@Axtremus this is just wonderful stuff. I never had the patience, or the correct tools to do this.
Japanese joinery is a wonder to behold.
(slight aside)
After moving into the condo, I decided I needed to purchase a saw. I decided on a cheapo Japanese pull-type saw. It was inexpensive and very effective. Since it cuts on the pull stroke, the blade is thinner. That means you remove less wood with each stroke. That means it's easier and more accurate.
The Japanese approach to sharpening cutting tools (planes and chisels) is also very different. In my opinion, better, too.

The original was composed as a violin concerto.
Just stumbled upon an arrangement for two erhus and a piano:

What an odd time signature!
Depends on what you're looking at, I suppose.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

That was supposed to be a word play on the fact that 5/4 is commonly classified as an "odd" meter.

My undergraduate teacher for theoretical computer science was Arnold Schönhage. And of course he taught us the Schönhage Strassen multiplication algorithm, which is way faster than Kamasutra's.

I remember being a little overwhelmed by the math around the FFT.

Of course, it should be noted that the Kamasutra more broadly deals with many aspects of love rather than to merely multiply quickly.
