Erniang is way more popular than her ranking in the 108 Stars of Destiny.

This is of course in part because she is one of the only 3 108 Stars of Destiny women. But her story about making human mantou is particularly fun!

She's also quite seductive, which gives directors a good opportunity for a bit of fan service. See e.g. kknews.cc/history/6epp2pp.html for a still from The Water Margin showing some good cleavage for example.

At Section "Quantum computing is just matrix multiplication" we saw that making a quantum circuit actually comes down to designing one big unitary matrix.

We have to say though that that was a bit of a lie.

Quantum programmers normally don't just produce those big matrices manually from scratch.

Instead, they use quantum logic gates.

The following are the main reasons for that:

One of the most flashy chinese musical instrument!

It is very similar to the Indian shehnai.

domain-specific language unfortunately, but at least it's on GitHub, looks promising.

How to play scores and save them to files is discussed at: doc.sccode.org/Guides/Non-Realtime-Synthesis.html

They have a nice looking IDE, but running anything from the command-line interface is super hard, much unlike Csound. How to get a decent hello world: stackoverflow.com/questions/65360414/how-to-play-a-supercollider-file-non-interactively-from-the-terminal-command-lin

Sample composition with custom synths + notes: sccode.org/1-5cl

leanpub.com/ScoringSound looks like a decent tutorial, it is basically the Csound FLOSS manual for SuperCollider.

Made four blisters on back of foot on first two days after walking a few hours on them, but then put on some tape on foot, and stopped hurting after that, so the shoe broke quickly.

May 2026: sole unlgued from body and water started coming in. Fuck. The pain was all for naught. I'm never buying leather shoes again. The leather itself is good, but it has to last forever to be worth the pain.

Ciro Santilli considered it before he stopped using file managers altogether, it is not bad.

Formal name: "fungi".

en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nutrient&oldid=1075972831#Essential gives somewhat of an overview:

Deterministic, but non-local.

A little suspicious that it bears the name of Lorentz, who is famous for special relativity, isn't it? See: Maxwell's equations require special relativity.

Formal name: "plantae".

Measured particle speeds with a rotation barrel! OMG, pre electromagnetism equipment?
