Yup. I had an infestation thar took months to get rid of. Turns out they were in an old bag of dried peppers.

Common misuse of words. Decimate means reduce by 1/10 not almost completely destroy. Exponential growth. The variable has to be in the exponent if it’s a constant exponent that is polynomial growth. Gaslighting isn’t just lying. It’s making someone belive that they can’t trust their own memories or experiences so they believe you despite evidence to the contrary.

That’s probably the best way to read it.

Naked Lunch. It’s a dark strange read but it suck with me.

The book is better but the movie was pretty good.

I found my next read. Copy ordered.

I read Mother Load by Zach Huges decades ago. Not as strange as the one you describe but I still remember it.

I’m pretty sure that was the intent.

Kimono

After the book came out congress was shockingly fast to pass new laws. It turns out the plant profiled in the book had the contract for the congressional cafeteria. That’s how you get political change.

They destroy whatever they can. They chew cables, rip siding and nest in insulation. Make wherever they can smell of piss. If you try to grew anything edible they eat the sprouting fruit, nuts, and leaves then start eating the bark and kill the tree.

Reading some interviews with her and she does seem to think money makes right.

Yeah I think he is expecting an Atlas Shrugged moment. where everything collapses as the intellectuals (him) walk away from the foolish socity.

God emperor of December.

Taxes in the US for crypto are easy. I sold some crypto I had and just put the amount in the other income box and paid the tax.

I use VSCodium and other then bulk comment / uncomment and renaming I’m not sure what you’re talking about.

I’d love some examples to help improve.

Frequency folding is the term used in DSP no need for quotes. The Nyquist frequency is commonly referred to as the folding frequency.

And yes frequencies above the Nyquist folding frequency alias into lower frequencies. A simple low pass filter prevents this however.

Properly filtered digital sampling produced a more accurate reproduction of the frequency range with less distortion then an analog signal.

I just got a notification on my phone telling me that I can chat with my PDF documents

I belive you got that notification but I honestly have no idea what it even means.

It’s Nyquist–Shannon. Norquist is taxes.

Also frequencies greater than half the sampling rate aren’t lost they fold into lower frequencies unless filtered out.

But if you think it’s easiser to capture those room acoustics with analog equipment the non linear amplification and distortion of any analog system is going to change the sound just add much if not more then a good digital system.

So yeah both lose or distort the signal but digital does it in avery predictable way that can be accounted for and it does have a frequency region that it captures precisely. Analog doesn’t.

So I got my AA at community college and my bachelors in computer engineering at a university. Other then math and physics there wasn’t a ton of useful classes in CC.

But if you are going to an ABET accredited school (or similar if outside north america) you are going to learn a lot in university.

You should learn how to analyze basic RLC circuits. How semiconductors work at a atomic level. How to design basic transistor circuits. Logic gates both design and analysis. Flipflops (the simplest computer). Computer architecture. A programming language or two and some basic assembly. How to use an oscope, logic probe, and multi meter. Basic digital signal processing, fourier transform, and linear controls.

There is a ton to learn and it’s not stuff you can just pickup on the job.

Keep at it and good luck.

First os was whatever was on a apple II. First linux was fedora. I spent 9 years using various red hat disteos as my main work machine.

Gaming kept me on windows at home. Now that proton let’s me game i’ve been running mint debian for over a year and loving it.

My wife uses arch btw.
