We have no idea whether the signal had a pattern because the only recording we have of it consists of averages over 10-second samples, so any modulation <10s (or patterns larger than the 72s recording) would have been lost. It could have

I think what you want is to just make a function and pass it the values: const template = ({name}) => `hello ${name}`; const n1 = template({ name: 'joe' }); (Tagged templates won’t help here because the bit in curly br

A working domain needs one validation every ~60 days, but these zombie domains sound like they’re making multiple requests per hour (per the article, twice daily would still take 10 years to hit the limit) which is a massively disproporti

The client only needs to get indexes for the specific search; if the index is just a list of TF-IDF term scores per document (which gets you a very reasonable start on search relevance) some extremely back-of-the-envelope math leads me to g
