We’re proud and incredibly excited to announce reMarkable 2. A paper tablet that redefines note-taking, reading, and reviewing documents…

I wear black turtlenecks. Black panties. My lunch—mustard. Straight from the packet. No one sits next to me. Keep working my skills.

Group of symmetries of a regular polygon. di-hedral in that you have to consider both rotations and reflections ⇒ if we’re considering _n_ sides, there are _2n_ members of the group. One for each possible rotation, reflection of said rotation, and identity.

Two diametrically opposed perspectives of the world. And both were both true.

how venture capital, in its essence, is a call option and how that explains the odd ways startups sometimes behave. I’d write about, in my most financially-ambitious piece, how the maniacal focus on the upside is why companies build their technologies as generally throw-away, how people constantly change jobs after 2-3 years, and other such things. ​ But one of the reasons I had moved to the U.S. more than 15 years ago was [...] a sense of sanity. A place to not just live, but breathe.

As a team of only seven people operating solely off revenue and not VC funding, we are judicious about what we prioritize and focus on. Now, our priorities have been changed for us, and our new focus is clear: We must build an excellent, online-only version of RC.

Pay attention up to the point where it’s useful, then stop. And please, please, please don’t stop making art. Especially weird shit. We need you right now more than ever.

I’ve committed to donating at least 20% of Buttondown’s profits to the software that enables it. This is a relatively low number in absolute terms—I'm certainly not changing anyone’s life—but I think it’s still important.

I worry that the closer the world gets to our fingertips, the further it gets from our hearts. It’s not an either/or—being “anti-technology” is perhaps the only thing more foolish than being unquestioningly “pro-technology”—but a question of balance that our lives hang upon.

I’m a better teacher when I focus on what students experience first, and my actions as a teacher second.

It is one thing to be sick. It is another not to know your chances of getting well. Americans who have had the virus share their experiences.

I spent last week relatively offline in Mexico, which became an interesting experiment in how the internet shapes perception: During the vacation, alarm about coronavirus in the United States escalated, but I didn’t really know because nothing in my offline environment reflected that sentiment. Since returning to the US and resuming my normal internet intake, it feels like my panic instinct missed a formative period in its development. As of now, I’m still less concerned about coronavirus than others seem to be, and while I feel a vague need, if not a civic duty, to step my worry up, I’m mainly just thankful to care less about something than I’m supposed to, for once. Regardless of how I feel, though, the coronavirus discourse is providing an interesting lesson in how these two different layers of reality can handle certain information so differently, and either amplify or suppress it: Usually the internet seems to overamplify things, but right now it seems to be properly amplifying something (although there’s nothing to check that against).

What I’m missing is the identity of an academic. An academic is an intellectual, a truth-seeker and truth-teller, a lifelong learner. Whereas I only do those things, if I feel like it. An identity gives you permission to do all the above. External permission, such as being allowed in a laboratory if that’s where your interests are pursued. But it’s also about allowing yourself to engage in intellectual pursuits. Or even: being afraid that without the external pressure of people expecting (predicting) novel intellectual output from you, you would not create any.

A celebration of minor, automatic graciousness within a community, which can shine a penetrating light.

Mochizuki had created so many new mathematical tools and brought together so many disparate strands of mathematics that his paper was populated with vocabulary that nobody could understand. It was totally novel, and totally mystifying. “You don’t get to say you’ve proved something if you haven’t explained it,” she says. “A proof is a social construct. If the community doesn’t understand it, you haven’t done your job.”

[Continuations generalize] the asynchronous value concept. If we plug in `R = Void` then we just get an [asynchronous] value, but if we use a non-`Void` `R` value[,] we will get a type that kind of mixes together aspects of synchronous computation and asynchronous computation
