simply knowing that "MIDI baud rate is exactly twice the PAL horizontal blanking frequency" is an infohazard that may tempt you into actions that have the potential to destroy your vintage CRT displays and thousands of dollars of synthesiser equipment
@jk MIDI = Musical Instrument Display Interface
@olsner @jk MIDI = Much Invest Destroyed by Incompetence? Or ...Ingenuity?
@jk is this what happens if vblank isn’t accounted for?
@jk
I'll just leave this here
@sol_hsa @jk This kinda reminds me of when I was trying to figure out the most optimal amount of memory to save for running a memory test against the remaining memory, and I kept seeing the golden ratio—where the memory under test is always /b/ and the memory for comps and scratch was /a/ and the total was /a/+/b/, so the ram under test was the bigger quantity in the ratio, which was great. I didn’t say anything because it seemed too crazy & out there, but I did use it, after testing it on hundreds of configurations ,and it might still be used at a certain company that’s building and testing server machines. I don’t think it’s some universal, but just a fun baseline that happened to work.

@joriki @jk if there isn't a backup, that's not your fault. Unless your job includes making the backups.

@yarndragon @joriki Unless the server in question was holding the backups…

… and you were accessing it to restore them after the once-in-a-lifetime freak disaster that destroyed all working copies at once…

@jk this probably explains all of Electronico Fantastico

@jk Could you provide use with a list of useful sysex commands to send ?
@jk was that intentional?
@jk
low tech midi visualiser?
@susul 2x625 resolution, sub-yar's-revenge graphical experience
@jk
That is oddly specific. Almost as if you were talking from experience 🤔

@jk explain

Do we hook up MIDI devices to old TVs and blast our tunes into them?

@jk @forestine If this knowledge ever gets you into trouble, I have a cord that will solve your problems
@jk @kaybee335 that’s the kind of informational entity that Scientific American called a “Data Prion”
@jk
Its ok, not like they use the same connector... Oh wait..
@lisamelton
@jk This should be CW with "memetic hazard"
