$p$-adic hypoerbolicity for Shimura varieties and period images
We prove that Shimura varieties and geometric period images satisfy a $p$-adic extension property for large enough primes $p$. More precisely, let $\mathsf{D}^{\times}\subset \mathsf{D}$ denote the inclusion of the closed punctured unit disc in the closed unit disc. Let $X$ be either a Shimura variety or a geometric period image with torsion-free level structure. Let $F$ be a discretely valued $p$-adic field containing the number field of definition of $X$, where $p$ is a large enough prime. Th…

From Code to Concept: Evaluating Multiple Coordinated Views in Introductory Programming
Novice programmers often struggle to understand how code executes and to form the abstract mental models necessary for effective problem-solving, challenges that are amplified in large, diverse introductory courses where students' backgrounds, language proficiencies, and prior experiences vary widely. This study examines whether interactive, multi-representational visualizations, combining synchronized code views, memory diagrams, and conceptual analogies, can help manage cognitive load and fos…

Threatened attacks on synagogues in Alabama and surrounding states were thwarted when Jeremy Wayne Shoemaker, 33, was arrested with a suitcase full of ammunition, body armor and other items, officials said Tuesday.
The arrest comes as antisemitic sentiment and attacks have surged globally.
A car ramming and stabbing attack outside a synagogue left two dead in Manchester, England, earlier this month,
less than two weeks after a late-night fire was set at a synagogue in Florid…

Man arrested with body armor and a suitcase filled with ammunition after threatening multiple synagogues, officials say
In the latest antisemitic incident to rock a community, threatened attacks on synagogues in Alabama and surrounding states were thwarted when a person was arrested with a suitcase full of ammunition, body armor and other items, officials said Tuesday.

I demand a law that forces people who say using somebody's chosen name is too hard, to exclusively refer to the late Queen singer as Farrokh Bulsara, and to the late Thin White Duke as David Robert Jones.

Für Leute mit WLAN, Cloud-Aversion und App-Abneigung wie mich, lässt sich da tatsächlich etwas feines finden. Ich mag es eben datenschutzfreundliche.
