This was the major final step of fully integrating the OurBigBook CLI into the dynamic website (besides fixing some nasty bugs that escaped passed by me from the previous newsletter).

The implementation was done by "simply" reusing scopes, e.g.: cirosantilli's article about mathematics has scope cirosantilli and full ID cirosantilli/mathematics.

That on the website is equivalent to a local file structure of:

The problem is that a bunch of subdirectory scope operations were broken locally as well, as it simply wasn't a major use case. But now they became a major use case for , so I fixed them.

After breaking production and sweating for a bit hotfixing (not that anyone uses the website yet), I decided to be smart and created a staging server: ourbigbook-staging.herokuapp.com. Now I can blow that server up as I wish without afecting users. Documented at: cirosantilli.com/ourbigbook/staging-deployment

X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, similar to visible light but with much higher energy and shorter wavelengths, typically in the range of 0.01 to 10 nanometers. They were discovered in 1895 by Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen and are widely used in various fields, most notably in medicine and science. In medical applications, X-rays are primarily used for imaging and diagnostic purposes. When X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed at different rates by different tissues.

I read Human Compatible by Stuart J. Russell (2019). Some AI safety people were actually giving out free copies after a talk, can you believe it! Good book.

This Heisenberg's breakthrough paper on matrix mechanics which later led to the Schrödinger equation, see also: history of quantum mechanics.

I've finally had enough of Nvidia breaking my Ubuntu 21.10 suspend, so I investigated some more and found a workaround on the NVIDIA forums: stackoverflow.com/questions/58233482/next-js-setting-up-eslint-for-nextjs/70519682#70519682.

Thanks enormously to heroic user humblebee, and once again, Nvidia, fuck you.

The Kennelly–Heaviside layer, also known as the E layer of the ionosphere, is a region in the Earth's upper atmosphere that is characterized by a high concentration of ionized particles. This layer is located approximately 30 to 100 kilometers (18 to 62 miles) above the Earth's surface and plays a significant role in radio wave propagation.

Near Vertical Incidence Skywave (NVIS) is a radio communication technique that uses high-frequency (HF) radio waves to establish communication over relatively short distances, typically up to about 600 kilometers (373 miles). The technique involves transmitting radio signals at a near-vertical angle, which allows the signals to be reflected off the ionosphere back towards the Earth's surface, effectively facilitating local communication.

Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) is one of the core protocols of the Internet Protocol Suite, which is designed for relaying datagrams (packets of data) across networks. Here are some key points about IPv4: 1. **Addressing**: IPv4 uses a 32-bit addressing scheme, which allows for approximately 4.3 billion unique addresses (2^32).

"Iranian biophysicists" refers to scientists from Iran who specialize in the field of biophysics, which is the study of biological processes through the principles and methods of physics. Biophysicists often explore the molecular mechanisms of biological systems, studying aspects such as the structure and function of proteins, nucleic acids, and cellular processes.

Scott Ritter is a former U.S. Marine Corps intelligence officer and a chief weapons inspector for the United Nations Special Commission (UNSCOM) in Iraq in the late 1990s. He is known for his controversial views on various military and geopolitical issues, particularly concerning Iraq and the possession of weapons of mass destruction (WMD).

Massoud Ali-Mohammadi was an Iranian physicist known for his work in the fields of particle physics and nuclear science. He was a professor at the University of Tehran and had been involved in various research projects. Tragically, he became widely known after he was assassinated in January 2010, an act that many believe was politically motivated and linked to his involvement in Iran's nuclear program. His death sparked international attention and raised concerns over the safety of scientists in politically sensitive environments.

Mehdi Golshani is an Iranian physicist known for his work in the fields of theoretical physics, particularly in quantum mechanics and various branches of physics teaching and research. He is also recognized for his contributions to the philosophy of science, particularly in relation to Islamic perspectives on science. Golshani has been involved in various academic activities, including writing books and articles on the interplay between science and religion, and promoting science education in Iran.

Shahriar Rouhani is a name that may refer to an individual, but as of my last update, there was no widely recognized public figure or information specifically associated with that name. It is possible that the name could relate to someone in various fields such as academia, arts, politics, or science, but without additional context, it's difficult to provide a definitive answer. If you have a specific context or category in mind (e.g., literature, political science, etc.

The allegations of Iraqi mobile weapons laboratories refer to claims made by the U.S. government and some intelligence agencies prior to the 2003 invasion of Iraq. The accusations suggested that the Iraqi government, under President Saddam Hussein, possessed mobile biological weapons laboratories, which could be used to produce biological agents for warfare. These claims were prominently featured in presentations by U.S. officials, particularly by then-U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell during a speech at the United Nations in February 2003.

As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, there isn't a widely recognized figure named Corinne Heraud in public records, literature, or notable fields such as science, arts, politics, or pop culture. It's possible that she is a private individual or a lesser-known figure who has not gained significant media attention.

The Iran–Iraq War, which lasted from 1980 to 1988, saw significant international involvement, with various countries providing aid to both Iran and Iraq, often motivated by geopolitical interests. Here's an overview of the international aid provided to combatants during the conflict: ### Aid to Iraq: 1. **United States**: Initially, the U.S. maintained a neutral stance but later provided intelligence, logistical support, and economic aid to Iraq.
