Updated, simplified example, and fully commented now! New library releases later today... (Still checking what else might need to be done for updating the https://thi.ng/geom-axidraw package to support complex polygons and paths with holes/sub-paths... Adding support for these shape types has been quite…

Protect your info online folks and don't expect much from AirBnB if you get a fraudulent charge from them on your card!
I recently saw an AirBnB purchase on my credit card. I did not make it. $CAD466 for a reservation in London. I have never even had my CC connected to AirBNB and my account is secure. It was obviously made by someone who got my CC info.
I saw it a couple days after the transaction but it was still pending on my statement. So I called my bank (VanCity) and th…

PyGraft: Configurable Generation of Synthetic Schemas and Knowledge Graphs at Your Fingertips
Knowledge graphs (KGs) have emerged as a prominent data representation and management paradigm. Being usually underpinned by a schema (e.g., an ontology), KGs capture not only factual information but also contextual knowledge. In some tasks, a few KGs established themselves as standard benchmarks. However, recent works outline that relying on a limited collection of datasets is not sufficient to assess the generalization capability of an approach. In some data-sensitive fields such as education…

Chronometer on the bridge of the USS Intrepid, a Museum ship near 42nd St Manhattan. I checked out the Museum which I'd been eager to see for a long time because I appreciate museum ships (and it has a Space Shuttle!) the day after I went to an MLS game in New Jersey.

Reply to Antipov et al., Microsoft Quantum: "Comment on Hess et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 130, 207001 (2023)"
In this Reply we respond to the comment by Antipov et al. from Microsoft Quantum on Hess et al., PRL 130, 207001 (2023). Antipov et al. reported only a single simulation and claimed it did not pass the Microsoft Quantum topological gap protocol (TGP). They have provided no parameters or data for this simulation (despite request). Regardless, in this reply we demonstrate that the trivial bulk gap reopening mechanism outlined in Hess et al., in combination with trivial ZBPs, passes the TGP and th…

Chromium doesn't appear to have this, but everyone's aware that #Firefox includes a #PDF editor, right?

It's probably coloured with selfishness that the news of C. J. Sansom's death is so ill timed, ill timed for him cos he was only 71, which is no age, and the television version of his Shardlake series is about to drop.
His research was fastidious, not to say faddy, which is not a Bad Thing and he informed his world with it enriching the story, which was always strong in itself.
He made some leaping conclusions but they weren't outlandish.

Israel’s Brutality Is Increasing—and So Is Its Denialism
The atrocities at Al-Shifa Hospital are clear, but Israeli politicians say not a single civilian was killed. It’s just one of several outlandish claims Israel has made recently.
