Off topic: I'm reminded of a very small unit of time that was devised to be a least common multiple of various division of time like 24fps, 30fps, 44.1kHz, and a ton of others in video and audio. Does anyone remember what this unit was?

I think you might be referring to this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flick_(time)
Also, somewhat related, the "TU" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/TU_(Time_Unit)
That's it! Thank you very much.

I searched around on Wikipedia for it and couldn't find it. I might recommend some edits when I have the time.

Do you mean the facebook/oculus flicks? Wonder why the repo is archived...

ninjaed :(

That's exactly it! Thank you.

I would imagine it's archived because there's nothing else to really be done. It's basically a blog post. The header can apparently be replaced with three lines.
