Wow, those who could find their own research topic were lucky. I've never seen anyone in my environment get that much freedom. The supervisor sets the problem and the student must solve it. Edit: I was under the…

I didn't expect to see Artemiev mentioned here. Great soviet composer and his "Meditation" is a very fitting track for the movie. Amazing blend of electronic and eastern traditional music. I didn't watch the whole…
I think the author is missing a couple of important points: 1) How would one approach this task having a day job? 2) How do you compensate for not having a chance to work in a suitable environment doing good research?…
Also Santana had a song named after Toussaint but I don't think lyrics are describing anything about the actual person.
I don't work at home all the time, but I've been struggling to find some metric to hold myself accountable for my own quality and intensity of work. Do you mind sharing your experience?
Even 1-2 days of bad sleep (< 6 hrs) would destroy me either now or back when I was 20.
That's very cool but it's in no way specific to the FORTRAN language: https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/documen... contrary to the earlier comment: > You can't do this in C/C++ On a side note: having…
Heh, I could have made a mistake about the origin of the saying. I haven't read that article.

Could be, at least C++ has tools to implement better design. I've seen one guy's python code that looks worse than his FORTRAN code. There's a russian saying: "A true FORTRAN programmer can write FORTRAN code in any…

I was under the impression that physicists had too many ideas and too few chances to test them in experiments.
True. I don't know much about cosmology.
Was QM necessary for invention of bipolar transistors?
Yes, quantum computing is not a problem in modern fundamental physics. Yes, collider construction is not a problem in modern fundamental physics.
SM/beyond SM is the only field in fundamental physics though. Everything else is either a consequence of those models or applied physics.
I wouldn't say that Linux maintenance is completely smooth for me, but if something happens it's usually due to my own poor attention. OTOH Windows 10 is determined to force its updates on me at the most inconvenient…
That's the reason I use linux. I need to get work done. I guess I could do it on windows but it's much more convenient on linux to set up a working environment and lots of the tools I use are already there.
Where could I read about advanced assembly optimization techniques like this?
They say this leak might enable more malware developed targetting these games. The code seems to have already been leaked 2 years ago. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/599332362?t=03s

Why not SUSY then? Once you understand the formalism you can derive any field theory to your liking.
I don't think you understand the issue here. He's not dodging the question. On the contrary, he's answering on the most fundamental level.
