An open letter to the greater queer community, haphazardly but passionately written by R.T.

“But the open letter won’t do anything”
It’s really showing that a lot of you never did any organizing or political work.
The open letter is open so that _people in the community see it_, not because we don’t know how to address a letter to DHH or the Rails Core team personally.
Aka it shows people that they’re not alone in their criticism and opinion about DHH and the inaction of the core team.

The Register commenters FTW again 🙂

Just made the PR to sign @…'s open letter for a community fork from #Rails, to get away from fascist DHH.
I'm not really using Rails any longer, so I don't know that my voice carries any weight here. But, for 14 years we ran openSNP on Rails, providing the world with an open data/science resource. And the rise of the far-right authoritarianism played a big role in the decision to shut it down (see #ruby

Quantifying Emergent Behaviors in Agent-Based Models using Mean Information Gain
Emergent behaviors are a defining feature of complex systems, yet their quantitative characterization remains an open challenge, as traditional classifications rely mainly on visual inspection of spatio-temporal patterns. In this Letter, we propose using the Mean Information Gain (MIG) as a metric to quantify emergence in Agent-Based Models. The MIG is a conditional entropy-based metric that quantifies the lack of information about other elements in a structure given certain known properties. W…

Could you spare a minute for the world's forests? I've signed an open letter to Ed Miliband ahead of the UN climate talks in the Amazon.

Counterfactual quantum measurements
Counterfactual reasoning plays a crucial role in exploring hypothetical scenarios, by comparing some consequent under conditions identical except as results from a differing antecedent. David Lewis' well-known analysis evaluates counterfactuals using a hierarchy of desiderata. These were, however, built upon a deterministic classical framework, and whether it could be generalized to indeterministic quantum theory has been an open question. In this Letter, we propose a formalism for quantum coun…

A group of former national park superintendents is calling on the Trump administration to close the parks to visitors in case of a government shutdown.
Past shutdowns in which parks remained open led to vandalism of iconic symbols, destroyed wildlife habitat and endangered visitors,
40 former superintendents said in a letter to Interior Secretary Doug Burgum.
A shutdown now could be even worse as parks are already under strain from a 24% reduction in staff and severe budget…
