I LOVE the rice cooker! It’s the best example of simple physics : it’s literally a pot, a heating element and a magnet. That’s it. No electronics. No sensors. Nothing. How does it work??? Physics ! 🧵

None of the opinions are my own. There's a gnome holding me at gunpoint at all times.

As a human being you have the right to be able to understand the world. That is why education is so important. Any technology that hinders your understanding (even if it seemingly gives you capabilities) is deeply in- and anti-humane.

Don't know how I went this long without discovering the "physics" package for latex, it's almost magic in how much it simplifies stuff For me it's already worth it to not have to do \left\{ \right\} or any of their size-fixed buddies anymore, but the derivatives and operators are also amazing

Sometimes I'm like "Notion takes >10s to open, annoying but I won't worry about it" But in this very moment I'm going "if I manually set a path for my snippets folder when lazy-loading a plugin, neovim doesn't have to scan all folders in the runtimepath and saves me a few miliseconds at startup"

You are not more likely to be killed by a coconut than a shark. This is a statistical error. Coconuts Georg, who lives under a coconut tree and is killed by 10,000 coconuts a year is an outlier and should not have been counted.

Humans are very weird and mostly do things because the people around them do them. This is true for me and you and everyone. Interpreting bland, default human weirdnesses as repugnant, intentional immoralities will 100% make you miserable while alienating people from your ideas.

Status update: I think I spent more time tweaking my neovim config than actually coding on my new projects I previously used it only for LaTeX (incredible stuff btw, live previews with zathura etc etc) and simple python scripts, but now that I'm using it for c++ I'm adding a lot more stuff to it

Coming back to c++ after some years of doing basically just python (and other higher-level languages like julia and lua), and I just love the switch/case statement. I know the behaviour can be easily implemented in all languages with similar syntax, but idk there's something about it.

When I say that, of course it's a bit abstract, and there's a bunch of ways of doing it. Currently my idea of it is continuing my academic journey, keep doing research and teaching. But producing science content on the internet may also be a branch of it, who knows. It's certainly a lot of fun.

Fred Flügel @fredfp.tubgaming.com · 28/03/2025
Already excited for the next science stream, which will be tomorrow (not today, had to pick up an extra shift at work to pay the bills) This past week was so important to me, sharing science and helping people to understand it has always been my dream. I want to make that dream my career.

No stream today, PC decided to give up on me. Hopefully solvable soon
