I remember experiencing many rainy weekends and Mondays. To see whether this is a fact, I downloaded #weather data from #GHCND:USW00053152 from 2022-09-01 to 2024-05-01 and summed up the precipitations for each weekday.
It turns out that the total #precipitation for each weekday is (from Sunday to Saturday, in unit of mm): 239.0, 250.9, 212.9, 156.6, 172.0, 160.3, 219.8. Surprisingly we do have especially less #rain for Wed, Thur, and Fri.

The duality between two plane trajectories related by a conformal map
The conformal map transforms the trajectory with energy in potential into the trajectory with energy in potential . I will prove this beautiful result and show some implications of it.

Rotational symmetry of plane lattices as a simple example of algebraic number theory
For a plane lattice, there is only a finite number of different rotational symmetries that are compatible with the discrete translational symmetry. For example, the 5-fold rotational symmetry is not one of them. Why is that? It turns out that whether an -fold symmetry is compatible with translational symmetry is the same as whether .

I restructured my blog
If you have not noticed, the equations on my blog are now rendered server-side. This change makes it possible for those who turn off JavaScript on their browsers to see the equations. I also updated the theme from Minima v2 to Minima v3.

You can replace with in the Schrödinger equation?
When someone asks you why it is here instead of or the other way around, you can say that this is just a convention. My professor of quantum mechanics once asked the class similar a question, and I replied with this letter.

My old computers and my experience of daily driving Linux and self-hosting
I have been using Linux and self-hosting for over a year now. Overall, I would like to say that it is rather satisfactory and that I will continue to use Linux as my daily driver in future. Thinking of that, I felt a little bit nostalgic about my old computers. So I decided to write an article about my old computers and my experience of daily driving Linux now.
