My turn: since @AgnesCallard already mentioned Middlemarch (I agree), I’ll say that I never understood the appeal of The Great Gatsby. I’m not saying it’s not a good book — the fault is likely mine. I should probably try it again What classic don’t you “get”? (Serious question.)

Ok I guess I should do my part: this week I got about 200 pages into Middlemarch--which I was reading for the first time--and then quit, because I found it boring. Come at me, internet.

Came across this Churchill's memo on brevity while listening to The Splendid and The Vile audiobook. Everyone (esp academics and the admins) should read it.

We don't require functions to be strongly convex or differentiable and we study what happens if we use a dual method over a network where the processor's communication/computations are out of whack. I really like it. It took us a long time to make it readable.

I've often wondered whether a reason Canadian politics has been more moderate in the 21st c than UK, US, or Australian politics is that there are no Murdoch-owned media properties in Canada.

Just had a paper accepted in a mathematical journal with an email that says "Manuscript and tables can be in Word, WordPerfect, RTF, TXT, TeX.” 🤨Really? Do you know anyone who still writes mathematics in Word etc?

"It's just as easy or easier to keep COVID cases at zero as it is to keep cases at any other target number" Is this true or false? Why?

@MatMcGann Now what I explained above is just a toy example to explain an idea. Things are more complicated in general.

If you’re storming a parliament with people wearing “Camp Auschwitz” sweatshirts, you know what side you’re on... These are the faces of hatred and extremism.
