Something similar happened to me once. I still don't know what exactly happened, but in Dropbox some files were deleted, I still had my local copy, but then Dropbox synced the file deletions and I didn't notice. Only when it was too late did I notice that files were gone and their support was unable to help. I think I managed to recover some files with one of the NTFS "undelete" tools, but that was probably the day I started to treat "the cloud" differently. Nowadays I don't even know what's still in my Dropbox ...
I was clearing out Dropbox when I moved away from it, and it _wouldn't_ let me delete my copy of `tex.web`, because it thought it was some sort of special dropbox file. (It was the source to TeX.)
It's been a few years, but I think I managed to delete it in the web UI. (This was on macos, and they had a kernel extension keeping an eye on things by that point.)
I really enjoy board game adaptation of Dorfromantik.
Its a rather relaxing co-op game.
There's also a "Duel" version of the game were two players (or teams) compete by playing with the same sequence of tiles. :)
The bsnes emulator has a similar problem.
The official "website" is the Github repository at https://github.com/bsnes-emu/bsnes/ but some unknown entity has snagged bsnes.org and is now also publicly linking to SNES ROMs they host on Github (Github doesn't care, you can report those repositories as much as you want. If you're not a rights holder they won't do anything).
Another part of this is the rise of search, period.
Back in the Ancient Times, when "search" sites were in fact, directories of sites, not unlike the Yellow Pages, you had a categories and listings.
I've been using The Emulator Zone since 1997. Long before Google, and found them under Yahoo's "Games" category. Since they've been around for over 25 years, I trust them. The often do grab the software from repositories and make it easily available. The site does have ads, but I haven't encountered a malicious one. It's all for stuff I actually use (Microsoft Azure, fragrances from House of Creed, and Hertz Car Rental right now), so I have a little leeway with these people, but TEZ has never actively attempted to obfuscate or confuse the reader unlike this site and others like it.
Pages like TEZ or the "Awesome XYZ" list repositories that have become rather popular on Github are perfectly fine.
Those are great hubs to get a grasp of what's available. Sometimes they are a little out of date, but if you're interested enough you'll find the up-to-date information by yourself :)
But these parasitic pages that pretend to be official (project) pages should be purged. :/
For now they might link to original releases, but they could very well switch to malicious downloads from one second to the next after having gained enough "trust" and traffic.
And that *unofficial* bsnes site reflects poorly on the emulation community because they actively promote downloads of game ROMs hosted (practically) on their website because they control the Github repository the games are uploaded to.
From that article, that's the original Hamming windows with a_0 = 0.54 and a_1 = 0.46.
> Setting a_0 to approximately 0.54, or more precisely 25/46, produces the Hamming window, proposed by Richard W. Hamming. That choice places a zero-crossing at frequency 5π/(N − 1), which cancels the first sidelobe of the Hann window, giving it a height of about one-fifth that of the Hann window. The Hamming window is often called the Hamming blip when used for pulse shaping.
This is pretty much how I feel every time delving into FFTs. Like, I get the concept, but something in my brain just shuts off when it comes to actually trying to grok it. I do however very much appreciate those that have created software where I just provide --input and they handle the rest.
I also have trouble wrapping my head around all of this, and complex numbers, for that matter. Never mind that I'm employing this stuff all the time in GNU Radio.
I'm one of those freaks who use Unity to this day. :)
In the beginning Unity was rough, but the last version was actually quite comfortable to use.
At the moment I'm daily driving Ubuntu 20.04 with root on ZFS, but I'm debating really hard whether I should distro hop or not. I dislike Canonical's insistence on "snap", their advertisements in "apt" output, ...
But on the other hand Ubuntu gave me mostly a "it just works" experience on my desktop for multiple years. For a while I ran Arch on another system and had quite the opposite experience. Upstream broke dependencies at least twice for example, so a lengthy session of "how the heck do I fix this" ensued.
My Nokia 8 (bought April 2019) doesn't last a day anymore. Not even half a day. The battery is so done, I must basically always have my powerbank in my backpack. :)
When it's cold outside (let's say around 4 °C) it's not uncommon for the phone to suddenly shut down while using certain apps, even when it thinks the battery is at 50%, it just can't provide enough power in those situations anymore.
When I bought the phone the battery was one downside I thought about but thought "it will probably be OK". I was wrong ^^
And due to its aluminum unibody construction you must remove the display to replace the battery, nothing I would want to risk on my daily driver device.
confirmed, thanks for correcting me. Dealing with such reports across many versions and copy-pasting lots of data & Git commit IDs is extremely prone to failures, even after careful re-reading.
