  • If you can build up intuition around Fourier decomposition I think it gets much easier to understand.

    Multiple things going on at the same frequency are indistinguishable (up to a phase). Lots of stuff going on at different frequency can be separated. Light also has frequency (color) and volume (intensity)---it may be more intuitive to conceptualize in this way.

  • Full list of degrees not classed as ‘professional’ by Trump admin

  • A professional degree is historically different from an academic degree though. Math, chemistry, physics, biology, computer science---these typically produce (well compensated!) professionals, but they are not professional schools.

    I am professional; I get paid to do the kinds of things that I did in grad school. But afaik no one would say I hold a professional degree.

    All of this is besides the point of course---our student loan system shouldn't disqualify people based on these sorts of semantics.

  • I was interpreting the quoted text as encompassing all engineering fields, e.g., EE, mechanical, computer, etc.

    If that's not the case and this is for specific professional engineering degrees then yep, I certainly agree with you.

  • This is actually the one that I would agree with (edit: see below), if the difference is "professional" vs. "academic." I certainly wouldn't call a natural science degree professional, and if you're in a research institution studying some form of engineering I'd probably put you in the same category. Just my experience/opinion though (and the rest of the exclusions are super stupid, I agree).

    Edit: from the replies, this is referring to Professional Engineering; in my corner of the world, "Engineer" is an overloaded term that generally means electrical, mechanical, software, and sometimes computer engineer. My comment was referring to these engineers, who are rarely licensed and study alongside scientists in school. I completely agree with parent in the context of "professional engineering" (I mean...it's right there in the name...).

  • If you search around you might find free ones. Oracle has/had a free tier (though it's Oracle, so...).

  • Yes, but you can run multiple VPS, from different providers, simultaneously.

    What I like is that while it does depend on an external provider, it doesn't depend on a specific external provider. Any VPS with a public IPv4 would work.

  • VPS+VPN, this is what I do.

    VPS has public IP and runs WireGuard "server"* and a reverse proxy (and fail2ban...). Reverse proxy points to my home computer over the WireGuard link. No open ports on my home router.

    For private facing/LAN-only services I just don't have an entry in the VPS reverse proxy. DNS on the router points everything to my local server, so if at home I access everything directly. To access internal services remotely requires VPN (i.e., WireGuard to the VPS).

    Works well; I have a tiny free tier VPS but even so, no complaints.

    *Yes I know there are no wg clients or servers, only peers, but it plays a server-likr role.

  • Americans with six-figure incomes are in 'survival mode'

    Jump

  • In a VHCOL area, $100k with one child is extremely tough/you're likely dipping into savings. Our daycare alone is over $40k/yr per kid, and only $5k ($7500 next year) is fully tax exempt.

    Median 2 bedroom in my area is over $50k/yr.

    $100k doesn't cut it. "Just move to a cheaper area" is IMHO not a proper response to this---anyone who works in my city should be able to afford to raise a family here, with a high quality of life/standard of living, but that's not really the case.

  • Economically mediated de facto sterilization is an extremely dystopian thing to just accept. I think it's pretty justified to be more or less outraged in this case.

  • Prop 50: Californians pass redistricting measure that helps Democrats flip up to five House seats

    Jump

  • The messaging on 50 has been great IMHO. Basically, "this is an affront to democracy, but Texas did it first and if we take the moral high ground we're screwed."

  • Having lived without a dishwasher for many years, I'm never complaining about loading/unloading the dishwasher. From starting the kettle to finishing a pour over is more than enough time to unload.

    And never again having to schlep clothes to the laundromat because we have laundry in our home? Likewise, I'm not going to complain. The only reason laundry takes real effort is when we opt to use the clothesline instead of the dryer.

    Not everyone has a dishwasher, washing machine, and clothes dryer, so I absolutely recognize that I'm very fortunate here. And the crazy thing is, these devices aren't even particularly expensive, especially since they can be had used --- I think a big reason folks don't have them is the installation+room required. Which probably says something about landlords and the general cost per area of housing.

  • Americans had "unity" after 9/11

    Uh, no we didn't. Source: am American, lived through that period.

    Yes we had a brief period of unity (and solidarity with NYC) following 9/11, but as soon as the American War Machine woke up, my country was intensely divided.

  • I used Photoprism years ago, so my knowledge is probably pretty outdated.

    My experience of Photoprism was that mobile was not tightly integrated. At the time I used Syncthing to sync photos --- it worked ok for me, but I wasn't going to set it up on my partner's phone, for example.

    Immich Just Works on both mobile and desktop. Multi user is great, sharing is great, and the local ML and face detection work remarkably well.

    Whatever works for you is the best of course! Immich fits the bill for me, and it was very much worth it for me to "buy" it.

  • YSK tricks for one of the cheapest meals: beans and rice

    Jump

  • That's how I start my refried beans. After pressure cooker add oil (lots...), salt, and a little vinegar. Sauteed onions, cumin, chili powder also good.

    I think it's way better than any vegetarian refried beans that you get in a can. Probably because they have more salt and oil...
