Retaliate over a downvote? Nah. If people don’t like what I say, they have a right to express that.
Anarchist, autistic, engineer, and Certified Professional Life-Regretter. I mosty comment bricks of text with footnotes, so don’t be alarmed if you get one.
You posted something really worrying, are you okay?
No, but I’m not at risk of self-harm. I’m just waiting on the good times now.

Yes because nobody will hire someone with disabilities and finding a job is incredibly difficult without disabilities.
Same boat here. Maybe it helps to know at least you’re not alone. Fuck capitalism and fuck ableism for making it so hard for us to participate in their world.
Yeah because I haven’t been able to land a job as an autistic person with my degree (BS in electrical engineering) and (lack of) experience (six months of research). That and my age (late 20s) are really the only compelling reasons I can think of for not being able to land a job.
No, turtles never even existed, I’ve never seen one. /s
Infinite-dimensional vector spaces also show up in another context: functional analysis.
From an engineering perspective, functional analysis is the main mathematical framework behind (1) and (2) in my previous comment. Although they didn’t teach functional analysis for real in any of my coursework, I kinda picked up that it was going to be an important topic for what I want to do when I kept seeing textbooks for it cited in PDE and “signals and systems” books. I’ve been learning it on my own since I finished Calc III like four years ago.
Such an incredibly interesting and deep topic IMO.
I actually designed a digital equalizer using an IIR filter this semester, which actually does theoretically work on sequences of numbers, which constitutes an infinite dimensional vector space. The actual math was just algebra and programming, but it was an implementation of a Z-transform transfer function which is a sequence operator (maps input sequence to output sequence).
IMO infinite-dimensional stuff shows up in two types of problems:
For some reason, you need to solve the partial differential equation you started with, i.e. you can’t use symmetry or approximations to simplify it into an ordinary differential equation.
When you’re dealing with signals that change in time or space, you have to decompose those signals into simpler signals that are easier to analyze.
some wysiwyg editor for LaTeX
LyX is basically that.
IMO LyX is way simpler than LaTeX for basic stuff, but because it is literally not Microsoft Word I couldn’t really use it to collaborate with people this semester, let alone convince them to work on a full LaTeX document. LyX would be the way to go if my colleagues were even remotely interested in learning about literally anything. You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink…
RIP in spaghetti, never forgetti
For anyone wondering, this is from /r/photoshopbattles. Excellent shitpost.
I mean how else are you supposed to unclog your cock?
Yes. Can’t find work so I definitely can’t afford to move out. I moved out briefly during college and while it was unsustainable, I was so happy nonetheless.
