Just a letter from the pope, often about how Catholic teaching relates or applies to some modern issue. They present nothing new in terms of Catholic teaching itself, but, through the pope's authority, serve as important guidance for the faithful.
Nice! I wanted to do this sort of thing when I was playing around with 3D game programming in the late 90s / early 2000s, to capture how a wider FOV looks in movies. Alas, computers were too slow and I was too inexperienced anyway.
I've always thought the basilar membrane was a fascinating piece of biological engineering. Whether or not the difference between its behavior vs FT really matters depends on the context. Audio processing on a computer, FFT is often great. Trying to understand / model human sound perception, particularly in relation to time, FFT has weaknesses.
Learned about the tonnetz (among other models) from the book "Audacious Euphony"... Challenging (and unfortunately too expensive now), but fascinating stuff...
Yep. He tries text in another video by flipping pixels for one or more frames, so the words disappear very quickly. Definitely harder to read, especially longer words: https://youtu.be/EDQeArrqRZ4
Good for a book's first reader. What I really hate is browsing a used bookstore and finding something interesting or ordering a used book online, only to find it covered in markings (especially as some readers seem to highlight the most banal things). Very distracting.
I usually can't bring myself to mark up my own books for fear that I will distract my future self (or some other future reader if I sell or donate it), but will take notes separately. Although I've found that most books usually have hardly anything at all worth noting, and I'm not sure taking notes for its own sake, without any idea of its future usefulness, is necessarily worth it. Perhaps the hope is that a bunch of random knowledge just sitting in your memory will somehow automatically make itself useful when the time comes, which to be fair happens now and then, but usually if its not useful for very long, into the land of the forgotten it goes.
