Demucs did a much better job of isolating the bass on a blues track than LALAL. The bass actually sounded like a bass. LALAL got the note pitches but lost their attacks.

Earlier this week I bought a COOFUN GK41 with two Gbit Ethernet ports for $160. That included 8 GB ram and 120 GB SSD. It arrived yesterday, and I haven't installed OPNsense on it yet. So I can't report how well it works, or ev

I feel compelled to mention The Laszlo Letters and its sequels. In the 1970s, comedian Don Novello (aka Father Guido Sarducci) wrote a variety of crank letters to CEOs and politicians. He got a variety of responses. He published the le

Apartment dwellers will want to use the fastest charger regularly. They have to sit in their cars in some desolate location for the whole time, and they have to charge every week. Not an experience to prolong.

Do sources still exist for Perl 4 and earlier? I decided to go looking for when Perl got verbose regex. The oldest thing I can find on perldoc.perl.org or cpan.org is 5.004 (1997), where they were an existing feature. EDIT: Found 4.036 sou
