New audacious scam #spam: Claims to be an invite to a "Team meeting" for a whole organization in MS Teams. Payload links don't go to MS, but rather to the CloudFlare-obfuscated ctrk.klclick3.com which redirects to eclicks.chantersselfstorage.co.uk which doesn't answer & may be a failed(?) DNS hijacking; the main domain looks like a UK business,while their web and mail is at Host…

I maintain a page linking to comments I have left (or when I’m referenced) on posts at CSS Tricks and Smashing Magazine:

I started this as a gag, but it’s been hella useful for me to go back and find posts that resulted in me having to debunk them face-to-face with people who believe…

That @… now links out to the #panoramax images if they are annotated on objects (using the `panoramax=` tag), it's a good reason to go through existing sequences and link images to things!

@… I'm having scrolling issues w/ the latest web mastodon version v4.5.0-alpha.1@7d3ef27 io on vmst.io. I'm running the latest firefox v141.
When I scroll down, things work fine, when I try to go up, the feed jumps back down, I think when going over posts w/ embedded links, but it doesn't seem to be all of them so I'm not sure of the condition which is setting this off.
It happens scrolling w/ the mouse wheel and the keyboard arrow keys, but not the dragging the scrollbar.

Morse matchings and Khovanov homology of 4-strand torus links
Given a link or a tangle diagram, we define algorithmic Morse theoretic simplifications on their Khovanov homology. In contrast to Bar-Natan's scanning algorithm, the cancellations are postponed until the end and performed in one go. Although our novel approach is computationally inferior to Bar-Natan's algorithm, it side-steps the need for a large amount of iterations, making it more fitting for theoretical analysis. Our main application is towards integral Khovanov homology of 4-strand torus …
