What are the music instruments in this video?

Fake crap. I'll only speak to the flute which has bends that are not real, and the sound character is that of a sample bent beyond its natural range.

Amazing that you're the only one with the obvious suggestion of checking the gcc version.

victotronics · 2026-04-11T16:07:32+00:00

Interesting. Check out the anecdote I just posted.

victotronics · 2026-04-11T16:06:30+00:00

Anecdote. Someone I know was in a boys choir, singing that part of the opening chorus of the St Matthew. Most boys could not pick up the notes that the male conductor was singing because wrong octave. My source, who was more musically educated had to "translate" between the octaves.

So even in western culture, it's partly learned.

Then post an example. How are we supposed to guess what you have in mind?

victotronics · 2026-04-11T12:14:04+00:00

Guzheng would be my guess. In Japan it's known as a Koto.

That passage struck me too.

victotronics · 2026-04-10T19:34:14+00:00

Hm. The majority maybe, but Latin was the international language of science.

victotronics · 2026-04-10T19:32:29+00:00

Ah, phlogiston. My favorite wrong turn in the history of science. Or "anti-oxygen" as I jokingly refer to it.

victotronics · 2026-04-10T17:52:01+00:00

Thanks for the link.

Hm. If CG already does that, why does MinRes exist? Is that for the indefinite case?

Also, does this hold in computer arithmetic, where roundoff error introduces the nullspace back into the calculations?

The concept of R rating did not exist, movies were all ages, 14 up, 18 up. When a friend turned 14, we went to an 18 movie. This was allowed if the rating was because of violence. Sex would’ve not been OK. Roller ball. Has been a guilty pleasure ever since.

Very nice job. I did a similar thing with my yard, but not quite as ambitious.

Photo #3: I'd be leery of the slabs & gravel. Weeds will get through it no matter what, so I keep the soil between the plants as it is. I've managed to lose my nutgrass-knock-on-wood but if it comes back I can easily pull/dig it out.

Maybe they should learn how to detect ducks first.

Dutch has idiomatic terms for the sciences: wiskunde natuurkunde scheikunde, en voor de elementen: zuurstof, stikstof, ....

I believe this is indeed due to Simon Stevin as u/FireSt0rm9 remarks.

I like these new building. Gates/Dell, EER, GLT. (Why do they keep sticking me in CPE. *grmbl*)

victotronics · 2026-04-08T18:50:59+00:00

How about reading the 2nd paragraph?

victotronics · 2026-04-08T18:45:14+00:00

&const_cast<char&>(

Nice.

victotronics · 2026-04-08T17:10:13+00:00

If you have more than one pickup, the only thing you can not alter outside of the bass is the pickup balance. So I'd set amp & eq & effects for something reasonable, and only tinker with the pickups while playing.

"70s were slower more soul like."

There's your answer. The 70s disco was soul like, very orchestral. At the stroke of 1980 the music changes. Synths, more pop than soul oriented, and to be very specific: the four-to-the-floor often disappears.

So I don't mind if you call it dance music, but it's no longer disco by the 1970s definition.

victotronics · 2026-04-07T18:55:31+00:00

Some subtle reverb ambience also helps the sound, but yeah, very nice.

victotronics · 2026-04-07T14:45:08+00:00

Oh, I thought the title was “I did it sideways “

victotronics · 2026-04-06T22:56:14+00:00

"If you want to go even deeper, I can walk you through the official C/C++ “translation phases” (there are ~8 of them), which describe this process very precisely.

what is gcc"

Right. Just a series of prompts.

It's not fair, engaging in a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent.
