  you need to sample at 2x or more the highest desired frequency to get proper reproduction

  You need to sample at 2x the desired bandwidth, just bandpass filter the signal appropriately before sampling and you won’t get aliasing.

  There’s an even larger one between the atlantic and pacific ocean, just north of the gulf of mexico.

  Why can’t they just use birds like for everyone else?

  I’m not even convinced that horses are real.

  Do they still watch The Thing in Antarctica, or did that tradition stop?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ukraine isn’t invited to its own peace talks. History is full of such examples – and the results are devastating⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s the point of ceding part of your country for peace, if you get invaded again a few years later? That’s not peace.

  If it’s in english and it shows up like that then it’s most likely because you have your language set to english (USA).

  For social anxiety you’d usually do cognitive behavioral therapy and your therapist would tell you to go to your friend’s party.

  rectangle is a black box (“don’t worry what’s in here, we promise it’s not gremlins”).

  It’s where they store the magic smoke.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you see yourself cutting off by a generation of gaming?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s just like books, just because the are lifetimes worth of old books doesn’t mean I should ignore the new books. I read a mix of classics and recent releases, both usually through the library.

  And it’s not like all the old books are interesting, same with games. Just because there is a lot doesn’t mean it’s all interesting, or maybe it’s not what I’m currently interested in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Absolute slander⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is completely ignoring perspective, and I’m also questioning the entire methodology how the length of this cat is measured. It’s like measuring how tall someone is while sitting.

  Link to the Shrek Burger King toy video?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pants⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on the problem you’re trying to solve, just keep it consistent and don’t mix the two.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hate that that happens⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, you mean word endings for plurals, well those depend on the gender and the singular word ending. They can be a bit confusing, because they’re not always regular like local -> locaux, but naval -> navals. You have that in other languages too, even in english, like goose -> geese, but moose -> moose, mouse -> mice, house -> houses, and so on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hate that that happens⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  French has different pluralization rules for up to four objects

  What?

  “Fake” interviews with dead people is surprisingly a common thing in journalism.

  Looks more like Windows 7, the start menu button has the same height as the task bar, in Vista the start menu button is higher than the task bar. Also apparently Prof. McGonagall is teaching French.
