We are blessed to have this practically in our back yard (3-4 miles away depending on which part we are visiting.)

@coreysnipes If I'm reading it right, just click on a scene to bring up the full version and it includes the code below it.

@coreysnipes It looks like the scenes are all generated with code, not just playing a sequence of frames? That's even more incredible and cool if my interpretation is right.

It's getting that time of year where I can barely get the dog walked around the block after work before it's getting dark. (Around the block is ~3 miles) #dogsofmastodon

I made a "Kung Fu" show reference today about "when you can snatch the pebble from my hand..." and a younger coworker said, "Oh, just like in the movie Kung Fu Panda". So ... I'm at least that old ...

Beyond traceability if features and functions forwards and backwards with a high level concept statement, can system engineering also trace back blame? Asking for a friend. :-)

The #MinnesotaStateFair: a quirky blend of just about everything imaginable. It started in 1859 and continues to be immensely popular here in Minnesota. It spans cultures, regions, ages, genders, religions, interests, styles, activities ... really and literally everything.

@Armadillosoft Without going too far down the rabbit hole, my company does the open seating thing, so you have to completely clear out of the work space at the end of every work day, but we are given lockers for personal stuff. My group has a bit of a special status since we work in a noisier […]

@Armadillosoft My desk at home is fine ... that is where my thermometer is right now. Maybe I was too ambiguous in my post? It's my work desk that doesn't want personal items. (Usually I work from the work office ... but it's saturday and drizzly so I'm catching up on computer stuffs.)

Yesterday I went to visit my old Philosophy Department, and I saw this poster on one of the professor's doors (bearing the title "Mathematical Logic and Foundations 1847-1947 and crediting Joel Friedman as its author), and I felt that I have to share it on […] [Original post on functional.cafe]

At the top, there's the inscription:

MATHEMATICAL LOGIC AND FOUNDATIONS 1847-1947

below is a diagram that resembles a two-headed creature.

The left head is captioned "DeMorgan", and it contains "DeMorgan's Laws (1847)" and "Logic of Relations (1859)"

The right head is "Boole" and it contaions "Laws of Boolean Algebra, 1847"

Between is a smaller circle captioned "Jevons" with "Logic Machine (1869)", and right below it - "mrs. Ladd-Franklin" with "Numerical test for validity of syllogism (c. 1880)"

Then at the level of chest there are Frege and Cantor with numerous contributions.

At the same level is left arm, with a Venn Diagram of Peirce, Venn and Schroeder. The right arm is Weierstrass. Then Frege is connected to Russell (at the level of pelvis) with a strip captioned "propositional logic", and Cantor is similarly connected to Hilbert with "predicate logic". In the middle of pelvis is Zermelo.

The left arm is extended to the fist captioned "Whitehead". The right arm consists of two long forearms captioned Peano and Dedekind, which reaches three fingers? - Brouwer, Lovenheim and Weyl.

Now from the pelvis there are monster's two legs: Post and Skolem, and there's a "Fraenkel" circle dangling between them. The left foot of the monster is Tarski, the right foot - Goedel, and between them is von Neumann. There's also Gentzen and Bernays placed between the 3 feet. There's also Lewis, Nicod, Wittgenstein, Likasiewicz, Schoenfinkel, Herbrand, Church, Turing and a few others
