Making a Ukulele Tuner with Javascript

)I just got a ukulele and I love it. I play it nonstop. Because of the temperature changes in my room and how often I play it, the instrument goes out of tune quite often. I wanted to write a simple tuning program that could play a solid sine wave at the frequencies I needed it to. I found it very easy to tune off of a loud sine wave instead of the sound of a ukulele string being plucked over and over again like most ukulele tuners. This one is going to be very short because this program is very simple and to the point.

What Can You Do With A Free Server In The Cloud?

I apologize for the clickbait title, but it's verbatim the exact question I asked myself when I learned about Google's Always Free tier for their cloud computing. This was a step up from what Amazon offered, because Amazon's free tier for computing only lasts 12 months. Naturally, I was really excited to have a free VM in the cloud that never had to be turned off. In this post, we can test the limits of these servers and see what you can do with them. Hopefully this can apply to developers and non-developers alike.
