Is quaternary actually useful for anything in the real world?
Hello.
I am currently inventing a language, and have created a base 4 number system for it. Unfortunately, I am horrible with numbers, even in decimal. So it was a hard slog. But I finally got there.
It would be great if I could know of any practical applications quaternary has (if any), so I can incorporate it into the language and make it more naturalistic. Thanks.
Trying to build a world for the first time. Overwhelmed.
Hi all.
I'm making great progress on a language I'm constructing, and it occurred to me that I should build a sort of fictional world, for the language to "grow" in, if that makes sense. I have the name of the language, the name of the "country", the flag design... but I'm having trouble with everything else haha. Any help appreciated!
What's the difference between a WebK and a WebA web app?
These are the two options for web apps on the Telegram website. Is there any real difference between the two?
Is there a way to view messages you've sent?
From what I can tell, the only way is to scroll back through the channel and locate each message you've sent individually. That's a pain in the ass. Is there a way to find them in one place?
Desperately trying to find a song from a Chinese movie. I hope someone here can help!
The movie was about gangs, and near the end of the movie, a lot of people die in a warehouse. Sorry I can't remember more. It was years ago.
The song was (I'm pretty sure) called Wildflower (the Chinese word for wildflower). It had a female singer, and sparse acoustic guitar accomplishment. It was a solemn sounding song.
I'd love to hear it again, if I can find it.
NIИ - The Hand That Feeds (2005)
I loved a lot of Trent's early stuff. Then he went to rehab, sobered up, and his music changed. This was one of the first indications I had of his changing style. A lot of fans didn't like it, but I think his songs became much more focused (especially lyrically). And thematically, this song will never not be relevant.
Flobots - Handlebars (2007)
This song had a really big impact on me when it first came out. Sadly, it just seems to become more and more relevant as time goes on.
Claude Debussy - Clair De Lune (1905)
I hated this piece as a child. I was a fan of the "German school" of composers: strong functional harmony. Sections of music have to resolve tightly and correctly. So when I heard Clair De Lune, it sounded to me like a cat rolling around on the piano keys.
Then a few months ago, I heard it on the radio. It suddenly made sense. After years of training my ear with contemporary modal music, full of "weak" cadences, I was better able to understand this Debussy piece. The notes float, linger. The chords keep it grounded and add some tension. And of course, that section with the bubbling arpeggio chords is otherworldly.
What abstract names do you have for God?
Jocular ones are welcome too (and no doubt inevitable), but I'm looking more for "sensible" ones. Some examples:
- Unmoved Mover
- Great Universal Mind
- Undifferentiated Aesthetic Continuum
- Ground Of Being
Antonio Vivaldi - Violin Concerto in A major ("La Stravaganza" No. 5) Op. 4/5, RV 347
Diaspora* - is it any good?
I just read up on it and it seems good, at least in theory. How does it compare to Lemmy, would you say?
