Big news for an avid SF reader!

I got mine already, and you should get yours! :ablobcatwink:

Can't wait to begin reading it later today.

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!

Whoa, it is my second #EldenRing run (after a 2 year hiatus), but fighting Maliketh was as a hard as I remembered it. Here's my almost botched attempt that nevertheless succeeded: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tn2WCfTGs5s

(Obviously I died like 30-50 times before getting there)

Turbulence - "Hybrid” is a pretty damn good prog metal song!

My first physics stackexchange question in quite awhile: https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/808302/inverstion-matrix-as-parallel-transport-in-cft

Ammon/Erdmenger’s take on CFT is really confusing to me. They seem to only review the material which is partly the reason. However, my previous exposition to CFT appears to be different from what they discuss, and I can't make any sense of the ideas presented. Hope someone will come across the question and help me out!

I so love it when case insensitive search in pdf finds both "Ω" and “ω” when searching for either.

look at this image and tell me you don't believe there's other life out there. every single point of light in this photograph is an entire galaxy with billions of stars. and this isn't even all of them. there are trillions of planets in the universe, and you're telling me this is the only one with writing and music and sex and feelings?

This is maddness.

Passive #express js middleware can't do anything for the response except return it or pass control to the next middleware. They usually only modify the request.

So you hijack the writeEnd function of the response and do your maddness there!?

On the note of Paul-Chani relationship it was funny that Feyd-Rautha kissing the Baron was more passionate that any scene between Chalamet and Zendaya.

Watched Dune Part 2 yesterday. It was pretty decent (except maybe the complete absence of any chemistry whatsoever between Paul and Chani), but the big surprise was that they fit in the rest of the first book into a single movie? I honestly was prepared for a third movie to cover it, but it sounds like they are going to rush it since they already casted Anya Taylor-Joy for Alia who doesn't get much time until book three?

Hah, translating Japanese poems to Russian made me flex my language comprehension way more than I anticipated. Studying Japanese exclusively in English apparently locked it out of the Russian part of my brain. Still, I'm pretty happy with the result even if I'm only going to share it with my relatives.

Looks like I'm back to my TesseracT phase, sorry Ariana Grande.

This Physics StackExchange answer is pure gold: https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/203944/why-exactly-do-sometimes-universal-covers-and-sometimes-central-extensions-feat

I was wondering why we often arrive at universal covers and central extensions of the symmetry group, but the answer explains it so succinctly that I wonder why I haven't encountered it before! (Maybe I did, but forgot :( )

I think I’m hitting limits of ObservableHQ Framework with my 50k datapoints. I might need to consider writing my own UI once I get to full 96k point data!

(I’m really close to getting it all y’all!)

Don’t mind me. I just causally dropped a 1M line Pull Request on Friday night 😅

Level 13 of #wanikani !

I'm about to get my first burned items (radicals from Level 1), so technically I should be around the peak of number things that I need to keep in short term memory at the same time! With that in mind, I had what I think of as, a "restructuring" week. A lot of kanji/vocabulary has similar pronunciation so had to slow down to 10 new lessons per day and make a lot of mistakes, but all to get a more solid picture of kanjis!
