Very unfortunate license "public domain license" with a "non religious" clause, whatever the fuck that is, which completely defeats the point of a public domain declaration:
The source code and text is under Public License and therefore can be used, translated and distributed at free will.
It is only banned to use the text and content for religious propaganda.

The book is very dry, extremelly boring unfortunately. Definition and theorem only for the most part.

WD Elements 20TB by Ciro Santilli 35 Updated +Created
Bought December 2023 for 300 pounds, so 15 pounds / TB. Needs power supply unfrotunately besides USB, the largest one without needing power supply was only 5 TB at the time so not worth it, given that my P14s alreay carriers 2 TB. 10x is a must for the external crap.
Noise: it has a constant pleasant hum, with a not so nice click every 5 seconds or so. Reasonable, but not amazingly incredible.
The size is reasonable, not megaportable, but definitely reasonable.
WD10EADS-42P6B0 by Ciro Santilli 35 Updated +Created
~1TB.
Has a separate power cord, not USB powered. Unbelievable. Edit: actually high ends are still like that as of 2023, e.g. at that time, a the max non-cabled was 5 TB, but top of line was 20 TB.
Disk label: wd1t.
Ubuntu 20.04 gnome-disks benchmark, ext4 partition: 37MB/s.

Normalized DFT by Ciro Santilli 35 Updated +Created
There are actually two possible definitions for the DFT:
The is nicer mathematically as the inverse becomse more symmetric, and power is conserved between time and frequency domains.

There are unlisted articles, also show them or only show them.
