Pretty clear this was rushed: there are no comments from external mathematicians, unlike the Erdős announcement:

50th Anniversary Of '|'
Apparently today is the 50th anniversary of using '|' for connecting shell pipelines. It was introduced in v4 of the Thompson shell, whose manpage is dated 1973-04-18 [1]. Previously the syntax for 'a | b' was `a >b>` [2].[1]: https://www.in-ulm.de/~mascheck/bourne/v4/ [2]: https://www.in-ulm.de/~mascheck/bourne/v3/

"[L]ook at those folds!" I'm looking at the folds, and they got worse.
And take the cover of the Lorsch Gospels: the misshapen fingers, the bulging eyes, the blank expressions -- this is crude, not stylized. You get the sense that art is devolving back to the "archaic smile".

Yeah, i had the same reaction. For example, meson couldn't find pybind11 until i added `pybind11-config --cmakedir` to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH.

In the last few days Ontario has found 2 cases of Covid-19 in people who recently travelled to the US:

All the other cases we've seen were related to travel to Iran, Italy, Egypt, & China IIRC.
EDIT: one was a woman who returned from Colorado on Mar 2, the other a man who returned from Las Vegas on Feb 28.

Re:Toronto area sent nuclear alerts by mistake
on Sunday January 12, 2020 @02:02PM (#22028351)
I wonder how many people are killed per alert?
These alerts (usually AMBER alerts) are sent to millions of people, accompanied by a loud and startling siren.
You can imagine all sorts of "one-in-a-million" events. The surgeon woken in the middle of the night, who can't get back to sleep and makes a mistake the next day. The startled roofer falling off a ladder. Etc.
