West Coast Canada IV: "Ah yes, 'Guilty Gear' - we have already dismissed that game!"

haha sentinel/magneto/storm: the fourth reich

do they all still seem top tier or does nobody know yet

i think people are saying Storm is top tier again, at least. Which could be kind of annoying since it's not really clear who would counter her. But i guess it's kind of a tricky balancing situation, if Mags and Sent are tops again it'd be the same game all over again, and if theyre not, well who's really fast enough to catch up with storm / has enough tools to deal with her BS? she seems to have EVERYTHING still.

I will say though, Sent looks like he has a million health. Ryu did super FB and it did maybe like, 10% of his life in one video. WTF?

So I've finally hit the end of MGS Peace Walker.

About to fight Metal Gear Zeke... except that when I'm about to, it says "ZEKE is currently assigned to a mission" (it's out on an Outer Ops mission). Gotta love how this game is happy to just not care about how much sense it makes from time to time.

Bollywood comedy?

btw my wife has a former coworker who is moving to Vancouver because her husband has a job there, and she was asking me and my wife for advice about living there and stuff. i couldn't give her any specific advice about Vancouver, but I was wondering if you guys had any advice for someone who's coming to Canada for the first time and is gonna be living downtown (she said on 7th Avenue). especially stuff like where are safe/unsafe places in Vancouver, cuz my wife and I have no idea when it comes to that for Vancouver.

Wow this is like uber-geekiness:

So I'm reading some papers about fluid simulation and topology, one of them featuring a former graphics prof of mine (who wrote recommendations for me, too!).

They wrote a library called EL TOPO.

So there's the obvious "topology" pun, but knowiing his eclecticness, I'm certain that that name was picked with the furiously artsy fartsy movie El Topo in mind.

SUDA 51 claimed that El Topo was an inspiration for No More Heroes, what with its pastiche of surreal bosses.

I might need a crash course in tensor calculus like really soon.

Anybody (i.e. Mike, Stefan) have any recommended resources?

This is where I've been volunteering at since 2006, http://clubhousecanada.com/ , your wife's former coworker can meet friendly people there (be they other Japanese nationals or Canadian), help her with her English if needed and etc... It's also located in downtown near Granville station.

Also living in downtown should be an easier transition since for the most part Downtown Vancouver is almost like little Osaka with all the Japanese people and shops and so forth. Not to mention downtown has a Bookoff, and even some Japanese restaurant brand shops like Beardpapa's have already made their mark in Greater Vancouver.

thx Nigel! i'll definitely pass that along to her.

================================================

Gabe: unfortunately i don't know any good textbooks off-hand, since i learned tensor calculus through my general relativity and E&M courses. and from what i've seen, what constitutes a good reference on tensor calculus really depends on what you want to use it for -- the theory has a really abstract development from the "pure math"/differential geometry point of view, for example, but for the purposes of calculating physical quantities, it's more a matter of just learning the basics of the language/notation and learning some of the more important formulae (and what they mean).

you mentioned fluid simulation two posts ago, so i'm guessing you just need to learn enough to do some numerical simulations?

Pretty much. I have to go re-learn Navier-Stokes as well.

well i know you can use google as well as i can, but here's a free textbook i found:

http://www.math.odu.edu/~jhh/counter2.html

here's another one that focuses a lot on the notation and the basic concepts/formulae for working with tensors:

ttp://faculty.gg.uwyo.edu/dueker/tensor%20curvilinear%20relativity/tensor%20analysis%20intro.pdf

out of curiosity, how were you told to review tensor calculus and N-S? were you given a specific problem to solve, or was this a general instruction to review the basics?

stuff online

Yeah, I've been googling, but I'm just not sure which resources are actually good/worthwhile/effective.

N-S is the foundation of the bulk of fluid simulation methods, and since I'm going to be implementing one (maybe more than one) this term, I need to know how it works. The tensor calculus bit may or may not come into play depending on one of my projects.
