“The circus has left the town square, that’s for sure,” said Brian Reisinger, a former Republican strategist in Wisconsin.
On Tuesday, voters in Wisconsin will choose another justice to join the State Supreme Court.
Except this election has arrived with little of the fanfare that Wisconsin voters have come to expect from these court races:
the national frenzy, a cameo from a tech billionaire, incessant television ads, partisan debates and a deluge of campaign cash.

“History is a bill we keep dodging. The North won the Civil War, the South won the memory. Reconstruction was left for dead, white terror became law, and Jim Crow swaggered in through the breach. That was a political decision to walk away before the work was finished, to protect comfort over Black lives. America pays interest on cowardice, generation after generation, and the bill never shrinks.”

OK, I have a horrible bug in `read`, which seems to be looping on the first character after a left parenthesis -- and I can't see why. But I got only four hours sleep last night and I am not taking enough care of my body, so it's time to stop work for the day, have a bath, and rest.

This is insane. I read few days ago how Dawa Sherpa was left behind on Everest. He was considered dead and nobody was sent to rescue him because the mountain had been closed already (late in season).

So, decided to get them rookie `/queue` numbers up so did a quick bit of caching. For a 12-job queue, I went from 240 RPS (Python/Flask) to 680 (Golang/Gin) then to 3400 RPS with some proper caching. The `/workers` endpoint would benefit as well, but I think its performant enough though I may end up adding a bit of caching later.

Every now and then I have one of those days where I discover all of these marvellous people on the Fedi and they're nearby (in some sense, whether physical or by interests) and they've been here for a couple of years and I don't know them. It's delightful! It's way more delightful than when there were only a few thousand people!
I do feel sad when I look at all the amazing folks who were here but left. I hope they all come back.

Each year, about 400,000 international students are granted study visas to the UK. A significant proportion do so with the help of education agents: middlemen paid by universities to find foreign students. In 2023, UK universities spent a total of £500m on education agents - but there is very little oversight of how these agents operate.

Decent overview of why people will say "Britain's infrastructure is state owned, just not by the British state".
There's so much anger over the energy situation in the UK, and the right wing press has, to some extent, managed to channel it into resentment against "green policies" rather than economic policy.

A Complete Characterization of Finite-Order Entire Solutions to Fermat-Type Partial Differential-Difference Systems in $\mathbb{C}^n$
Sujoy Majumder, Jhilik Banerjee, Abhijit Banerjee
https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.05240 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2606.05240 https://arxiv.org/html/2606.05240
arXiv:2606.05240v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: The primary objective of this paper is to determine the explicit existence form and structure of finite-order entire solutions in $\mathbb{C}^n$ of the following system of Fermat-type partial differential-difference equations: \[\begin{cases} \left(\frac{\partial f_1\left(z\right)}{\partial z_1}\right)^{n_1} (f_2 \left(z c\right)-f_1(z) )^{m_1}= 1,
\medskip \left(\frac{\partial f_2\left(z\right)}{\partial z_1}\right)^{n_2} (f_1 \left(z c \right)-f_2(z) )^{m_2}= 1, \end{cases}\]
for different choices of the positive integers $n_1$, $n_2$, $m_1$, and $m_2$, where $c=(c_1,c_2,\ldots,c_n)$. We characterize the precise structure of finite-order transcendental entire solutions and extend the results of Xu et al. \cite{XLL1} from the setting of $\mathbb{C}^2$ to the more general space $\mathbb{C}^m$. In addition, several examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness and sharpness of the main results.

Given the ease with which many of Trump's false statements are debunked,
I think it's unlikely that he aims to deceive anyone.
No one really believes that Trump has stopped eight wars, defeated inflation, brought gasoline prices below US$2, cut a deal with the CEO of Sharpie or has 100% approval for his military incursion in Iran – all things he has said.
As he is not attempting to deceive, Trump isn't lying when he makes such claims. Rather, he is doing someth…
