I’d say it’s more like your hairdresser tracking how long you are in their store and what haircut you get- but you do you!

Bingo.

He knows he’s not getting Canada. This is part of his Flood the Zone nonsense. Don’t fall for it.

This is the distraction you’re meant to be paying attention to- watch his other hand, that’s where the damage is going to come from.

Me? Not at all. Unless you meant the comic strip thing, then yeah. I suppose I could see that.

Being bad at a lot of things doesn’t bother me a bit. I’m good at other things. And some of those things, I’m even great at!

I do get that joke, but that’s probably because I’m of the ASD persuasion.

Ahhh! I get it. Okay, yeah. That’s funny. 😄

I really wish I knew what the joke was. 🥺

Seems like programming isn’t too dissimilar to giving a child instructions.

Try being a music major.

As a “normie” I’d never assume to understand even the most basic of programming. My head hurts to even try and come up with a joke involving the subject.

Ahh. Makes sense that it can be automated. Same as with audio engineering. Though I like to normalize by hand sometimes as automated normalization tends to make a track sound lifeless and dead.

Ahhh. So you have automated processes that will handle it as well. Just plug in the ranges and it does its thing.

I’m starting to understand why programmers are always so angry…

Ahhh. Because it’s alphabetical? Like how “eleven” comes before “two” alphabetically?

I’m assuming that normalizing digits is similar to normalizing audio? Where you take the numbers and assigning them all a blanket set of instructions?

Normalization in mixing audio essentially takes a track and adjusts the volume of the track’s peaks to keep them from clipping the volume threshold.

Is it like this?

So that’s the joke then? That someone chose to alphabetically sort numbers?

Fair point, but how does it reconcile that 11 and 12 comes before 2?

(Admittedly, I know nothing at all about this stuff. I’m a music major and I went all in on that, so I’m genuinely curious)

I pressed the demo button on a keyboard in a music store once.

My second album will be out next month if anyone is interested.

Is that an actual sentence?
