others. The following button links to my profile.

Here’s some awesome other music that I found:
Here are some websites I like:
Some federated networking software:
My favorite tea is currently Stash Tea’s Double Bergamot Earl Grey.
I took some wonderful classes while I was at Tufts. I wholeheartedly recommend
the following:
- Internet-scale Distributed Systems with Noah Mendelsohn, a class that
explores how systems are designed and implemented
- Functional Programming with Torsten Grust, a class that dives deep into
Haskell’s type system and some FP theory
- Programming Languages with Kathleen Fisher, a class about building,
proving, and comparing programming languages
- Compilers with Sam Guyer, a class about — guess what? — building
compilers in ML
- Security CTF with Ming Chow, a half-credit course in which we build a
secure device, swap with another school, and then break into theirs
- Concurrent Programming with Mark Sheldon, a class all about concurrency,
multithreading, and parallel computation
- Machine Structure & Intel Assembly Programming with Mark Sheldon, in
which students spend around 40 hours per week writing obscene quantities of C
I like music featuring the hammered dulcimer.
Below is a collection of music (mostly film scores) that includes at least a
little bit of hammered dulcimer in it:
- Hary Janos (Zoltán Kodály), where I first heard it
- Various tracks from The Grand Budapest Hotel (Alexandre Desplat), such as:
- Mr. Moustafa
- A Prayer for Madame D
- Daylight Express to Lutz
- … and many more
- Discombobulate (Hans Zimmer), from Sherlock Holmes – the Robert Downey Jr
version
- The Dragon Book (John Powell), from How to Train Your Dragon
- Various tracks from The Man From U.N.C.L.E (Daniel Pemberton)
- His Name Is Napoleon Solo
- Signori Toileto Italiano
- Laced Drinks
- Drums of War
- Snow Plane (Thomas Newman), from Spectre
Thanks to this website for linking some that were harder for me to
find (and others not included here). Also thanks to this website
with help identifying tracks in The Man From U.N.C.L.E. As a sidebar, I would
one day also like to catalogue music that has a sort of horse
galloping/trotting feel found in Breaking Out (U.N.C.L.E) or Two Mules for
Sister Sara (Sherlock Holmes).

uniquely bad energy to be on a little computer all the time in a really
packed city there should only be like 10 giant computers in the world and
they should be in various deserts and you should have to journey for many
miles on foot to come and operate them
