Does "desk-rejected" mean it was rejected by an editor who decided the paper was so wrong it wasn't even necessary to get a referee report? (I am familiar with the scientific publication process being a mathematician, but hav

Vim uses both models, it uses the object-action model in visual mode.

Makes sense. I'm lucky no one asks me git questions: the few friends I have that use git know it much better than I do; most of my friends and all of my family don't use git at all.

When do you have to use git rather than magit?

I thought it was funny to have such an obviously impossible instruction in the FSF form and never once thought it would bother anyone. If it bothered you that I submitted this, I do apologize.

I don't know if the change I just made to the title makes it better or not, but I think it at least captures my intent better.

Is it correct to refer to those transliterations on passport as "full legal name"?
104.
by omaranto 5y ago
I do happen to have a passport and it does have a version of my name in only ASCII characters, in all caps. I'm not sure whether what is on my passport is "my full legal name" or not. Indeed I do not know if that term has a p

For the record, my name only contains one non-ASCII character, an "í". So what I did was change it to an "i" for the email subject line, and in the body of the email point out I could not follow their instructions litera

by omaranto 5y ago
I haven't. I gave them my legal name and an ASCII approximation of it (which just changes an "í" to an "i"), and I'll let them decide whether what to use. I doubt it will ever matter anyway.

by omaranto 5y ago
I don't think ASCII is unreasonable at all here! But the instructions could be worded in a way that it is possible to comply with them, instead of this formulation which is technically impossible for many people. It could say: somethin

I think they don't mean UTF-8, since they said ASCII. But I agree that they probably did mean something like "if your legal name cannot be written in ASCII and there is some standard way for it to be transliterated to ASCII use th

by omaranto 5y ago
I'm amused, not upset. I tried to follow this impossible instruction as best I could and decided they probably cared more about ASCII than about getting my legal name, so I changed and "í" to an "i".

All names can be transliterated if you can agree on the transliteration system with the FSF. :P Even if you stick to just "standard" transliteration probably most names can be transliterated. The problem is that the transliteratio

This FSF form assumes everyone's full legal name can be written in ASCII (2011)(orgmode.org)

Well it is simple for a description of a topos. If you know the definition of topos, you are likely to also know what the canonical coverage is and what sheaves are, etc.

I don't know about Jane Street or Galois, but Renaissance is full of mathematicians so I doubt they'd be impressed by Euler's theorem. Math students learn it in undergrad, it is considered basic.
