America by First Aid Kit.
You need to watch the video which is them singing live with Paul Simon in the audience. Very touching.
Trivia point, this song shows that if you are no good at rhyming (The Goes Rhymin' Simon) it should prevent you from writing a classic.

Two hours of that, and we'd be like Gerard Hoffnung's oboeists, getting quietly sozzled while nobody noticed.

Only 8 notes for the Cello? Have you thought of writing a variation for the cellists?
Here's one of those weird bits of coincidence; thread necromancy relating to a discussion I was having with a junior colleague yesterday (lovely Iranian lass who's not long out of her EE PhD)CliffEdge wrote:Never heard of assert?Sorcery wrote: Ok Ok I get it.

Code: Select all
#define _STR_CAT(a, b) a##b
#define _STATIC_ASSERT_AT_LINE(predicate, line, file) \
typedef char _STR_CAT(assertion_failed_##file##_, line)[(2 * !!(predicate)) - 1];
#define STATIC_ASSERT(predicate, file) _STATIC_ASSERT_AT_LINE(predicate, __LINE__, file)I was just going to suggest this but by The Sex Pistols.Mike4 wrote:I'm surprised no-one has posted the most stand-out example of a cover WAY better than the original...

Understandibly given programming isn't a core discipline of Electronics Engineering they skip a lot of the stuff that I'd consider essential in the real world "asserts" being one of those things...
- that said I've known plenty of "professional" programmers who are frightened to check stuff because "it works"
Anyways here's a bit of fun I picked up a long time ago for when your compiler doesn't have static asserts
- yes... it's using the predicate failing to crash the compiler by defining an array of length -1Code: Select all
#define _STR_CAT(a, b) a##b #define _STATIC_ASSERT_AT_LINE(predicate, line, file) \ typedef char _STR_CAT(assertion_failed_##file##_, line)[(2 * !!(predicate)) - 1]; #define STATIC_ASSERT(predicate, file) _STATIC_ASSERT_AT_LINE(predicate, __LINE__, file)
- can't fail faster than before it's been run
and to bring it round on topic:
