This mostly faceless German dude is awesome!

A fundamental component of three-level lasers.

As mentioned at youtu.be/_JOchLyNO_w?t=581 from Video "How Lasers Work by Scientized (2017)", they stay in that state for a long time compared to non spontaneous emission of metastable states!

phys.libretexts.org/Courses/University_of_California_Davis/UCD%3A_Physics_9HE_-_Modern_Physics/06%3A_Emission_and_Absorption_of_Photons/6.3%3A_Lasers mentions that they are kept in that excited state due to selection rules.

This is also one of mechanisms behind phosphorescence with triplet states.

Please, use AsciiDoc and one page to rule them all.

Like the U.S.' summer term.

E-learning system prior to Canvas: weblearn.ox.ac.uk/portal. Appears fully custom and closed source?

Closed in 2023 in favour of Canvas.

The basis for Linux Kernel Module Cheat.

Buildroot is good.

TODO synonym to analog quantum computer?

It is also possible to carry out quantum computing without qubits using processes with a continuous spectrum of measurement.

As of 2020, these approaches seem less developed/promising, but who knows.

These computers can be seen as analogous to classical non-quantum analog computers.

This software feels amazing. You can really start composing very quickly, lots of features, good keyboard shortcuts.

GPL, and there's a backing company that makes money with an online and mobile version of it.

Can export to:

Ubuntu 20.04: sound preview worked, first hat that trailing Contra-like sound artifacts (like spd-say), but then it went away?

Feels like a lot of effort was put into usability, including keyboard shortcuts by default, seems like a powerful and easy to start using software to compose music!

Glissando: yes: musescore.org/en/handbook/arpeggios-and-glissandi

Quora is crap in many, many senses, but in part due to some bad Stack Overflow policies, it is the best crap we've got for certain (mostly useless) subjects. Until OurBigBook.com dominates the world.

The worst thing about quora is that you cannot subscribe only to certain subjects on your feed. Quora just keeps pumping shit you never subscribed to, no matter what. Ciro, for sport, unfollowed every single idiotic subject it was proposing, but it didn't work, sooner or later Quora just keeps pumping more shit back. Mind you, some of that shit is fun. But it's still shit. Though on second thought, YouTube also randomly decides to reset Ciro's humongous "don't recomend this shitty channel" choices from time to time, which is not much different...

Other terrible things, they just seem to have an incredible ability of making the website worse and more annoying over time! Truly amazing:

Quora is getting so bad that it is basically being killed by Reddit, especially after they lifted the 6-month hard thread lock...
