My friend in the Portugal is still seeking employment, but now is unfortunately on the brink of having his family become homeless. They have been looking for work for few months now and have lost two contracts in a row that were supposed to keep them afloat.
It isn't easy time for anyone, but if you could donate even a bit to his gofundme campaign - it well help a lot:
I love how the Category Theory textbook that I’m reading pulls somewhat advanced concepts from adjacent fields as examples with little to no introduction at all, and later draws on them and puts them in the exercises.
Watched the 2018 movie "Shoplifters" (「万引き家族
」) yesterday evening ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoplifters_(film) ). What a delight! Might be my new favorite Hirokazu Kore-eda movie, although "Monster" was terrific as well.
The exploration of family relationship through property rights and shoplifting is deeply connected to the title, but becomes obvious only in retrospect. The movie came out one year before "Parasite" and their themes feel connected, even if the outcome is entirely different.
Compared my 5th gen iPad Pro to the M4 one, and the only real difference seems to be the new pencil support? M4 is sure nice, but I’d rather have laptop with it.
@indutny congrats on making it this long. It’s not if you get Covid. It’s how many times you get Covid and you’re already way ahead of most people. Feel better soon. ❤️
Last time I had to deal with LLL was when I was re-deriving the GLV basis for secp256k1. One day I'll actually fully understand how LLL reduction works, but probably... not today :ac_joy:
I didn't really enjoy "The Three-Body Problem" book. Partly due to Deus ex machina that the author pulls to explain the mystery introduced, but mostly because it was completely toothless and pointless in the light of serious topics that it brought (especially the Cultural Revolution).
For whatever reason I had I decided to give the Netflix show a try, and... it is also pretty terrible, IMO! The first scene was directed rather well, and the acting was top notch (except for the girl…
Finished reading my first manga without furigana! I had to draw so many kanji to find them in a dictionary, but also got to practice readings and vocabulary items for kanji that I already know! Super fun!
Placed an order for a new #electricguitar! I've long wanted to go back to headless guitars, and after playing #kiesel for a few years I decided to stay with them and get a Neck-Through 7-String Vader.
Configurator doesn't allow HSH pickups with neck through, but this is what I got on my order over phone. Partly because of the Easter discount, but also because I enjoyed single pickups on the Ibanez Ichi.
Build times for Kiesel are currently 14-18 weeks, will report when it is completed!
