to be even safer but that the magnitude of risks you are comparing are not of a similar scale. And you are not accounting for transmission rates from one demographic to another.

[Nic Taylor @NicTVG]

@xnationdnb @JimEarlGrey 0.3% is huge. That's 1 in 300 vs about 1 in 75k. Like 1 kid per school vs 1 kid per city. Consider:
- You don't transmit the side effects of a vaccine through the air.
- Hosting a virus leads to mutations.
- There is suspected higher risk to young people with the delta variant.

Picked up a number of albums from all kinds of genres because of @Bandcamp daily and recommends. Here are some of my favorites:

@Atrix256 "What are fish..." made me chuckle. For a time, it seemed my feed was full of investigations related to underwater/whale sounds when I was looking for room acoustics papers.

[Nic Taylor @NicTVG]

@dannthr Or in my case, you turned the wrong burner on... again because the dial to burner diagram is a UX failure.

@fronx Well this just halted my procrastination. Thanks for the reminder.

RX De-click on breaks for 45s: Been using this more but still find it's a fine line between getting crackle out and leaving transients (especially sharp rides).

This is my book https://t.co/qt7T9iTjAo

[Nic Taylor @NicTVG]

@petedevnull I release digital as soon as I activate Bandcamp, vinyl presale or not. This is what I prefer as a consumer of music; when the release is ready, I want to hear it. So I'm not going to enforce arbitrary limits on our fans. I can trust that the vinyl will sell regardless.

[Nic Taylor @NicTVG]

Of course Twitter swapped the links on me. The first link is the clearer example.

[Nic Taylor @NicTVG]

I think my lighting friends would enjoy seeing how the etching in a vinyl record can create a rainbow in the grooves or even a holographic-like effect (2nd video):
