This is a hilarious commentary on the US/Israeli war with Iran:

I am, luckily, at a career stage where I mostly only need two-page CVs and the list of publications of the last five years. After a long time, I needed a full CV and a complete list of publications.

My bibliography is up-to-date, but having switched to #Pandoc with #Typst as backend, I had little motivation to use my LaTeX/biblatex setup from almost 10 years ago to produce a sectioned bibliography.

I built a breathing exercise app because every one I tried wanted my email, tracked me, or hid basic features behind a paywall.

Mindful Breathe — guided inhale/hold/exhale cycles, customizable presets, haptic cues, dark mode, multilingual.

Kollege @nohillside hat das #eVoting-Desaster von Basel-Stadt wunderbar analysiert. Wieder mal fehlt hier der Aufschrei.

This looks like fantastic and important work! I peeked at the job description, and it looks like it's in R. Didn't see mention of Python.

I love this sort of article. Mathematicians' progress on "The Lonely Runner" problem (not really about running).

Proved for 4 runners in the 70s. They got to 7 by 2007.

"last year, Matthieu Rosenfeld [...] settled the conjecture for 8 runners. And within a few weeks, a second-year undergraduate at the University of Oxford named Tanupat (Paul) Trakulthongchai built on Rosenfeld’s ideas to prove it for 9 and 10 runners."

2nd year undergrad. Within a few weeks. Boom!

We just uploaded the 150th episode of the #microbinfie podcast, scheduled for Thursday, where we blow your mind with vibe coding. I can't believe we have actually made it this far.

🍻 To the next 150 episodes 🥂
