Don't have a reference on the top of my head, but the main idea is as follows: The definition of MGF of a random variable with PDF f(x) is E[e^{sX}] = int_{-inf}^{inf} f(x) e^{sx} dx The definition of Laplace Transform of a signal f(t)

One can also think of probability generating functions as (flipped) Z transforms, moment generating functions as (flipped Laplace transforms), and characteristic functions as Fourier transforms of the respective PMF/PDF. Lot of their p

Is this just risk seeking behavior (in contrast to risk sensitive)

I found their reviews to be a bit too rosy and not highlighting the weak points of the products properly. But I do not find them to be biased. The most honest source is Voja's My Deep Guide Channel on YouTube. Very detailed and informa

Ratta (SuperNote) does not have front light. At least the A6X that I have. I don't think that the new version (Nomad) has a front light either.

It will be fascinating if there were a way for you to record the actual time when you do eat lunch (without the time being revealed to you; say a Rasberry Pi where you press a switch to record current time but it has no display). I am curio

The same way that one would use markdown :-) (you JS libs or TikZ or Metapost packages).

I use ConTeXt, and it is relatively simple to get each environment to whatever you want (plus you can code everything in Lua).

I often wonder, if one is going to add such tags anyways, why not directly use LaTeX, ConTeXt, XML, ... for example \begin{conccurrent}{Hacker News Thread} I'm writing in an HN thread. \end{concurrent} is not so different from the mar

Is it possible to generate the planner for A6X. The customization options do not seem to mention page size.

A bit attraction of _tiling_ WMs is ... automatic tiling of windows. Does Gnome do that (haven't used it seriously in about 2 decades)?

Curious as to why you thought that this was an ad? Julia Evans has written a bunch of such zines in the past as well and they are quite informative

Note that context also support for spreadsheet like calculations in tables, so it could perhaps be translated at markup level.

Julia also has x |> f as a syntax sugar for f(x) and is useful for the same reason as Mathematica.

The difference with caste is that caste is inherited. If you wear rose-coloured glasses, you can assume that hiring at FAANG is merit based and a non-FAANG can move to FAANG if they want. That’s not possible with caste.

I had a similar setup for creating PDF files from RSS feeds ( https://github.com/adityam/rss2kindle ). I was simply downloading the webpage, using pandoc to convert HTML to ConTeXt, and typesetting it via ConTeXt (this g
