Trump has changed what it means to be evangelical https://wapo.st/4c2GhIU (gift link) "The idea of evangelicals who don’t go to church was once unusual. Now, it is surprisingly common. In 2008, only 16 percent of evangelicals said they never or seldom attended church. By 2020, 27 percent did. Evangelicalism, in short, has become about shared political convictions. In one survey of Christian attitudes ... 43 percent of evangelicals said they did not believe in the divinity of Christ." 1/2

From @ToddBrock24f7: NFL.com named 5 WRs most likely to break Calvin Johnson’s record of 1,964 yards in a season. Inexplicably, CeeDee Lamb isn’t on the list.

I mentioned this on a Unix mail list, and Doug McIlroy replied.

I haven't seen anybody mentioning it or even noticing it, like it's just the water we swim in now, but this month marks the fiftieth anniversary of the release of what would become a seminal, and is arguably the single most important, piece of social software ever created. Written by Douglas McIlroy and James Hunt and released with the 5th Edition of Unix this month in 1974: diff. https://minnie.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=V5/usr/source/s1/diff1.c

5/ Zu Beginn der Tour habe ich erklärt, dass ich die Fahrtrichtung so ausgewählt habe, dass es immer bergab geht. Die meisten Teilnehmer*innen waren mir dafür sehr dankbar, aber einige behaupteten, dass das gar nicht ginge. Die entsprechenden Teilnehmer*innen waren allesamt Mathematiker*innen. Mich hat das, ehrlich gesagt, schockiert. Wo soll das alles enden, wenn diese jungen Menschen in ihren abstrakten Welten leben und jeglichen Bezug zur Realität verloren haben? Wieso wird heutzutage der Eschersche Satz von der Gleichmäßigkeit des Anstiegs auf bestimmten Flächen nicht mehr gelehrt? Mathematiker*innen spielen in allen gesellschaftlichen Bereichen ein wichtige Rolle. Man stelle sich vor ein solch realitätsfremder Mathematiker*in würde in Verkehrsplanungsbüros beschäftigt. Wenn der einfach irgendwo die Fahrtrichtung falsch festlegt, können enorme Schäden entstehen. Spätestens seit Jules Verne wissen nicht nur Fachleute, dass die Fahrtrichtung wichtig ist.
