It’s possible to apply Dolby Headphone (or similar systems) to any stereo signal, to get rid of the “in your head” sound.

> the sound appears to be coming from outside of my head, rather than between my ears It’s a pity that Apple doesn’t provide that feature as a simple option that one can apply to any audio source.…

There is a reason for nominal typing though, because nominal types represent an interface contract that generally goes beyond just having the right type signature, but instead it is also about semanti…

> you can always also write the expected type, if you want. But you have to read the code of people who didn‘t.

It’s cutting off branches from the decision tree.

There are more things to be named than good names, and also what constitutes a good name depends on our individual perception (prior experiences, cultural background, neurological disposition, etc.). …

They don’t say “Gnuplot” is wrong. They even include themselves (“many of us”) in those people that don’t want to start sentences and title words with lower case. My reading of that paragraph is that …

Also, after a couple generations the ancestors become so many that the "legacy" contribution from a given ancestor to a given descendant becomes statistically negligible.

It‘s interesting that B doesn’t require forward declarations, so global elements can be ordered with higher-level concerns first (e.g. main) referencing lower-level elements further down in the source…

The argument against “I” is that the user (client code) of an instance shouldn’t have too care whether the type of the reference is an interface or a class. Concerns of the implementor shouldn’t det…

You could probably use an iPad in kiosk mode (single app always shown) mounted with an always-connected charger.

Let’s see if this works: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doe_v._Exxon_Mobil_Corp%2E Yes! You can work around the issue by encoding the trailing dot as %2E. And in Outlook you can e…

An awful lot of users also still use lo-res displays, and that won’t be changing much because it will remain the cheaper option.

Those are known as Heisenbugs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heisenbug

Nevertheless it would be useful if everyone knew which "arrows" mean subtyping vs. reference vs. ownership vs. instantiation, and which boxes mean action vs. object/class, etc. If you o…

This is also called Gestaltzerfall.

Yes, I almost never have my browser fullscreen (only when the page layout forces me to), and instead use a roughly 1:1 aspect ratio in the middle of the screen, so that text lines aren’t too wide and …

Wow, the function keys go up to F19.

What I'd like to do is to use a pencil to draw on my 27" monitor when screen-sharing/presenting. That's the one use case for "touch" I'm really missing. You can sort…

Can it? The HDMI 2.1 footnote says "Support for up to 4K 60-fps HDR video output", and 120 isn't mentioned anywhere on the spec page.
