Version 2.0 of my pinned self-description thread. 𧔠I'm a French+Canadian mathematician and gay geek, living in Paris, with eclectic tastes and interests. I tweet about all sorts of things, sometimes obsessively on one subject for days, later dropping it completely. â€”ïž âą1/17

(Everyone, of course, except the editors of Wikipedia who will face an endless stupid semantic debate on whether the MAGA Nobel Prize is or is not a Nobel Prize.)

All the US conservatives really need to do is create a âHeritage Foundation Prize for Making America Great Again in Memory of Alfred Nobelâ with an extra large gold medal and award it to Donald Trump, and everyone will be happy!
Interesting that the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel managed to weasel itself so successfully into the âNobel Prizeâ list that even the official account seems to forgets that there is no more Nobel Prize in Economics than in Mathematics.

Or, as I pointed out earlier:
Economists are more shrewd tacticians than mathematicians: there was no Nobel prize in economics so they created a âSveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobelâ, which is such a mouthful that everyone just says âNobel prize in economicsâ. âŠ

J'ai trouvĂ© Ă©tonnamment intĂ©ressante la sĂ©rie documentaire diffusĂ©e sur Arte âMonaco: La grande histoire d'un micro-Ă©tatâ (de FrĂ©dĂ©ric Compain, 3Ă45min). Alors que je pensais le sujet pas super passionnant a priori.

Quelqu'un que j'avais croisĂ© dans une association LGBT (il y a ~25 ans) m'avait blaguĂ© qu'il choisissait ses compagnons pour leurs qualitĂ©s comme ex parce qu'ils passeraient certainement beaucoup plus de temps dans l'Ă©tat «ex» que dans l'Ă©tat «copain». âŠ

⊠and having a smartphone app to âperform the function of a smartphoneâ is a bit nondescriptive as to what that app actually does.

Also this đœ: a đ± smartphone has so many functions whereas a đ telephone receiver has only one. The đ± icon could refer to any or all of the functions of a smartphone, âŠ
@gro_tsen And the new idea is a complete misinterpretation. The old phone icon was there to convey the meaning of a "call", which a smartphone icon doesn't convey at all, since it's a category defined by the fact that it does more than just make calls.

Let's also change the letter âAâ to a real bull's head because people are too stupid to deal with ideas.

Yesterday, someone said to me: âThe definition of âleisureâ is what you do with your time and wouldn't want someone else to do in your stead.â I really like this formulation.

⊠causing it to enter a special mode which subtly breaks the numeric keypad. (And before running a program like âcatâ, zsh sends ââ[?1lâ which restores the keypad to a saner mode.) WHY this shit even exists or WHY zsh decides to send it is lost to the mists of time. đ€·

(This is not because of a misconfiguration on my part: I checked with a pristine config.) The reason is some incomprehensibly bizarre shit like only Unix can invent: zsh sends the arcane ââ[?1hâ (where âââ stands for escape, i.e., \033) control sequence to the terminal âŠ

Under Linux, if I open zsh in an xterm (or gnome-terminal) and press the â+â key of the numeric keypad, instead of entering â+â it rings the bell. đ€Š Oddly enough, if I type âcatâ and type â+â inside cat, it works fine. The keypad â+â is only broken inside zsh itself. Why? âŠ

Pour moi c'est ça le truc qui rend les tramways souvent merdiques comme moyens de transport (et encore, celui-lĂ avec le T11 est sans doute le moins pourri en ĂdF): beaucoup trop d'arrĂȘts, donc beaucoup trop rapprochĂ©s, par rapport Ă la trĂšs faible capacitĂ© d'accĂ©lĂ©ration.

Courbe de vitesse en fonction de la distance relevĂ© tout Ă l'heure par mon GPS pour un trajet du tram T13 d'Ăle-de-France entre Camp des Loges et Saint-Cyr. Manifestement il lui faut environ 800m pour accĂ©lĂ©rer ou freiner Ă vitesse de pointe (100km/h). âŠ
