A large part of west Nebraska is known as the “sand hills” it’s not very fertile mainly cattle ranchers are out there. It is interesting that 30 miles or so east of where sand hills start is some very good farm land, but go west into the sa

You should try to petition your state governor office to get the felony removed. It is a long time consuming process and will likely need help from a lawyer, but I have friends that have successfully gotten their felony removed after severa

I am also glad the FDA protects us from chemicals and ingredients that would cause processed food to be unhealthy and harmful, if they didn’t do that we would probably end up with an overweight population and tons of food related health pro

I was considering this, working on a new javafx app for a side project. Using java 17, and generating binaries with fxlauncher/jpackage/wix is not working great imo. Any good recommendations on tooling for using the graal route? I

You will make it. Screw the gate keepers and build something for you and your own people. Sounds hard because it is, but that’s life, either way it’s challenging, so keep your head up and move forward.

Not bad (chat gpt can do this too) but it seems to be on par for this “simple” task: > Write me a python function that accepts a list of filenames and uses threads and queues to load them in parallel with the pickle library … > Also,

Iowa is the 12th most rural state according to 2020 US census [1][2]. It is 63.2%, urban, so true it’s not mostly rural in terms of total population, but it’s pretty rural. [1] https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/ge

“Do I want my 16-year-old operating a power saw as a job? No, I don’t“ - then don’t let them? Why do you need to make it illegal for everyone else? Iowa is mostly a rural state, and growing up on a farm you learn to operate power tools when

It’s annoying but not super hard to replace apple batteries, atleast for iPhone you can just buy a $30 kit on amazon and replace it, even with a higher capacity one too. It could be made easier but it takes less than 30m start to finish, an

This is cool, I briefly read through the paper, one thing I’m curious of is how hard it would be to add ability to do scale transformation (eg zoom in/zoom out) in addition to translation and rotational transformations. Would it be as

The FFT is not used for that. For multiplying two polynomials C(x) = A(x) B(x) then FFT is used to evaluate the polynomials (evaluated at complex roots of unity) to FIND the Lagrange interpolating polynomials for A(x), and B(x) in O(nlogn)

by foooobaba 4y ago
Related: Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) can be used for polynomial interpolation in O(nlogn) time (if you get to choose the points, and use “complex roots of unity”), where n is the degree of the polynomial, and is used as a step in multiplic

You may need both therapy and experience. I have no idea if this is the case, but maybe you’ve had a rough time with things and you just think it’s normal since being tough and just continuing on no matter how hard it gets is just a way of
