Ciro Santilli's hardware dhb Dorica MTB Shoe (2020-12) Updated 2025-07-16
Bought SM-SH56 cleat to accompany.
When it arrived, it felt a bit too long, around 2cm maybe free space after toe, and when I walk and the front part touches ground, heel comes off a bit, which is annoying. But I was too lazy to give it back and take the risk of a second try, also it felt correctly tight on sides. During first test ride it felt good.

Indian vegetarian thali is the best thing ever! The Southern version in particular. Also do watch a video on how to eat it.
Oxford mathematics Moodle Updated 2025-07-16
Moodle instance of the Mathematical Institute of the University of Oxford.
Has a mixture of open access and closed access. But at least it can have open access unlike the in-house systems such as Canvas where everything is necessarily paywalled!
Sometimes things appear open but don't show any meaningful content if you are not logged in, which is annoying.
But at least it gives a clear public course list, thing that certain departments (cough Department of Physics of the University of Oxford cough).
The organization is a bit crap, when you expand e.g. C Michaelmas term it shows nothing, just a search.
The way to go is via the year year categories e.g. "Year 2022-23": courses.maths.ox.ac.uk/course/index.php?categoryid=734. Term splitting is annoying, but one can stand it.

Education Updated 2025-07-16
One of the causes Ciro Santilli care the most about: motivation.
How to improve education? Simple:
- tax the fuck out of the rich people and companies: wealth tax and invest it in education
- invest intelligently as mentioned at what poor countries have to do to get richer:
- focus on fewer higher excellence schools that select the most promising poor students, rather than giving crappy average to everyone

Effective field theory Updated 2025-07-16
www.youtube.com/watch?v=WB8r7CU7clk&list=PLUl4u3cNGP60TvpbO5toEWC8y8w51dtvm by Iain Stewart. Basically starts by explaining how quantum field theory is so generic that it is hard to get any numerical results out of it :-)
