Thanks for the thoughtful replies. Answers to questions:
Many people asked for the context. This is for college students using what they already know about the order of arithmetic operations to start analyzing the structure of code. In the activity, they visual code structures using these kind of diagrams. The important thing here is thus not just subtraction; it’s this way of visualizing the relationships — and there already is a sight-centeric word, “visualize!” But I suspect a blind reader could also use these spatial relationships as a learning tool…if there were a good way of conveying the spatial relationships.

Sehr schönes Zitat von #IsabellHermann auf der #rp25:
“Eine anti-dystopische Haltung bedeutet anzuerkennen, dass die Zukunft unvollkommen und konfliktreich sein wird, dass wir sie aber trotz aller Widrigkeiten zu einem guten Ort machen können.”

Generalstab korrigiert Zahl zerstörter russischer Bomber
Mehrere Stunden nach seinen ersten Angaben hat der ukrainische Generalstab die Zahl der bei einer Geheimdienstoperation in Russland zerstörten russischen Flugzeuge deutlich nach oben korrigiert. "Die Gesamtverluste der Besatzer belaufen sich auf 41 Militärflugzeuge, darunter strategische Bomber und andere Arten von Kampfflugzeugen", schrieb de…

Was über den ukrainischen Drohnenangriff bekannt ist
Tief im russischen Hinterland haben ukrainische Drohnen Luftwaffenstützpunkte angegriffen. Die Ukraine gibt an, Dutzende strategische Bomber Russlands zerstört zu haben. Wie soll sich der Angriff abgespielt haben - und wie reagiert Russland?

What is the Hierarchy Problem?
Is there a Hierarchy Problem? If so, what, exactly, is the problem? Almost every theorist has a personal answer to these questions. In this article, I give my answers. I will explain that the Hierarchy Problem is not a formal problem but rather our ignorance of a crucial physics explanation -- the explanation of the nature of the Higgs boson. Without the solution to this problem, we cannot make progress on the major questions of our field.

Spatiotemporal Synchronization of Distributed Arrays using Particle-Based Loopy Belief Propagation
Sensing and imaging with distributed radio infrastructures (e.g., distributed MIMO, wireless sensor networks, multistatic radar) rely on knowledge of the positions, orientations, and clock parameters of distributed apertures. We extend a particle-based loopy belief propagation (BP) algorithm to cooperatively synchronize distributed agents to anchors in space and time. Substituting marginalization over nuisance parameters with approximate but closed-form concentration, we derive an efficient est…

Sometimes you see stuff and have questions... But then you also rather would not have them answered...

"In Boston, between 1709 and 1713, townspeople protested vigorously and then took extralegal action when Andrew Belcher, a wealthy merchant, refused to stop exporting grain during a bread shortage in the city...he chose to export grain to the Caribbean, at a handsome profit, rather than sell it for a smaller profit to hungry townspeople, his ships were attacked and his warehouses emptied by an angry crowd...Bostonians of meagre means learned that through concerted action, the powerless could become powerful, if only for the moment. Wealthy merchants who would not listen to pleas from the community could be forced through collective action to subordinate profits to the public need."
