The very long summer

The original plan was to come back in september 2018, but it turns out, I was rather busy with everything else. I missed blogging, so I’ve decided to continue, but it will be at a much softer rate of about a post of month, rather than once a week.

constexpr is one of C++11’s features I’m starting to like very much. constexpr is a bit finicky, but it allows you to evaluate functions—including ctors—at compile time. This of course, allows computations to be replaced directly by results.

So in the best of cases, you could end-up with less code, or better yet, no code at all!

ANSI soit-il.

There’s no easy way of getting a console-based color output with standard C++. Of course, you can use ncurse, which does pretty much everything, but that is also quite tedious to use. But if you need just a little bit of color, ncurse is pretty overkill. Fortunately, if you have an ANSI capable terminal, that’s much easier.

See you all in september!

Reading cassettes, tout azimuth (Part II)

Last week we started to look at the problem of azimuth alignment on olden compact cassette tape drives, and how this misalignment affects the sound. Let’s now have a look at how azimuth affects the frequencies.

Closed for Summer (2016)

It’s that time again. The semester’s almost over, only a few assignments and exams to mark; everybody’s busy at their own stuff. Like the last few summers, I’ll kind of close the blog until September. I said “kind of” because maybe I’ll post a few things anyway. Especially that this summer will be interesting: more time for research, 7ECM, which I will attend, and a few other things. Seeya in September!

Science!

Sorry, no entry for this week: I’ve been rather busy lately (because of science).
