frequency can be used to measure things that really feel like they should use different units. "how often should my OS check the state of the keyboard" "middle C" this is technically a coherent answer

    @lily@glaceon.social "how fast are we actuating this motor" "middle C" is actually where floppy disk music comes from

    @lily@glaceon.social Reminds me of that one toot saying that some color was some number of octaves above some musical note. (obviously by now I have forgotten all the specifics)

    @lily@glaceon.social it's not really though notes are only defined relative to each other and can technically mean anything

    @lily@glaceon.social @irenes@mastodon.social if this is a coherent answer your types aren’t strong enough (middle C isn’t 260-whatever Hz, it’s at best a longitudinal physical vibration at 260-whatever Hz, if not a value of distinct type altogether that happens to have that as one possible rendering)
