Wouldn't surprise me, the guy was a legend.

That's a good idea. Just bypass it internally and let the switch move freely, doing nothing. They'll learn to leave it alone pretty quickly.

You're right, though sometimes simplicity beats flexibility. It's a lot easier to set it as a standard right at the beginning of the signal chain and frees all the engineers down the line from having to make decisions about it, an

Love the superglue/epoxy trick! As the author said, hilarious. That ultra bassy sound always rubs me the wrong way -- I'm glad to hear someone's been going against the grain. And it's nice that they appreciate the differ

It does, though its effect is usually small with respect to other ones like electromagnetic interactions in chemical reactions. But I forgot without gravity there are no traditional convection currents.

It's weird how some phenomena can act so differently when the only variable you change is gravitational acceleration, even if it's still in a pressurized, oxygenated environment and it seems like a change in acceleration would onl

So this is kind of like ASIO drivers for Android? I hope it gains wider applicability, it's about time.

Depends on how good your soundcard's drivers are. But I think Mac OS X is capable of something like 48 samples at a bare minimum? Therefore it depends on the sample rate you're using as well. Higher sample rates yield lower latenc

Oh good, people defecating themselves while handling the poultry that ends up on our dinner tables. But I guess it's worth it to maximize those corporate agriculture profits. Maybe with all this money we're saving on chicken I can

Quid pro quo. You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours 2 years later.

You can imagine an odd pattern might develop where countries that have high suicide rates seem happier because their most depressed people irreversibly exclude themselves from the surveys. I wonder how strong the statistical effect is thoug

I think a sensor that has 3 sub-sensors that respond at roughly the same wavelengths as our cones, and has each sensor's response curve matched to human perception would be good enough, no? Maybe with a clever algorithm to reduce the 3

I think a large part of empathy is being able to actually feel (to varying degrees) the mental state of another person, and not just being able to construct a logical framework of their thoughts and feelings.

I think you just nailed why judging audio quality is so difficult. You can compare video frame by frame, or look at a still image for as long as you need to, but audio is always disappearing into the past as you listen to it, and the closes
