Ok. I get it. It's just a log scale with a magic number thrown in probably to match a certain curve.

Well not quite but here is a bit of detail http://www.animations.physics.unsw.edu.au/jw/dB.htm posted:For instance, suppose we have two loudspeakers, the first playing a sound with power P1, and another playing a louder version of the same sound with power P2, but everything else (how far away, frequency) kept the same.

baby puzzle posted:This isn't really programming. What's the formula to increase or decrease the volume of something by a given amount? Multiplying a waveform by 50% doesn't make it sound literally half as loud. I'm completely failing to find the words to search for what I'm talking about. An increase of approximately 10dB corresponds to a perceived doubling of loudness. I don't know why FL Studio chose -12.7 dB to be half volume instead of -10 dB, and googling isn't providing any answers. Is 25% volume -25.4 dB or something else?

Yeah, my thinking was that it was probably arbitrary but didn't know if someone knew the inner workings of FL Studio to say why that decision was made.

Curious what everyone listens to when they code. My typical stuff is either classical, EDM, or video game soundtracks but I'm starting to get bored of all three. Any suggestions for Spotify playlists or genres to checkout?

I can crank out some pretty good coding sessions with cheesy power metal (Kamelot, Dragonforce). I'm going to put on some Dead or Alive today in memory of Pete Burns  In the electronic genre I've been been listening to a lot of Shpongle if I'm in the mood for a beat or Conelrad if I'm in the mood for more ambient. Sigur Ros is pretty good "Hey there's music happening and I don't have to worry about attention drifting to understanding lyrics"-music.

Music I've heard literally hundreds or thousands of times before, so it takes up basically zero brain time while still providing a useful audio mask and rhythm.

I stream radio in a foreign language I'm idly learning. Most of the banter is just white noise to me, occasionally I feel good about catching a few words, the music(largely english anyway) is eclectic by US standards, and poo poo I don't know I can concentrate anyway?

you 1) suck it up and learn to appreciate music that is different than your usual tastes, like my amazing j-fusion, 2) put on headphones, 3) work in the soundproofed phone booths for extra space if needed

The only jobs I've had where music was played music all day involved manual labor. I can't stand programming and listing to music though, unless I'm wearing headphones and using it to keep me from being distracted otherwise.

My musical universe expanded a ton when I worked somewhere with a similar sort of setup. Of course, most people just listen to pop, but I learned to appreciate that too instead of being a snob about what was my preferred genre. Though, maybe not everyone can do this. Personally, I don't care about music much at all and I can go weeks and realize I haven't actually listened to any music at all.

My office is on the same floor as our guitar department, and I'm forced to listen to students practice all day in the halls. It's infuriating. Or there was that summer job in a supermarket where they looped the same mix CD every day, and they still play it 16 years later. Just requested a copy of 'The Hatred of Music' by Pascal Quignard. I have a feeling I'm going to like it.

The gym where I lift weights plays the most godawful teeny-bopper pop station in town. I've cut workouts short and left the third time the latest Talyer Swift song comes on in an hour. If I had to listen to that all day at work, I'd be climbing the bell tower with an M1 after a week.

That's the problem I have with pop radio...the constant repeats. I don't mind the pop music itself. Fortunately, in none of the places I work do I find myself being subjected to the torture of having to listen to Closer by The Chainsmokers every 15 minutes. edit: oh, this is a programming thread

Pretty sure there's zero chance of the office going for it. Maybe I should start a lil in-office gbs.fm so whoever wants to listen communally can do so. Any suggestions for the least painful way to make it happen? Maybe it's a little harder now with streaming services than it was when everyone had mp3s to upload.

Im trying to build a script in MacOS to save the contents of a text file to a variable, but when the filename has spaces in it, cat doesn't seem to work. I get a "No such file or directory" error. What I dont understand is that if I echo the filepath variable and the cat filepath line everything looks good. I can even copy and paste the echo cat filepath output, and the cat works correctly. I have no clue what Im missing here. code:

Instead of calling cat, you should just be able to redirect the file into another "read" call. Bash: code:

You need to enclose the path in quotation marks. Which you're doing, but I suspect that bash is stripping them for you. So trycode:

Ok, new question. I am trying to create a function that will take the results of 4 check boxes and, depending on which are marked, define a variable as a number. The number will be different depending on which boxes are checked. More than one can be checked at a time. Is there some way to do this without a huge block of if..then statements?
