- curiousgal 4y agoThanks, the tone of voice in the video was very reminiscent of those ASMR videos which I abhor.
- mindcrime 4y agoYeah, I've often wondered if that's her normal speaking voice, or if she adopts that particular tone just for her videos.
- noizejoy 4y agoI also wonder what the correlation might be, between such “wondering” about somebody’s speaking voice and the gender of the speaker.
- mindcrime 4y agoI don't know. I can off-hand think of exactly two Youtubers that I am familiar with, who frequently get comments about how their voice would make good ASMR audio, etc. One is male (the guy from Far North Bushcraft and Survival) and the other is female (Tibees). shrug
- noizejoy 4y agoThis parent comment didn’t seem to be an obvious complimentary comment, like the one’s you’re referencing.
- cryptonector 4y agoI don't see how you get that. Some people do adopt a particular voice when they narrate, and it's neither a good thing nor a bad thing, but it can be interesting.
- ARandomerDude 4y agoRight. If you've ever thought somebody sounded weird it's because you're a biggot/racist/sexist/homophobe/other-insult-here and it definitely could not possibly be that the person just sounded a bit strange to you.
- curiousgal 4y agoThe funny part is that I'm a woman myself haha I guess I'm a misogynist!
- aaaaaaaaaaab 4y agoInternalized oppression!
- noizejoy 4y agoIn my own experience (and being male), I’ve found myself compelled to remind women team members not to be more critical (and/or less forgiving) of each other than they are of male colleagues. Because it happened somewhat regularly.
- noizejoy 4y agoIt’s less about the thinking and more about the unfiltered blurting out such (when they are personal and/or unkind) thoughts in public.
- mattofak 4y agoWhile the work itself is interesting, I'm also super curious to know how this was typeset. Did NASA have special typewriters with common math symbols, or go through some office with a Linotype or early digital typesetter, or something else?
- jhfdbkofdchk 4y agoI don't know how NASA did it, but in the 60s and 70s the IBM Selectric typewriters had those replaceable balls and you could swap one in with special math symbols on it. https://www.duxburysystems.org/downloads/library/texas/apple/cnthesis/selectric.htm https://www.duxburysystems.org/downloads/library/texas/apple... https://mathoverflow.net/questions/19930/writing-papers-in-pre-latex-era https://mathoverflow.net/questions/19930/writing-papers-in-p...
- mindcrime 4y agoHeh, that's a really interesting question. It's easy to forget that not everybody lived in the world of PC's running TeX / LaTeX, and Postscript enabled laser printers, etc. I have no idea how math got typeset back in those days... I'm too young to have any appreciation for that era in that regard.
- bombcar 4y agoTeX was specifically written because Knuth was unhappy when his books went from being delicately hand-set by someone to being produced by a computer.
- ncphil 4y agoIt was the transition of commercial printing technology from "hot lead" typesetting machines (big brothers of the Linotype beasts I helped maintain while in college) to photo-offset, during which the fonts Knuth loved got "left behind" (as so often happens as proprietary tech evolves), that led him to write his own typesetting system. In the early 90s I used both vde with troff and TeX through grad school on a Kaypro 1 running CP/M. TeX was definitely the superior system for the kind of research papers I was writing (Chicago Style cites, mixed Latin and Greek text, annotated bibliographies).
