Programming language trade-offs
This article is also available in Serbo-Croatian This article is also available in Dutch There has been much discussion of late in Drupal about Object-Oriented Programming. That's not really surprising, given that Drupal 7 is the first version that has really tried to use objects in any meaningful way (vis, as something…

Dutch gas storages: First, the Netherlands made an EU commitment to reach 74% of capacity before winter and it set itself a target of 80%. But filling progressed much too slowly to reach that and now, just before the end of the filling season, the target is lowered to 64%.

Minder energiezekerheid deze winter: kabinet gaat gasvoorraad minder vullen
Nederland heeft deze winter minder gas in de strategische voorraden zitten dan gepland. Het kabinet stelt het zogenoemde vuldoel naar beneden bij 'om te voorkomen dat de gasprijs verder wordt opgedreven'. Bij een kouder dan gemiddelde winter, of problemen met de aanvoer, kan dat penibel worden.

Abstract: We study an adapted Ricci flow of connections with metric torsion on surfaces with positive Euler characteristic. We first prove that there do not exist any nontrivial solitons of the flow on the $2$-sphere thus confirming a conjecture of Branding--Kr\"oncke (J. Geom. Anal. 27.3 (2017), arXiv:1606.09121). We give an explicit family of torsion data for which the corresponding global solutions fail to converge on $\mathbb{S}^2$. Nevertheless, we provide several sufficient conditions for the convergence of the flow to a stationary point. We first prove that the normalized adapted Ricci flow always converges on $\mathbb{RP}^2$, which completely answers a question in the paper of Branding and Kr\"oncke. Using this, we deduce that the flow converges on $\mathbb{S}^2$ whenever the initial metric and the torsion one-form are antipodally symmetric. We also prove a {\L}ojasiewicz--Simon gradient inequality for the flow and use it to prove convergence to a stationary point provided the solution is close to an arbitrary stationary point.

At around five o’clock on a winter evening in 2013, then college student Sam Forstag was driving through a snowstorm toward his third job of the day, making sandwiches at the Subway inside a Walmart.
“I was always late,” Forstag recalled with a laugh more than a decade later.
Halfway there, the gray sedan in front of him lost traction. It spun across the icy road and slid nose-first into a ditch.
Forstag’s first instinct was to pull over.
Growing up in a tight-knit c…

I'm not a Zelda OR GTA guy really (unless you count that first top down GTA) but I love how Nintendo is releasing the new Ocarina remaster just TWO weeks before the new GTA. Nintendo has said dates are everything to them, they always plan it out, sometimes holding games for months or years- so this is totally intentional. Love the level of petty 😂

Nini, a "folk metal" musician from Taiwan was about to kick off her US tour when a member of her band was detained and arrested by ICE at the airport yesterday as they were leaving rehearsals on their way to their first show of the tour.
The person they took is a professional throat singer who went to graduate school in the US, has been here over ten years, and is currently on an artist's visa while awaiting processing of their green card.
She put a call out to ask …

No es nada nuevo, pero tenemos que mejorar cómo cuidamos el planeta, sin lugar a dudas. Y es que este año la tasa de incendios, la falta de lluvia, las temperaturas extremas es algo que no había pasado antes.
Por poner un ejemplo, que obviamente no es representativo porque no son datos científicos, pero donde vivo, en Jaca, Pirineo Aragonés, nunca habíamos tenido incendios rodeando esta zona tan grandes y tan fuertes. Y es que en el verano llevamos ya unos cuantos. Hoy ha empezado uno …
