Can vouch for the quantum mechanics one. Perfectly understandable while introducing heavy math machinery.


The great thing about Susskind's lectures is, imho, that he allows himself to get slightly confused by his own explanations, of course, to fully recapture himself and the audience a few moments later.


Hah wait until you find about chimarrão


It's literally mentioned in the document a bunch of times.


May refer to the demeaning origins of the name. Wikipedia:

   In Brazil, traditionally prepared mate is known as chimarrão, although the word mate and the expression "mate amargo" (bitter mate) are also used in Argentina and Uruguay. The Spanish cimarrón means "rough", "brute", or "barbarian", but is most widely understood to mean "feral", and is used in almost all of Latin America for domesticated animals that have become wild. The word was then used by the people who colonized the region of the Río de la Plata to describe the natives' rough and sour drink, drunk with no other ingredient to sweeten the taste.


In my samsung you can use the "trackpad" swiping up/down. It gives Home/End functionality.


Really nice, but ugh... it doesn't have english?


Do you still need to get the VBIOS from the gpu and patch it manually? tbh that was the scariest part


On AMD, yes (sadly). On everything else, no.


Just use cerr for debugging. It is not buffered so it always outuputs, even in unexpected crashes.


I wish it would but this is just not what I observe here, I have to flush explicitly to get things to show on the console


std::cerr being unbuffered is one of its defining features. If you're not seeing that, either you (or some dependency you use) disables it, or it's a bug in your C++ stdlib.


or die...


Maybe should be on another thread but: any weird tips for weight gain?


1. Regularly (three days per week seems to be about right) lift heavy weights using whole-body movements (three sets of five reps of back squat, bench/shoulder press, and deadlift at near maximal weights for you is the ball park of what you're shooting for).

2. Eat lots of calories with adequate protein (30% seems to be good).

If you're a really hard gainer and that still doesn't work for you, try adding a gallon of whole milk a day. That will definitely do it--whole milk evolved for the purpose of putting a lot of muscle on baby cows quickly. I wouldn't say it's a particularly healthy thing to do long-term but that will almost certainly make you gain significant amounts of muscle.


You can apply too much math in it, it's incredible.

Computer graphics has all the matrices/spaces/quaternions that are super interesting.

Then you have functional programming and all the things that come with it.

You use binary, not decimal.

You can make graphs really easily.

And all of these are interactive.

It's just a big math playground.


The way I see it, that would mean the function 'fair_dice' has type 'i32'. While in this case it maybe fine, if the function had arguments, it would be ambiguous.
