I learned about Burdan’s ass through metastability and I learned about metastability when researching the answer to my question:
“What programming language can I use where the computer can tell me what it wants to be?”
I know there was a step or two after that – it was the same date (July 26, 2015) that I first mentioned metastability in my notes, so it’s related).
