The most minimal hello world with gnuplot visualization!!! stackoverflow.com/questions/11175694/bullet-physics-simplest-collision-example/36987063#36987063

List of instruction set architecture.

Most of them use titles from TV Tropes.

Ciro Santilli used to read books when he was younger (Harry Potter up to the 4th, Lord of the Rings), but once you are reading code, technical articles and news the whole day, you really just want to watch videos of people doing useless things on YouTube to rest, enough text.

Books are slow. No patience. Need faster immediate satisfaction.

Paradoxically Ciro feels like he's becoming a writer of sorts though, one semi independent section/answer/piece of knowledge at a time.

Writing is not just giving out information. It is re-feeling it.

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...

Gospel of Matthew 7:13:

Ciro Santilli really likes this one, because he feels that where many people go, it is useless to go again. It is much better to explore that which few can do, but which many will need.

Water Margin also comes to mind. And also A story of floating weeds.

Very easy to use and pretty powerful MIDI creator!!!

One of the rare audio applications actually works with PulseAudio on Ubuntu 20.04 out-of-the-box, so you don't have to turn off every other audio application!!!

Has lot's of plugins built-in just working out of the box, e.g. ZynAddSubFX out-of-the-box without doing a gazillion complex setup connections.

Most plugins are just simple toys however, ZynAddSubFX is the only super powerful one. The others are more LMMS integrate however, and seem to use a more dedicated LMMS GUI style.

TODO can you do liver performance with a virtual instrument?

If you open vmpk, you can then right click on a piano track, and go MIDI, Input and it just shows up there, and it does produce sound as shown at: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpeP2th08ak

TODO: what about recording the input MIDI? Yes, there is a record button on the piano roll!

Sample software implementations:

Heinrich Hertz's main initial experiment used a spark-gap transmitter. It is not something that transmits recorded sounds like voice: it only transmits noisy beeps. And as such was used for wireless telegraphy.

Nice looking and expensive operating system by Apple. Ciro Santilli believes that:

The story of how OS X was ported to x86 from PowerPC with large initial work up to boot by a single man in the year 2000, John Kullmann, is really worth reading: www.quora.com/Apple-company/How-does-Apple-keep-secrets-so-well/answer/Kim-Scheinberg on Quora, see also:

Ultimate explanation: math.stackexchange.com/questions/776039/intuition-behind-normal-subgroups/3732426#3732426

Does not have to be isomorphic to a subgroup:This is one of the reasons why the analogy between simple groups of finite groups and prime numbers is limited.

FeathersJS entry for gothinkster/realworld.

MongoDB-based.

So once you install MongoDB, run with:

Got it working on Ubuntu 20.10 with both React and Vue.js front-ends at github.com/randyscotsmithey/feathers-realworld-example-app/commit/8bc3a09242285de624c75bb8345630df499a7d07 as mentioned at github.com/randyscotsmithey/feathers-realworld-example-app/issues/2 except for bad error reporting on UI.

Tests can be run with:but there were 10 failures and 55 passes: github.com/randyscotsmithey/feathers-realworld-example-app/issues/3
