St. Cloud State University #Minnesota proposes cutting 46 degree programs, 50 minor programs, 57 faculty positions including Earth Science, Hydrology, Geography, GIS

St. Cloud State proposes cutting degree programs, faculty positions – again
The university is recommending cuts to 96 programs and 57 faculty.

"#Buildings are at the heart of our fight against #climatechange. They account for approximately 34% of global energy use and 37% of global greenhouse gas emissions. [We need] to innovate & leverage tech to make buildings smarter & more efficient.

Same story.

Right: NYT headline
The Times is correct on this one, as the Post admits grudgingly in the second paragraph of its story, which goes on to read like an editorial for cutting social security.

On finite group global and gauged $q$-form symmetries in TQFT
We describe a method to implement finite group global and gauged $q$-form symmetries into the axiomatic structure of $d$-dimensional Topological Quantum Field Theory (TQFT) in terms of bordisms decorated by cohomology classes. Namely, on a manifold with a boundary, the gauge field is considered as a class in an appropriate relative cohomology group. It is defined in a way that allows self-consistent cutting and gluing of the manifolds and involves a choice of a $(d-q-2)$-skeleton in the boundar…

Nearly 1 in 5 GOP primary voters across four contests Tuesday voted for an option other than the presumptive nominee.
That’s about the same proportion that voted against him on the last big primary day, March 19.

While President Biden continues to cede votes as well
— largely protests over his Gaza war policy, reflected in choices like “uncommitted”
— Trump is ceding more.

Since Nikki Haley dropped out of the campaign after Super Tuesday on March 5, an average of 17…

1 in 5 GOP primary voters keep bucking Trump. What does it mean?
The Republican presidential nominating contest effectively came to an end nearly a month ago, but the protest vote against Trump is still going strong.

Now GEOS driver for 1541 disk drive(s) connected via parallel cable is twice as fast as original code. Sectors are read and decoded from GCR into binary on the fly, while the data is loaded. Then the checksum is computed during data transfer.
This was once thought to be impossible on 1541 (too slow CPU), but LFT's clever coding was a real breakthrough for fastloaders.

Geert Wilders, the man once known for his fiery rhetoric and distinctive hairdo is now set to tackle what he describes as “the real fowl play in society.”
