= Coordinate-projection approximation of a compact operator

Let $P_N$ project $\ell^2$ onto its first $N$ coordinates. Although $P_N\to I$ only strongly on the whole unit ball, convergence is uniform on every compact subset. Hence compact $T$ satisfies
$$
\lVert P_NT-T\rVert\to0,
$$
and each $P_NT$ has finite rank.
