epirogov··on Ask HN: How did you teach analog electronics to your kids?
For a child, this is still a routine, but if the school lessons are boring, such an unusual lesson can even be interesting. Then you need to measure the wires, carefully lay out all the parts and wires on the table, and be careful not to mix up the positive and negative terminals. I don't let them use a soldering iron, but they can, for example, press the power button while I take measurements. Sometimes you can take measurements yourself. Listen to why something didn't work. In any case, analog electronics is for those children who value attentiveness, especially if they need to build a truly useful device and are missing parts.

epirogov··on Tell HN: I wish there was "IntelliSense" for math-heavy papers
I tested the form generator

https://products.aspose.ai/pdf/form-generator

which generates LaTex from headings, paragraphs and other document controls. And it also generates formulas from descriptions. I copied some text from my article and got a fully functional LaTex with formulas:

Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus links differentiation and integration. It consists of two parts:

If f of x is continuous on the interval [a, b] and F of x is its antiderivative, then:

integral from a to b of f of x with respect to x equals F of b minus F of a.

If F of x is defined as an integral function:

F of x equals integral from a to x of f of t with respect to t,

then F of x is differentiable, and its derivative is the original function:

d by dx of F of x equals f of x.

Taylor Series Expansion

A function f of x can be expressed as an infinite Taylor series around x equals a:

summation from n equals zero to infinity of (nth derivative of f at a) divided by (n factorial) times (x minus a) to the power of n.

For example, the Taylor series expansion of e to the power of x at x equals zero is:

summation from n equals zero to infinity of (x to the power of n) divided by (n factorial), which expands as 1 plus x plus (x squared divided by 2 factorial) plus (x cubed divided by 3 factorial) and so on.

Complex Line Integrals

In complex analysis, contour integrals play a crucial role. The contour integral of a function f of z along a curve C is given by:

closed contour integral along C of f of z with respect to z.

A key result is Cauchy's Integral Formula:

f of a equals (1 divided by 2 pi i) times the closed contour integral along C of (f of z divided by (z minus a)) with respect to z,

which holds if f of z is analytic inside and on C, and a is within C.

Previously I used OneNotes, but git is better to works from 5 my workstations with collisions.

epirogov··on Ask HN: Got asked to build AI agent that replaces humans. Would you do it?
Inspired by the Encodya game, I think it's good for living humans to extend their ideas with robotic minds to protect the next generation.
epirogov··on Ask HN: What browser do y'all use?
I read HN content from Falkon Browser.
epirogov··on Ask HN: Alternative to VS Code?
Cudatext has small memory and CPU requirements, I prefer to use it for legacy workstations.
epirogov··on Ask HN: How can I browse public GitHub repos on 128kbps connection?
I checked Lynx and it doesn't work, but Elinks and Links works in terminal with GitHub, so you can use a very thin device and a little bandwidth to go to an online repo.
