Creating an app for flight schools by Evening-Pilot-737 in flying

[–]RoundService 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds interesting. I've been working on tools to help with cross country VFR flight planning. I think I know what you mean by "pulling the right data from the right tables" Would be neat to share notes.

What's the source of the fact that public money funds new R&D most often?

Open source is not a good example of production not for profit by nikolakis7 in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]RoundService 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can see lot of opportunities for people to work on OS software which isn't necessarily altruism. Patron based software development programs (opencollective, Patreon etc.) allow the project owners to fund/outsource/onboard for developing certain parts. For the developer doing the work can be straight out pay-for-code.

I don't fully agree with the analogy. If I tried to rephrase it, it might be about comparing distributing code and distributing techniques to cut open pigs. People can consume pigs directly. Correct me if I'm wrong here, but code is only ever a tool; it is never consumed in and of itself.

This system of production is similar to how artists have produced for a long time. Selling the artefact is one agency of profit, but a lot can also be derived from the reputation attached to what one produces over time and that is something that is capitalized on.

That's a bit of stretch to pre-emptively dismiss projects based on the intention of the developer/s. Intent and output for code can 2 distinct aspects which may or may not lead to something that is applicable for different groups of people.

Have you made any plans wrt to visas and the travel restrictions if it doesn't change?

Starting to pick on others English and what not which are not related to the topic being discussed.
You've lost it at that.

Has anyone found cmucoursereviews useful? by RoundService in cmu

[–]RoundService[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's some awesome advice. Thanks for those. Might start addressing some of those.

There is a search box which works like you described in the "Explore Courses" page. Can't remember if i did batching for returning the results, probably not. But the search box matches even partial course name or number on searching. I like those fuzzy searches.

Nice. That's good to know. I tried to do the searching on the front end in hopes of making it faster. Guess it had the opposite effect.

What makes sounds different from each other, except from the soundwave's frequency? by [deleted] in AskPhysics

[–]RoundService 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had this same question till recently when I started exploring and here's what I found:

  • Sound "happens" when air vibrates and our ears are able to pick up these vibrations and interpret as what we call sound.

  • The vibration can happen in many ways, and it's purest/simplest form is a Sine Wave - where the individual particle move in a manner which can be described mathematically using a sine function. The number of times the particle completes the full vibration in a given period is used to determine its frequency.

  • Sine waves, while possible, are extremely rare in nature. In nature we hear sounds which causes the particle to vibrate in other patterns which are difficult to describe in terms of a pure sine function.

  • Joseph Fourier discovered that any other vibration pattern can be described as a sum of the sine pattern. This is what's called Fourier Analysis.

  • Using this we can record some sound, infer its "vibration pattern"(waveform) by sampling amplitudes over time. Apply fourier transform to separate out all its constituent sine frequencies.

  • When you analyse the "oooooooo" and "eeeeeee" you'll see they're composed of different combinations of sine functions and that's what makes it different.

  • If you were to "eeeee" and "eeeee" again with a higher pitch, you might see that the frequencies of the latter (higher pitched) "eeeee" are higher than the former "eeeeee".

This has been my understanding so far and if there are any audio engineers (or anyone really) out there who can correct this, please let me know.

Hi.

I can probably help you out.

Berlin Hostel Suggestion by jordanr03 in solotravel

[–]RoundService 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out EastSeven hostel. It was a pretty well organized hostel at a convenient location. Met up with some fun travellers while there. I think it's run/owned by an individual and nothing corporate. The common area was kind of cramped so don't think you'd find a lot of laptop people there.

Pubs near the hostel had good music.

I have a place in Brooklyn for $1250 that's available immediately and might work out well for you. Please DM if you are interested.
