   I fear that by dropping high frequency components, the result becomes visually unappealing (such as lines being parallel in the original becoming extremely wiggly and non-parallel). Maybe OP can make an example with high frequencies removed

   As I understand a "time series" is created for both x und y coordinates, then these are fourier transformed for the spectral components. Then when redrawing, only the real parts are used. Is it necessary to do it for x and y separ

   Regarding indentation versus braces: In the beginning, I always thought python's only weakness is that it relies on indentation for code structure and I feared that some day my code will be messed up because of that. However that fear

   ... and definitely read objective-see's blog post from time to time if you are into security topics. The malware take-apart documentation is extremely enlightening. (Intereseting fact: A lot of malware quits immediately if Little Snitc

   I especially liked the example of the interactive cross-filter: https://altair-viz.github.io/gallery/interactive_layered_cro... However I didn't get around to learning the principles to use it regularly. And I fea

   I hate what phones do to photos of persons. Blurring out details that accentuate the character of a person only to make it social media style (beautify). Life is not what you see in social media, life is what people actually are.

    Very good illustration how "full inertial physics" works (in contrast to what can be seen in sci-fi movies). This is a huge potential procrastination catalyst :-)

    This algorithms is obviously used in solving the n-body problem (references to gravity fields and electric fields in the article). I have a question. Although the article clearly states that this is not an epidemiological problem, I wonder

    One thing i‘m missing is a bit a generic one, but here goes: What are the principles that make a democracy? (e.g. freedom of opinion, freedom of press, separation of powers a.k.a. checks and balances, Rule of Law etc.)

    I definitely agree that with this amount of data, you should move to a more programmatic way to handle it... pandas or R. Keep in mind that pandas (and probably also R?) internally uses optimized structures based on numpy. So a 10 GB csv, d

    I don't think the original article was about not giving the best to achieve things, but more about diversifying skills to achieve a reasonably high level more efficiently compared to focusing on one skill.

    I guess people being at the 99 percentile of one specialized thing probably are better compensated (with respect to salary) than people being at 99 percentile of their array of skills. However, maybe for the latter, also compensation is an
