@ACuriousMind Ok, so my adviser said I should probably read all of this. I want to do a guided reading of Milnor this summer, so could you please tell me which sections I really need? Assume I'll be doing all of the first chapter minus nets and I'll figure out what I need/want from the second.
@NeuroFuzzy Great! two things: 1. Congratulations on the material you have on YouTube, the simulations look amazing! 2. How can I learn to code those? I know Python and C but haven't studied C++ much yet. Do you have any tips on how to achieve your proficiency?
@BernardMeurer Oh jeez. Well I started coding in BASIC around age 11 and have a long history of how I learned stuff. I just did a bunch of projects whenever the mood struck me hah
ex. I learned object oriented programming from a highschool java class. I learned actual C++ object oriented programming (memory gets screwed up if you program improperly) from a project trying to flip minecraft maps upside down
@BernardMeurer so this would be the project where I actually learned good memory practice youtube.com/watch?v=YHSbrCZXHLU (flipped a whole chunk upside down. The weird visuals are just to induce vomiting)
@0celo7 You probably don't care about e.g. paracompactness, topological groups, convex bodies or the Baire category theorem, although the latter is a fundamental topological result one should know anyway
@0celo7 Well, you have to make up your mind - you can't ask me to say what you really need for Milnor and then quibble with my choices because you might need stuff for other things ;)
Homosexuality is not on the current list of diseases according to the World Health Organization since 1990. I understand this act on the level of confirming the understanding of homosexuals. But for me, it seems to fit all the definition of a disease I could find.
So what were the official reaso...
The Beatles in Mono is a boxed set compilation comprising the remastered monaural recordings by the Beatles. The set was released on compact disc on 9 September 2009, the same day the remastered stereo recordings and companion The Beatles (The Original Studio Recordings) were also released, along with The Beatles: Rock Band video game. The remastering project for both mono and stereo versions was led by EMI senior studio engineers Allan Rouse and Guy Massey.
The boxed set was released on 180-gram heavyweight vinyl on 8 September 2014, mastered directly from the original analog tapes and not the...

@BernardMeurer I would think being death in one ear would make things interesting :p
@ACuriousMind Really? You actually bookmark this stuff? 10/10

Wish I bookmarked them. There was a good one I meant to give Danu when he turned 10k ;)
I'm interested in hammering a nail into my penis at a very high velocity. Ideally I'd like this to be one smooth motion - the nail should pass cleanly and wholly through with the single strike, such that I don't have to pull the nail through manually after the strike. However, I am unclear on whe...
This is possibly a silly question, but is there any particular way that I can acknowledge SO in my PhD?
I am in the final stages of my PhD, and part of that included Android app building and testing, this has been very successful, in no small part due to the assistance I have received from many ...
But in order to get the math right, Einstein had to create a new constant number (an unchanging value, like 'pi' or 'e') and stick it inside his general relativity equations to balance them. @SirCumference
@SirCumference: Einstein was not the singular crazy man working in a vacuum which you seem to think he was, cf. e.g. the relativity priority dispute
And if you consider the appearence of names like Lorentz, Poincare or Minkowski in the modern theory, it becomes quickly obvious it wasn't that strange or crazy at think at all if famous mathematicians and physicists also worked on it
In particular, it seems to be Minkowski who realized that relativity was most elegantly described by "spacetime" instead of space and time.
