Viacheslav V. Nikulin

Viacheslav Valentinovich Nikulin (Slava) is a Russian mathematician working in the algebraic geometry of K3 surfaces and Calabi–Yau threefolds, mirror symmetry, the arithmetic of quadratic forms, and hyperbolic Kac–Moody algebras.[1] He is a professor of mathematics at the University of Liverpool. A third chair of mathematics was established for Nikulin in 1999, the second chair having been established in 1964 for C. T. C. Wall and the first having been established in 1882.[2] Nikulin has made contributions towards the solution of Hilbert's 16th problem.[3]

gollark: Anyway, I figure I'll start on the whole project *now* by creating a folder™ containing all the potatOS code.
gollark: Plus verifying the checksums and such.
gollark: I think all the updater thing would need to do is:on the non-CC side, just track what files changed since the last release, generate a checksum, and either generate an archive or a bunch of URLs for it.on the CC side, periodically check a manifest file, store its own version locally, check if a newer version is available on the server, and if so download the files which have changed.
gollark: Probably gitget.
gollark: I should look at how Opus does its updates, since Opus is generally considered good.
