I don't know, it seems pretty clear to me. It beats doing let newScore = (await (await fetch(url)).json()).ID and no, a myriad of intermediate variables is not always a nice alternative. This syntax gives a clear view of what ha

Reaktor 5 ships with Steam Pipe 1&2, which are two cool physical modelling synthesizers. They're great for wind, string and percussive instruments

Non if you consider the need of developing open drivers for them

The title is mildly confusing right now, I parsed it as "Abusive (Ad Blocker)" instead of "(Abusive ad) blocker" and wondered why they would want to boast that on their blog

It aids in soldering, as the header you put in stays put straight instead of falling over or bending

You can just fork vcpkg's repository and have the same effect, though.

I initially read the title as "John Carmack's VBScript Samples" and I was very perplexed as to when would have John Carmack ever had to mess around with that...

> Just look at a modern scheduler and see what it saves whenever it context switches: that's your minimum set. I'd call that an upper bound on the size of the minimum set, one that is guaranteed to work with any kind of program

The professor which lectured the algorithms course at my university (and some others) published a paper some time ago which seems relevant: http://pages.di.unipi.it/bodei/publ-40/Fun07.pdf "Knitting for fun:

Wasn't "x86 emulation" basically the WinChip's and Cyrix's strategy in the late '90s-early '00s? I don't remember that ending too well, unfortunately...

Exactly. As someone who has been asked to teach an IT technician friend how to program, it's absolutely not a trivial task. You would think the problem solving skillset of a technician would help, but nope.

I can definitely hear songs in my head. I can go one step further, I can "visualize" how to play the melody of the song I'm hearing on a guitar neck. The rest of my "visualization" skills are very poor, though. Peop

Strandberg guitars are similar in concept, maybe you'll find them interesting

That's what it would take in this case as well, it's just that the manufacturer doesn't provide any.

It should be noted that these are just _one_ of the ways of expressing the various connectives. Among the symbols I've found used: Conjunction: ∧ ⨉ & Disjunction: | + Negation: ¬ ! and "overlining" the terms Implication:

You surely mean Potato Chips! http://potatosemi.com/ I'd have invested in that company just for the pun honestly

You could consider that in PID control the actual algorithm is the single iteration, after which the output is sent out and a new set of inputs comes in, thus restarting the algorithm. In an endless iteration, you never give out any outputs

Commutatitivity does not need to always hold. Multiplication is not commutative on matrices, but we still use it often and write it as a product nonetheless

Off topic, but seeing the word "embeddable" in this context reminds me of old Microsoft OLE. It was kind of cool being able to drag an excel table inside an Access form, together with a media player and stuff like that...

Tire noise has a much different "sonic signature" compared to exhaust noise and ICE noise, it is much closer to "white" noise and has not as much rumble. I'm not saying it's necessarily any better, but maybe it

To be fair, that's a definition of "portable" only used among windows users, as far as I know.

Also I don't see how something like libraries linking has anything to do with an ISA, which is mostly an OS implementation detail, AFAIU
