The United Kingdom is a great place to cycle in general as there's plenty of small country roads and interesting new small towns to discover, perhaps much like the rest of Europe, as opposed to the United States, which likely has some huge infinitely long straight roads with a lot of nothing in between.
Of particular interest is the large amount of airfields and small air raid shelters in the fields, an ominous reminder of world war 2. The airfields are in various states, from functional military fields, many converted to civilian usage, some have barely any tarmac left but still see usage. And some were just completely abandoned and decayed and became recreation grounds and farms. The UK is therefore also a great place to be if you want to learn to fly as a hobby!
Good starting point:
Next, you want to decide about nice destinations to reach/go through, and these are good ideas to look into:
- Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
- National Trust
- Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB)
Ciro Santilli feels a bit like this guy:
- he's also an idealist, even more than Ciro. So cute. Notably, he he also dumps his brain online into pages that no-one will ever read
- he also thinks that the 2010's education system is bullshit, e.g. settheory.net/learnphysics
- trust-forum.net/ some kind of change the world website. But:is a sin to Ciro. Planning a change the world thing behind closed doors? Really? Decentralized, meh.
Started with Vue.js + Node.js. Details reserved for developers willing to contribute
- antispirituality.net/ his atheism website
One big divergence: obsession with translating every page into every language.
Old French website: spoirier.lautre.net/
singlesunion.org/ so cute, he's looking for true love!!! This is something Ciro often thinks about: why it is so difficult to find love without looking people in the eye. The same applies to jobs to some extent. He has an Incel wiki page: incels.wiki/w/Sylvain_Poirier :-)

This is a good initiative. Since the government is incapable of doing shit in this area, individuals have to do it themselves.
They even have a scholarship program...: www.bolsas.gobrasa.org/
Many good albums, Ciro Santilli's favorites:

Source. Intuition, please? Example? mathoverflow.net/questions/278641/intuition-for-symplectic-groups The key motivation seems to be related to Hamiltonian mechanics. The two arguments of the bilinear form correspond to each set of variables in Hamiltonian mechanics: the generalized positions and generalized momentums, which appear in the same number each.
Seems to be set of matrices that preserve a skew-symmetric bilinear form, which is comparable to the orthogonal group, which preserves a symmetric bilinear form. More precisely, the orthogonal group has:and its generalization the indefinite orthogonal group has:where S is symmetric. So for the symplectic group we have matrices Y such as:where A is antisymmetric. This is explained at: www.ucl.ac.uk/~ucahad0/7302_handout_13.pdf They also explain there that unlike as in the analogous orthogonal group, that definition ends up excluding determinant -1 automatically.
Therefore, just like the special orthogonal group, the symplectic group is also a subgroup of the special linear group.
If you are a programmer,
grep
becomes a verb: "to grep" means "to search text files", much like "to Google" means "to search random stuff online".TODO what's the point of it.

Basically, the vectors are defined by saying "we are doing the Directional derivative of any function along this direction".One thing to remember is that of course, the most convenient way to define a function and to specify a direction, is by using one of the coordinate charts.We can then just switch between charts by change of basis.

To test it, let's get two computers on the same local area network, e.g. connected to Wi-Fi on the same home modem router.
On computer B:
- find computer IP with the
ip
CLI tool. Suppose it is 192.168.1.102 - then run Ciro's
nc
HTTP test server
On computer A, run on terminal 1:
sudo tcpdump ip src 192.168.1.102 or dst 192.168.1.102
Then on terminal 2 make a test request:
curl 192.168.1.102:8000
Output on terminal 1:TODO understand them all! Possibly correlate with Wireshark, or use

option to dump content.How the hell are you supposed to develop an open source implementation of something that has a closed standard?
Not to mention open source test suites, that would be way too much to ask for, those always end up being made by some shady small companies that go bankrupt from time to time, see e.g. .
Basically the opposite of security through obscurity, though slightly more focused on cryptography.
For a commented initial example, see: e. Coli K-12 MG1655 gene thrA.
KEGG does the visual maps well.
But BioCyc is generally better otherwise.
