Q: When to use symmetric vs asymmetric (periodic) window functions?

bluenote10Libraries like scipy typically offer constructing window functions in a symmetric or asymmetric flavor. I'm aware of the rule of thumb: Use symmetric for filter analysis. Use asymmetric for spectral analyses like STFT. I have never really seen a good explanation of this rule of thumb, and I wou...

Q: What was the last major-brand x/86 PC to have a 14.318 MHz NTSC clock on the bus?

Miss UnderstandsBoca Raton put it on the ISA bus so it would be easy to build a TV monitor. The 16-bit bus was an extension of ISA, so I assume it was there. I think most 386s still had an ISA bus. 486s too, I believe. I don't remember, even though I sold them. Bonus curiosity: Did MicroChannel or EISA retain th...

Q: Skipping simplification in linear equation yields quadratic equation

LearnerZechWhen learning about linear equations, I can't help but notice that the equation $\frac{x}{x}=x$ can be be turned into $x=x^2$ if I do not simplify $\frac{x}{x}$ to 1: $$\frac{x}{x}=x$$ $$x*\frac{x}{x}=x*x$$ $$x=x^2$$ Notice that I multiplied both sides by $x$ on step 2, and yields $x=x^2$ on step...
