Let's say we have some periodic function f. The goal is to represent it as a bunch of sine waves. This is called a Fourier series (FS).
The FS coefficients are given by
โ 2โ
ฯ
1 โฎ -iโ
kโ
x
fฬ(k) = โโโ โฎ f(x)โ
e dx
2โ
ฯ โก0
for whole numbers k. We can then approximate the original function with
n
___
โฒ -iโ
kโ
x
โฑ fฬ(k)โ
e
โพโพโพ
k = -n
and make the approximation better by making n larger.
For non-periodic functions, we can still get an approximation! The Fourier Transform (FT) uses a continuous range of frequencies instead of whole numbers, and the sum is replaced by an integral (the inverse FT).
FT's are used everywhere, for example in signal processing and spectroscopy. If a recording contains an annoying high-pitched noise, we can apply the FT and filter the unwanted frequencies. Spectroscopy separates light into its different wavelengths. By comparing the resulting spectral lines with known measurements, we can determine which elements and molecules are present in stars and planets, for example.
idk what more to add ._.

I had a burrito yesterday that was too big to finish. This has never happened to me before. It wasn't even that big, I've hoovered up burritos the size of my arm before. I think estrogen gave me small girl stomach.
sh?
made the world's sketchiest electrolysis thing using stuff i had in the house and a ยฃ50 box of electrolysis needles. getting the needle down the pore needs some practice but regulating the current is easy (adjust contact area with the spoon), and the hairs slide right out after treatment. i feel like i should apply some more effort but i'm burned out rn and just wanted to do something simple.

Stress eating so hard I feel like barfing.
Did my injection. Need to figure out where to hide all my shit. Also, is it okay to use the same alcohol wipe on the top of my vial and then on my injection site? I only have 10 left. Not sure if I have any isopropyl alcohol I can use instead.

I hate being trans. I hate my body and voice. I hate having to come out. I hate surgery worries. I hate my life in general. I wish it wasn't like this. I don't know how to cope with it. It feels like I can't. I just wish I was happy and okay. Why does being trans have to be so difficult. I want the dysphoria to stop. The suffering. This is all a nightmare. Being trapped in the wrong body with the wrong voice.
I do the same thing lol, at work I use seperate ones (theres no shortage there) but for my own injections I tend to wipe the top of the vial and my tummy with the same wipe. For what its worth, you can use soap and water for your stomach and a good scrubbing - doesnt have to be alcohol wipes.
Also, is it okay to use the same alcohol wipe on the top of my vial and then on my injection site?
It shouldn't be an issue. Sometimes it takes so long for me to get the E out of the vial that the wipe has dried out, so I end up using another one anyways though.
Okay cool. The guide I watched a while ago said to use two and I wanted to be sure. Being a little inconvenient is fine to help me stretch it longer. Thank you.

I feel sick
Why can't I forget
I don't want to be here
It's been three weeks since I moved. The week before I moved, I realised it was going to cause issues and I was correct. Still not sleeping much, still feel unable to continue scheduling stuff for surgery, haven't applied to any jobs, and really losing track of time this week. I like being near my partner, but I feel like I fucked up the good healthcare situation I had worked so hard to get right. If I find a job, it might not even have an insurance plan that the surgeon takes. I wish we could both move back to where I was previously.
I'm barely talking to anyone, but I did start learning how to use Godot. I guess I can take comfort in that.
Just wanted to say that this fourier transform post is 10/10. I apply it to coastal engineering regularly and i love torties - so it really made my day :)
Thank you! 
I had a long distance friend who was one of my first trans friends. They just stopped talking to me one day and I donโt know if I did anything wrong or what. We were so close and sometimes I miss them so much it hurts.

And why is it always some person who fundementally misunderstands non binary identities by reducing us to a "third gender." People do Nawt understand genderfluidity / multigender either. I could go on and on about the different ways people try to invalidate me by not understanding genderfluidity, but I digress.
Lots of "you arent allowed to do that!! thats contradictory!!" like ๐คฆ It makes me mad because i Know they are doing this to all trans people, especially culminating in a transmisogynistic way.
I've done nothing regarding trans thoughts over the last couple of days, but I did think about building a set of mechanical spider legs that I could float around on. I think I actually have all the requisite skills, though its been a while since I've done any metalwork. If I fire up solidworks I can probably generate a bunch of laser cutting patterns. I do not have space for this project.
Transhumanist thoughts are sort of trans thoughts if you ignore the meaning of words.

I want to be fucked so badly but I have a hemorrhoid 
I got a really nice haircut today, I love how it looks and feels. First time a professional has cut my hair since before covid started, I had just been sticking to a buzz cut until last year when I started to grow it out. It's been a rough few days in general but I'm elated at my awesome hair
sounds awesome!! I have grown my hair for about 5 years now, only cutting my ends, because i always have my split down the middle of my head, it's thinning out there, I probably should get a haircut but I'm afraid of professionals lmao
Oh wow, that's a lot of hair! I was a bit reluctant to go as well, but my partner has been getting their hair cut there for a while and the whole shop is super nice and friendly thankfully
Right now it's about at the middle of my back, length-wise, it's nice, I'm trying to switch out the products I use to maybe unfuck it, would really suck to cut it.. there are no hair cutters here that I'd trust to not fuck up my hair with stupid gender roles lol but atp I'll be forced to get a haircut considering it's thinning because I've never changed my hairline, but I'm very reluctant cause if I botch this I'm cooked, it's one of the only gender transgressive things I can do rn
there are no hair cutters here that I'd trust to not fuck up my hair with stupid gender roles
This is the worst, I'm sorry. It sucks that it's such an investment in time to grow too, makes any decision such a big commitment/a lot of pressure.
I know some people have to travel to get an infrequent but important cut because they live where there aren't decent options, idk if that would be possible for you. I guess you're still stuck having to trust someone not to fuck you up though and that's scary regardless, even if you can successfully find a decent place and actually travel there.
I'm very reluctant cause if I botch this I'm cooked, it's one of the only gender transgressive things I can do rn
That's so understandable, you're really between a rock and a hard place there. I didn't realize until I saw this cut and liked it, but I think if it went bad it really would have wrecked me. My hair has only just started to thin a little too and I think I'm going to have to figure something else out eventually, but I'm trying not to think too hard about it
Yep it's a big commitment, I feel like it's part of me now lol; also nope I'm in a very big city but there are no publicly queer people or anything here so it's all cis women salons sadly, good to hear the new cut is nice!!

Today I have felt genuine happiness through the day after coming out to you all in c/chat. I caught myself smiling multiple times throughout the day when thinking about myself in a feminine way, using she/her pronouns and referring to myself by a new name in my thoughts. I haven't felt close to this way in a long time. 
Last night I dreamed of getting my hair done, trying makeup and painting my nails. One of my dogs gets very loud out of nowhere during the middle of the night, so I woke up a few times, and every time I went back to sleep I got jumpscared by the image of a giant lesbian flag. I don't why because as far as I know I'm bi, lol.
Also I have decided to come out on BlueSky too, but maybe because I'm not a poster it got absolutely 0 engagement. Eh doesn't matter, the cool gay people are here anyway. 
hell yeah 
Hell yeag 
so happy for you sister!
yay, thanks sis! 
I don't know anything else but I want to escape my life and never deal with this
Why is my life horrible and unbearable. I can't function. I can't do this.
I've done and seen and know enough. I just want rest.
Can't do shit today, I'm so tiiireeeed. Brain is exhausted
Studying is hard
Lol apparently my dog has a reputation as "the nice one" at the local post office, and mail people tell each other to stop by my house if their route passes it.
claims to be estrogen fan
has never seen the matrix

I was halfway through explaining this tangled web of tax sheltering and billionaire family strife I'm researching for my job before I realized it probably wasn't particularly interesting to my friend who does no work with money
At least they said I was good at telling the story even if they didn't really understand it ๐ซ
As a linguist I understand what you mean. Nobody understands what my job is.
