I'm trying to get back to basics. Each day before work, I want to:
- eat breakfast
- toilet dogs
- feed dogs
- toilet dogs a second time
- get caught up on Mastodon
- get caught up on Pixelfed
- do Spanish lessons in Duolingo
It's hard to get to the bottom of that list.

On realisations of the Steenrod algebras
The Steenrod algebra can not be realised as an enveloping of any Lie superalgebra. We list several problems that suggest a need to modify the definition of the enveloping algebra, for example, to get rid of certain strange deformations which we qualify as an artefact of the inadequate definition of the enveloping algebra in positive characteristic. P. Deligne appended our paper with his comments, hints and open problems.

Changed up the anime list on new website version a bit.
- Before: Server yeeted 1 big HTML file with the entire list (~24kB in size).
- After: Server yeets 1 smaller HTML file (~4kB) and client will then later request the anime list itself.
So client can get working on the main HTML which now neatly fits in 1 little packet rather than being split across 2 (assuming MTU of 1500 bytes).

@… Are you sure you’re actually following that group? I get approvals and I don’t see yours in the list.

Day 17 (oops; a bit early): Angie Thomas
Can hardly believe it's taken me this long to get to Thomas, and I haven't even read "The Hate You Give" which is probably her most popular book. I did read "Concrete Rose" and was duly blown away by her craft: the use of vernacular, the love she has for the community she writes about, the honesty with which she grapples with the bleak details of the setting, and her stubborn and inescapable portrayal of a human being where our society has taught us to see only perpetrators and victims. CW for family member death and gun violence that I can think of; it's not light reading.
As the parent of two children, Thomas' descriptions of baby care ring true, and drew me into the book more than any other factor, and her vision of a positive masculinity among so much pain is breathtaking. "Concrete Rose" is a brilliant novel, and Thomas richly deserves a spot on this list.

Our property tax bill arrives with a detailed list of each and every component of the total due.
Would it be nice if for our Federal taxes that we could get a detailed list that precisely shows how much each part goes, in reality, to each of the various appropriations made by Congress.
That would certainly show us how much of the FFOTUS spending consists of money stolen by FFOTUS and spent in defiance of Congressional appropriations.

True.
OTOH: The same is true for TB, flu, measles, and a slate of other potentially severe diseases floating around.
#Covid is not a qualitatively new threat, it's the latest in a long line of pathogens that we have become accustomed to just living with. For a long time measles left the list, but it is now back and it is at least as harmful as Covid.

Q&A with Grindr CEO George Arison on developing AI-powered features like Wingman and A-List, Grindr's new telehealth service Woodwork, his RTO mandate, and more (J. Edward Moreno/Sherwood News)

Grindr built a wildly successful dating app. Will its push into AI finally get Wall Street's attention?
George Arison, who joined Grindr in 2022, says the company is leaning hard into AI and building “a half dozen or so” other businesses that are tangential to Grindr.

One of my favorite types of Mastodon post is when someone posts a list of useful stuff, and then, as people comment or they get new information, they keep adding more info until it’s a juggernaut of useful stuff.

Day 11: Bee Johnson
As promised, back to printed books, and since I hadn't yet done any authors of picture or board books, here's one. It looks like Johnson is primarily an illustrator and has only written a single kids' book, but it's a magnificent one: "What Can A Mess Make?"
Naturally, the illustrations are rich and evocative, but it's also got one of my favorite formats (just a few lines per page, with consistent meter and rhymes throughout) and has the incredibly charming theme of two sisters who are constantly making messes, except it highlights the fun (and other emotions) they get out of their messy play, reminding parents cleaning up messes that there's a benefit to letting your kids make the mess in the first place, which is an idea that's stuck with me as I clean up my own kids' messes. This book checks *all* of my boxes for a good picture book (which is kinda hard).

P.S. at this point, I think I've exhausted the range of "author" definitions I wanted to include in my list, and I've now got the unenviable task of balancing between genres and trying to hit some of my favorite authors before we get to 20. We'll see how that goes...

These projects (staircase, Murphy bed, closet organizers, and eavestrough) will also use up most of our contingency funds we gained from our downsizing earlier this year.

Watching the movie "G20" which came out a few months ago. The plot involves Bitcoin maxis taking world leaders hostage in order to take voice samples and deepfake social media videos to destabilise currencies (world leaders being notoriously difficult to get voice samples of).
Anyway, when the bad guy uploads the faked videos to social media (Instagram, VK, Facebook) you see that the list doesn't include Twitter/X, but does include Orkut - a network that was switched off …

Seems to me Coke should put pages of a certain file and list on their bottles, just print them on there. It would really get the information to the people.

Day 7: Brenda Romero
I hinted yesterday I'd be moving beyond a narrow definition of "author," so of course that means I'm going to include game designers. I'll definitely get back to some more traditional authors before I hit 20, but I wanted to mix things up early.
Brenda Romero is something of a celebrity in the niche culture that is the Game Developers Coherence, I like to imagine. Of course the misogyny there likely means many just pay attention to who her husband is, but she's a terrific designer in her own right, if not prolific.
Content warning: the Holocaust
To me her most outstanding game has always been "Train," which is an exhibition tabletop game in which players collaborate to load and unload cargo and move train cars around a board, with the stated objective of efficiently delivering cargo to meet certain collective goals. However, through both physical cues and in-game reveals, it becomes clear to players that the game they are playing stimulates the Holocaust, and the cargo they're moving is people being brought to extermination camps. The actual goal of the game is for the players to stop playing and walk away, or perhaps to play against the stated objective and gridlock the trains. Romero supervised play at the expos where it was presented, and intervened to stop the game if the players continued too far (in some cases not picking up on the hints offered because they had very little knowledge of the Holocaust as a historical event). I've never played the game myself; just heard Romero give a report about it, but the sheer genius of designing a game meant not to be played to help educate about a system within which defying the rules was the only ethical action earned her instant respect from me. Romero has a whole series of games in this vein about didn't historical events (not necessarily all designed to not be played), although last I checked in most are just at prototyping stages.
I've got other non-man game designers that will appear on this list, but Romero stood out to go first because she's a good example that you don't need to be someone prolific or widely-known to do great work; I'd bet most people have an author or two they respect who is not widely known (and I'll include at least one more from that category on this list).

Enumeration of Cayley graphs over a nonabelian group of order $8p$
Bei Ye, Xiaogang Liu, Jing Wang
https://arxiv.org/abs/2508.17035 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2…

Enumeration of Cayley graphs over a nonabelian group of order $8p$
Let $T_{8p} = \left\langle a,b\mid a^{2p}=b^8=e,a^p=b^4,b^{-1}ab=a^{-1} \right\rangle$ be a nonabelian group of order $8p$, where $p$ is an odd prime number. In this paper, we give the formula to calculate the number of Cayley graphs over $T_{8p}$ up to isomorphism by using the Pólya Enumeration Theorem. Moreover, we get the formula to calculate the number of connected Cayley graphs over $T_{8p}$ by deleting the disconnected graphs. By applying the results, we list the exact number of (connect…

According to the TidBITS article “A Roundup of Vertical Tab Support in Mac Web Browsers” <https://tidbits.com/2023/06/05/a-roundup-of-vertical-tab-support-in-mac-web-browsers/>, Safari supports vertical tabs since version 16.
I did not know it!
I don’t seem to be able to get the Safari vertical tabs to work though.
I can see the list of tabs in the Sidebar.
I also have the tabs displays horizontally at the top of the window (in both Separate or Compact mode).
I was expecting no tabs at the top when using vertical tabs. Is that not what you’d expect when thinking about vertical tabs?

Day 5: Robin Wall Kimmerer
I'm taking these liberty of changing my hashtag and expanding the intent of this list to include all non-men, although Kimerer is a woman so I'll get to more gender diversity later... I've also started planning this out more and realized that I may continue a bit beyond 20...
In any case, Robin Wall Kimmerer is an Indigenous academic biologist and excellent non-fiction author whose work touches on Potawotomi philosophy, colonialism (including in academic spaces), and ideas for a better future. Anyone interested in ecology, conservation, or decolonization in North America will probably be impressed by her work and the rich connections she weaves between academic ecology and Indigenous knowledge offer a critical opportunity to expand your understanding of the world if like me you were raised deeply enmeshed in "Western" scientific tradition. I suppose a little background in skepticism helped prepare me to respect her writing, but I don't think that's essential.
I've only read "Braiding Sweetgrass," but "Gathering Moss" and her more recent "The Serviceberry" are high on my to-read list, despite my predilection for fiction. Kimmerer incorporates a backbone of fascinating anecdotes into "Braiding Sweetgrass" that makes it surprisingly easy reading for a work that's philosophical at its core. She also pulls off an impressive braided organization to the whole thing, weaving together disparate knowledges in a way that lets you see both their contradictions and their connections.
The one criticism I've seen of her work is that it's not sufficiently connected to other Indigenous philosophers & writers, and that it's perhaps too comfortable of a read for colonizers, and that seems valid to me, even though (perhaps because I am a colonizer) I still find her book important.
An excellent author in any case, and one doing concrete ideological work towards a better world.

Day 6: Kamome Shirahama
Before I wander much father afield, I'd be remiss not to include at least one Mangaka (I've got 8 on my planning list; if you think Manga is pushing it just wait until you see what the next few days have in store).
I'm currently following "Witch Hat Atelier," and it's absolutely amazing in several dimensions: first class world-building, deep philosophical themes, nuanced diverse cast, tightly-constructed interwoven plots, deep mysteries that keep everything churning and show up in unexpected places, absolutely stellar art both in terms of in-panel depictions and page layouts (some are Watchmen-quality), especially if you are sartorially inclined, and general kindness of its core messages. This is a series I wish every programmer would read, because it includes excellent advice about software design in multiple ways (did I mention there's an intricate and logical magic system within which the main character innovates in legible-to-the-reader-as-innovation ways?). Also, I bet I would have enjoyed this just a much as a 10-year-old as I'm enjoying it in my 30's, which is something that takes well-honed skill to pull off.
Shirahama is a master of her craft, and I'm honestly kinda surprised to see Witch Hat is only her second series. Definitely thinking how I can get my hands on her earlier work in English.

Good Morning #Canada
Summer may be over, at least emotionally, but there's lots of nice weather as we enter Fall Fair season in Canada. Canada has incredible agricultural potential in every province - and maybe we need a series of posts on that - and fall is when rural communities celebrate the harvest with demonstrations and competitions. But city folk are invited and encouraged to visit your local event and get acquainted with plowing matches, the price of a new tractor, cattle judging, and who has the biggest watermelons. Here's a small list of some of the most prominent Fall Fairs out of the hundreds that take place annually.
BTW - In my only plant submission to one of these festivals (Erin Fall Fair), I got 3rd place for the tallest sunflower. Rookie mistake, I cut my plant at ground level, and it was 11.5 feet high. The winners ahead of me dug out the roots and submitted the entire plant. I was robbed!
