Thanks a ton for letting me know about it and sharing the fix as well. Fixed it now. Will spend sometime soon and sort the other Firefox issues that I discovered as well. Cheers!

Here are some relatively lesser known blogs that I can recommend, apart from the usual suspects (worrydream, John Baez etc.) https://jeremykun.com http://colah.github.io https://mathwithbaddrawings.com h

Quite impressed with the way this handled some edge cases I tried out. (Four word company name with the third word having 20 characters, twenty word string etc.) I'm sure a lot of thought went into algorithmizing how to best represent

Great job! Thank you. I'll see if I can add support to this for the last.fm scrobbler extension that I use. PS: For those of you who use Apple music and are into Indie / Alternative music, here's a 2018 mixtape I made recent

Interesting. Came across this recently on David Lynch / Angelo Badalamenti's free-jazz record's album cover. https://thoughtgang.bandcamp.com/

If I had to choose just one blog or a twitter account for that hypothetical deserted island question(what is the one x-item you'd choose if stranded on a deserted island?), it would be that of John Baez without a second thought. His pe

Thank You! I'll explore it soon when I get some time.

Nice. A spiral with decreasing radius essentially. On a side note, I wonder what configuration/distribution of magnetic force will make a charged particle move like this.

On a somewhat unrelated and maybe tangential note, I felt the logo of Torrent Freak reminded me of Techcrunch quite a bit and ran it against the logo database I have and indeed found Techcrunch show up in the results. http://comp

Great piece this. The Ex is a Dutch band I'd recommend to anyone who is into Fugazi. They have a similar philosophy towards music production with a more noise/post-punk aesthetic.

Sad to hear that. Didn't know about it.

Have just ordered the e-book. Didn't expect to find a chapter on Hyperbolic tessellations. Nice!

I am a huge fan of Jeremy's blog. Found his primers on a multitude of topics very useful - https://jeremykun.com/primers/ As a Math guy who got into the world of programming relatively recently, I am on the opposi

Neat. We should start a club :) And I don't think OCD is a cause for concern unless it interferes with your daily functions. I personally feel it is a plus point when it comes to problem solving and research. Apart from this, I also ha

I know right! This sequence actually has a history of being discovered by people over and over again through out history. I am the linkdot chap btw :)

Awesome :) It stuck around till I was 7-8 years old in my case too I think. I still do it every now and then. Counting syllables and interchanging vowel sounds is another thing I indulge in frequently. Vibrant looks really cool btw. Will ch

As a kid, I used to frequently do things in a pattern that I discovered much later to be the [0]Thue Morse sequence. 1001-0110-0110-1001 and so on. For example, "1" would be snapping fingers and "0" touching my nose. Nev

I started teaching myself Racket recently and eventually ended up looking into the innards of lambda calculus formalism. It got me thinking about what the ramifications of embracing constructivism would be towards computability in general.

That's an interesting sample point. Lets hope research can shed more light on this.

Seeing how this research is done with syllabic scripts, it might be worthwhile to have the same repeated with alphabetic and hieroglyphic scripts and see if any interesting results can be gleaned, like something equivalent to Sapir-Whorf hy

Ugh. I just noticed how I bungled it up with my phrasing. I meant "argument for manifestations of god/aliens/" and not "argument for god/aliens" And I totally agree with you.

I always found it quite interesting to see the parallels between arguments for God and aliens -- X can't be explained by science so I'm going to jump to the conclusion I want to believe. I thought I was immune to this kind of reas

Exactly! I can't remember where but I distinctly remember some theory quantifying this as almost-1, almost-2,... as a function of the number of finite (or countably infinite maybe) exceptions.

A recent twitter thread that could be helpful - https://twitter.com/johncarlosbaez/status/105620018913060044... And this from the same thread :) https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DqhjmPdU4AAb979.jpg

Remember coming across this concept while reading about Measure theory. There are also concepts like "almost well-ordered" and "almost complete" in graph theory if my memory serves right.
