@divbyzero Dave, this looks a lot like change ringing - is this an application of this maths that you've seen before?

The IMO is the hardest high school Math test. A lesser known sibling, the IOL (International Olympiad for Linguistics), starts tomorrow!

Students are asked to translate lesser-known languages purely using logic. 5 problems, 6hrs.

The problems seem absolutely impossible.

@oscilllator @GBruhaug People are working on shrinking accelerators (such as with laser wakefield acceleration), but I think you're always going to need 10s of meters of undulators to get high brightness

@jimmyrayreid @SwannMarcus89 British libel law puts the burden of proof on the defendant i.e. if I publish something defamatory about you, I need to prove it's true to defend myself in a libel case, whereas in the US (and many other places), you would need to prove it's false

@excitedstate Also, more surprisingly (at least to me), Japanese: 月曜日, or 'moon' - 'day of the week '- 'day'

@mcnees I think he had a habit of badmouthing Lewis Strauss in his later years

@CHofferCBus Pretty sure sharing details about v1.1 is breaking the NDA. Also it hindered online play when the DM had to track down and murder someone mid-session

@scrollforinit Thanks for the interesting read! I do think you need to consider *Revivify* in the context of *Gentle Repose*, which can also be cast by wizards (or from a scroll), and gives the party time to get the body back to town and scrounge up some diamonds

@wesbarton @_backpackback @TheAdamSass This is just a great opportunity to steal some more ideas from classic British TV shows https://t.co/1u9Ndccpqj

@mikemorrison Do you have stats on how many people actually watch them after the conference is over? The impression I get, at least in my field, is that this is more aspirational than actual...

[Nick Hartley @HartleyNJ]

@scrollforinit I'm impressed - how does this go to the right place, but have 2022 in the tweet!?
