Go is 80/20 language: https://blog.kowalczyk.info/article/d-2025-06-26/go-is-8020-language.html
Good piece, a bit misleading on a couple of Go details but essentially right I think. I spent my last 20 years of employment working in Java-heavy …

Welp. Was going to take advantage of the rare vacation day on a work day between the weekend and Canada Day to go buy rocks for the #poolpond but turns out the local rock/cement place is taking the day off too. Fair. 🤷‍♂️
I took the trailer for a bath at the car wash instead and got the watering done before the heat sets in today.
Maybe later I will go get some lengths of pipe. But I sense a swim in the lake. 🏊‍♂️ #today #canadaday
What are you up to today? Day off, or slaving for The Man?

Oriented diameter of graphs with diameter $4$ and given maximum edge girth
Let $G$ be a bridgeless graph. We introduce the maximum edge girth of $G$, denoted by $g^*(G)=\max\{l_G(e)\mid e\in E(G)\}$, where $l_G(e)$ is the edge girth of $e$, defined as the length of the shortest cycle containing $e$. Let $F(d,A)$ be the smallest value for which every bridgeless graph $G$ with diameter $d$ and $g^*(G)\in A$ admits a strong orientation $\overrightarrow{G}$ such that the diameter of $\overrightarrow{G}$ is at most $F(d,A)$. Let $f(d)=F(d,A)$, where $A=\{a\in \mathbb{N}\mi…

All-sky search for individual Primordial Black Hole bursts with LHAASO
Primordial Black Holes~(PBHs) are hypothetical black holes with a wide range of masses that formed in the early universe. As a result, they may play an important cosmological role and provide a unique probe of the early universe. A PBH with an initial mass of approximately $10^{15}$~g is expected to explode today in a final burst of Hawking radiation. In this work, we conduct an all-sky search for individual PBH burst events using the data collected from March 2021 to July 2024 by the Water Che…
