First #JMM I'm going to in quite a while. Who will be there? Senior colleagues, I have a (career) question I could use some perspective on, so if you'll be there and I can pick your brain, please let me know!

In case you missed the first batch, five more codes just dropped at the @mathtech.org chat. mathtech.org/chat

I always get annoyed when people say ‘mathemagics’ as why something works in physics - during some sort of derivation. But these two (and credit to others as well) seem like real life mathemagicians.

Excited to share the below announcement for our new app at pretext.plus -- author PreTeXt in your web browser, no GitHub required! Join the @mathtech.org Discord chat to grab an invite code: first come, first served! pretext.plus/projects/80f...

Spending this New Year's Eve helping my daughter's in-home day care redo their website, because, does baby have hat www.jeremykun.com/2025/04/01/d...

Will do! I also just joined @code4math.org and will introduce myself over there. I've started putting my favorite workflows into gists to share, like a little potpourri of fun stuff that might not work out of the box, but will be close!

This has got to be a bit (there's only 120, and this screenshot is some kind of romhack lol)

I used to be good at video games. 😔

Tired: Twelve Angry Men Wired: Twelve Obnoxious Faculty

Yup. This is the same nothingburger freakout the photography community had about Adobe’s TOS in 2024. Surprised it took this long to make it to the higher ed community.

I mean it literally says "for the purpose of [running our apps]" and not "whatever we want". But it is annoying that standard terms of use must be so dense/comprehensive that casual users can be freaked out by the language. It's actually good that you give a license so they can provide the service!

It's time to party like it's 1995

Eat your heart out Final Fantasy

Who Rickrolled Benoit Blanc: A Knives Out Mystery

An appropriate present for this past year.

Pro tip: the lift restriction they give you after a cholecystectomy doesn't *explicitly* forbid you from showing your 7yo how far you can leap, but maybe an intelligent person could have figured that out without finding out the hard way?

Putting "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" on the lineup of "MeTV Toons" is an act of violence against geriatric millennials such as myself.

What always bothers me about discussions of "ethics" in software is that the punchline is always "and this cost their employer a lot of money." I don't think employer expense is the primary ethical problem that software engineers should think about.

Chat did I teach her the right or wrong lesson by beating Zelda Link to the Past under 4 minutes using glitches?

God so loved the world that he sent his only Son, not to live as a worldly king, but as a migrant, a servant leader, a teacher, and ultimately a martyr. Too many conflate worldly wealth and power with godliness. I appreciate anyone who seeks to be truly Christlike, whether you're Christian or not.

"Honestly, thank god I had my drum with me because otherwise, I would have been empty-handed at what soon became a full-fledged baby shower."

Dad may have made a strong suggestion to Santa this year. 🎮

Best delivery of the line hands down.

I think it's sweet that the oldest surviving printed book in the world - the Diamond Sutra - is also the oldest creative work explicitly released into the public domain, with a colophon at the end that says it was created for universal free distribution. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond...

Saving this for later use. #MathSky

Okay sorry to webdev post on MathSky but omg do I just suck at React or is it really this boilerplatey? Missing @svelte.dev rn 😭

Christianity absolutely requires you to welcome immigrants. No exceptions. No “if they follow the law.” No “if they contribute economically.” No exceptions. Welcome them. Treat them as a citizen. Love them.

Another day without needing to know that the midi-chlorian is the powerhouse of the cell.

New video! How Lucky is the Mario Kart 64 World Record? youtu.be/HgsWoP5rqLA

A daring escape past y^2=x^3+x+3 over F14641 I was sent a lovely little paper last June about visualizing elliptic curves over finite fields and you just know I had to draw about it. Anyway now it’s space and piracy is involved!

#MathSky #MTBoS and co, I'm trying to revive my WeBWorK problems Abstract Algebra project alongside my Abstract Algebra, Actively! textbook in PreTeXt. While I'm confident in my ability to remember PGML, I'm not sure where the best place to turn for help with Runestone. Leads appreciated!

In Every 5x6 Nonogram, players can have unique colors that leave a permanent mark in the puzzle grid when nonograms are solved. It's been interesting to see these "turf wars" play out. puzzarium.com/every-5x6-no...

oh my god

So close...
