This is somewhat offtopic to the OP's question but I've been wondering about something mildly related for some time. What sort of price range would I be looking at for a homemade long-range drone (I assume a plane) that could fly

Ohhhhh. zip is cool! And I wondered whether "fst" was "first" and "snd" was "second"... is there a "trd" and "fth"? Also - is [] a list (or mixed type) and () an array (or same-ite

Wow. Interesting. This is really cool, being able to learn like this :3 I must admit I have so many questions, like what the dot does, what fst and snd and >>= and OverloadedStrings and zip do... :) Oh, and what "snoc" means

Huh. So Haskell is the language of the missing apostrophe instead of the missing semicolon. (In all fairness, so is Lisp, but it puts the apostrophes on the other side.) I'm curious about "(zip urls response" though. Does tha

I tried an Occulus a while ago and found it to be quite unrealistic, digital and "fake." (And I only had it on for about 30 seconds but my eyes felt a bit sore afterwards!) Once LCD density allows for VR with 4K (or, if needed, 8K

Huh. I see. Do you happen to know what station you use? I'd kind of like to hear this for myself (for the sole reason that I'd like to get an idea of what it sounds like, since that does definitely sound like a TTS).

Interesting. > If you can listen to it and hear reverb (unless you're going for that effect) you're doing it wrong. I was thinking precisely that; I figured it'd need to be subtle and just-above-subliminal to have the mo

And surprisingly, I can actually follow it. (I have that thing where people say "yeah I can read this but don't expect me to write it" right now though...) This is very interesting. Does Haskell not have reasonably easy-to-us

Not sure whether you're referring to CPU microcode or the OS in the management engine. Microcode is remarkably tiny and heavily encrypted. I've never heard of anyone dropping hints as to what's in it, so if that's permea

Hah. Just like sockets were a "okay we'll just use this hack until we come up with something better." I think sockets (or what became sockets) crystallized (or started that process) around MULTICS?

by i336_ 9y ago
Wow. TIL x 2! Now I understand why I liked adding a bit of reverb when listening to old MOD/IT/S3M audio files - it covered up the "digitalness" of the song structure a bit. Thanks for the live vocals tidbit too, that&#x

Wow, they are. Very surprised. This is so good I'm wondering whether this is actually a massive (massive) sound bank. I think it might be a sound bank. A random radio receiver site I found that doesn't require Flash, tuned to NOAA

Huh. That means that recordings of speeches/performances from concert halls are potentially suspicious. Know of any other instances of reverb covering things up? This is interesting!
