My feeling is that people need to stop building graphical node editors until we've solved some basic issues and agreed on some common standards. 1. Playing nice with version control. Opening a graph and moving a node by one pixel shoul

OK but then why would a manufacturer ever use a E number - considering the stigma attached? Only when the other name "sounds worse"? Is there a legal threshold where you have to use the E number?

Why do you make that comparison? It seems absurd to me.

I don't think so. I wanted to voice this quickly without a detailed rebuttal as yours is the top comment and I don't think it's correct. Hopefully someone will do my homework for me (or alternatively tell me I'm wrong!).

OP sounds fairly smart and my first thought is "if OP is struggling then Rust probably isn't for me". Who is Rust for?

I genuinely don't see any. What are you doing to get the algorithm to feed you content like that? Or if this isn't in your feed - what are you basing your estimate on? I don't doubt there's a ton of it - but I'm cur

> At this point, the part about the major third appearing in the harmonic series lacks explicatory power. I really don't think it does. Fifths (and their inverted form fourths) are the most consonant interval (ignoring octaves as t

by andybak 2y ago
If you accept a physical basis for fifths (by virtue of the harmonic series) then surely it's not a major leap (no pun intended) from that to thirds? As you get further along the series you're moving from simple to complex ratios.

I'm going out a limb here and saying "your ears interpret them in terms of their relationship to thirds and everything else is a fiction" Although: a) I have only given this a moment's thought and... b) The term "fi

Maybe prettifier was the wrong word. I've definitely used code formatting tools that offer sorting of certain syntax elements as a feature. (Python imports in PyCharm springs to mind)

by andybak 2y ago
Could some of this be mitigated by running a prettifier post-merge?

Please don't break standard browser behaviour. The two category buttons at the top should be a tags not buttons. They should change the url history so the back button works and so I can alt-click to open in a new tab.

If Visual Studio has better support for C# than Rider, why does Resharper exist? Not trying to start an argument - I've never used Visual Studio with C# (I was a PyCharm user when I started learning Unity so Rider was an obvious choice
