You, a tech startup with millions in angel finance: made an app to turn handwritten maths into TeX.
Me, just the worst kind of smart alec: convinced a pen #plotter to turn TeX into handwritten maths

@n8 Wiener deconvolution is pretty standard, and is provided by e.g. the scikit-image package for Python. I agree it would be useful to have it as a graphical app, though.
The term "non-technical" (as applied to people-in-the-software-business-other-than-programmers) is pretty obviously pejorative and biased; I think most people get that.
But some days it hits me just how delusional it is that the software business refers to itself as "the tech industry", as if other things are _not_ technology. Like, go build a microscope, genius; then you can get back to spouting off about how the world revolves around NodeJS....

Tom Lehrer has released his songs and lyrics into the public domain.
What a nice thing to do.
A universal differential equation
Article by Lee A. Rubel
In collections: Fun maths facts, Unusual computers
There exists a non trivial fourth-order algebraic differential equation \[P(y',y'',y''',y'''') = 0,\] where \(P\) is a polynomial in four variables, with integer coefficients, such that for any continuous function \(\phi\) on \((-\infty,\infty)\) and for any positive continuous function \(\varepsilon(t)\) on...

@elilla I would use them in a distraction-free writing mode.

@elilla Wait, you use Emacs too? I’m not sure I knew this.
I haven’t used plain Emacs for a long time, though (I used Spacemacs for a while, but have recently started converting to Doom Emacs.)

@elilla I’m with you! Also because Iosevka has the right metrics for mixing with CJK text.
By the way, did you know that Iosevka has proportional variants as well?
