A nice example of Japanese stroke order mattering are two of the katakana, ツ and シ. The difference is that the former starts at the top left and the strokes move right, then down and across to the left. The latter starts at the top left and

Fun book. "When mass produced, the cost of self-tuning options will be small compared to the price of a quality piano. You might think that this would put piano tuners out of work but that will not be the case because the number of pia

Steam only hosts the code incidentally. It manages your licenses. This is a big difference, and it's one publishers are free to work around if they wanted to.

The claim isn't never--it's for installing a small set of apps that you don't change for more or less the entire lifetime of your device.

Sorry, I'm not accusing you of anything. By strided accesses I mean when you access elements of an array sequentially using some step size. Think loops with `i += stride` instead of `i++`. In the wikipedia pseudocode this is done impli

You copy rather than use strided accesses. It's the same algorithm.

The code is mostly equivalent to the recursive form found in the wikipedia article on the cooley-tukey algorithm. This is a good one to learn from, as its not only a simple formulation but it forms the basis of modern optimised FFTs such as

For people who are eager to think this is a don't-assume-gender charade: try misgendering a cis person next time you're out, and see how much they don't care. _You_ are who this is for

Two years after this post, the Linux kernel added strscpy, the api of which is equivalent to the safe strncpy in this post. Internally, it stops copying once it reaches the null terminator. https://lwn.net/Articles/6592

My experience with notebooks matches the one presented here. For me the most disappointing thing is that notebooks are JSON, and not just marked up .pys. The cons of this decision outweighs the pros for me. One thing though--one of the best

Well, there was the Manhunt games, which always represented the worst side of Rockstar North to me.

That’s fair, but my assumption was that someone reading my reply would also have read the others, and I didn’t want to repeat what has already been said.

Time signatures are about writing and reading music. A beat being in 3 or 6 is independent from the time signature, which is whatever the transcriber thought best (you can always count a song in 6 in 3.) A piece in 4 might have pervasive us

Bizarre. This is coming from someone presumably embedded in the grant-writing machine that is modern academia. How do grant proposals justify their cost, exactly? Academia would be healthier if some back slaps at the next conference was all

Reverb of a static room at a point is as simple as that. Rooms with moving obstructions, with moving noise generators, at moving points, that's harder.

C++'s rng is bad because it's very easy to set them up incorrectly, and people mostly do. See http://www.pcg-random.org/posts/cpp-seeding-surprises.html
