   I suspect the redirect exists because people were confused by the 404s. As to why no HTTPS, no idea.

   Most academic code is written fairly naively (it's usually the code that's written by people who have some idea and try to be "smart" that's a problem), and so can be cleaned up and made maintainable pretty easily.

   I think it depends on which bits of the Python ecosystem you're interacting with. The numerical/scientific parts have been quite stable for at least the past 10 years (new features have been added, but only small amounts of remova

   A language without easy access to IEEE-754 math and fixed-precision integers that is supposed to run on common/standard hardware (i.e. not for FPGAs or more specialist hardware) is broken for the majority of the tasks it will be doin

   I prefer the Spider-verse movies over MCU spiderman, but both Nolan Batman and early MCU showed that photorealism can work if the tone/plot/etc. matches and uses photorealism effectively. Similarly, using animation effectively, as

   Parsec is a unit of distance, not time, even if Star Wars is confused about that.

    I know of no-one who provides only HTML to arxiv, it's either latex, or doc/odt, so the PDFs should always be there.

    They specify what version of texlive they use. This is significantly better than what publishers offer (usually a really old latex version, not even pdflatex).

    Not only is this wrong about physics/astronomy, I regularly use the arxiv version because the typography is better (e.g. in the published paper an equation is split with part of the equation being at the bottom of one column, and the t

    There are enough solid systems (such as keycloak) that implement standard mechanisms (such as OAuth2 or OIDC) that using a service that continually has issues (as noted by the gp) should be justified, not assumed (having an SSO system shoul

    Planes used to be like this, and I'm noticing more and more they're expecting you to bring your own device, so it wouldn't shock me if they went back to having no inflight entertainment.

    You can also use https://raspi.debian.net/ , which is preferable on newer Pis due to the use of arm64 (early Pis had a weird arch which sat between armel and armhf, so either you used armel and things were slow(er), or you r

    You mean astronomy, not physics. Physics is about telescopes (and other physical objects), and learning about basic telescopes, and how to improve them is part of optics courses. Astronomy on the other hand doesn't actually care how
