Can't believe they shut down the whole department and your team, this project is lit!

I'm wondering how Apple will regulate server-driven UI, but that's the future.

Thanks a ton for the article!

Hi everyone, Anatoli is here, the author of SQL Habit.

Problem: SQL is a language of data but many resources out there teach it on examples that are far from reality of a modern Internet company.

Solution: SQL Habit teaches SQL from scratch with examples from a fictional Internet company. You'll start from 0 and learn about how data helps this fictional startup to solve day to day challenges in Product, Marketing or Business departments.

After 6 months of building and 600 commits on Github I'm really excited to share SQL Habit with HN! Looking forward to your feedback (+ it's Black Friday sale)!

That's a very cool suggestion, added "Sandbox" mode (next to existing "Survival" one): https://makaroni4.github.io/guitar_bro/

Thanks for a good feedback! Btw I've added Sandbox mode where one can practice without restarting the game every time. I hope Sandbox and lower BPM will make the flag a bit greener :)

Here you go, I've added Sandbox and Survival mode you can choose from. Is "Survival" the right word to indicate that game has "health"? (I'm so far away from gaming haha)

Sorry, my bad. I meant you can't set FFTSIZE higher than 2048 and we need at least 8192 to identify notes correctly (at least in Safari). Does Firefox allow higher FFTSIZE than the default?

Thanks for the amazing feedback, when developing the game we were singing all the time! :)

Yep, I'll add sandbox mode today/tmrw!

Yep, it works only in Chrome (it should show a note in non-chrome browser).

Problem is only Chrome allows tuning FFT precision now.
