Despite the existential dread of unseasonable heat, I'm celebrating the first warm and gloriously sunny day of the year in Toronto with one of the more floral versions of pastis I've had. À la vôtre !

3 round Dallas Cowboys mock draft but no O-line pick allowed in first round of 2024 NFL Draft
Correct me if I'm wrong: 95% percent of the Dallas Cowboys draft coverage you've consumed this offseason has the front office picking an offensive lineman at 24th overall. I get it! The Cowboys badly need help after losing Tyler Biadasz and Tyron Smith up front. But in the world of the NFL Draft, you've got to be ready for anything and things are no different for this team. You can't be reaching for a player who isn't worth it just because of need. So what if the Cowboys don't draft an offensiv…

If you’ve got 99 bottles of beer on the wall, why are you passing one around? Clearly you have enough for everyone to have their own bottle.

After the Enlightenment, this way of one-sided thinking could've only been imposed on everyday people by malicious actors. At least most of these nice, god-fearing and law-abiding folk are in the opinion "just don't push your god, sexuality, and bodily autonomy on me." This is just one step away from making some kind of a pact--or, I don't know, an amendment?--to refrain from such divisive topics in politics and focus on solving issues that will improve everyone's l…

Matchings in multipartite hypergraphs
A folklore result on matchings in graphs states that if $G$ is a bipartite graph whose vertex classes $A$ and $B$ each have size $n$, with $\mathrm{deg}(u) \geq a$ for every $u \in A$ and $\mathrm{deg}(v) \geq b$ for every $v \in B$, then $G$ admits a matching of size $\min\{n, a+b\}$. In this paper we establish the analogous result for large $k$-partite $k$-uniform hypergraphs, answering a question of Han, Zang and Zhao, who previously demonstrated that this result holds under the additional c…
