Article from yesterday, India News. They discuss the wave in Asia, how Hong Kong is seeing its highest infection rate in over a year. In one week, 31 hospitalizations for #COVID. This strain is now here, mainly in NYC and LA, but a COVID wave is coming to the USA next.

Oh my have I been having fun at this Glass nerd Art Society conference.

Just recently we went to the Parlay pipe show (usually in Philly) after Susie Silbert gave an amazing talk about glass pipes. The pipes in person are really wild- the level of detail is incredible!

I have been hearing such nice things about my work and it leaves me super flattered every time. I'm thrilled to see so many glass friends and artists I admire. I bent Kacie Lees' Texas pattern a few days ago in front of some friends... Gonna pump it tomorrow before I give a demo at 10:30am- WIIFM in ruby red with wholesale bends.

Meryl Pataky and Taylor Healy gave an amazing lecture on neon conservation that had some of my work in it and made my eyes tear up it was so beautiful. Its been so fun to see old friends and make new ones! Some usernames on this other weird photo site include @alexfreschglass and @calyxann

@cocoaphony I've gone back and tested it and tearDown is being called even if the test throws.

This is with

print("⚠️ \(#function): start")
defer { print("⚠️ \(#function): end") }

in the provideScope, setUp, tearDown functions.

I guess that means the Test macro is wrapping the body and not really throwing but rather reporting the error when `provideScope` has finished running.

The test function still has to be throws so that we can write tests that throw in case of failure.

@bvibber oh boy now you're talking my language. ;)

We should chat, I've got some ideas on how to better transfer structured data as "wikitext" args. And the Wikifunctions folks have some useful interactions there as well.

Short story is that arguments and return values for parser functions are PFragments, which can be rendered as wikitext/HTML but also passed directly as a structured value.

Eg {{#function:foo|{{#function:bar}}}} - the value returned by bar could be rendered as a wikitext string, but could also be addressed directly as a zobject by #function:foo avoiding all the games we usually have to play to armor structured data against wikitext transforms.

Generalizing a bit: {{foo:{{#array:foo|bar|baz}}...}} is a way to pass a structured array as an argument, with {{#array}} being a constructor function for that value.

Etc.

Looking for ideas for building a little #Rstats function.

Let's say I asked a bunch of people if they felt older, younger, or the same age as half a dozen randomly-selected ages.

Let's say that because that's what I did.

Example: Jane is asked this question about ages 17, 19, 25, 38, 41, and 52.

Each person answers younger/same/older to each of the ages (each person also gets a different selection of ages to answer).

Ultimately, I want to use those answers to get an estimate of the age each person feels. First, however, I want to see how numerically consistent each person's answers are.

Examples: if Jane said
17: older
19: older
25: older
38: same age
41: younger
52: younger

That's numerically consistent. However, if she said

17: older
19: younger
25: older
38: same age
41: older
52: younger

that's not consistent (she can't be both younger than 19 and older than 41).

It's also consistent if she said she felt younger than all the ages or older than all of them.

Maybe because it's late or maybe because I'm slow, I'm having a hard time approaching this. I'll leave it on the back burner for a couple of days since it's late where I am and I won't have time for it tomorrow.

If any of y'all (and many of you are ridiculously more quantitatively skilled than I am) have ideas of how to approach a function for this, or -- even better -- if a solution already exists as a formula or something, lay it on me. I'll be in your debt*.

The Fourier Transform is a mathematical operation that transforms a function of time (or space) into a function of frequency. It decomposes a complex signal into its constituent sinusoidal components, each with a specific frequency, amplitude, and phase. This is particularly useful in many fields, such as signal processing, physics, and engineering, because it allows for analysing the frequency characteristics of signals. The Fourier Transform provides a bridge between the time and frequency domains, enabling the analysis and manipulation of signals in more intuitive and computationally efficient ways. The result of applying a Fourier Transform is often represented as a spectrum, showing how much of each frequency is present in the original signal.

\[\Large\boxed{\boxed{\widehat{f}(\xi) = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} f(x)\ e^{-i 2\pi \xi x}\,\mathrm dx, \quad \forall\xi \in \mathbb{R}.}}\]

Inverse Fourier Transform:
\[\Large\boxed{\boxed{ f(x) = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \widehat f(\xi)\ e^{i 2 \pi \xi x}\,\mathrm d\xi,\quad \forall x \in \mathbb R.}}\]
