Numberphile’s coverage of The Four Color Map Theorem.
The Four Color Map Theorem (or colour!?) was a long-standing problem until it was cracked in 1976 using a "new" method... computers!

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.”
Brandon’s draft of “What We Talk About When We Talk About Composition”
[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
I think my limit for open-loop writing is about 14k words. For the book on temporality I’m working on now, I’ll probably serialize it online in some form before trying to put it together as a book. All in all, it was a wonderful outpouring of deep reserves of creativity and knowledge, the likes of which I haven’t seen online in a long time. Twitter is where all the history-making, universe-denting social media action really is. It is as close to a pure ideas-commons/digital public as we’ll ever get. Email today is now less a communications medium than a communications compile target.
(Did you know you could play video games in the morning before work? I certainly didn’t. But you can.) I still struggle with instinct, the motivation to do the most, the feeling that I’m not a good reader if I’m not cycling through new books every few days. I want to keep slowing down, and keep giving words the time they deserve.

US healthcare is a joke. Let's make it funny. Out of Pocket is a weekly comedic deep-dive and analysis into the rabbithole that is our healthcare system. Existing healthcare research is dry and boring, and raises questions like: Why are 75% of all healthcare conversations defining what a “digital therapeutic” is?
In Boozy Portland, Andy McMillan Wants to Open the City’s First Completely Non-Alcoholic Bar
In January, when McMillan announced his intention to open Suckerpunch, Portland’s first entirely zero-proof bar, the response was similarly overwhelming. Within days, hundreds of people signed up for the bar’s mailing list, and a preview event at Roseline Coffee in February sold out in advance.
The general term for any diagonal going top-left to bottom-right direction is 𝑘-diagonal where 𝑘 is an offset form the main diagonal. 𝑘 = 1 is the superdiagonal, 𝑘 = 0 is the main diagonal, and ��� = −1 is the subdiagonal. According to Mathworld, the general term for the antidiagonals seems to be skew-diagonals.
