Safe, conventional, non-controversial choices here. Given the domain name, I expected more category theory.

I dunno about “two or three years,” though. It would take me about a year to get through all three volumes of _The Quantum Theory of Fields_ alone (~1500 pages of extremely dense physics!)

The optimal path to mathematical mastery is "Error establishing a database connection"?

Obviously it's not meant literally. The database represents your mind, and the error represents all the mathematical proofs you haven't written yet. By solving the error (proofs) you learn mathematics.

Oof. Not usually one to comment on technical issues, but that's a rough one to get for a (presumably) completely-static site!

Dr. Sheaf, please consider serving your site via a dedicated service like S3. This is a solved problem <3

Sheaf residuals, each edge checks if its two endpoints line up. The squared differences add up to a single number R. That’s your “how inconsistent is the network right now?” gauge.

He probably doesn’t know how. This message is em from Wordpress. There are many WP providers where you just signup and start writing. They don’t tell you that if you get to HN front page, your db will die. I don’t know any static blog providers. He’d have to roll out his own or use Medium/Substack.
