What I find genuinely beautiful about knowing several languages is how the world looks bigger and you find yourself free of some limits.. I found a free download of ‘A Beautiful Mind’ in italian and I had no problem to that. I can read the news of other countries and speak to poeple from everywhere… but nothing compares to read the original works of some authors in their original languages. No translations, no misunderstandings, just exactly what the author wrote; like this, the original Einstein’s paper ‘Kosmologische Betrachtungen zur allgemeinen Relativitätstheorie”. This paper is quite important (well.. each one of his papers, specially the ones from that year xD) because in here he introduces us the cosmological constant. There must be translations over there, but I’d rather read exactly what he wrote. Btw, is kinda interesting that some of his equations (if not all, but wth do I know, I’m starting, and too late -_-) are displayed differently in our current textbooks. For example, the famous equation (E=mc^2) was not explicitly set, and the original equation where cosmological costant is first introduced looks slightly different from the one universally accepted today. There are some reasons for this, but that’s another topic, and a really big one.

Btw, this part of the article reminded me of the reason of why I started to feel interest in learning programming seriously. Somehow I still find myself resistive to the idea of diving into Computer Science… but I’ve finally decided that I’m gonna take it seriously … I guess I should have before since I was looking for a job in the area… but that’s just fine, better later than never xD … anyway, someone told me once that while reading some papers he could not do but wonder how the shitty code in there even worked… that still causes me nightmares haha .. imagine you wrote your article and in the other side of the world someone wonders how the hell your code even works 🤣🤣💔 mmm tomorrow gonna check this code.. hopefully it’ll be great haha

A veces pienso que encargarse de un buen UI y UX es más cuestión de empatía que de conocimiento. Increíble que grupo ( Ecuador) tenga este sistema pendejo de desbloqueo de usuario. Y sobre el sistema de desbloqueo de contraseña, otra porquería.

I still find it interesting how senior programmers value readability and clean code over the easy way ♥. They also create solutions that might be “the harder way” but the best ones, covering each scenario!
“«” is a bitwise operator (bit shift) and pushes zeros from the left. So “x«1” would mean pushing a zero from left to binary number x: 13«1 => 00001101 -> 00011010 = 26.
Clean code tells a lot about a programmer and even though at the beginnind I didn’t want to become an expert in this area, I want to now (still a long waaayy tho!). Thanks for that teaching, you. I’ve learned more than what I could show in that short period and I still value and remember that.

I’d like to know what do you think is going to happen :ablobgrimace:

Does every murder have a mental illness? and.. does every person with a mental illness a potential murder? The answer to both questions is NO. But, take a look on some of the pages of this amazing book, The Science of Evil.

Such a beautiful quote ♥ from *The C++ Programming language - Bjarne Stroustrup*.

How the fuck do execute a code if a message contains at least one word in a list using an if statement in a single line in python?
Like this B) ... that my own :'3 I'm fkng happy right now :'D
Please don't ruin my happiness telling me this is not how a senior coder would do it. I mean, do it, but softly xD

Ich kann Castlevania Ende nicht fassen :ablobcatheartsqueeze: es ist einfach wünderschön :'3 ♥

Lisa: ich starb... und warst nicht da
Vlad: ich weiß
Lisa: und bist auch gestorb
Vlad: so war es...
Lisa: du hast noch mir gesucht
Vlad: natürlich habe ich das... ich hatte nicht anderes tun konnte
...
Vlad: onhe dich würde es mir schlecht ergehen
Lisa: onhe dich würde es mir schlecht ergehen

♥♥♥

Glücklich sind die Meschen, die solche wahren Lieben haben! Und darüber bin ich sehr glücklich auch :ablobhearteyes:

A bit of history.... do u get it! a bit of history!! ... ok... gotta stop the bad jokes.

This is how I'd like to look like when aged 😂 ... I mean it. From "Stardust" the movie, one of my favourites from youth ♥

"Negative probability, whatever that might be" 😂 omg I love this book! ♥ Thereby I'll be posting what I find funny and /or remarkable on it.

Why String Theory?
$$this is a \latex trial, just ignore this line$$

I'd like to know if someone else has noticed it. As far as I have seen, many mathematicians are actually capable of seeing math doing its job, and I thought every physicist could see it as well but I'm not sure right now.... I'd like to know how different can a mathematician brain differ from a physicist's one 🤔
