Thank you for this!

I went through and read your design document - thanks for the link! That answered my question. For anyone else wondering, one piano key per character within a given modifier palette (like letter, number, etc). With 24 major and minor chords

Sorry i phrased that poorly - what was the mapping of piano chords to characters you settled on?

I'd heard previously that the fruit used to be called "a naranj", and through linguistic evolution that transformed into 'an aranj', and a light bit of google for 'a naranj' returns the following: https:&

I couldn't agree more here. If only they had a habit of keeping services in beta until they could earn a net profit, and then released them. Then, if for some reason they can't find the level of profits that Google wants for them,

What were the key or note chording patterns you used to make this?

Sorry, I didn't see your reply to this until just now. I hope that you get a chance to see mine: I have to disagree that nomenclature being fractured is not the problem. Within any given field, it is true that as you go deep enough int

I’d argue that this is, in fact, a failing of the language of description, and that going back and refactoring terms and systematizing the folk knowledge of a given field would go a long way towards fixing the public attitudes towards that

This would explain so much of electronic music. It also makes me wonder if there are any 'movies' of moving color that actually take place solely in the mind, with the aid of the after-images of what has come before?

Can you provide some links with more details? Googling sub-phrases from your comment finds me nothing but information on the natural weathering cycle of silicates as it relates to CO2.

I find this oddly comforting.

If it's that easy to fix, and helpful, a chrome or firefox extension seems warranted. Do you have two days to spare? Let me know when you're finished, I'll definitely use it. ;-)

Couldn't one technically do this right now with online games?

Another similar route is to code it as an interpreter over a data structure that represents the rules - When stored in something like a database, it can then be hot-reloaded.

Even in the absence of RNA-based computation, time-dependent spike encodings, recurrence, and the complex logic around dendritic spike production and location make neurons very, very far from artificial neural networks. Add in slow-wave cal

I appreciate that. Something that might be interesting for you - I used to have horrible eczema between my fingers when I was younger. more fat in my diet (Along with switching to grass fed beef and eating more and fattier fish like salmon)

Ilaksh, I seem to have touched a bit of a nerve here. I know, I used to respond the same way to similar advice. I wasn't assuming anything about anyone's condition - I was giving personal advice based on my experience. I say this

I can't speak for JumpCrissCross, but there are 3 things that improved my asthma: 1) Eating better. Low level inflammation is terrible for people with auto-immune disorders, to which the trio of asthma, eczema, and allergies belong. 2)

If you don't mind my asking, where did you see this person perform, and what topics of poetry did they speak upon that inspired you to begin writing?

It's extremely frustrating, isn't it?

This is a fair statement. What I (and I believe most others) mean by declarative programming is more specifically logic-and-constraint programming, but in many ways you could view Haskell's type system, typeclasses, and laziness in com

by kian 9y ago
Haskell is not declarative, however, so the programmer actually has control over the evaluation order through ordering demands for the results of computations. It does, however, take a little longer to fully grok how lazy code evaluates com

Yeah, flies breed so quickly that knockouts are really easy to test. The fact that it's the same set of genes conserved in mammals is nuts. If you find this fascinating, you may also wish to look a bit deeper into the genetics of morph
