To each his own I suppose...I really did try to listen to the first one, but had to quit when the singing started.
Anyhow, I actually wondered the same question this weekend.

Sander was doing it but then got too busy getting published and becoming a CEO!
Bruno used to post interesting musical stuff here as well, usually on the weekends, and usually about the drums.
Anyway, I heard this one a couple of days ago and thought that the drums were phenomenal.

I'm glad I'm being missed!
I just got to busy to keep up, not a lot of music listening lately, unfortunately
It's pretty much impossible to not dance to that first song

Pretty... Disturbing, I guess

Also the sound from a cat when trying to remove a small sticky item stuck to the side of it. (As you would know).

[^] Another wonderfully trans-disiciplinary Aeon article chock full of tasty factoids sandwiched between layers of history of science: Quote: Secondly, and more broadly, culture has changed significantly. Yes, computers have allowed faster and more powerful statistical analysis than what was possible with pen and paper. But even more fundamentally, they have changed how we ‘see’ data. In the earlier 19th century, graphs such as Bronn’s (or other kinds of visualisations, such as line graphs) were relatively novel, and their ubiquity not yet established. Yet in our own time, it’s taken for granted that the best way of understanding large, complex phenomena often involves ‘crunching’ the numbers via computers, and projecting the results as visual summaries.

Maybe it is the parasite "Toxoplasma gondii" that's making you say these things.
Quote: Your brain is home to millions of protozoa, but one in particular, called Toxoplasma gondii, manipulates your behavior to force you to like cats.
This parasite, which lives in 30 to 50 percent of the world’s human brains, can only reproduce in the digestive tracts of cats. And, like many living things, it wants to continue surviving, so it has to continue reproducing. But if it lives in human brains, how can it reproduce? Enter cats.
Maybe this is why not all people like cats as much as others. I myself am a dog person.

Very little statistically significant evidence that T. Gondii can have a major behavioral effect in a large proportion of infected humans: studies suggest a difference in aversion to cat urine, some possible effects among schizophrenics (a category whose meaning is varied).
One thing sure, though, is that the treatment for T. Gondii, Pyrimethamine and sulfa-antibio, is potentially dangerous if not medically supervised.

Hi,
I had a question about some one trying to use Delphi in the Embarco frame work... Question A) I was under the impression that Borland made a return with Dev Studio 2006, went into the sunset again B) Embarcadero only did the C++ end of things, the was Delphi .NET (1.0) but thats all.
|
|
|
|
|
|
So, Delphi under the Embarcadero banner, have they dropped Borland or did it go bang again?
Micro Focus??
|
|
|
|
|
As today Borland is part of MicroFocus, but a few years back Delphi was bought by Embarcadero...

Well that leave M$ the only way...
|
|
|
|
|
MS the only way ?
ever heard of codeblocks ? mingw ? clang ? powerbasic ? purebasic ? xojo ? libre office ? python ?
|
|
|
|
|
Or even better Lazarus/FreePascal. Just like Delphi, but with a better pricetag. And available for more host and target environments...

1984 - Turbo Pascal 2.0 - $29.95
2018 - Delphi 10.2 - $1500.

Wow indeed, though adjusted for inflation it's not quite so dramatic. Back in those days I was living off £30 a week...
.. and contrarily, I remember looking at PC adverts for systems costing over £1K, which you can get now for well under that.. and you can get the entire .NET framework for nothing.
Weird.
I quite enjoyed Turbo Pascal. Just never had a good use for it.
