Ciro Santilli studied there for a few years starting in 2007.

In retrospect, doing electrical engineering (and likey the other engineering degrees) felt like taking a trip to the 60s in the United States, due to both the subject matter, and how old the concrete buildings were!

This does not need to be a bad thing. It is in that era (and earlier) that much of the exciting foundations of the field were set, and there is great value in there is value in tutorials written by early pioneers of the field. Not that they were amazing at excting history lessons as they should be. But the course outline suggested that intent.

But that point of view must also be accompanied by the excitement of the great ongoing advances of technology (and impact they had in the past). And on that, they failed.

One day, one day, we will fix that.

Interesting to note that there are quite a few nearer than Sagittarius A, as of 2022 we know of one at 1.5 kly: universemagazine.com/en/discovered-the-closest-black-hole-to-the-sun/

It is interesting that a few months earlier there seemed to be no known specific black holes in the Milky Way: www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2022/hubble-determines-mass-of-isolated-black-hole-roaming-our-milky-way-galaxy although their count is estimated to be in the hundreds of millions.

For comparison, remember that the Milky Way is 185 kly in diameter x 2 kly thick.

Reference implementation?

The cell wall of a bacteria. Made of peptidoglycan, a glycoprotein.

Webpack is like a magic hydra that can eat any type of file and bundle it into a single output: .js, .ts, .ccs, .scss, .jsx, .tsx, require, import, import css from .js, it doesn't matter at all, it just digests all into the same dump.

When it works, you are just left in awe and with a single Js file. When it doesn't, you're fucked and have to debug for several hours.

Demos under: webpack/. To run all of them by default:To easily make changes and reload the .js output live let this run on a terminal:

Good points:

Archaea are much more closely related to the eukaryotes than bacteria, see e.g. Figure "Coral of life by János Podani (2019)" which shows how archaea diverged from eukarya almost 2 By after LUCA!

It therefore appears that the mitochondrial endosymbiosis happened when a bacteria like cell joined up with an archaea.

Some notable points in which archaea look more like eukaryotes than bacteria:

Was a direct tech predecessor to the iPhone.

Power, Sex, Suicide by Nick Lane (2006) part 5 "Murder or suicide" mentions that the key events that leads to apoptosis is when certain proteins normally present in the inner mitochondrial membrane spill out, and that this often happens when free radicals are produced in excess: the cell is really not doing well in those cases. This point suggests that the initial mitochondrial endosymbiosis happened due to a parasite that lived inside another cell. It mentions that even today we see parasites kill the host cell when they feel that the cell does not have many nutrients. This frees the parasites to then infect other cells.

The layered one.
