Internal Pattern Matching in Small Space and Applications
In this work, we consider pattern matching variants in small space, that is, in the read-only setting, where we want to bound the space usage on top of storing the strings. Our main contribution is a space-time trade-off for the Internal Pattern Matching (IPM) problem, where the goal is to construct a data structure over a string $S$ of length $n$ that allows one to answer the following type of queries: Compute the occurrences of a fragment $P$ of $S$ inside another fragment $T$ of $S$, provide…

Huge. *The* higher education story to watch - not just in Canada but internationally.
RE: tuition hikes for out-of-province Canadian and international students for the only three English universities in Quebec: 'We are undertaking...legal action because we believe that these measures are illegal and if upheld, will threaten McGill’s mission,' Deep Saini, President and VC @…

McGill launches legal challenge against government measures
Following a unanimous vote at a special Board meeting on February 15, McGill University today launched a legal challenge against two measures announced by the Government of Quebec on December 14, 2023: Tuition increases for Canadian students from outside Quebec studying in undergraduate and professional master’s programs; and Changes to the funding model for international students studying in undergraduate and professional master’s programs. The University is asking the court to issue a sta…

Erg leuk dat je op Netflix zoveel Italiaanse films en series hebt om te oefenen, maar Napolitaans gaat me toch hoog boven de pet

Two of the best films I’ve seen of Jaclyn Jose in a leading role, one dramatic, the other comedic.

Apple's Box Office Misfires: Are Napoleon, Flower Moon, Argylle Worth It?
Apple spent at least $700 million to make "Killers of the Flower Moon," "Napoleon" and "Argylle." They grossed a combined $466 million worldwide.

"Any centralized communication platform, particularly one operated for profit, is vulnerable to being coopted by the powerful. This might mean exploiting users to maximize short-term profits or changing moderation rules to silence marginalized people and promote hate speech. The past year has seen unprecedented numbers of users fleeing X, Reddit, and other platforms over changes in policy. But leaving these platforms, whether in protest, disgust, or boredom, leaves behind an important d…

Nanometer thick magneto-optical iron garnet films
Here we demonstrate nanometer thick iron garnet films suitable for the magneto-optical applica-tions. Bismuth-substituted iron garnet films of compositions Bi{_1}Y{_2}Fe{_5}O{_{12}} and Bi{_1}Tm{_2}Fe{_5}O{_{12}} deposited on gadolinium gallium garnet substrate are fabricated and characterized. Their thicknesses range from 2 to 10 nm, which corresponds to just a few crystal lattice constants. Faraday rotation of the nanofilms reaches 29.7 deg/μm at 420 nm which is comparable and even a bit bet…
