Slightly offtopic, but there are other Fields Medalists on youtube too, such as Richard E Borcherds. He has some very nice videos on number theory and abstract algebra. https://www.youtube.com/@richarde.borcherds7998
A more rigourous approach was tried after WW2, when Americans feared the Soviets were edging ahead mathematically/scientifically. It was called "New Math" [0]. For an example of the type of textbook high school students…

This is going to sound bad but another upside to charity shops is that often they misprice their books, so you can get some real bargains.
I went straight into Hyginus and Caesar. Hyginus is not difficult at all. After LLPSI, you should be able to read this: https://www.thelatinlibrary.com/hyginus/hyginus5.shtml Caesar is not too difficult either. The…
I started with LLPSI along with Oerberg's companion books (Colloquia Personarum, Fabellae Latinae, Fabulae Syrae). After that I read Hyginus' Fabulae and then Commentarii de Bello Gallico by Caesar. Since then I've read…
No Gaddis? What a shame. Everyone ITT should check out Gaddis' `The Recognitions' and `J.R.' (and his other books, of course).
Run a honeypot and see where most of the traffic comes from.

Some excellent contemporary Jungle producers, if anyone wants recommendations: Dead Man's Chest, Tim Reaper, Equinox and Coco Bryce. These lads are producing bangers better, or on par, with the producers of the late 80s…
Many routers use the MIPS ISA and they can be rooted to get shell access. That's what I did with an old Netgear router, which was like a very low spec SBC. If you have a PS2 lying around, you could try that.
You're right, but sometimes you gotta realise you're being trolled or the person you're arguing with is not arguing in good faith. Maybe that's what he meant.

Rather than studying specific moves and move orders, you can get away with studying plans and ideas if you're under 2000 FIDE. I got to around 2200 online with minimal opening memorisation, but with a lot of time…
If you're in the UK, all X-File episodes are available to stream for free on 4OD. I'm re-watching it too, but I'm so busy I can only do 1 episode every few days.
I'm playing on desktop. I tried to play in Firefox's private mode, but the emulator didn't load. I don't know if this is intended or a bug, but just thought I'd let you know.
Your site is great. I've signed up and I'm using it now to re-play EarthBound. Thanks.
I play on Lichess, so yes, you could say that. Too bad this name was taken by someone else on Lichess. Love Bergman, by the way.
Looks nice to me. Also it's very lightweight and fast. I ran WindowMaker on a 500mb RAM machine back in the early 2000s and it was very snappy.
Power and Chaos! Yeah, I remember watching The Tribe every Saturday morning. Turns out loads of people here in the UK watched it as kids too but they don't remember the name, so you have to say "it's the show where all…
I learned to read German by working through "German for Reading" by Karl Sandberg. It's a great book. Work through it a couple times until the grammar is second nature, use the Anki deck "4000 German words by frequency"…
Sleep at the same time every night (this builds a routine). Eat dinner at least 3 hours before you sleep, no later. Shower before you sleep (cools you down and helps you sleep). Keep your room temp at around 18-19C. Buy…
