A short thread on Emmy Noether and giving credit.
Felix Klein gave a lecture at the Mathematical Society of Göttingen #OTD in 1918. The title was “On Hilbert’s first note on the foundations of physics."
Klein included excerpts from letters in which he and Hilbert give priority to Emmy Noether for her results on conservation of energy in general relativity.
@raemahoney @dabertime So sorry for your loss
What was that about the reputation of the illustrious US Supreme Court?
"A secretly made documentary expanding on allegations of sexual assault against supreme court justice Brett Kavanaugh has premiered at this year’s Sundance film festival."
“I do hope this triggers outrage,” said producer Amy Herdy in a Q&A after the premiere in Park City, Utah. “I do hope that this triggers action, I do hope that this triggers additional investigation with real subpoena powers.”

About to go get my 5y/o a Covid shot.
We haven’t told her.
She’s absolutely terrified of needles.
If you hear any screaming and crying, Don’t judge 😂😅😩
i was laid-off twice early in my career in very large reorgs / cost-cutting.
the thing that wld have been helpful for me to hear then was 'this is not abt you. you were a number on someone's spreadsheet. they wanted that number to go down by 1000 or 2000 or 10,000'.
so, to anyone who needs to hear that today:
it's not abt you. you did nothing wrong.
@Bigthinkingcap And along those lines…. https://youtu.be/1R3G_beQccA
@Bigthinkingcap I had forgotten about chiller theatre until seeing this. https://youtu.be/Ux3laLkueZk
@sand @salliebecker Good job dad!
Just refinished this plant stand I built a few years ago. It was previously on the back deck, but the wife wanted inside. It's in good shape except for discoloration in a few places from over-watering the plants. Treated it with oxalic acid got most of the stains out.
Originally finished it with Danish oil. This time I used two coats of Tung oil followed by a coat of paste wax. Love the beautiful amber patina.
It's made from cypress, which is a really interesting wood to work.
Lunchtime, charity book shop. Found this, Practical Vim (e.g. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13607232-practical-vim).
Inside, this bookmark. Someone printed out Xkcd #378 (https://xkcd.com/378/), stuck it onto card, and used it in a vim textbook. Yes, of course I bought it. And an inch-to-the-mile map of the quantocks. #vim

I’m willing to be wrong, certainty often means that I don’t actually understand the problem
