2 posts by Boze the Library O... @SketchesbyBoze: I never thought I'd be nostalgic for the twentieth century, but increasingly the years 1945-2000 seem like a golden age. A literate & well-informed populace, alliances that kept the great powers from war, some of the greatest films & music ever made. We have lost so much.

Weird feeling as while looking to answer to the question "how do I get the coordinates of the minimal value of a numpy.ndarray ?", found that I already asked that question ten years ago: laurentperrinet.github.io/scib

Finding extremal values in a nd-array
Sometimes, you need to pick up the $N$-th extremal values in a mutli-dimensional matrix. Let's suppose it is represented as a nd-array (here, I further suppose you are using the numpy library from th

I am currently sitting in the Helsinki Library Oodi, and the plane that should take me from Helsinki to Copenhagen and Zurich (yes, the same plane) hasn't left Munich yet, it's delayed 1.5 hours. And it still needs to fly to Copenhagen and then Helsinki!

Following federal cuts to history-focused organizations, the president of the Canadian Historical Association, Colin Coates, sent this letter to Marc Miller, the Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture.
One thing might not be obvious: Coates's reference to Carney's recent Quebec City speech suggests Canadians' need for historical context right now. He doesn't agree with Carney's claims. In fact, most Canadian historians would dispute them.

Letter: Dear Minister Miller, I am writing to you in my capacity as president of the Canadian Historical Association | Société historique du Canada. The members of our association have been distressed to see the recent news about cutbacks in a number of federal government units that are very important to all Canadians who are interested in the history of our country: Library and Archives Canada, the Canadian Museum of History and the Canadian War Museum, Parks Canada, and Statistics Canad…
Letter: While we cannot expect the federal government to address problems at the provincial level, in your role as Minister of Canadian Heritage, we hope that we can count on you to advocate on behalf of all Canadians to maintain and enhance the role of agencies that collect data and records and make them accessible to broad publics. We recognise that the country faces many current challenges, but we do not want short-sighted decisions to have long-lasting effects on the future study of the co…
