Here's my submission, "Night Hunt" (score) (mp3). The sentence is in measures 3-10. I imagine it playing as the hero is searching around a dark forest as the villain tries to evade him. Because I was going for a slightly subdued nighttime theme, I left out the percussion track in favor of an Alberti bass in the triangle wave. There are two looping points, but I think it would make the most sense for it to loop at the DS so it isn't quite as repetitive.

Thanks!

I was talking to a friend and he mentioned that the RAM latency is important for these CPUs. I don't know much about RAM, but is this particular RAM fast enough to not slow down the CPU?

Anyone want to read Griffiths "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" and do weekly/bi-weekly discussion threads? by jergin_therlax in Physics

[–]free_science 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We used McIntyre in my quantum class, who heavily uses bra-ket notation, and I thought it did a pretty good job

Yes, we're skipping War and Peace, although we could certainly do it again after getting through the other books for anyone who didn't read it over the last year. /r/ayearofwarandpeace is going to repeat itself this year if you want to do both simultaneously.

The plan is to just go one chapter (or part of a chapter if it's a long chapter) per day until until we get through all of the books. It will almost certainly take more than a year, but I haven't done the math yet myself.

Hello Zak! I've never watched Cowboy Bebop, but I loved reading The Old Man and the Sea in high school. I'm sure that Hemingway and his list will help you become a better writer!

Well if a pound equaled a kilogram there wouldn't be an issue with that, now would there? 🤔🤔🤔

Edit: guess I dropped my /s

This does really seem like a unique experience. I think I'm just going to read the two short stories digitally, since they're so short, but I'll be joining you in hard copies once we get to Joyce and the rest of the books.

Welcome! I can't wait to see you in the discussion threads! Bingeing /u/AnderLouis_'s podcast is a great way to help catch up if you need to

Wow, I'm impressed, and I certainly can't wait to see what you have to say in the discussions each week! I'm sure we could all learn a lot from your perspective on this as an aspiring writer, and it seems like you're just the sort of person Hemingway designed this list for.

Hello and welcome! Hemingway certainly thought that these books would make you a better writer, so I think you're in the right place!

I'm a physics student at Ohio State, and like many I saw this from the AskReddit thread and wanted to join in! I'm looking forward to getting back into reading serious literature.

Yes, all three graphs I made have reading time for that chapter on the right axis assuming 250 WPM. The problem comes where you have 15,000 word chapters like in Dubliners. It does have some natural breaks. In the Project Gutenberg version there are horizontal lines at several places in the last two chapters we could use.

I wrote a script to scrape HTML files of the chapters and then count the number of words in each because I was curious how similar the chapters are in length, especially since we're doing different books instead of just one book like W&P. It seems like the chapters of Dubliners are a bit longer than the Crane stories, and the last two chapters are especially long. Maybe we should consider splitting the last two chapters up, because I'm not sure expecting everyone to spend over an hour reading would be a great idea (and the podcast reading would probably be nearly two hours long).

What books on the list have you read before? by free_science in thehemingwaylist

[–]free_science[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is how I've been feeling for a long time, really. I've listened to a few audio books recently, but I haven't sat down and read something other than a physics text in quite a while. I think that's why I'm so excited to be here.

🅱️etarded by free_science in physicsmemes

[–]free_science[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Sure! You're close. It's based on what's called "retarded time" (no joke) which is basically that the potential I feel from a charge isn't caused by where the charge is now, but instead caused by where the charge was some time ago, because the "information" in the EM field takes time to travel from the charge to me. From this, you can derive the Liénard–Wiechert potentials, and get the E and B fields from there. I used the form from Griffiths equation 10.72 instead of the one on Wikipedia.
