Hitori is a logic-based puzzle game that originated in Japan. The objective of Hitori is to fill in cells in a grid based on certain rules, which typically involve the numbers provided in the cells. The game is played on a rectangular grid filled with numbers. Here are the basic rules: 1. **Grid Structure**: The grid consists of a set of numbers, where each number represents how many times that number appears in its respective row and column.
PdfTeX is an extension of the TeX typesetting system designed to produce PDF (Portable Document Format) output directly.
A hardware store is a retail establishment that sells a variety of tools, building materials, home improvement supplies, and gardening products.
Gilding is a decorative technique that involves applying a thin layer of gold or a gold-like substance to a surface to create a luxurious finish. This process can be applied to various materials, including wood, metal, paper, and ceramics. There are several methods of gilding, including: 1. **Gold Leaf Gilding**: Involves applying extremely thin sheets of gold leaf to a surface, often using an adhesive or glue.
64 is a natural number that follows 63 and precedes 65. It is an important number in various contexts: 1. **Mathematics**: - It can be expressed as \(8^2\) (8 squared) or \(2^6\) (2 raised to the power of 6). - It is a perfect square as well as a perfect sixth power.
Hans Bethe by Ciro Santilli 40 Updated 2025-07-16
Head of the theoretical division at the Los Alamos Laboratory during the Manhattan Project.
Richard Feynman was working under him there, and was promoted to team lead by him because Richard impressed Hans.
He was also the person under which Freeman Dyson was originally under when he moved from the United Kingdom to the United States.
And Hans also impressed Feynman, both were problem solvers, and liked solving mental arithmetic and numerical analysis.
This relationship is what brought Feynman to Cornell University after World War II, Hans' institution, which is where Feynman did the main part of his Nobel prize winning work on quantum electrodynamics.
Hans must have been the perfect PhD advisor. He's always smiling, and he seemed so approachable. And he was incredibly capable, notably in his calculation skills, which were much more important in those pre-computer days.
Unlike SARS-CoV-2 non-structural protein, these are not needed for test tube reproduction. They must therefore be for host modulation.
Some reviews:
  • the keyboard is kind of crap. Notably the key "a" is very hard to press!!
  • the lack of a sleep state indication LED and "I'm powering on LED" compared to Lenovo is really sad
  • it gets way too hot doing work (Monero bootstrap) with lid closed, likely brought system down
OPSEC: will run only cryptocurrency wallets and nothing else. Will connect to Internet, but never ever to a non clean USB flash drive.
The OPSEC for this machine supposes:

It must have taken about one week running full time to sync the Monero blockchain which at the time was at about 3.1M blocks! I checked on system explorer, and CPU and internet usage was never maxed out, suggesting simply slow network. But the computer still overheated quite a bit and froze a few times.
ELF is the dominating file format for Linux. It competes with Mach-O for OS X and PE for Windows.
ELF supersedes .coff, which supersedes a.out.
User mode emulation by Ciro Santilli 40 Updated 2025-07-16
User mode emulation refers to the ability of certain emulators to emulate userland code running on top of a specific operating system, usually Linux.
For example, QEMU allows you to run a variety of userland ELF programs directly on it, without an underlying Linux kernel running.
User mode emulation is achieved by implementing system calls and special filesystems such as /dev manually on the emulator one by one.
The general tradeoff is that simulation is less acurate as it may lack certain highly advanced kernel functionality you haven't implemented yet. But it is much easier to run executables with it, and you don't have to wait for boot to finish before running, you just run executables directly from the command line.
tig (git UI) by Ciro Santilli 40 Updated 2025-07-16
This is good. But it misses some key operations, so much so that makes Ciro not want to learn/use it daily.
Asset bundler by Ciro Santilli 40 Updated 2025-07-16
In order to make websites efficient and portable, a lot of transpilation is needed.
webpack/template by Ciro Santilli 40 Updated 2025-07-16
../webpack/template contains a reasonable starter template.
This will produce, under dist/ the following minimized files:
You can also run this test with the development server on localhost:9000:
npm start
which uses unminimized outptus, and automatically push reloads the page whenever you change any of the input files!
You need those because it is hard to do the following:
This is hard to do notably because when the update happens, several things might need to change on the webpage at the same time.
Notably, new elements might need to be added to the webpage, which in turn means that new bindings such as button clicks have to be added to those, in a way that keeps the page working.
The only way to do this basically is to have a functional dependency graph that keeps everything in the page in working state as updates come.

Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project

Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
We have two killer features:
  1. topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculus
    Articles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
    • a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
    • a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
    This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.

  2. local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:
    This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.

    You can publish local OurBigBook lightweight markup files to either https://OurBigBook.com or as a static website
