It really hasn't though. Fossil fuels kill or disable more people every year than nuclear power has, ever. Even in terms of radiation accidents, nuclear power generation pales in comparison to orphan sources from medical equipment. Yet

There's a bimodal distribution of software developers where one set never touches the problems that the others deal with. The attitude of "nobody has to implement X" is one set of the distribution being wholly ignorant that t

If it were limited to one night of the year and people just moved on it would be fine. These days it stretches out for half the summer, practically.

I wouldn't call archiving a consumer application but I understand the point. Really it gets back to the word: fidelity. Some say it means "truth" but really it's latin for faithful or in the context of audio, perceptua

The unit of a block size is samples (frames, technically), not seconds. When configuring audio devices for playback you tune both sample rate and block size for latency. It used to be far more common to tune sample rate than block size alon

This is a stupid question but I'm a stupid EE/SWE who knows very little about physical objects. In the all these animations of the pistons I see linear motion translated into rotary motion using the crank shaft - but how do you de

Higher sample rates are lower latency for the same block size and resampling is not "free" (pick 2: performance, aliasing, latency) so there can be advantages to working with audio archived at higher sample rates. But all the adva

> Higher sample rates than 48kHz only needed when you want to pitch down ultrasonic recordings (of whales, bats and other such animals for example). There are numerous use cases for higher sample rates that go beyond this but it's h

Firstly, standards compliance is bad when the standard is bad. Secondly nothing precludes defining '3' as the lowest file descriptor for open(), since stdin/stdout/stderr cannot be opened (they are opened before the proc

Large asset managers aren't buying up significant amounts of property, this is basically an imagined problem that wants to demonize corporations/financiers for a problem created by local land use policy.

Kramer has been selling strat clones for 40+ years and a big reason they got popular in the 80s was because they were building guitars Fender wouldn't - they just had the same/similar body shape. Also that first example is a Fen

The argument has nothing to do with the sound. A strat style guitar is characterized by: - Flat top - Solid body, typically softer/lighter woods - Bolt-on neck (as opposed to set or through-body) - Double cutout (as opposed to single&#
