"As with so much in mathematics, the proof started with coffee"
When I knew that the article wouldn't get straight to it, and make me dig through for the point.

- kvark 3y agoI wish we had a TL;DR easily. Those lengthy scientific/history articles are doing a good job at killing any excitement about the core ideas.
- kuhewa 3y agoQuanta's articles are long and I don't invest the time to read every one I see, but the nature of the subject material doesn't lend itself to a TL;DR that captures what is actually interesting.
- codeflo 3y agoA true TL;DR might be hard, but if the author finds the morning routine of the mathematician who discovered the proof worth mentioning, it's clear they aren't even trying.
