I think ALSA would be better if it had actual documentation for more than like 10% of it.

@aeva Did you see
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76714223/alsa-midi-getting-precise-timestamps-on-input ?It seems to explain this, I guess.

@jens @sixohsix @mcc ok let's rephrase the question: "I have a set of packets that have time stamps. Half of them have a known interval, but have an arbitrary uncorrelated origin. The other half have an unknown interval, and an arbitrary uncorrelated origin. In both cases, the origin can randomly *change* while playing. How do I put all of these into one common reference frame?"
The answer of "ALSA uses one of your system's clocks internally!" does not answer this question.

@aeva @jens @sixohsix I think RtMidi's solution to this is "each MIDI source/sink has a different, internally consistent but uncorrelated timescale, and you figure this out yourself" and it's been a real long time but I *think* CoreMidi uses the Darwin kernel's monotonic clock but they had some of the best audio programming engineers ever work on keeping it consistent…? Frankly I'm not sure there's a better solution than RtMidi's because the API doesn't know your program requirements

@aeva @jens @sixohsix In a sense *MIDI itself* is supposed to be the solution to this problem, you're supposed to connect all your equipment via MIDI cable and *the MIDI protocol* is what puts everything on a single clock with a single origin moment. And then we replaced MIDI transport with USB which not only unsolves the problem but probably adds additional timing uncertainty.
Maybe MIDI-2 solves this, but I don't see anyone using it and I'm concerned about the requirement to register devices.

@silverpill@mitra.social Actually, there's the official one: @lobsters@mastodon.social.

@molly0xfff hey molly - maybe a dumb question but where does this money actually go? I don't really understand how money gets spent to put an ad on TV and who takes a cut. does it go from the PACs to local TV networks? big broadcasting conglomerates?
I'm aware i could google this, but maybe you have a post on it you could recommend?

They are stupid wealthy. That's good now. Money has made them dumb.

The cryptocurrency industry super PACs dumped $14.2 million into the Illinois primaries. 90% of that – $12.8 million – was wasted, in that it went to opposing Democratic candidates who won their primaries (Stratton in the Senate race, Ford in H-07) or supporting their opponents.
Their only victories in the state were where they contributed money towards outcomes that were already highly likely. They opposed Robert Peters (H-02), who had been polling in third place and ultimately received 12% of the vote. They supported Bean (H-08) and incumbent Budzinski (H-13).

So, the new Firefly is a prequel. Or a midquel, between the end of Firefly and the beginning of Serenity. Which feels pointless, to me. Like, it's pre-spoiled.
I get the urge to get fan favorite Alan Tudyk back as Wash, but...I'm just not interested in that story? At least not interested enough to watch a cartoon.
I'd prefer it if they picked up right after Serenity. And, I'd love it if it was live action and picked up 20 years later. That's an interesting story that I'd watch.

@evan Do slippers worn around the house count? If not, then I'm at 1. Otherwise, with slippers I voted 2.
BTW -- what is "fewer than 1"?
