By increasing the length of the FFT you lower the apparent noise floor in the FFT magnitude plot and are able to detect smaller signals. That's called "FFT processing gain". The formula is:

FFT gain = 10*log(M/2)

where M is the number of points processed in the FFT. Doubling the number of points, lowers the apparent noise floor by 3 dB.

(I don't know if that's what the researchers actually did. I'm just explaining what the comment presumably meant.)

Did you use

  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

That would probably be enough to look good on mobile too.

Isn't that what middle click does in Qt?

To me, as non-native, it seems that it may be because the idea [1] of "cases" was already introduced. So, at the start of a conversation you would say:

- The rules of a/the are simple.

- Not really, if you think so, then you haven't considered _all cases_. There's this exception and there's that exception. [...]

but:

- The rules of a/the are simple.

- Not really. There's this exception and there's that exception. [...] If you think the rules are simple, then you haven't considered _all the cases_.

[1] but take what I write with a big grain of salt, I can't explain why I wrote "the idea" or "the start" and I'm not 100% sure if that's correct :)

According to most comments here this should be "at a school" then :)

I'm confused. The parent doesn't want big commits but rather, as they wrote twice, commits that are small, atomic and without noise. So presumably "fix typo" would be removed during rebase but "rename function" would stay and be separate from "implement logic".

IIUC, "clearly shows" doesn't apply to "they have certain concerns" but rather to the part that you replaced with "...". In other words "the statement clearly shows that they value [their certain concerns] more highly than the kind of stuff we tend to think the EFF primarily cares about"

I clicked on some random post from 2020, 19 em-dashes.

> Normalization increases gain of all frequencies at any given point-in-time while reducing gain of all frequencies at other points in time.

When you do that then the difference between the loudest and the quietest part of the audio gets reduced. That's dynamic range reduction.
