You’ve obviously never opened a document (with tabs) where your IDE setting doesn’t match what the author used. It looks like shit. Spaces are never, ever, misinterpreted. Tabs are. If your experience in viewing a document depends on a setting that the author had in their IDE, then it is a failure. This is why .PDF files are so ubiquitous, it doesn’t matter if you created it in Microsoft Word with a uniform tab setting, or TEX in a console, it looks the same to the reader. If you cannot guarantee that the reader sees your source files as you see them, then you have failed. Full stop. Tabs should be cast into the dust bin as an archaic pre-optimization that failed in the real world.

Code indentation should never use tabs, only spaces.

OK, it’s really a mathematics equivalence, rather than a scientific fact, but Euler’s Identity:

e^iπ + 1 = 0

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_identity

it shows a profound connection between the most fundamental numbers in mathematics.

Here is a relatively short presentation: https://www.youtube.com/live/3us83qvzopM and the slides.

Disheveled hair. If you have long(ish) hair and you’re going out in public, at least drag a comb through it so you don’t look like a bed-head.

By the time Sergei had assembled a plywood board and a broom with a wooden handle, Dmitriy was turned into a human Melba Toast.

Yes, living well. Happy mostly. Embodying values and dreams - as much as possible since some dreams would have needed to be started years ago to be realized - like my vineyard and my orchard. Mostly it was reinventing myself every five or seven years to follow the lucre (in software development world look for the bright and shiny new thing).

I was self employed for most of the time, and I can recommend that for those who have a pretty good work ethic. Having a goal in high school was also a key factor, since it led to a useful degree. I was also doing constant internal evaluation - like the feeling where you’re going over your desired job description for a job interview - via a journal or a self help program like “The Red Bucket Strategy”. So, in answer to how did this happen question: it was pretty methodical in using the steering gear you have to make course corrections all the time.

There’s this back story about the “LoongArch instruction system, a RISC ISA that blends ideas from MIPS and RISC-V”. The article says it is MIPS-compatible and even runs the same Linux code [Loongson’s] old MIPS-based CPUs did. Why not just use RISC-V? MIPS is licensed from the USA. I guess they have a lot of legacy people at Loongson.

Make note of your friends phone numbers, emails and addresses (not just via social media), especially the ones from earlier years, and keep track of them with regular calls, notes or visits. Forty or fifty years from now, after the cycles of graduations, weddings, babies, moves, etc. you’ll have some golden relationships.

Sort of summarizes the total shit-show that current politicians and billionaires are responsible for.
