Why couldn't you say it now?

I had the idea young people are having less sex than the generations before.

Do you have a link to the post about Boole?

IIRC they can't be sold as "milk" inside the EU, they're usually called some variation of "beverage" or "drink". The only product that can be labelled as "milk" has to be produced, as you said, by mammals.

hypeibole | 7 years ago | on: Extracting Super Mario Bros levels with Python

I am not by any means an SMW expert but lately I've developed a keen interest on the SMW romhack scene.

If what you want to do is extract a level and/or play around with level creation the golden standard tool is Lunar Magic [0].

There are some forums with information about rom hacking, level creation, music creation and so on for SMW, like SMWCentral [1].

hypeibole | 7 years ago | on: Mathematician-M.D. claims to have solved the 110-year-old Lindelöf hypothesis

I actually believe the intent is the opposite.

I think the PR people are just trying to sell Fokas as a polymath genius. "Look, he is not only a mathematician but also an MD, wow!"

Does anyone have references to books about this topic?

I'd be interested in reading about it.

For complex numbers it usually means the modulus of z is larger than zero.

I've seen a lot of them in Spain and I can confirm those are absolutely terrible

Isn't that mostly what happened? US pushing science and education during the Cold War to compete against the USSR?

I'm replying (I hope) just in time to wish you luck with your talk, which seemed to me, as a mathematician, incredibly interesting.

Also I'd like to wish you luck with your endeavors!

For other people confused about the meaning of BP in this context, it means Benjamin Pierce Fellow.

It appears this talk was given in the context of the Benjamin Pierce Centennial Conference:

Thanks

I don't understand this and I do follow US politics. What mortgage?

You've piqued my interest.

Would you mind explaining it in a few words?

hypeibole | 12 years ago | on: How to write a great research paper [pdf]

The link he gives at the end, Advice on research and writing, is dead.

I believe the updated link would be http://http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~mleone/how-to.html

hypeibole | 13 years ago | on: Warsow 1.0 Released

Hi, fellow CPM fan here.

Just in case your preference for Warsow is solely based on the lack of promode in QL, I'm really glad to tell you that there is promode now in QL, and there's been for a couple of months now. Granted, it's a premium feature and so on but there are some public promode servers (user-spawned), specially CA and CTF, and I've been having a lot of fun there.
