Maybe to see how quickly it was noticed? Yeah, possibly

I knew there was a reason I didn’t like Lisp.

[…] code hosted on the polyfill domain had been changed to redirect users to adult- and gambling-themed websites.

I wonder if the intent was to actually send users to these sites, or to generate bogus clicks on ad links.

Seems like a lot of effort to go through just to drive a little extra traffic to some random porn sites.

Balls to throwing soup at paintings, where’s the climate warriors blowing up oil refineries? That’s the kind of activist that I’d buy a drink for.

The language definitely seems made up just to fuck with people.

The fact this was apparently posted by someone from the Netherlands makes this so much funnier.

Some applications use those unused bits to add tags to pointers but it’s important to mask those out before attempting to dereference the address. I’m not sure about ARM but x86-64 requires bits 49-63 to be copies of bit 48 (kinda like sign-extension), ironically to ensure that no one is using those bits to store extra data.

That’s one of the fundamental disagreements between Catholics and Protestants.

A Catholic would argue that veneration of saints isn’t worship, it’s showing respect for someone who exemplified Christian ideals, or died as a martyr. Canonization is basically the religious version of the Medal of Honor.

A Protestant would argue that the distinction between veneration and worship is arbitrary, and veneration of a saint essentially amounts to idolatry anyway.

Its not that they don’t have pitch, per se, it’s that the nature of the sound they produce makes the concept of “pitch” kind of meaningless.

Except for a pure sine wave, every tone is going to have multiple harmonics over the fundamental which is what actually gives an instrument, even the human voice, its timbre.

Percussion instruments like cymbals and the snare drum create broad-spectrum noise. There’s essentially so many frequencies that it’s difficult for our brains to nail it down the fundamental pitch. It’s also what helps us hear them over the rest of the ensemble.

Drums in general produce very short pulses of sound, which also makes it harder for the brain to tell what pitch it is. In harmonic analysis, any very short sound is actually broad-spectrum because it takes a ton of harmonics to produce a single sharp spike with rapid decay.

I highly recommend downloading a spectrum analyzer app on your phone to get an intuition for this. If you’re on Android, I recommend Spectroid.

Just run it and watch the screen while you make different sounds, approach various sound sources, play music, or just talk or sing. If you can whistle, that also produces an interesting result. You can actually see the frequency of the power grid in the harmonics produced by electric motors and transformer coils which is personally really fucking cool.

Well shit, that’s a non-starter then.

I would also like to know where Pastafarianism falls.

I actually added detail that wasn’t already discussed in the article?

We don’t even have true 64-bit addressing yet. x86-64 uses only 48 bits of a 64 bit address and 64-bit ARM can use anything between 40 and 52 depending on the specific configuration.

I wonder why I haven’t seen a standard open-source license for this.

Seconded. Having an awesome Fish setup doesn’t help at all when you’re constantly having to shell into other machines unless you somehow keep your dotfiles synced, and that sounds like a total hassle.

I’d rather my muscle memory be optimized for the standard setup.

The consensus on Powerwash Simulator DLC from what I’ve seen so far is that it’s not a lot of content for the price.

What do ya’ll think?

This would be a lot more readable with some paragraph breaks.
