Seconded. It was a great game, albeit with not so much replay value. There is a great interview with Blow on the technicalities of the warping effects in Braid: https://youtu.be/8dinUbg2h70 In addition to Limbo and Inside,

I wonder why the authors took the time to generate an image of their pattern but refrained from giving the actual DEFINITION. This does not foster constructive discussion of any possible ideas present. As can be seen in dozens of well-meani

I never quite got my head around the value proposition for distributed ledgers in logistics ('smart warehouses / supply chains') and manufacturing ('industry 4.0'). Say you want to trace eco paper rolls around the g

And how does your Kenyan/North Korean/Syrian person buy gasoline/rice/paper with this asset? Meanwhile, drug cartels, first world millenials and financial investors are in possession of ~100% of this technology. They are

This ^. If you wonder, 'what complex numbers are all about', then chances are you can't give the universal property of the tensor product, or the definition of a Riemannian manifold, or a complex Lie group, either. I suggest

I remember the buzz in Germany's math graduate community, when word of Scholze's perfectoid spaces began to go around. Reading groups spawned everywhere trying to get a grasp on the technicalities: Work in number theory very often

Not sure, if linking to the pdf is frowned upon here: sci-hub.cc and paste the paper name, voilá.

Since the notion of curved path (maybe aside from circular arcs) is not discussed in basic geometry, the problem would be impossible to state. If you assume given the notion of arc-length as the least-upper-bound on lengths of piecewise-lin

This is a pictorial description of the proof in the sibling comment. It does not use calculus of variations, just the definition of the path length of a (differentiable parametrized) curve. If you want to call your parametrization a "l

Well, it's not such a big deal, apparently. Everybody looking the other way, when the boss touches the secretary. Good times!

Well, if you said instead, you killed several of your prior bosses and the widowed partners of some these were making public appearances in TV and you settled claims with some of them for undisclosed sums of money, yes, then I would maybe

Do you think that the ideas of Leibniz and Cauchy, that is differential and integral calculus, of Heisenberg and Einstein, that is Quantum mechanics and Relativity, of Curie, Mendelejew, Hahn, Bosch, ... basically, of any non-english speak

In my field of expertise, which is mathematics, this is certainly possible. My French and Russian is bad, to say the least. I doubt I have a vocabulary of more than 200 words in each, but I have no problems reading, for example, EGA [1]. Al

You are aware of the fact, that Einstein's papers are in German, right? > The vast majority of new scientific papers are written in English and hence every new concept within them can’t be expressed in any other language since there

To translate scientific literature is the easiest part of translation. In fact, a lot of papers don't even get translated because everyone can read them after learning 100-200 words from the respective language. I can tell you that mos

Some people act so self-entitled, it hurts. Just because you seem to neither have appreciation for beauty nor humanities, doesn't free you from acknowledging it in others. Your premise seems to be that all languages are 'Turing-eq

Your style of writing doesn't warrant a reply, but anyway: Your "argument" seems to be: Who calls McD unhealthy or bland must be "fucking brainless", also if McD food were as cheap as it is, because it's of the

Cebotarev is a bit of overkill (and not equivalent!) for this and hard to grasp, if your Algebraic Number Theory is a bit rusty. I recommend Dirichlet's Theorem on arithmetic progressions instead (everybody loves Euler's totient f

Minor nitpick: The authors are not the first ones to recognize that 'tensor' makes a great (brand-) name. As someone who is paid to think about tensors this is a bit annoying, because the first thing in my mind when I read a page
