Are you focusing your attention on the feeling of the cold water on your skin, or are you trying to distract yourself from it?

Both of those work too. Chair suggests the person called the meeting and cares about the outcome, where "facilitator" or "moderator" sounds more neutral.

"Facilitate" can have a very useful and precise meaning when used to describe someone who is running a meeting of some sort and their role is to keep it on track, making sure it progresses in a timely manner and sticks to the agen

Maybe it's more accurate to say it's a very recently adopted invention.

Great point about the timbres sounding different in transposition. I didn't realise the thirds were so off in brass instruments, thirty cents is a lot!

You can argue that the different keys of equal temperament don't have any special character at all, since they differ only by fundamental frequency and the relationship between scale degrees are exactly the same in each key. What chara

If there's a minimum length (the Planck length?) then space is discrete and the measurement bottoms out at some point, it would be infinite if space was continuous and infinitely divisible.

They're going to rake it in. I heard it's been the most wishlisted game on Steam for a while now.

I love "deinforce" as an antonym to "reinforce". The standard way to say it would maybe be "deemphasised", but it lacks the symmetry of "deinforced".

Someone at my work actually suggested, with a straight face, that we do just that. I think specifically they suggested we stop referring to "gen-z" because there was a letter Z in it.

Every time I've tried to use a pi as a long-lived server, the SD card ends up getting corrupted. Switched to a chromebox running kodi for my media server, running 24/7, five or six years ago and haven't had a single problem w

If you want to know lots about how materials interact with light to look the way they do, including how the Fresnel effect contributes, there was a great talk at the Blender conference this morning about it. https://youtu.be&#x2F

The truth remains that in US culture it does have this gendered meaning, and in Scottish and Australian culture it does not. Context matters. Intent matters.

by hrnnnnnn 4y ago
One notable difference is the c-word, which is a gendered slur in the US, but not in Scotland or Australia. I'm self censoring here because this is a US-run site and I'm afraid I'll get shadowbanned if I use it in full. I am

Equal temperament is better if your goal is to be able to play in any key. For some kinds of music this doesn't matter and alternative tuning systems could allow the composer to realise their goals more effectively.

I only read it a few weeks ago and I couldn't believe it was nearly ten years old.

Oh, I thought this was going to be a response to Mark Fisher's 2013 essay "Exiting The Vampire Castle", which was not actually about vampires. https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/opendemocracyuk/exiting

Webb has two main cameras, NIRCAM for near-infrared, MIRI for mid-infrared. MIRI is lower resolution because it's looking at longer wavelengths. This image is from NIRCAM, so it's the highest res Webb can do. Neptune is small in t

Thanks for the tip, I've been wanting to do some micrography for a while but hadn't found anything decent-looking. Just impulse-bought the blips lab kit!

There are though. One such is Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SENS_Research_Foundation

The image in the background is an artist's rendition. The graph is the real image. Exoplanets are too far away and too small to image directly.

Couldn't you have the clients send each other their public keys as the first step in the conversation?

A couple of gotchas that caught me: doesn't work with flat shaded objects, so no crisp gemstone caustics, objects need to have a decent amount of geometry - three levels of subdiv did the trick for me.

It has a couple, one for writing shaders and another for manipulating geometry. You can even combine them - outputting values from the geometry nodes to be used by the shaders.

I could never see stereograms properly, but I have no trouble seeing them by crossing my eyes. Unfortunately for most stereograms this inverts the depth.
