Ciro once told a friend that his ideal life would be to "just chill out and eat his bread in peace" (while also learning and teaching the sciences). <sponsor/quote Omar Khayyam's chill out quote> comes to mind. See also: <Ciro Santilli's cheapness>.


Chill and eat your bread in peace

= Ciro Santilli's best random thoughts

{synonym}

These are "original" thoughts that Ciro had which at some point in the past amused him. Some would call them pieces of wisdom, others self delusion. All have likely been thought by others in the past, and some of them Ciro thinks to himself after a few years: "why did I like this back then??".

After Ciro's colleague was doing that in a project:
> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Norris_facts[Chuck Norris] can parse pseudocode.

On the theory vs practice of computer science:
> Whereas <Turing complete>[Turing completeness] is enough for <mathematicians>, humans need "run-on-Debian-complete".

On how human perception of media is completely unrelated to the computer's transmission mechanism:
> Media for humans is not byte streams. It is magic.

On how you make the best friends in life when dealing with hardships together.
> The bond between men is like the bond between two metals: it is better made under fire.
In Ciro's case, this in particular means going through high school/universities studies and work projects, though of course war would apply particularly well. Perhaps inspired by <as iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another>.

This is of course just another version of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_picture_is_worth_a_thousand_words[one picture is worth a thousand words].

Others:
* <science is the reverse engineering of nature>
