This equation is a subcase of Equation "Schrödinger equation for a one dimensional particle" with $V(x)=x^2$.

We get the time-independent Schrödinger equation by substituting this $V$ into Equation "time-independent Schrödinger equation for a one dimensional particle":

Now, there are two ways to go about this.

The first is the stupid "here's a guess" + "hey this family of solutions forms a complete basis"! This is exactly how we solved the problem at Section "Solving partial differential equations with the Fourier series", except that now the complete basis are the Hermite functions.

The second is the much celebrated ladder operator method.

Examples:

Is the only atom that has a closed form solution, which allows for very good predictions, and gives awesome intuition about the orbitals in general.

It is arguably the most important solution of the Schrodinger equation.

In particular, it predicts:

The explicit solution can be written in terms of spherical harmonics.

You can't just shred individual sSD files because SSD writes only at large granularities, so hardware/drivers have to copy stuff around all the time to compact it. This means that leftover copies are left around everywhere.

What you can do however is to erase the entire thing with vendor support, which most hardware has support for. On hardware encrypted disks, you can even just erase the keys:

Ciro Santilli believes that there is a positive correlation between being a software engineer and liking Buddhist-like things.

Maybe it is linked to minimalism and DRY, which software engineers value so greatly.

Even Ciro had to try an unoriginal Buddhist joke intro in one of this Stack Overflow answers.

Ciro also feels that his "minimal reproducible example" scientific language/concept learning method obsession of breaking things into tiny sub-problems has a strong link with Koans.

Some notable Buddhism/programmer examples:

Another thing that points the correlation out is the existence of wattsalan.github.io/ on a github.io about Alan Watts.

Ciro Santilli's wife, who was frustrated with academia at some point, admires the fact that Simons managed to make infinite money, and then invested back in actual science, e.g. through the Simons Foundation.

Claims provably fair. satoshidice.com/fair clarifies what that means: they prove fairness by releasing a hash of the seed before the bets, and the actual seed after the bets.

As mentioned in bitcoin.it, it functions basically as cryptocurrency tumbler in practice.
