How Does Timecode Vinyl Work? (Pt. 3)

news.ycombinator.com Jan Claußen 2025-10-17 05:09:18

How Does Timecode Vinyl Actually Work? (Pt. 3) Since its release in 2011, the Traktor Control Vinyl MK2 has sparked curiosity among digital DJs and audio developers alike. Its timecode format stands apart from Serato’s, which we explored in the previous posts. With the MK2 system, Native Instruments introduced a more advanced timecode that boosts resolution and accuracy by applying advanced cryptographic techniques. In this post, we’ll break down how it works at a basic level and how Mixxx is

AI’s coding evolution hinges on collaboration and trust

However, its large size and unique architecture, which uses Multi-head Latent Attention (MLA) and Mixture of Experts (MoE), require an advanced system for efficient serving at scale.

Turning Claude Code into my best design partner

RFC 9839 and Bad Unicode

Unicode is good. If you’re designing a data structure or protocol that has text fields, they should contain Unicode characters encoded in UTF-8. There’s another question, though: “Which Unicode characters?” The answer is “Not all of them, please exclude some.” This issue keeps coming up, so Paul Hoffman and I put together an individual-submission draft to the IETF and now (where by “now” I mean “two years later”) it’s been published as RFC 9839.
