That quiz is magnificent! I highly recommend it even if (like me) you are not American - the results will be meaningless, but the questions are themselves absolutely fascinating.

Reading that post and the comments makes me want to try out Qbs! I was vaguely aware of its being announced a few years ago, but I hadn't realised it had even become mature, let alone deprecated. Sounds like a good match for some of my

I was surprised to find my small petrol car made in 2001 is exempt from the London charge. I realise the primary aim is to reduce diesel emissions, but it seems a bit sad that our expectations today can still be met by a 17-year-old petrol

Doubly confusing as people associate "Kit" names with Apple a lot of the time - a company and platform that has nothing to do with either project.

Whenever this comes up, the answer seems to be "for programming language research and proofs in academia" and not much else. It's a pity. SML is in many ways a joy to work with. The language doesn't change, which is a ni

I think it only mentions ICA/NMF to say that they generally aren't applied to time-domain signals, which are not non-negative and have phase as a confounding factor. Here's another intriguing (very different) recent paper on

It isn't Comic Sans - the lower-case m is wrong. Comic Sans has a very jaunty and distinctive lower-case m. I don't know what this actually is, perhaps some open-source stand-in. For some reason I haven't thoroughly researche

I find them endlessly fascinating as well. My feelings are 1. Stop using the word "earning". We get paid, we don't necessarily earn our pay. Detach your pay from your perception about the work you do, and detach both from the

In case any other ignorant amateurs like me are wondering what an audio driver layer has to do with web services: it turns out ASIO is also a C++ library for network programming ( https://think-async.com/ ).

For anyone else still reading, this paper from Philips Research describes the method I think you're referring to. (It's cited in Avery Wang's 2003 Shazam paper.) http://www.ismir2002.ismir.net/proceedings&#x2F

I agree with you, and I work in music audio signal processing. Shazam was founded in 1999-2000 ish and was live by 2002, longer ago than many people realise. The fingerprinting method they used was a novel one, and they successfully deploye

Because this is a struct, not a tuple. Historically at least, I expect C/C++ structure elements to be identified by name rather than by declaration order. Changing the declaration order ideally would not silently change the meaning of

by cannam 8y ago
Mine, tentatively, is that the binding is made by declaration order, not by name: struct { int a; int b; } x { 1, 2 }; auto [b, a] = x; Now b is 1 and a is 2, even though in the original structure b was 2 and a was 1. This is con

by cannam 8y ago
A few things. The " and @ are swapped, I think, and some stuff about backslash. I can see that would be annoying for American users. But the main pro for UK users is that the UK layout has a double-height Return key. It's fab.
