This webcomic is venerated by software engineers as of 2020.

Being able to quote the right one at the right time is considered a fundamental shibboleth of the profession.

And with reason.

A meta breaking glitch of a video game is a glitch that when discovered significantly breaks the meta.

In non-video game-game, it does sometimes happen that a meta is broken as well, but these events tend to be rarer and less dramatic than meta-breaking due to computer program glitches.

In PvP games, those glitches are generally forbidden by existing rules, and quickly patched after discovered.

In speedrunning however, they are either incorporated in the existing strategy, or may lead to the creation of a new run category for particularly significant glitches.

Non-technical skills were moved to: Ciro Santilli's skills.

This has not been updated since 2016 after Ciro got a job, because it is too hard to put a number on any skill.

What really matters are the most important projects done by Ciro Santilli.

We map each point and a small enough neighbourhood of it to ${\mathbb{R}}^n$, so we can talk about the manifold points in terms of coordinates.

Does not require any further structure besides a consistent topological map. Notably, does not require metric nor an addition operation to make a vector space.

Manifolds are cool. Especially differentiable manifolds which we can do calculus on.

A notable example of a Non-Euclidean geometry manifold is the space of generalized coordinates of a Lagrangian. For example, in a problem such as the double pendulum, some of those generalized coordinates could be angles, which wrap around and thus are not euclidean.

Great chemistry content. Well detailed setups, notably substance extraction from off-the-shelf products.

I've started rewatching The Water Margin, it is just so good. I'm taking some reasonable notes this time however, because due to Ciro Santilli's bad old event memory I'll forget the details again otherwise.

That type of rebellion symbology could also be useful against the Chinese government. It is interesting that Mao Zedong loved the novel.

I've finally had enough of Nvidia breaking my Ubuntu 21.10 suspend, so I investigated some more and found a workaround on the NVIDIA forums: stackoverflow.com/questions/58233482/next-js-setting-up-eslint-for-nextjs/70519682#70519682.

Thanks enormously to heroic user humblebee, and once again, Nvidia, fuck you.

We shouldn't have countries.

We should have one big global government, with one global language that everyone can speak, and slightly different local laws, so you can choose where to live based on the laws you approve of the most.
