Fast Fourier Transforms Part 1: Cooley-Tukey

11 September 2025 Fast Fourier Transforms Part 1: Cooley-Tukey by Connor Boyle tags: mathematicssoftware I’m planning to write a series of posts about fast Fourier transform algorithms. This first post covers the Cooley-Tukey algorithm, which is the original and most well-known FFT algorithm. The Discrete Fourier Transform If \(x\) is a sequence of complex numbers with a length \(\lvert x \rvert\) and a starting index of 0, then the discrete Fourier transform of \(x\), \(\mathcal{F} \{ x \

Keeping SSH sessions alive with systemd-inhibit

In my Home Lab network I use my desktop for most of my development. Since it’s a desktop and not a server it abides by the power policy setting I have selected. This works great unless I’m working a remote session from anything else such as my laptop, cell, etc. My usual workflow is just an ssh session with tmux, where I wake up the system by issuing a Wake on LAN (wol) from an always on server. After the typical timeout around 30 mins the system goes to sleep which drops the session and forces

Pnpm has a new setting to stave off supply chain attacks

There have been several incidents recently where popular packages were successfully attacked. To reduce the risk of installing a compromised version, we are introducing a new setting that delays the installation of newly released dependencies. In most cases, such attacks are discovered quickly and the malicious versions are removed from the registry within an hour. The new setting is called minimumReleaseAge . It specifies the number of minutes that must pass after a version is published before

This Website Has No Class

Sep 14, 2025 This website has no class In my recent post, “There’s no such thing as a CSS reset”, I wrote this: Think of elements like components, but ones that come packed in the browser. Custom elements, without the “custom” part. You can just like, use them. The line continued to rattle around in my head, and a few weeks later when I was digging into some cleanup work I came to an uncomfortable realization; I wasn’t really taking my own advice. Sure, I was setting some default element sty

Hayabusa2’s 2031 Landing Plan Faces an Unexpected Asteroid Nightmare

On December 6, 2020, the Hayabusa2 spacecraft dropped off pristine samples from asteroid Ryugu in the Australian outback, becoming the world’s second asteroid sample return mission, after the first Hayabusa mission returned dusty samples from asteroid Itokawa in 2010. But Hayabusa2 still has more to offer. That same spacecraft is currently on its way to another distant space rock, aiming to snag more samples to help scientists compile the solar system’s origin story. Recent observations of the

7 Pieces of Wellness Tech That Could Be Covered by Your HSA

A health savings account or flexible savings account can help you pay for qualified medical costs, but that doesn't just mean doctors' visits or medications. "They're also a powerful way to pay for a huge range of modern wellness technology and products," said Chris Byrd, senior vice president at WEX, a global commerce platform that administers HSAs and FSAs. According to Byrd, recent research from WEX and Visa found that having the flexibility to use HSA funds on qualified expenses was one of

For Staying Present, I Now Click on This Bird ID App Instead of My Meditation Apps

To stay grounded in the present moment and practice mindfulness, I've tried all the breathing exercises and meditation apps designed to help with this sort of thing. But what has helped me the most in my quest to stay grounded is an app I never expected: one for identifying the birds around you.

A Collision With Another Planet Could Have Allowed for Life on Earth

the Earth you walk on today might not be the same planet that was born 4.5 billion years ago. Many scientists believe that in its infancy, Earth collided with another world the size of Mars, and that instead of being destroyed, it was transformed, incorporating the mass of that foreign body to become the planet we know. Recent research adds another layer of relevance to that hypothesized cosmic event: Scientists believe that without that other body, the basic conditions for life to emerge on Ear

Meta’s New Smart Glasses Got a Subtle Name Change. It Speaks Volumes About What’s Wrong With Them

In the early days of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg and his team famously adopted the motto “Move fast and break things.” Posters with the phrase reportedly adorned the company’s Silicon Valley headquarters, alongside other, similar sentiments like “Done is better than perfect,” and “Fail quicker.” The focus for the young company was clear: Being first was more important than getting it right first time. As the company grew, Zuckerberg—in an interview with WIRED— started to distance himself from, or

Anti-Trump Protesters Take Aim at ‘Naive’ US-UK AI Deal

They banged drums. They played extremely loud music. They let off foul-smelling smoke from a can. Thousands of people gathered on Wednesday in central London to protest against Trump’s presence in the UK, accusing the UK government of kowtowing to him by hosting him for a state visit for the second time. Some of the placards read “Trump poisons democracy’s blood,” “Trump’s a wanker,” and “Tiny dicktator.” On one banner, surrounding a depiction of the US president as an infant wearing a diaper,

Cybercriminals Have a Weird New Way to Target You With Scam Texts

Cybercriminals have a new way of sending millions of scam text messages to people. Typically when fraudsters send waves of phishing messages to phones—such as toll or delivery scams—they may use a huge list of phone numbers and automate the sending of messages. But as phone companies and telecom services have rolled out more tools to detect scams in texts, criminals have started driving around cities with fake cell phone towers that send messages directly to nearby phones. Over the last year, t

Ambrosia Sky is an essay on death masquerading as a sci-fi cleaning sim

Dalia is a death cleaner. Death cleaning, as we know it, is the process of sanitizing and tidying the spaces where people take their final breaths, sometimes long after their bodies have begun to decompose. It’s a job here on Earth in the year 2025, but Dalia’s version of death cleaning takes place on the rings of Saturn in a distant future filled with space travel, interplanetary colonization and devastating disease outbreaks. In this scenario, death cleaning involves spraying chemicals over b
