A recurring issue:
Source of Truth vs Point of Truth with many-system setups.
Imagine having separate
- issue tracking (e.g. JIRA)
- time tracking (e.g. Toggl)
- development tracking (e.g. GitLab)
- daily team sync (e.g. Confluence)
- weekly sync with stakeholders (...)
Without diligent manual labor or a lot of handcrafted automation, those keep getting out of sync.
I listened to my inherited Flatt & Scruggs Vinyl yesterday - all ringing banjo and stuff and really deep long accents; it's really nice - I think the two I like the most are the 'Hot Corn, Cold Corn' and 'The Martha White Theme' (the latter is a jingle they did for a flour brand!)

One of my pet peeves of recent years has been the mainstream press:
(1) adopting “populism” as a euphemism for fascism (e.g. “Trump’s populist rhetoric”), which is at best a blurring of the word’s actual meaning (yes, fascists can use populist language, but populism is not their defining feature), and then
(2) applying the word in its original meaning (i.e. mass appeal to ordinary people) to leftists in direct comparison to fascists as if this constitutes a useful insight (e.g. “politicians with a populist message, such as Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders”).
Every year, near the end of my accelerated intro class (0190), I've done the Halting Problem and briefly mentioned Rice's Theorem. It's finally(!) dawned on me that Rice's is more fundamental. Re-jigging class design! Also great to tie it up with, e.g., code.pyret.org .

Mastodon's the right model. But to be truly *useful* politcally - the Bluesky/Mastodonian idea of "we will make our safe space over here" might be pleasant for many and that's fine
But they're not healthy for useful political discourse, which is often ugly, but generates the necessary talk.

Characterization of Some Graphs Realizing Regularity Bounds for Binomial Edge Ideals
Nursel Erey, Muhammed Ergen, Takayuki Hibi
https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.06524 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2602.06524 https://arxiv.org/html/2602.06524
arXiv:2602.06524v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: In this paper, we characterize all graphs $G$ satisfying \[\operatorname{reg}(S/J_G)=\ell(G)=c(G)\] where $\ell(G)$ is the sum of the lengths of the longest induced paths in each connected component of $G$ and $c(G)$ is the number of the maximal cliques of $G$. We also characterize all connected graphs $G$ that satisfy \[\operatorname{reg}(S/J_G)=\ell(G)=|V(G)|-\omega(G) 1\] where $\omega(G)$ is the clique number of $G$. Moreover, we investigate the possible values of the regularity of $S/J_G$ within the intervals $[\ell(G), c(G)]$ and $[\ell(G), |V(G)|-\omega(G) 1]$.

So I think about one of the central thesis of Joseph Weizenbaum a lot.
It’s essentially an extension of “there’s no technical solutions to social problems”; it posits that computers are widely used to immortalize and amplify social problems while preventing reforms.
And it has gotten much worse since he wrote about this in the 1970s.
Two of the examples he gives are nation/world-wide stock exchanges and automated trading (lead to wealth concentration and gambling), as well as highly complex but wasteful, punishing and unfair welfare systems (instead of e.g. UBI).

Who knows what’s next, but my expectation is for them to switch to things that are less visible, things that don’t look so bad on video. Maybe that means night raids? More likely, I’m guessing it means more rural action, targeting of remote job sites (e.g. farms), nabbing people from prisons, more activity in detention camps that disallow observers, that kind of thing.

Will THIS become the comet of the year if not decade? "6AC4721" doesn't even have a proper number or name but it is on a #Kreutz orbit that will bring it very close to the Sun in April - and was discovered already farther from the Sun than even Ikeya-Seki, whatever that means: https://www.facebook.com/groups/227002358661288/posts/1665380981490078/ and https://astronomynow.com/2026/01/16/potentially-bright-sungrazing-comet-discovered/ and https://x.com/JAtanackov/status/2012283238807482804 discuss the uncertain outcome of the adventure. In any case here is the comet last night: "Kreutz Comet 6AC4721 is currently brighter than expected,." write G. Rhemann and M.

Another #Brexit bonus. British-born dual citizen cannot enter the UK on their non-UK passport. Unlike foreigners they cannot travel to Britain on a visa or an ETA, but they must have a UK passport. Yet lapsed UK passports may not be renewed in case of name change, particularly for women (e.g. married vs. maiden name). It's a fine mess.
