I was expecting diagrams of a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_system

(There are so many plant metaphors in mathematics!)

Indeed, you can find my calculus videos at https://www.youtube.com/kisonecat

But maybe for a coding audience https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVtlD22Y8SQ is more entertaining.

As the author of TikZJax, I can certainly apologize for not making more progress on this.

I need to get back to this project! I'd very much like to clean up the build process.

Author of TikZJax here...

I'm endlessly distracted by other things at work, but I believe this same idea could also be used to provide real-time compilation of TeX'd documents as they're typed. Simon Rubinstein-Salzedo had suggested wanting something like a real-time Overleaf to teach his classes at https://eulercircle.com/ Interrupting and resurrecting the TeX-in-the-browser would let you render a document as it is typed.

Resurrecting this workflow was one of the funniest things in implementing TikZJax.

Matt Klaber?! If so, great to run into you!

I mean, I'm guessing from "klabetron"... Unfortunately I don't think my "kisonecat" gives much clue to "Fowler".

As a 40-something year old person who used ratpoison more than 21 years ago... Yeah, I feel super old now.

AG maybe isn't so connected to software, but HoTT connects to the "functional programming" crowd. https://youtu.be/MVtlD22Y8SQ is me doing some examples.

I wouldn't say I'm organized, but org-mode is the only tool I've ever really used to keep track of what I am doing. I've been using org-mode for >= 15 years.

This document was hugely influential to me. It got me interested in linguistics (one of the "immaterial sciences" alongside math, comp sci). My username includes "kisone" which is from the conlang I made as a kid. It is wonderful to see it again and I hope folks still enjoy it!

I'm terrified of opening a paren andforgetting to close it! How terrifying to find a tagged paren that cannot be closed!

"please accept from me this unpretentious bouquet of early-blooming" <plaintext>s

I'm a college prof in the US and know that term.

I suspect the author uses a qwerty keyboard.

He has made me extremely enthusiastic for heat pumps.

I don't feel like I've gotten fewer spam calls.

My favorite spam call was someone wanting to make a cash offer on the Ohio State University building that my office is in.

Being born in 1981, the mid-2000s feel very weird to me too -- partly being in grad school in that time (and so somewhat isolated from the broader world) and yeah the rise of cell phones.

I tried moving to Wayland and hyprland last year, but I couldn't get Zoom to handle screen sharing (specifically window sharing). I wonder if this has improved at all?

The HN community might be interested in the XML-based tech used to produce this book, namely https://pretextbook.org/

Totally evokes the good memories I have of "Google Wave" as a way for folks to collaborate on rich documents. Super cool.

That Apple ad feels more like an Advernado ad -- "We can solve any problem that you think up, and find any purchase that you require, the... iPad... is a full solution..." crushing everything.

Many communities offer a "math circle" which also builds some mathematical community. Some can be found on https://mathcircles.org/

I like the word "maritimity"!

For in-person summer math experiences, there is https://rossprogram.org/ among other math camps many of which are listed at https://summermathprograms.org/

Ross provides significant need-based financial aid (which can cover all fees for the six-week program).

Evokes the "isolinear chips" from Star Trek!

I wrote https://github.com/kisonecat/tikzjax for running tikz in the browser with webassembly, but I have work to do to make it work better.

https://lamington.wordpress.com/2011/12/02/laying-train-trac... is a blog post from the geometer Danny Calegari about this topic.

I often use this example when teaching calculus: https://youtu.be/BjmypdFCl-Q

Your experience is just like the "Carousel of Progress" at Disneyworld!

I like the use of the term "dyad".

It has a "Windows" key on the keyboard?
