A-L-E-X: They both caught staph infections in hospitals, weird thing was, my mom's was in 1990 and my dad's in 2014.  It's a problem that still hasn't been properly addressed in hospitals.  And now we have skin-eating bacterial infections that seem to be on the rise also (as well a brain parasitic amoeba.)

Sorry to hear that about your folks. I know a few people that have had similar stories. Yes, staph infections and the like are certainly epidemic in many 'first-world' countries. It's the consequence of the rapidly-resistant new strains of infections and the public health-care funding cuts - I recently visited a rural hospital for work that didn't even have a professional janitor on duty! When I asked them about this they simply said that they couldn't afford to employ one.

On the Discord server, Vigo Hornblower and I started playing around with taking the Fourier transform of various things.

[left]I thought it looked very cool.   Like a telescopic image of a quasar or something.[/left]

[left]My avatar image is also a Fourier transform, of sorts.  But it's a photograph, not a computer rendered image.  It's the diffraction pattern formed by a laser passing through 3 tiny holes in a close triangular arrangement.  When light passes through an aperture, it diffracts and interferes with itself and ends up producing a pattern which is described in the exact same way as the Fourier transform of the aperture.  Nature works in marvelous waves.[/left]

Very cool. What did you use to get the image? Some sort of program? The wiki link you gave didn't explain that part.
