Pretty sure you can just make a software implementation on an Arduino or some microcontroller, and connect it to the SPI bus. Of course, it would be relatively easy to extract the keys from an Arduino's flash memory, which undermines t

This is indeed a good example. I think what you are looking for in GIMP is the Heal tool[1]. It sounds a bit like the xyproblem[2,3]: what you want is a way to erase part of the picture, not "the clone/stamp brush in GIMP". I

I also came here to quote that part. The author is completely biased, and his views reflect not what I call "higher education", nor my experience. A friend of mine was offered a well-paid teaching assistant position at a private s

I also like the "Dynamic Gain" effect. Used this to great effect recently in a conf call, with multiple people sharing a microphone. Without it, it was barely possible to make out the words of some speakers. With it, it was pass

This is one of the use-cases of EasyEffects, and one of the motivations behind my switch to pipewire. Select input or output, switch to the effects tab, and add the noise reduction effect.

Is that an example of the sunk cost fallacy, or corruption/lobbying?

Ah, that makes more sense, thank you for explaining. I would love to see some development archives, and source code for it one day.

While I didn't understand the parent you are replying to (not your answer), your mention of Fusion Frenzy caught my eye. I've had a soft spot for that game since spending hours playing the "xbox magazine" demo with a chi

Thank you for pointing this out. > I don't like it when delta-v maps include atmospheric drag Yes, I find it quite unintuitive, especially as the map is now asymmetric: if you take into account drag on liftoff, you would also take i

> By that metric Venus is the closest at 640 m/s from Earth intercept to Venus intercept By the way, I think there is a typo on that delta-v map. I doubt low Venus orbit to Venus is 27km/s, vs 9.4 for the earth, when Venus grav

Dithering ils also used in signal acquisition: adding some (known) noise before the sensor can help the signal reach the sensor's threshold. It can also help with quantization noise. Of course, that degrades the signal/noise ratio

I came here to inquire about this. The relevant patents haven't been published yet? I wouldn't include this in a commercial design due to potential infringement.

As much as I like the third room concept (I like it, but didn't actually try it), I am wondering how much of a distraction it is for Matrix developers? As a datapoint, a good chunk of my social circles use Matrix, but they seem to in

> i understood why every headphone becomes garbage when you start using the microphone channel AFAIK, this is a codec issue, with most codecs not supporting bidirectional audio. IIRC, newer Bluetooth revisions tackle this.
