I use it a few times a week, usually while at work. Normally to visit a dead link or to find old or outdated info.

Nah, just the basics is fine. I would recommend Griffith’s and then moving on to Shankar.

It’s also really important to remember that QM is really a formalized algebra of probability/stats, so it’s really really important to get a good grasp of that. QFT and all that comes after understanding the basics. It’s a fuck ton of work, but I think it’s rewarding.

I’d really recommend going through the basics about learning QM. Specifically: classical mechanics, a very good stats & probability math course, calc prereqs, intro to QM, intro to thermal/stat physics, maybe an atomic course, intro chem course. I’m not sure of the exact steps, but as a physics undergrad major, it’ll “click” after a certain amount of prereqs and if you need any help, feel free to PM me and I’ll gladly be of assistance (as far as I can remember, at least).

Yep. I’m so over American politics and I think the nation is headed in the wrong direction. I feel that the people are powerless against changing our trajectory. I had been considering doing a PhD abroad and this is really pushing that decision now.

It’s spam. OP is blasting the link everywhere

What are you talking about? I’ve witnessed it several times now at work, especially regarding programming or EE. Have you not yet suffered through a programmer condescendingly explain trivial matters to others, especially to women?

The post is obviously a hyperbole but it’s not too far off from reality.

I don’t think anybody is obsessed with it. It’s a problematic behavior in many men, enough so that it’s become a meme, particularly in the US.

I’ve tried this. It’s drinkable but not very enjoyable. 5/10

I’d argue it depends on who is serving it and what their intentions are. I don’t think it’s necessarily bad. I went to a local Juneteenth celebration and the food stands were serving some fried chicken, collard greens, jollof rice, etc.

Nothing particularly, but it would let LW and other instances distance themselves from the lemmy.ml admins.

Tbh this is one of the reasons why I’m looking forward toward Sublinks

Maybe Thriftbooks? They do offer shipping to Canada but it’s not always cheap.

I look at the contributors on Github and check them out. I’ll check out what else they’ve worked on and maybe see if they have an account on mastodon or twitter. Maybe I’ll ask some friends if they’ve used or heard of the product, or know of the devs.

There is indeed malware disguised as OSS and you do sometimes have to vet them. I’ll skim the codebase and see if there’s anything that looks weird or funky, but that’s not perfect (like in the case of the xz) and some stuff can slip by.

What helped me understand QM was spending four years getting a degree in physics then never using it again.

Yeah in the fall, it’s the only dying-looking tree in an evergreen forest

Tbh least favorite conifer. Not even evergreen
