       | And here... I was so stoked "finally, I'm going to get a modern
       | primer on creating GUIs with Swing." Might be nice to add
       | something in the title that this is about dance and not creating
       | GUIs.

         | It's funny I had the exact same thought before opening the
         | link, "Weird, a Swing article on the front page of HN? The same
         | Swing that was causing me sadness every time I tried to figure
         | out why a component was expanding/not expanding like I wanted
         | to?"

         | tradition).

       | Ken Burns Jazz Series has essentially an entire episode on the
       | concept of swing. Definitely worth watching.

       | How do 32 and 64ths look if you swing on 16ths? Do they end up on
       | a sine-like interpolated curve of sorts, or do changes in
       | velocity happen instantaneously like a square wave?

       | percussion for several years and used to enjoy swing dancing.
