Korobeiniki will forever be /the/ tetris music, but this....

This is well worth listening to.

While Korobeiniki is earwormy and one of those pieces you never forget the tune to, this theme is elaborate and one of those pieces you never forget listening to.

Twenty-six minutes is quite long, but... well worth the time to listen.

I can't even talk about the technique like I usually do. Just listen, and see.

why does wolfram alpha interpret "d/di" as me wanting to differentiate with respect to the imaginary unit? that doesn't even make any sense

Concept: Sheep or alpaca tailor who makes clothing exclusively out of their own wool

Your monthly reminder that the bat-eared fox's binomial name is _Otocyon megalotis_ which literally translates to "Eardog bigears"

Major FOSS projects are usually named after one of two things: Either they are named after what they are not, as GNU (GNU's Not Unix) or WINE (WINE Is Not an Emulator), or they are named after Linus Torvalds, as Linux or Tor.

I suppose being named after Linus Torvalds is also being named after something they are not, though.

At least, for now.

(the context, if you are wondering, is a proof-of-concept that was conducted using the Galileo spacecraft en route to Jupiter. They turned it back towards earth and tried to see if they could conclusively detect the presence of life solely from data collected from space.)
