How important is it to cultivate individual culture?

How important is it that we cultivate the capacity of the human mind to search for its own meaning through culture separated from the collective conscious? What can we reach when we search or relate to things (like books) on an individual level?

Examining how atomic nuclei vibrate with a greater degree of precision
phys.org Examining how atomic nuclei vibrate with a greater degree of precision

Using ultra-high-precision laser spectroscopy on a simple molecule, a group of physicists led by Professor Stephan Schiller Ph.D. from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) has measured the wave-like vibration of atomic nuclei with an unprecedented level of precision.

Examining how atomic nuclei vibrate with a greater degree of precision

How important is it to have tables upon tables about how things actually interact? I'd say that's pretty important.

What is your favorite technology? What makes your like it like that?
  • Computers. There is no limit to what they can do. You put a computer to measure time, temperature, the weather; and you can use it to plot all those things in nice graphics. The way you can make computers relate to nature just outline how fundamental it is to science.

  • What website/app do you use to read ebooks?
  • I lost access to one of my Amazon accounts, and it isn't easy to recover. They give you the option to make a paid international call to recover your account, since I don't live in the United States. Can't possibly recommend it. If you lose your account, you lose all the books you bought.

    I think kobo identifies your Wi-fi network, but ever since I found out amazon puts you through this, the book buying (actually renting) lost its charm to me.

    I would go with whats available freely on the Internet. I use "filetype:pdf" on Google to find books, for example.

    What do you guys think about FreeBSD?

    What makes BSD stand out as its own system? I've been thinking about installing it in a new computer mainly for reading but I don't know much about it.

    Distro recommendation

    I'm having problems with Manjaro again, always after those big updates. Anyway, I'm moving from Manjaro since it seems it will not work (authorization isn't working properly). I already tried Ubuntu before (used it for 3 months), but moved on since file management in Ubuntu is pretty bad (had to use terminal to copy files and format drives because system wouldn't recognize me as administrator). I've been using Manjaro for 4 months and it's really good, the update problems ruin it.

    Anyway, I was thinking of moving on to something like Linux Mint, Debian or Fedora. I wanted something with support and with people that care for the code. What do you guys suggest? I ask because I don't want to encounter another distro changing problem with my next distro.

    Do you guys know a Twitter frontend besides Nitter?

    Nitter is fine, but I want to login and make comments on Twitter, and the pages feed element is blocked for me. I need an alternative. Thank you.

    Gigablast at work

    Gigablast fetching results from inside pdfs. You may think "ah, but surely Google does this", but you're wrong. I searched for infinite dimensional spaces and Gigablast prioritized the content of the pdfs and not the title. It came up with results that made a lot more sense than what Google does. And it fetches a lot, I looked at more than 100 results for this search only (searx fetches much less) and they kept making sense up until the 100th result.

    To do this, include ext:pdf or filetype:pdf depending on your search engine.
