How many "la"s does a name need to have?

This is the easiest one to do iteratively:

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".

Isothermal means "at fixed temperature".

This is to contrast with the more well established polymerase chain reaction, which requires heating and cooling the sample several times.

The obvious advantage of isothermal methods is that their machinery can be simpler and cheaper, and the process can happen faster, since you don't have to do through heating and cooling cycles.

Tends to be Ciro Santilli's first attempt for quick and dirty graphing: github.com/cirosantilli/gnuplot-cheat.

domain-specific language. When it get the jobs done, it is in 3 lines and it feels great.

When it doesn't, you Google for an hours, and then you give up in frustration, and fall back to Matplotlib.

Couldn't handle exploration of large datasets though: Survey of open source interactive plotting software with a 10 million point scatter plot benchmark by Ciro Santilli

As mentioned at Section "Plancherel theorem", some people call this part of Plancherel theorem, while others say it is just a corollary.

This is an important fact in quantum mechanics, since it is because of this that it makes sense to talk about position and momentum space as two dual representations of the wave function that contain the exact same amount of information.

The fact that they kept the standard open source makes them huge heroes, see also: closed standard.

Shame that many (most?) of their proposals just die out.

This is the most interesting class of problems for BQP as we haven't proven that they are neither:

TODO clickbait, or is it that good?

Likely happened between an archaea and a bacteria.
