aaaaaaaaaab··on The day I found Saowen.com had stolen my content
Chinese stealing IP. Color me surprised!
aaaaaaaaaab··on Why are amplitudes complex?
The most intuitive explanation is simply that in the complex domain sinusoids can be represented as exponentials, and a phase shift becomes a simple multiplication by a constant. Thus sinusoidal signals can be manipulated according to a fairly simple algebra.
aaaaaaaaaab··on Being Fit May Be as Good for You as Not Smoking
But the being rich beats both in terms of life expectancy.
aaaaaaaaaab··on JavaScript Getter-Setter Pyramid
Yeah. source/sink would have been a more appropriate terminology IMO.

Matolcsi’s books are available here for those interested: http://szofi.elte.hu/~szaboa/MatolcsiKonyvek/
aaaaaaaaaab··on Introduction to Applied Linear Algebra: Vectors, Matrices, and Least Squares
Prof. Boyd is a great teacher! I highly recommend his course on linear dynamical systems [0] and convex optimization [1] too.

The former is beginner stuff, and while convex optimization is more advanced, both are very engaging and clearly explained, with lots of anecdotes and practical examples!

aaaaaaaaaab··on How Sketch Took on Adobe
Sketch is mostly vector-based...
aaaaaaaaaab··on Google One
Lol, I would just buy multiple 2 TB subscriptions from different accounts.
aaaaaaaaaab··on Make photomosaics, GIFs, and murals from pictures in Python with ML/OpenCV
Ok, but where is the ML part?

We’ve been creating these mosaics for decades...

A what? Fraudulent click? Lol. There’s no such thing.

Google actually banned this from the Chrome store so it must be hurting them.

Indeed as an engineer this is the best course of action in our industry.

>There is no pressure to perform or participate in a hackathon

I guess you haven't had the pleasure of participating in monthly workplace "hackathons". Of course participation is optional, but it can look good on your promotion case wink-wink nudge-nudge.

>power hours

The proven solution is to rename "power hours" to "hackathons".

aaaaaaaaaab··on Windows Server 2019 Includes OpenSSH
Windows UX is really polished? Are you on Win7 by any chance?
aaaaaaaaaab··on Seemingly Impossible Swift Programs
But a natural number can be viewed as a function from the natural numbers to {0, 1} via its binary expansion.

There's a trivial isomorphism between the natural numbers and binary sequences with finitely many ones, so a predicate of type `nat -> bool` can be viewed as a predicate of type `(nat -> bool) -> bool`.

aaaaaaaaaab··on Nasa's Voyager 2 probe 'leaves the Solar System'
Yes.

Direction + a large enough receiver on Earth. Oh, and lots of error correction.

aaaaaaaaaab··on Seemingly Impossible Swift Programs
I don't get it. What prevents us from doing the exact same approach for the natural numbers? I.e. represent the naturals lazily via the successor function and use the same exhaustive search as the OP for BitSequence. Of course if the predicate doesn't stop evaluating successor(x) for any finite x then we're out of luck and the computation doesn't halt, but this caveat also holds for OP's BitSequence, as others have pointed out in this thread...

Q: Is it true that the great poet Vladimir Mayakovsky committed suicide?

A: Correct, and his last words were “comrades, don’t shoot!”

TLDR: audio “shaders”.

I bet many Google projects also use `leftpad` internally.

aaaaaaaaaab··on The Riots in France Are What Happens When Facebook Changes It Algorithm
Oh come on! The French don’t need no Facebook for a good riot.

aaaaaaaaaab··on Goodbye, EdgeHTML
>Electron is the future of apps

Lol.

Nevertheless, I hope they go all-in because a gimped JS Office would finally let other players to innovate in the word- & spreadsheet processor niche without the MS .

Fingers crossed brother, finger crossed!
