Les Ladazz 1989-1993 (2022)
Les Ladazz was a French garage punk/DIY band from Strasbourg, active from 1989 to 1993. This is pretty much all I can find about this band. Never heard of them til a friend played this on his show. They have a familiar sound with some unique quirks.
This retrospective album features a rotation of singers and musicians over the band’s lifetime and was released only on Bandcamp.

Practitioners At The Limit: Bereavement, Mockery and Ideology in Response to Crisis
After decades in which the software industry heroized its technical employees, our current moment finds those employees in crisis. Economically, they are squeezed by a job market that has turned on them since Elon Musk gutted Twitter in 2022. Politically, their craft is continually pressed into the service of an ever tighter alliance between Big Tech and authoritarianism. Professionally, they find themselves less and less able to contribute anything good to anyone within business models that ar…

Cheeger Inequalities for the Persistent Laplacian
Magnus Bakke Botnan, Rui Dong
https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.02846 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2606.02846 https://arxiv.org/html/2606.02846
arXiv:2606.02846v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We study Cheeger-type inequalities for persistent Laplacians associated with inclusions of simplicial complexes $\mathcal{K}\hookrightarrow \mathcal{L}$. We introduce a persistent up $p$-Laplacian $\Delta_{q,p,\mathrm{up}}^{\mathcal{K},\mathcal{L}}$ for $p\geq 1$. For $p=2$, this recovers the usual persistent up Laplacian, while for $p=1$ it yields a nonzero persistent Cheeger constant $\varphi_q^{\mathcal{K},\mathcal{L}}$. We prove a Cheeger-type inequality relating $\varphi_q^{\mathcal{K},\mathcal{L}}$ to the smallest nonzero eigenvalue of $\Delta_{q,\mathrm{up}}^{\mathcal{K},\mathcal{L}}$. This gives a persistent extension of recent work by Jost and Zhang (Ann. Sc. Norm. Super. Pisa Cl. Sci., 2024; arXiv:2302.01069).
We then study two more structured settings. Under a locally complete $q$-skeleton assumption on $\mathcal{K}$, we extend the complete-skeleton isoperimetric inequality of Parzanchevski--Rosenthal--Tessler (Combinatorica, 2016; arXiv:1207.0638) to the persistent setting. For orientable $(q 1)$-dimensional pseudomanifolds, we prove a Kron-type reduction of the persistent up Laplacian to a vertex- and edge-weighted graph Laplacian, possibly with Dirichlet boundary terms, and obtain two-sided Cheeger inequalities; this is related to the dual-graph perspective in the work of Steenbergen--Klivans--Mukherjee (Adv. Appl. Math., 2014; arXiv:1209.5091). We also describe the nonzero persistent Cheeger constant $\varphi_q^{\mathcal{K},\mathcal{L}}$ explicitly in terms of the dual graph in the non-branching pseudomanifold case. Finally, for graph inclusions $H\hookrightarrow G$, we compare the persistent Cheeger constants introduced here with the Kron-reduction Cheeger constants of M\'emoli et al. (SIAM J. Math. Data Sci., 2022; arXiv:2012.02808).
