Try listening to some music with clipping, take 4th of july from Amy MacDonald for instance, now, if you don't hear it clip like mad when she hits the highs, it's your ear, I don't think anything can save that.. It's not

I mean for playback, the clipping is audible at any volume, it's visible in the waveform from the CD too, for some albums, I can get the vinyl version which may or may not be better in this regard (but then have generally less crisp hi

I'm always impressed by the amount of code in this implementation, I'd like to know more about the scenarios where it was determined that for(;;) puts("y"); was too slow.

That UI is heaps better that the flat shit we've got today. Only thing I'd take from today is the modern resolutions.

They've just given up, completely, on search.. It's a shame, because google used to be really good at indexing and searching the World Wide Web.

The older the better. The better understood, both in capability and limitation. The better chance no new updates will break it. The better chance no new updates. The better you get to know it. The better you get to integrate it. The better

Headline and content couldn't be less related. I'm not competitive at all, I'll walk away from anything that even looks like a competition. If you want to prove you're better than me, go find someone else to distract, wh

I'm not arguing for Discord, but I can see why it "won".. It's centralized, which, philosophically, is terrible, but practically is awesome; Nobody wants to maintain more logins/identities than they want to, most wa

I asked ChatGPT: What is the reason, that you are willing to write a poem about Andrew Jackson, but not about Brett Kavanaugh. Please note that I do not know either of these people. It told me:I am certainly capable of creating a poem about

The discussion here is in the public sphere, separate from the original article. In this broader context, precision in language is essential to ensure clear communication. Your use of 'phones' inaccurately describes a time period

I once worked on a project where we had the concept of a "case" and we had to change it to a "task".. Suddenly, we had a lot of "switch/task" statements that somewhat perplexed the compiler.

Kind of.. I find myself using ChatGPT more when I'm looking for information and explaination (I do fact-check if it's something I need to use, but then I gained more of an idea of what to actually search for on google). So ChatGPT

Kind of, but, my mood is not me.. I can be in a bad mood, I can be tired, there can be any number of reasons I'm not living up to my expectations of my normal output.. but that's still not _me_, it's part of the circumstance

Not a hard rule at all. What I meant, is that I don't apologize up front for making a mistake in my own work, for "writing code that does not work" or other things which could be interpreted as being the result of my lack of

At some point, I realized that there's a disconnect between "me" and "my work". My work is a result of circumstance, like, what my mood was when I did it, how well I know the particular domain, if I've seen sol
