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
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.
