No big story, just a neat animation of a Fourier series.
[Ed. additions follow.]
JavaScript is required, but it seems to run okay after in Pale Moon and NoScript after enabling bgrawi.com and ajax.googleapis.com; also, the page benefits from a large display: be sure to scroll down and see the component equations and their output, too.
Sometimes, a picture IS worth a thousand words. Was taught Fourier series back in my college days, but that was before MATLAB and Maple were generally available. Posting this in hopes others may find this interesting and illuminating, too.

In December, Firefox was used ten times more than the Edge browser, but less than one-third as much as Chrome.

It seems the main raison d'etre of Soylent, in the last day or so, has been intell on what javascript to allow in order to view sites. Is it just me, or am I paranoid, and am just thinking it is just me?

The inavoidable Wilbraham-Gibbs peaks [wikipedia.org] were bugging me since college and now thanks to this discover and learn about the Lanczos sigma factor [wikipedia.org]. Cool.

...the article came in just in a break from (leisurely) studying the Jupiter 8 VCO sawtooth core schematic. (Anyone knows by chance how Op 1A[123] and TR1A are supposed to regulate the current out of the joined 3046 emitters?).

It's a cool animation but it seems to keep crashing my Pale Moon installation after some seconds. Might be something to do with RequestPolicy blockages but it shouldn't happen. : ( Anyone else had an outright crash?

I use Pale Moon as my default browser only so it opens all links I click by accident precisely because I know whatever shenanigans I open will not work as the person who crafted them intended. It is its main feature.

whenever i hear about the Fourier series of Fourier Transform, i always think, "Fourier, TRANSFORM!" but 80s style [tfw2005.com] Σ(ﾟДﾟ；)
