35-minute run, 12 pull-ups.Comments
The Pokémon end-of-battle music kept on looping in my head, and I just realized (or re-realized?) that it's actually the first half of Mary Had a Little Lamb, slightly modulated. -

- Messed around trying to get Juce's Hann window to work correctly. Ended up writing my own Hann window function (which is actually not that complex) but still getting weird results. It may be the graphing tool.Comments
- Finally wrote a carefully worded email to someone from my former company (who I actually think is genuinely cool) that I can't do work for that company and sent it. -
We went to an outdoor party this evening. It was cold, but there was fire. I haven’t been around fire in while. It’s pretty cool!Comments
Also, while there were some people we recognized and talked to, there was kind of a “masquerade” event because it was dark, and people were masked. Situational anonymity, I guess it could be called. -

- Spent an hour and 22 minutes on an email explaining a bookkeeping spreadsheet I made to the condo association.Comments
- Fixed a segfault in the vocoder and got the C++ one to zero out the nyquist reflection in the FFT result to match the pd one. The magnitudes are still way different. And I think the Hann windowing has weird results. -
I guess Miryoku is the latest hot keyboard layout. And it does look like you don't have to reach much with it. But there's six layers! Six! I would never know where I was.Comments

Sometimes I forget that at his age, just walking around a 3d world and picking up rocks in a video game is good times. That's literally what he did while playing Yonder today, which seems thoroughly mediocre.Comments

Huh, I checked in a commit on the C++ vocoder last Thursday that caused a segfault. I guess I was not my most perceptive that day!Comments

- Got my specific-block-logging pd external to properly get arguments from the patch. Hooked it up in place of my old external that logged an entire signal. I think I am finally comparing almost apples-to-apples across the pd and C++ versions because the block of the raw carrier signal I'm logging looks almost the same when graphed. I think the biggest difference I see in the C++ side is that FFT results are mirrored around the Nyquist frequency — they're not discarded.
- Read some Piketty.
- Made dinner.
- Paid a bill.
I spent a lot of time looking at stuff on the internet. Some of it interesting but useless, like terrible medieval drawings, some of it just truly worthless, like reading about an actor on Gilligan's Island having Parkinson's disease and making a brave attempt to act…on The Harlem Globetrotters on Gilligan's Island movie. I don't even like Gilligan's Island! -
I like this interview with Laraaji in general, but especially that he quit being a comedian because it was a demeaning way to get laughs, then instead started running laughter workshops, which got people to laugh directly.Comments

Dag, the next paragraph in Piketty:Comments
Not until 1901 was the sacrosanct principle of proportionality in taxation
Current US bicameral flaws are also not new.
finally undone. The law of February 25, 1901, established a progressive tax on inheritances, the first progressive tax adopted in France. A progressive tax on income followed with the law of July 15, 1914. Both taxes occasioned lengthy parliamentary debates, and it was the French Senate—the more conservative of the two chambers, because rural areas and notables were overrepresented in it—that delayed adoption of the progressive inheritance tax, which the Chamber of Deputies had passed as early as 1895. -
Piketty:Comments
In the early decades of the Third Republic and universal suffrage, the main issues were the republican regime itself and the place of the Church in it. In addition, peasants and other rural dwellers, including some who were not very rich, were wary of the ultimate designs of socialists and urban proletarians, whom they suspected of wanting to do away with private property altogether. Indeed, their fears were not totally unfounded, and the wealthy did not shrink from stoking them to frighten the less well—off. Progressive taxation has never been and will never be as uncontroversial as some people believe.
This was in the late 1800s. This cultural division among the non-elite happens a lot. I wonder if the left back than was all, why are people voting against their own self-interest?
Maybe people have always had a submissive streak. -

Finally got out of bed. Because I’m not accustomed to physical pain after all the quarantining, every bit of minor joint pain sent me back down, even though I couldn’t fall asleep.Comments

The day started out well, then turned terrible. I found myself wanting to move us out of the country somehow? Tomorrow is statistically likely to be better. -
Neighbors were having some kind of loud-ass barking dog party outside. I went out and asked them to keep it down. I don't think they liked it, but I feel great about it.Comments
