There is both Fourier series and the Fourier transform. For each, need to establish that they exist. Then will usually want to know that the inverse transform DOES approximate the original function. Details are in 4 books by W. Rudin. One of these, on groups, I ignored. I did too much group theory, e.g., wrote my honors paper on it, and didn't want to do more.

Principles does Fourier series and does not use measure theory. Real and Complex Analysis does the Fourier transform and uses the Lebesgue integral, that is, measure theory. Functional Analysis does Fourier theory with distributions.

I had serious courses from Principles and R & CA. Also Royden and Neveu. All from a star student of Cinlar, long at Princeton. I read FA, quickly. I don't much care to bother with distributions.

I got into applications via the fast Fourier transform and power spectral estimation as in Blackman and Tukey.

There is an intuitive view that sort of works: The given function is a point in a vector space, with an inner product. The sine waves are coordinate axes. They are orthogonal. The Fourier things are projections of the point onto the coordinate axes. The inverse Fourier thing reconstructs the original function. If use only some of the coordinate axes, then get a least squares approximation of the original function. This all works exactly in ordinary linear algebra, e.g., as in Halmos, Finite Dimensional Vector Spaces, sometimes given to physics students studying quantum mechanics.

But these Fourier things have infinitely many coordinate axes, countably infinite for Fourier series and uncountably infinite for the transform, and there the finite dimensional things don't always work. So, Rudin has to be very careful in presenting what does work and proving it -- so with the details it's not easy reading. What fails is a fairly general situation in a fully general Hilbert space. E.g., are not locally compact, but can get some help from a clever use of the parallolgram inequality (somewhat relevant in my startup).

I'm no teacher. I do not now nor have I ever had any desire to be a prof.

For more, get copies of Rudin's books and dig in.

Wonder of wonders, not all physics profs have done that.
DEI statements/policy are basically a 'requirement' for organizations these days. Slap on the by now boilerplate policies, do a few seminars (pay speakers in the circuit) and you should be able to more easily do business with other orgs who presumably as part of the requirement above are only allowed to do business with DEI-compliant orgs. A big old virtue signaling circle jerk and nothing important ever really changes.

Pico.js – A face-detection library in 200 lines of JavaScript (2018)
A few years ago my friend stayed with me for two weeks and he was doing “no alcohol August” just to see how he felt, and I joined him. I realized that I felt way better most of the time. I wasn’t drinking much before that, but even one IPA with dinner would make me feel super foggy the next day and sometimes anxious.

Otherwise I’m similar to you - I love the taste of beer and cocktails.

So I basically said after that I’d only have a drink if I really, really wanted one. At first, maybe this was once a week. Slowly, as I got better at saying no and listening to my body and realizing I could go without and still have a good time, I started having it less and less. A few years later, I have maybe one drink every three to six months and usually will drink it so slowly that it barely has an effect. If it starts to feel like a downer, I stop drinking it - doesn’t matter that I spent the money on it.

For what it’s worth I’ve found the “only when I really want it” strategy helpful for stopping other habits too - that’s how I slowly became vegetarian, for example.

I think a huge part of this too is that it gets around “hating yourself when you fail”, because there isn’t really failure with this way of thinking. It’s typical to have all or nothing thinking around this kind of thing - “oh, I had one drink, now I’m off the wagon”, or “I had one pastry, might as well give up on my diet”. But there is no wagon! That’s something you make up. There’s just the choice you have in front if you. If you have alcohol one night, it doesn’t mean you failed, or got off the wagon - it just means you had alcohol one night. That has nothing to do with whether you’ll have alcohol again the next night.

On a more practical alcohol specific note, I loved finding out that craft nonalcoholic beers like ones from Athletic Brewing Company, Untitled Arts, and Rescue Club are actually quite good and can hit the spot of having a beer for me! If I’m at a bar, I’ll sometimes order a seltzer with a splash of bitters if I want something that looks and tastes a little like a cocktail to avoid questions but I don’t really care about getting asked questions anymore.

And then again a big aspect is the social piece - hopefully you have supportive friends who don’t care that you don’t drink. It does take some getting used to in social situations to just explain “Yeah, drinking just made me feel shitty so I slowly stopped and now I rarely drink.” Over time I’ve learned to have a lot of fun sober though - even to dance comfortably. But I’ve also learned that what my dad used to tell me back in high school is actually kind of true - that if something is only fun because you’re drinking, it’s probably not worth doing!

Best of luck with your adventures! Let me know if you have any questions.

Most of the ones I know are former colonies.

If you wanted a Double Irish With a Dutch Sandwich, that never hit any current UK country. Ditto for Caribbean nations.

UK is deep into sleazy financial schemes, but I didn't think it was a major player specifically here.
The habit of drinking may be harder the break than the need for the buzz of alcohol. Try weaning yourself off the drink first and the act of drinking second. Meaning try to not have an alcoholic beverage, while still having A beverage at the same places, with the same people. Leave out the last ones first then only take every second one with alcohol, then only drink non-alcoholic. You can break the habit of needing a drink in hand later.
I am mostly working as a contractor so I don’t know the feeling of staying many years in the same company.

But from time to time, I asked myself « is there anything else I would rather do? »

And the answer is always no.

Considering I have to work to make money, I don’t think there is anything else I would rather do for 40h/week
I tried to search for a song I found to be quite cool, Rotoscoping by PTRD. I got two matches, one "Discover Weekly Archive" made by Skiley.net on behalf of NomadicDaggy (you, the creator of this post and service). The second one was a "On Repeat"-playlist! Here, I realized that it's possible to look at other people's "On Repeat"-playlists, even though they are styled by the Spotify app to look like it's your own.

It's kind of weird that I only found this song in your playlists, and not in one of my playlists which also contains this song. For example: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0IntLgAqI2EysEvqwiivXQ?si=...

Anyway, I'm checking out your "On Repeat" playlist, however it might be better if your personally generated playlists are excluded? I'm not sure.

Really cool service!

The process you describe is far more about growing up than about IT. Though I'll admit that young people with some interest are probably exposed to far more naive idealism about tech / computers / programming than about, say, being a carpenter, or accountant, or ER nurse, or member of the clergy. And these days, tech stuff is easy to have as a "basement hobby" as a kid. Vs. it's difficult to get years of idyllic young "experience" managing a restaurant, or working at a steel mill, or being in the army.

It's important to understand that resolve is something you need to practice, it's like a muscle. Every time you give in to a temptation, your resolve weakens. Every time you resist, it gets stronger.

Practicing like this quite literally rewires your brain. Strengthens the ability of the amygdala to regulate behavior. If you give in to every impulse, you teach your brain to exercise less impulse control.
In a smaller scale, this is also what the French solar panel manufacturer Dual Sun [^1] sell with their geothermal+hybrid panels solution for individual houses.

- In winter, heat is generated with a geothermal heat pump and an horizontal underground network of pipe.

- In summer, the thermal solar excess energy is used to warm up the soil that has been cool down during winter and also to avoid permafrost.

It doesn't need to be a prison. That's why I phrased it as I did, but if you tear up two public houses and society says you have a right to a third, that third should be indestructible even if that means it's less comfortable than the ones afforded to people who manage to care for them properly.

In response to the edit I must have missed.

1. Crime rates reduced: I mean, of course they did. It was not longer a crime to be using those drugs, so there was no reason to be arresting people for possessing them. I don't know about you, but that seems pretty simple to me.

2. HIV rates reduced: I remember reading something once upon a time ago that made mention about how HIV rates plummeted all around the world (except in Africa) during that same time frame. Yet the rest of the world definitely hasn't decrimed/legalized all drugs. Might be worth looking into that more and see if maybe Portugal just had a happy coincidence.

>> Link: Not what I read, but shows some of the same or similar data I remember. https://www.kff.org/global-health-policy/fact-sheet/the-glob....

3. Overdose deaths: Strangely enough with humans, once something is no longer illicit, they want it less. They are also less likely to overdose on said drugs because they aren't having to risk a bad batch from a bad dealer as much, that sort of thing. So this is a win for legalization, I must admit; but it's a pretty loose one, since the whole "can't have it, thus want it" effect is pretty strong with humanity. Not having it anymore cause they can have it could be part of this reduction. Needs more looking into. (I would hope that before downvoting, people would look into things like the reduction of marijuana use among some people because it was no longer against the law, thus 'cool' to be a user of marijuana here in Canada and I think some American states as well. This applies to basically any drug due to how human psychology operates.)

4. I think most of those reductions are going to have more to do with happy coincidences, and the conjunction of rehab use, since the use of said drugs isn't as socially stigmatized anymore, thus neither is rehab.

(Edit: Look, folks. I get it, some of you really don't like what I have to say here. That's fine. But please, give me a break. I'm a new person here, and I'm just trying to add context to the conversation. Thanks for understanding, hopefully.)
If you come down with some severe health issue from mildly starving yourself for many years you will never attribute it to the starvation. That's part of why anecdotal success stories are mostly worthless, they're laden with agenda and unfalsifiable.

Much of what modern Stoics put forth appears to be an excuse to dissociate from emotional pain, not cope with unchangeable fate or hardship.
> it is extremely clear to me that some kind of control of the money supply is necessary, otherwise you get depressions

I disagree, and I will attempt to explain myself clearly.

Artificially modifying the money supply or interest rates (cost of money) breaks the market’s ability to self-regulate. Artificially low interest rates and money creation leads to an artificial boom period. This pushes investment into areas where it would otherwise not be directed (consumer goods vs producer goods / generally bad investments i.e. subprime mortgages, risky tech, etc..). This eventually results in a bust period as the system realizes its mistakes.

The real problem is the creation of an artificial boom, the bust is just a natural reaction to that boom.
The latter is also easier to re-inline accidentally because

go func (x int) { do_work(x) } (x)

seems like a very roundabout way to say

go do_work(x)

The "x := x" solution too suffers from this problem but slightly less: both idioms look like they are no-ops (while they are actually not) but at least "x := x" is weird enough to look like it was a deliberate choice, not some vestige from refactoring.
I know plenty of people, myself included, with similar anecdotes. For me it was LSD.

I've been sober for five years, starting the year I was finishing at university. At this point, I was taking prescription stimulants, smoking weed, and drinking every single day, and never had a moment sober. It had been that way my entire university experience, and I was slowly exiled from every social circle I attempted to join, and had various near scrapes with devastating consequences, but nothing stuck.

The summer before my final semester, I took LSD with my girlfriend. It was during that trip when I realized I needed to stop, or I was going to continue to be miserable. It took about another three or four months for me to realize the thought I had was the truth, but I quit, and have not relapsed in over five years now. That also means I haven't taken acid since that trip. I don't think I'd need to in order to stay sober now, it has just become the way I live my life.

I wound up getting heavily involved in 12-step recovery programs, which I admit, are not for everyone, but saved my skin, and gave me a group of sober people to call and add to my social network. I still go to meetings, but I think my experience with LSD made me realize that was the path I needed to take.
Yes, higher liquifying point.
Overwatch: Learning patterns in code edit sequences

I was very fortunate that my dad could take his dept's HP-85 computer home during the school holidays - they used the bigger HP-86 to run departmental reports.

The HP-85 had a little CRT screen and built-in printer.

During the evenings my dad did some actuarial programming on it and during the day it was all mine to play around with - made my career in programming.

Mobile phones are the new PC today but sadly they don't expose themselves like the machines of the past to programming and the likes - maybe it is good thing that they are appliances.

Those that wish to discover things like we did will find their way to Rasberry Pi etc ....
The discussion[0] pretty explicitly says that support isn't planned, so it's not just that there is a lack of developers. Either way, I would assume that the effort needed to add server-side decorations to GNOME would be way less than the combined effort of having every single GUI toolkit & program directly using Wayland needing to draw their own decorations (in addition to resulting in a better end-user experience of having native decorations everywhere).

> This article is about storing energy generated using renewables in reservoirs; not about tapping into geothermal energy.

I think it’s about both. They plan to create reservoirs that heat water _and_ use them to store warm water. Also for the latter the outside heat source will provide energy.

FTA: Enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) get around this geographical limitation by creating artificial reservoirs. Developers create fractures in hot, dry rock formations by drilling into or melting the rock, and then injecting water into the fissures. Production wells bring the heated water up for producing electricity. “For scales necessary to contribute to national or global electricity decarbonization, we need to be able to extract geothermal heat outside of conventional formations,” Ricks says.

[…]

Once these EGS systems are in place, they would be ideal for storing energy as well as producing electricity. Excess wind or solar energy could be used to inject water into the artificial reservoirs
AI is neither expensive nor difficult to operate. You likely unknowingly use AI multiple times a day - so it clearly can't be difficult OR expensive if you don't even notice that!

Im assuming you mean the many GPU hours that go into training the HUGE ML models like DALL-E, etc. That is FAR from the norm.

After following online courses I was able to solve real problems in my domain of interest with nothing more than a few hours training with a relatively small (<500MB) dataset on my PCs GPU. It cost WAY less than a dollar to train, and is now used by thousands of unskilled users on their mobile devices daily.
What I'd love is a program that automatically downloads and archives any article-form website on which I spend more than a minute in a browser, and makes everything full-text searchable. Does something like that exist? Perhaps it could be solved with a local proxy and some smart heuristics on request timing in a browser-agnostic way.
FWIW, apparently the OpenBSD devs maintain their own fork of ISC's server, which is available at least on FreeBSD via ports/pkg. So if just want to keep using the good ole DHCP server you have grown used to while also receiving updates, you might want to look into that.
I stopped drinking because when I was a teen, I was into hardcore music a lot. And one of my favorite bands was Earth Crisis that preached straight edge lifestyle. That was how I quit drinking.
I feel that anyone trying to work with rich text and thinking Markdown is the best guide should look back in history to Wordperfect and Wordstar. The problem being described here was well handled in both, with the ability to toggle the formatting codes on/off to get the precision when you needed it, but turn them off and just type when you don't.

I think it is great that people are trying to improve on editing UX - just don't skip researching the old solutions, too.

Hmm, I think there's more to it than you mention, then. It sounded in the first comment a bit like "I thought about it and I quit", but I guess there's more intention/reflection (and more often) than that?

Can you go into the details a bit more? It sounds interesting.
what the comment describes is actually a central point of the "Easy Way" book mentioned many other places in this thread.

> The original sets a hypothetical stage and from that its conclusion, I think it flows better.

The stage is "years ago", and conclusion is "go.mod would not have existed and this would have an even bigger impact". My version re-arranges the sentence so that "go.mod not existing" bit is a part of the premise, not of the conclusion.

Tense agreement in English subjunctive is hard. Especially for non-natives such as me: I do parse the original statement like that and just can't bring myself to understand it otherwise.
In this case it doesn't matter if you're a tax payer though. Central bankers have no power to levy taxes, they manipulate the value of the currency itself by altering rates and bond market interventions.

> 1. The people on the other side of the bad loan, who aren't expected to pay back the money, are making bank by taking on silly levels of risk and then benefiting from the bailouts

Which people? Which loans? Please please be specific.

> These loans aren't available to ordinary people or businesses because the terms would obviously put any individual far too far ahead

Again, which loans? What are the collateralization rules for them? What are the interest rates? Do you think an individual and a bank have the same credit score?

You cannot expect to be taken seriously if you just allege "crime" without specifics.

> There isn't any reason to believe the loans are being paid back

Please distinguish between "default" and "rollover". There is nothing wrong with rollover unless the risk has changed?

> Every time it looks like debts might get called in on aggregate

This can't really happen in a world of pension funds, because that's what the other side of the balance sheet is: the increasing number and amount of money owed to future pensioners. That's why the US "social security balance sheet" (which is accounted separately for some reason specific to the US) keeps increasing.

> coordinated giving of massive funds

lending?

Example of "wasting"?

> Prices could be a random walk around an average, for example.

That's "inflation targeting at 0%"; it's both politically and practically achievable, but you do have to convince people that the locally-deflationary effects aren't a problem. And you can't avoid external shocks: if you embargo Russian gas, prices are going to go up, and that's inflation regardless of money supply issues.

> the UK pension funds were getting margin called on their safe assets

Yes - UK govenment bonds (gilts), which suddenly look a lot more risky in the presence of stupid policy decisions. Quite hard to find a safer asset, though.

If you used the median then only actions which affected the utility of someone in the top 50% and bottom 50% would have any moral impact. e.g. two miserable people torturing each other or helping each other would be neither good nor bad, since the median would not change.
This is a valid take, but it further fragments the Linux desktop. There are already too many different standards and technologies and transitions going on. Some of them for good reasons admittedly. Desktops only being compatible with their closely aligned toolkit is the last thing we need.
