U.S. President Donald Trump has a long and well-documented history of launching
incendiary rhetorical attacks against the press and his political opponents.
But rights groups warn that the president’s anti-free speech crusade reached an alarming and dangerous new level this week,
raising grave concerns about the potentially rippling consequences for reporters and freedom of expression more generally.

Exclusive: WSJ launches new opinion offshoot "Free Expression"
The new section is meant to expand WSJ's opinion coverage to a broader audience.

I recently researched the etymology of two interesting German words:
- "nonchalant" (informal, relaxed, casual, carefree, easy-going): I found that interesting because it's obviously a negation and I never read the non-negated form "chalant". Turns out that the non-negated form goes back to latin "calēre" (warm, to be hot, to be alarmed, to be fired up)
- "verschollen" (lost, missing, nothing has been known about the whereabouts of sth. or sb. for a long time). I found it weird because I couldn't make any sense of "schollen". This might be related to "verschallen" (stop making noise) and might go back to old high German "skellan" (which is also related to German "Schelle", a small bell). So, "verschollen" can be seen as a euphemistic expression because stop making noise is used to refer to being lost (and maybe dead).

Let's Take Esoteric Programming Languages Seriously
Esoteric programming languages are challenging to learn, but their unusual features and constraints may serve to improve programming ability. From languages designed to be intentionally obtuse (e.g. INTERCAL) to others targeting artistic expression (e.g. Piet) or exploring the nature of computation (e.g. Fractan), there is rich variety in the realm of esoteric programming languages. This essay examines the counterintuitive appeal of esoteric languages and seeks to analyse reasons for this popul…

There's a word at the beginning and end of Dawn of Everything that feels self-referential right now: Kairos.
> We began this book with a quote which refers to the Greek notion of kairos as one of those occasional moments in a society’s history when its frames of reference undergo a shift – a metamorphosis of the fundamental principles and symbols, when the lines between myth and history, science and magic become blurred – and, therefore, real change is possible. Philosophers sometimes like to speak of ‘the Event’ – a political revolution, a scientific discovery, an artistic masterpiece – that is, a breakthrough which reveals aspects of reality that had previously been unimaginable but, once seen, can never be unseen. If so, kairos is the kind of time in which Events are prone to happen.
> Societies around the world appear to be cascading towards such a point. This is particularly true of those which, since the First World War, have been in the habit of calling themselves ‘Western’. On the one hand, fundamental breakthroughs in the physical sciences, or even artistic expression, no longer seem to occur with anything like the regularity people came to expect in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Yet at the same time, our scientific means of understanding the past, not just our species’ past but that of our planet, has been advancing with dizzying speed. Scientists in 2020 are not (as readers of mid-twentieth-century science fiction might have hoped) encountering alien civilizations in distant star systems; but they are encountering radically different forms of society under their own feet, some forgotten and newly rediscovered, others more familiar, but now understood in entirely new ways.
Reading this as I write something very inspired by this work feels especially serendipitous, especially at this time. When they wrote the book, I think that kairos felt more serendipitous itself. But as the frequency of opportunity increases, the veil between realities feels more malleable... that perhaps we can poke a finger through and open a portal to a completely different future than the one we've felt locked into for such a long time.

General expression for the energy and the equation of state for polycrystalline solids
On the basis of the extended classical elasticity theory, we propose universal semi-empirical analytical expressions for the energy and the equation of state for poly-crystalline solids. The validation of the relations has been made by means of first principle density functional theory simulations with the use of pseudo-potential approach and generalized gradient approximation for the exchange-correlation energy. The calculations performed for a large number of inorganic crystalline compounds w…

Note on Kaniadakis Holographic Dark Energy
It is well-known that any modification to the entropy expression not only change the energy density of the holographic dark energy, but also modifies the cosmological field equations through thermodynamics-gravity correspondence. Here we revisit the Kaniadakis holographic dark energy (KHDE) in the background of the modified Kaniadakis cosmology by incorporating the effects of Kaniadakis entropy into the Friedmann equations. We choose the Hubble radius, $L=H^{-1}$, as system's IR cutoff and dete…

Non-uniqueness of the steady state for run-and-tumble particles with a double-well interaction potential
We study $N$ run-and-tumble particles (RTPs) in one dimension interacting via a double-well potential $W(r)=-k_0 \, r^2/2+g \, r^4/4$, which is repulsive at short interparticle distance $r$ and attractive at large distance. At large time, the system forms a bound state where the density of particles has a finite support. We focus on the determination of the total density of particles in the stationary state $ρ_s(x)$, in the limit $N\to+\infty$. We obtain an explicit expression for $ρ_s(x)$ as…

Committing to the bit: Relational programming with semiring arrays and SAT solving
We propose semiringKanren, a relational programming language where each relation expression denotes a semiring array. We formalize a type system that restricts the arrays to finite size. We then define a semantics that is parameterized by the semiring that the arrays draw their elements from. We compile semiringKanren types to bitstring representations. For the Boolean semiring, this compilation enables us to use an SAT solver to run semiringKanren programs efficiently. We compare the performan…

In this paper, we study advanced persistent threats (APT) with an insider who has different preferences. To address the uncertainty of the insider's preference, we propose the BG-FlipIn: a Bayesian game framework for FlipIt-insider models with an investigation on malicious, inadvertent, or corrupt insiders. We calculate the closed-form Bayesian Nash Equilibrium expression and further obtain three edge cases with deterministic insiders corresponding to their Nash Equilibrium expressions. On this…

Grand thermodynamic potential in a two-band unconventional superconductor
In a two-band system, both conventional sign-preserving $s_{++}$ and unconventional sign-changing $s_{\pm}$ superconducting state may appear at low temperatures. Moreover, they may transform from one to another due to the impurity scattering. To study the details of such a transition here we derive the expression for the Grand thermodynamic potential $Ω$ for a two-band model with nonmagnetic impurities considered in a $\mathcal{T}$-matrix approximation. For the iron-based materials within the …

Then we analyze chan…

Two-Stage Trigonometric Regression for Modeling Circadian Rhythms
Gene expression levels, hormone secretion, and internal body temperature each oscillate over an approximately 24-hour cycle, or display circadian rhythms. Many circadian biology studies have investigated how these rhythms vary across cohorts, uncovering associations between atypical rhythms and diseases such as cancer, metabolic syndrome, and sleep disorders. A challenge in analyzing circadian biology data is that the oscillation peak and trough times for a phenomenon differ across individuals.…
