Clipping. is also in some ways about existing on the edge of stomachability, about taking us outside our smooth-rhodes boom-bap power-chords comfort zone and exposing us to the feedback and distortion that usually means the sound guy doesn’t know what the fuck he’s doing. Here though, it’s a testament to producers Bill Hutson and Jonathan Snipes’ mastery of their various machines, as well as their understanding of recording as an art form.

Hang on - in the preceding paragraph I said "different computational models". Isn't that rather a grand phrase for a build language? Well no, it isn't. All the build languages I've used (make, ant (Nant), and rake) use a dependency based style of computation rather than the usual imperative style. That leads us to think differently about how to program them. It doesn't strike most people that way as most build scripts are pretty short, but it's actually quite a profound difference.

Pattern rules A basic pattern rule will match a part of a file path/name, usually the extension, like this:
%.o: %.c $(CC) -o $@ -c $< This will provide a way for make to produce a .o file if it can find a corresponding .c file. It can be triggered when something which is being built depends on that .o file, and there isn't a rule with a more specific target to produce that .o file. Make
%.o: %.c $(CC) -o $@ -c $< This will provide a way for make to produce a .o file if it can find a corresponding .c file. It can be triggered when something which is being built depends on that .o file, and there isn't a rule with a more specific target to produce that .o file. Make

Slim and bespectacled, Elmendorf could play a college professor on TV. “A quiet man who thinks carefully about everything,” the New York Times once said of him. Indeed, he deliberately chose a baseball game for one of his first dates with his future wife. “You want to be sure there’s something going on to fill the lull in the conversation but not like a movie where you can’t talk,” he explained.
