Presumably GP is suggesting IIR filters?

I'm not sure any literature on this beyond my own experience. In the context of synthesizers, "buzzing" quality is associated with unfiltered basic waveforms: sawtooth, square, triangle (to a lesser extent), pulse (notably so

The human ear is sensitive to phase correlation. It stems from the physiological fact that our ear is effectively a multiresolution filter. So with an overtone-rich tone, the time constant with which we perceive the uppermost harmonics is

Of a single sinusoidal component, sure, this is true. But phase differences between sonic features are absolutely detectable. The effect is most noticeable on raw synthesized tones: sawtooth, square wave, etc. These tones contain sonic

Somewhere I read that the cotton gloves are just for show, because onlookers get in a tizzy if they see things being handled without them. Gloves limit dexterity, so it's apparently less damaging to use bare hands.

Often "X city local time" is what you want though. If I schedule a recurring meeting at 1 PM, most people will expect it recur at 1 PM local time . A 1 PM EDT meeting would become noon EST when the clocks switch, and no-one wants

By my reading this isn't a new way to generate THz signals, but a way to modulate light with existing THz signals.

Note also that the "hyphen" on your keyboard is actually a "hyphen-minus". Unicode provides separate characters for hyphen (‐) and minus (−).

As someone interested in "friend compounds", I'm missing what in either of these laws enables that specifically. They both just seem to provide for denser housing generally. (Particularly SB684 almost literally just seems to

They're calling `(*Callback)(g_myProvider, Context)` in the context of the critical section. So presumably that's also important to run exclusively. (The tracing handler getting registered twice is just a canary.)

They do, if you issue the transactions concurrently (i.e., multiple DB connections). This is "group commit" as referenced in the article. You can't batch sequential transactions without violating the semantics of `COMMIT`.

Linux does make this distinction. Linux has two main disk I/O paths, buffered and direct I/O. Direct I/O indicates "channel end" by the completion of the write operation. By that point, data has been transferred to

Buying lottery tickets with UBI money is just returning the money to the government and/or some other lucky individual. Only an insignificant amount of marginal wasted work is performed.

No, RS-232 (serial/COM/DE-9/DB-25) could be freely plugged and unplugged. PS/2 peripherals however always warned against hot-plugging [1]. The reboot you are remembering is because serial mice needed drivers installed. [

From the title I expected this to be about differentiating DCG grammars themselves. That is actually a technique for matching regular expression [1]; now I wonder can it also be applied to DCGs (or a restricted form like PEGs). [1] https:&

Moreover, the problem as posed doesn't specify the direction of twiddling, which kind of gives away the answer.

Depends on the ISA. ARM32 is a lot more enjoyable to work with than x86-64. In-order VLIW architectures like TileGX and Blackfin (IIRC) are fun if you like puzzles. Implementing tight loops of vectorized operations on most any ISA is simila
