Looked interesting, but it was sooo long.

That's ...

It's only 7 pages. People often exaggerate such things online.

I think he didn't

someone please tell me that "open set" has the topological meaning here

I was just considering this - is the topology on sexually explicit nouns the discrete topology, or indiscrete?

Need to put this in Jenkins to send an email based on commit messages.

If that's in a work environment, update your resume first.

I find "as the bishop said to the actress" to be a much classier version of "that's what she said", plus it can go both ways (as the actress said to the bishop...)

The title makes this a lot less interesting for our female readers, I'd guess. Please consider other people that don't share your humour when creating/sharing titles.

Meh.. In this case, I think it's not worth it. The paper is around that specific use case of the phrase.

Despite your concern, however valid, it did not deter the female author of the paper.

Honestly, anyone who is offended by the identification of this paper by a common related phrase, probably does not have a career in science or software that somebody didn't give them out of pity.
