France’s largest rewilding project
Founder’s Briefs: An occasional series where Mongabay founder Rhett Ayers Butler shares analysis, perspectives and story summaries. He has spent much of his life in the shadow of the Dauphiné Alps in southeastern France, where limestone cliffs catch the morning light and the silhouettes of horned ibex move across the ridgelines.

The Complexity of Arc-Connectedness Relation in the Plane
In this paper, we show that the arc-connectedness equivalence relation on a Polish subspace of the real plane is an essentially hyperfinite Borel equivalence relation. This result provides the optimal upper bound for such a Borel equivalence relation.

Network representing relationships between gangs, obtained from Montreal Police’s central intelligence database, spanning 2004 to 2007. Nodes are gangs, and an edge represents some kind of relationship between two gangs (as elicited from interviews with gang members).
This network has 35 nodes and 78 edges.

"Technical communities provide software businesses with an audience, a test bed, and eventually, a customer pool for their products and services, but this only works if the products are good enough to begin with. This insight was clearly defined by Guy Kawasaki, arguably the person who invented the field of Developer Relations, during his tenure as Chief Evangelist at Apple from 1983 to 1987."

There is a website out there providing an answer to the question "What is Developer Relations?," a question that this author, whose job title is precisely that one, gets a lot. According to this resource, Developer Relations is an umbrella term encompassing three major areas of activity: "Community," "Content," and "Product;" a perfect description of a job role, at least as far as this author is concerned.

On a discrete version of the position-momentum commutation relation
The usual position-momentum commutation relation plays a fundamental role in the mathematical description of continuous-variable quantum systems. In the case of a qudit described by a Hilbert space of a high enough dimension, there exists a discrete version of the position-momentum commutation relation approximately satisfied by a large part of the pure quantum states. Our purpose is to explore in more details the set of these states. We show that it contains a family of discrete-variable Gauss…

“It bears repeating that President Zelenskyy agreed to a Christmas truce,
but Putin declined,
yet he directs soldiers to continue to commit brutal crimes of aggression on one of Christianity’s holiest days.
“Even for countries at war, there is a long history of Christmas ceasefires, including notably during World War I.
Today’s decision by Putin to launch attacks rather than hold fire is a sobering reminder for us all:
Putin is a ruthless murderer who has no inte…
