QEMU is so complex that one could pursuit a 2 years specialization on it. I wonder if one could get a job at Multipass or LXD?
But... nah! I'll just keep on my path of knowing less and less about more and more things until someday I may know nothing about everything.

BookWyrm is the Federated GoodReads Replacement I Didn’t Know I Needed
If you aren’t familiar with the concept, #GoodReads is an Amazon-owned social platform that integrates directly with their Kindle offering. #BookWyrm is an #opensource, #federated
alternative designed by Mouse Reeve, and is supported by Patreon donations.

i'm looking for a job.
i'm a mathematics student at galatasaray university in turkey. i've discovered latex typesetting system ~4 years ago. in that time period, i've written my lecture notes, real-time. i've learned about plotting and drawing with tkz-euclid and tikz.
if you are in need of someone to type a thesis, an homework; to draw and produce graphics, plots, etc. please contact me, i'm open to communication and i'll inform if i'm able to get the job done.

And I've heard about stranger things that may happen when people is heading to the work place.
This reignited my puerile desire of having a diary (again). I wish I had time to do it.

"...
What defines any bog-standard crystal—such as a diamond, an emerald, or even an ice cube—is that the crystal’s atoms are somehow arranged in repeating patterns in space. There’s three dimensions of space—and a fourth dimension, time. So physicists wondered if a crystal’s atoms could be arranged in repeating patterns in time.
In practice, that works something like this. You create a crystal whose atoms start in one state. If you blast that crystal with a finely tuned laser, those atoms might flip into another state—and then flip back—and then flip again—and so forth, all without actually absorbing any energy from the laser.
If you step back, what you’ve just created is a state of matter that’s perpetually in motion, indefinitely, without taking in any energy.
That’s no small feat. It beats against one of classical physics’ most sacred tenets: the second law of thermodynamics. ..."

More detail on the non-causality poll...
I'd expect adherents to quantum mechanics to choose "sometimes".
Since QM appears to introduce uncertainty (probabilistic) in place of causality (deterministic) (i.e., it moves from certainty toward randomness), I don't see why a deeper dive couldn't move entirely to randomness (non-causality).
Non-causality appears to be a generalization of nonlocality (or perhaps complimentary to it).
Because of the results of the Bell test experiments, there appears to be renewed interest in explicit theories of nonlocality (e.g., extentions of de Broglie–Bohm theory) to make QM more palatable.
I think the development of a construct for a non-causal extent with causality emergent at macroscopic levels (or emergent at the quantum/macro interface) could serve the same purpose, but I haven't been able to find anything on that.
*** Does anybody know of anyone who is working on that? ***
Here are some more hashtags to cast the net a bit wider. (feel free to comment even after the poll is complete):

In short, the Web done right (and conceived long before.)

The generation of random numbers is too important to be left to chance.
I spun 3x... 3x I spun...
Yet I couldn't install nginx on the VM.
Okay. I'll stick with apache.
