Why Stack Overflow Doesn’t Care About Ad Blockers

oh, is that what you were trying to say?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@Optimizer no.

It wasn't.

@Optimizer It's not, because at the current state, this exception is eternal.

@LegionMammal978 So SE is gonna implement ad-blocker-blockers

No.

They won't, that's the point.

@Optimizer In Louisville, the water treatment plant completely purifies the water, and then adds some minerals or something like that back to it in order to give it a taste. People don't actually like 100% pure water.

Solver

9:12 PM

@El'endiaStarman In the UK, we have Smartwater.

flawr

@AlexA. Do you know Agalloch?

Alex A.

I do!

flawr

Oh, perhaps you showed them to me=)

Alex A.

I don't think so

I haven't listened to them in a really, really long time

flawr

I only have one album, which is quite different from the others (I do not like the others as much.)

Agalloch-Ashes against the Grain

Optimizer

9:16 PM

@El'endiaStarman not all mineral water have taste

flawr

Since you're the guitar specialist: Do you know what kind of effect they used for this singing/howling sound of the guitar throughout the whole album?

Alex A.

Do you know Deafheaven?

Optimizer

@El'endiaStarman but really, that was not the point. you cannot generalize that water has taste though

El'endia Starman

@Optimizer But you don't actually know what water that's totally taste-less is like.

flawr

No

(Don't tell me about more bands right now, I've just spend quite some bucks for the OMG albums=)

Alex A.

9:17 PM

@flawr In the beginning of the album at least that's an E-bow. It's a little thing that vibrates the strings continuously.

@flawr Oh but you need to listen to Deafheaven.

flawr

Oh right, I've heard of those devices.

Alex A.

EBow

The EBow or ebow is a brand name of Heet Sound Products, of Los Angeles, California, for the original type of monophonic handheld electromagnetic string driver, invented by Greg Heet in 1969, first introduced in 1976, and patented in 1978. The name Ebow stands for "Electronic Bow" or Energy Bow) (often spelled E-bow in common usage). The EBow is a battery-powered electronic device for playing the electric guitar. The EBow uses a pickup - inductive string driver - feedback circuit, including a sensor coil, driver coil, and amplifier, to induce forced string vibrations. The Ebow is monophonic, and...

They're neat

flawr

But still I think they are using some other kind of effect.

Alex A.

Sounds like reverb

flawr

Hm they do great stuff!

@AlexA. I remembered this thing from here (WOTE)

Optimizer

the first digimon adventures opening song .. the guitar solo is really nice in it.

flawr

I noticed that from a bunch of bands I discovered in the last few years, I sometimes only really like one particular album, that has a totally different style than the rest.

E.g. Agalloch (Ashes against the Grain), Woods of Ypres (Green Album) e.t.c

what's google?

@LockOpeners a lot of people are doing it.

@quartata I found another function

@quartata contrary to popular belief.. my code is so optimized from the beginning that I don't have to optimize it at all..

quartata

that sounds like premature optimization

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

Alex A.

In that case you should change your name to Optimized, since you don't do any optimizing.
