Before doing any slowing down and looping I'd make sure that I know the chords for that section. It's easier to hear if a certain note is in the key (harmony) or not (dissonance), thereby limiting the available choices. Also it might be easier to identify an interval than a single note.

Knowing some theory definitely helps. If you can find a transcription as sheets or tabs that'd be a good idea for reference, even if they're not always correct.

Having this context, it's usually enough to slow down the part in the YouTube player. I use New Pipe, no ads and speed/pitch are separate.

For a more detailed analysis, Audacity is great for loops and zooming. It's quick and easy. However, looping a single note can sometimes be deceiving, so I'd also loop a few of the notes before and after just to get some context.

Getting the clip into a full DAW can also help for very tricky sounds. Running it through a pitch correction effect can show what it detects. This works best if the clip doesn't have a lot of other things at the same time. Another method if you have a midi keyboard is to play along with a basic tone like an organ or just a sine wave. Program the melody into the midi sequencer and you'll basically have it transcribed. This is also great for long weird sections where it's difficult to remember everything. Might as well write it down as midi instead of on a paper.

They're improvising the whole thing.

It's method acting.

Everyone from the lowest LARP'ing ICE agents to the orange faced chief of clowns have been in role for so many years that they all forgot what reality is outside of their theatre of the grotesque.

I disagree. The pointlessness creates a liminal space.

If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough.

A lot of it wasn't genuine.

Most of it was written by three kids in a trench coat pretending to be Chuck Norris.

This looks like a perfectly ordinary round about to me, except for them driving on the left. It doesn't have multiple car lanes.

The round abouts with multiple car lanes are indeed confusing to some people, and the ones I've seen all have the bicycle lanes offset to make crossings further from the center or dug out under the road.

This site shows a pretty clear picture of population demographics for countries/continents with both past and future projections. Some places are more fucked than others.

win an argument

Is that your idea of what a conversation is?

People can have conversations, dialogue and small talk without having to constantly confront each other with arguments.

Even in case you'd want to discuss something or persuade somebody, argumentation is usually the worst approach to present your point of view.

Nobody ever really wins an argument.

Good to know.

It seems kind of half assed though.

I've only used it briefly to access the filesystem. Having to paste code into the reference field in the name manager is a special kind of masochistic practice.

Oh hey, let me make a treasure map and put the treasure map into the treasure chest and bury it under ground.

Why can't people find my treasure? Are they fucking idiots or something?

I should probably put more maps in the chest.

Well, you can't make Tetris in HTML without including some other language that has loops and variables.

I'm also not sure if you can do it in Excel without using VBA, which is a programming language. Excel doesn't do circular logic in the document sheets.

Anyway the issue or joke is the lack of definition of "programming".

HTML is a text encoding system. It's not that different form something like the Morse code. It's only instructions for how to decipher a series of codes. It takes input and presents it as an output, starting from the beginning and working its way to the end.

In my very unofficial opinion, a "program" is something that is able to "run" by itself, so that the code itself has instructions for which part of the code to run.

If you decipher a morse code, it doesn't suddenly have instructions that force you to go backwards in the code and decipher from there or to jump to different sections. The text output might tell you to do so, but if you follow the text, then you're doing something else than deciphering morse code.

HTML works the same. It start from the top and interprets its way down. It can have some conditional statements, but nothing that will make it go backwards and rerun the same instructions again.

The interpretation is of course more advanced than Morse code and it can call other languages to do stuff, so HTML is basically a document describing a job procedure in that way. The individual jobs can be reoccurring tasks, but the document itself isn't.

So in my opinion it's not "running" anything. It's just a document being printed on screen.

I'll admit that "one-shot" programs are a thing, and documents with variables do exist, so it's not clear cut. A programming language should be capable of those things though, and HTML isn't one on its own.
