Amen to this comment, I apologize if my previous comment went too far, it seems like we're overall on the same page, at least on some issues. > For example, some people write method names that aren't descriptive. It happens. I

Oh my God, this comment shows up on a lot of these threads about software correctness and I can't disagree more. * Today, modern software is failing left and right. It's a serious problem and it's extremely frustrating. In pa

Yeah, I don't think that'll work in practice. Unless your OS is real-time, what you described cannot work because audio latency has to do with more than your DAW's threads. It also has to do with OS polling MIDI data, or send

Anything involving government really. This is the decades old "starve the beast" [1] mindset. Let's make sure government is absolutely ineffective at every step of the way, and then later point out how ineffective the governm

Right, that's what I thought, but wouldn't it be very short for chemistry? At least, to make any kind of chemical observation/experiment? Am I wrong? EDIT: Also I think it's "microsecond" as opposed to "mi

Forums were doing just fine during the golden age of Facebook, at least in my generation. I thought what made forums go belly-up was reddit. Once reddit became a mainstream social media, there was no need for niche forums as anyone could ju

These kind of comments are so heartbreaking. Is this really what you think humans are without work? You think people would just resort to hedonism, and addiction if not for corporations who kindly introduce order in our lives? When I look

Checking in fake private keys is fine for testing. Why is it bad, out of principle, just in case you check in bad private key? I think that's a bad argument because there are a lot of benefits to being able to run end-to-end tests with

People check in fake private keys to git repos all the time for testing. My own tests have private keys too. They're just sample, unused, publicly advertised private keys I found online. They're useful to make sure your code is wo

I think you're maybe just a little confused, or I'm missing something. Kebab case is in general not viable to implement unless you have very a special/quirky syntax, because there is no way differentiate to `a-b` from `Id(&

I prefer your original text, and I'd caution you against using AI this way. Embrace your writing style, make an effort to improve it but accept that it is a part of you.

"Significant" improvement? Really? They're almost the same but ChatGPT version removed some of the nuance such as `"approved"` vs `reviewed and approved`. I prefer the human-written version even with the grammar err

Ok fair, but don't be surprised when people vote out politicians who share your opinions. To me, and to the culture, community I live/grew up in, this is a horribly authoritarian, scary, dystopian attitude that has absolutely no p

To me it's the exact opposite. I usually end up feeling much better later in the day if I can't sleep but mornings are absolutely brutal. Even if I sleep well, I feel a bit groggy in early mornings; if I didn't sleep well I&#

It's has an abundantly iterator-based API, which is common in C++ but in my experience CGAL goes overboard with it which makes it hard to learn. I also didn't think it's well-documented when I was working with it between 2016

My sense is that it'll be a lot worse, Y2K was only a data format issue, whereas 2038 issue has to do more with underlying hardware. It really all depends, and we'll see. Certainly, many old software will stop working in 2038.

I couldn't find if this is the case in the paper but unless they created a pure tone at 20Hz (i.e. a sine wave oscillating at 20Hz) any sound will have higher harmonics. Even though the fundamental is 20Hz, it'll also sound 40Hz,

This is quite a bit incoherent. I've been listening for about 5 mins, each side had quite a few turns but Herzog almost invariably talks about how he's not a Marxist, and Zizek almost invariably talks about how cinema should be an

Exactly, I find this entire discussion incoherent. Drake Equation can demonstrate that the universe should be teaming with life, or it can also demonstrate that we might as well be the only life in the universe: just pick different numbers

> I don't see how `b` is not a string. Because it isn't. There is no concept of a string. `if [[a] [b]]` is similar to `(if a b)`. So in your example `a [b]` is similar to s-expression `(a b)`. Neither "a" nor "b
