Blinking can be disabled in RStudio, too, though it's not the default. I know this because RStudio doesn't respect my XFCE settings, where blinking can also be disabled, or the blinking-rate set (almost) OS-wide.

There is a whole host of orthodox dual-pane file managers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_manager#Dual-pane_manager....

On Linux, I'm using GNOME Commander, and Midnight Commander in the terminal. On KDE, Krusader is the greatest.

You can do anything in Python.

Basically yes, but his statement is mixing up things a bit. The Discrete Fourier Transform transforms a complex vector of length N to another complex vector of length N. In the latter, each of the N elements corresponds to a frequency "bin" and, like complex numbers in general, can be represented either by a real and an imaginary part (like Cartesian coordinates), or by a phase (==atan(Im/Re)) and a magnitude (==sqrt(Re^2+Im^2)) (like polar coordinates). Obviously, whichever you choose, you need both components for unambiguous representation.

The Fourier transform of white noise is white noise, so that doesn't matter.

Technically, many of them are named after famous scientists, so the possibility is certainly there. Who knows what people will think of our Lord Kelvin 10,000 years later. Maybe eventually we will have to change those names, too, if they become dirty, rightfully or not.

True, but people don't commit crimes against humanity in the name of any arbitrary mythologies, only certain ones. We shouldn't propagate those kind of myths any further.

OK, thank you for clearing this up!

Although the author couldn't do it, the problem is obviously solvable, and not even that difficult.

This is for the 1D case, but since the Fourier transform is separable, it works identically in 2 (and any N) dimensions by performing the transform sequentially in every dimensions.

I don't think Chemistry in and of itself is a thing, or was it ever. It always has to be applied to something, and then the possibilities are endless. After all, everything is made of chemicals, isn't it? Personally, I'm in food, I also have an MSc in Food Engineering, and currently preparing to start a PhD in that area (NIR spectroscopy, Hyperspectral Image Analysis). But there is also the oil, pharma, bio, environmental, etc. areas. (Also, in British English "Chemist" means "Pharmacist". I always wondered, what they called a Chemist?)

Also chemist here. Think about it the other way around, not synthesis but analysis. For example: "The term "Brown noise" does not come from the color, but after Robert Brown, who documented the erratic motion for multiple types of inanimate particles in water." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brownian_noise)

Your first point is spot on, but the second is not: for the signal to be real valued in the time domain, the negative and positive frequencies have to be redundant in the complex valued frequency domain.
