Cosmic microwave background anisotropy Updated 2025-07-16
There is a slight variation in temperature of CMB across the sky of the order of 200 microKelvin. It is small to the ~2.7 K average temperature, but it can be measured.
If the initial conditions of the Big Bang and the laws of physics were perfectly symmetric, then we could expect the universe to just be one perfectly uniform boring soup.
But instead some asymetry made all the fun weird things we see today happen eventually, like galaxies and life.
And the cosmic microwave background serves as a way for us to look back in time to the early conditions of the universe, as it was set in stone as soon as the universe became transparent to this light during recombination.
Or if you want to get poetic, it is the closest we can ever get to listening to the original word of God when he setup the initial conditions of the universe.
The ansiotropies of CMB is the ultimate astronomical compass we will ever have, as it is the thing with the least proper motion.

Bicycles require too much maintenance Updated 2025-07-16
It is true, something Ciro Santilli often things about. One likely reason is that the world is broken and most cyclist are speed maniacs willing to put the time in. Unlike Dutch people where everyone cycles.
Rear bicycle derailleur does not shift up Updated 2025-07-16
Full range achieved, going from fastest to slowest works (downshift), but going from slowest to next slowest (upshift) fails. Limits are good, B-tension screw didn't help
- bicycles.stackexchange.com/questions/66811/rear-derailleur-does-not-downshift-properly-shifts-up-smoothly likely good question but with wrong up vs down terminology

We go forward by Owlturd
. Source. Being a first generation immigrant, this cartoon does make Ciro think about the future of his children.
Immigrating is incredibly time consuming and direclty limits what you can do in life later on. One can only hope that their children will take advantage of the new opportunities provided to them.

Next.js example Updated 2025-07-16
Our examples are located under nodejs/next:
- nodejs/next/hello-world: a hello world. There's an in-tree one at: github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/e75361fd03872b097e817634c049b3185f24cf56/examples/hello-world, but ours is truly minimal
- nodejs/next/hoc: shows how to use a higher order component (HOC) to factor out
getStaticPropsacross two pages: nodejs/next/hoc/pages/index.js and nodejs/next/hoc/pages/notindex.js - nodejs/next/typescript: simple TypeScript example, minimized from: github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/d61b0761efae09bd9cb1201ff134ed8950d9deca/examples/with-typescriptNotably, that shows how
requireerrors are avoided in that case as mentioned at: stackoverflow.com/questions/64926174/module-not-found-cant-resolve-fs-in-next-js-application/70363153#70363153 - nodejs/next/localStorage: a counter that is persistent across page reloads by using
localStorage. Used in: stackoverflow.com/questions/54819721/next-js-access-localstorage-before-rendering-page/68136224#68136224
