MEDIA RELEASE: Israel’s ongoing attacks on starving Gazans
“As Jews, we cannot watch Palestinians starved, concentrated into zones to be shot with impunity, and not remember our own history. The Australian government must urgently act.”

A nanoneedle patch enables painless, non-invasive collection of molecular data from tissues, offering a potential alternative to traditional biopsies for real-time disease monitoring and diagnosis.
Nanoneedle patch offers painless alternative to traditional cancer biopsies
A patch containing tens of millions of microscopic nanoneedles could soon replace traditional biopsies, scientists have found.

Our book is about building a compiler for a toy, compile-to-Wasm language.

At some point, we starting wondering…what's the smallest possible WebAssembly compiler? Could you make one that fits in tweet? 🤔

The answer is yes!

A WebAssembly compiler that fits in a tweet
Starting with a 192-byte one-liner that implements a Reverse Polish Notation arithmetic compiler, we'll work backward to transform it into readable JavaScript by removing one code golf trick at a time

I couldn't find any good games for my password manager. So I made one.

1Crossword connects to your 1Password vault and generates a crossword entirely out of your passwords!

The crosswords are fun, simple, and great for sharing on social media when you finish. Enjoy!

What does it mean for something to be Turing complete?

I answer this question, and more, through a series of fully interactive Turing machine simulations! Play, pause, step forwards and backwards, and even write your own Turing machine programs in my latest blog post.

When I first heard about quantum error correction I thought it was the most boring subject in the world. It turns out to be one of the most interesting subjects in the world. My judgment isn’t always that great. ⚛️

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at TAU and the University of Lisbon have developed a groundbreaking nano-vaccine against COVID-19, delivered via nasal spray WITHOUT requiring cold storage. Preclincial studies show the vaccine was effective against ALL major SARS-CoV-2 variants. Let’s talk about that! 🧪🧵⬇️

Poor man's audit log for Postgres tables. Pure SQL, no Elixir required.

Time-to-shelf: 1 minute.

Run the final part for each table you want to audit. Use Postico as the UI.

Claimed solution of the Moving Sofa Problem (rather, claiming proof that the 1992 conjectured solution is correct). This is not the most important math problem, but it is a Math Problem Non-Mathematicians Can Understand.

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish.

Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part.

Who’s with me?

Over on Twitter, Cantor's Paradise has posted a great article on Twin Primes. Interesting to see how the trajectories make a nice caustic as well. An obvious results of superimposing lines (rays), but I had never seen this before. www.cantorsparadise.com/the-twin-pri...

Are there infinitely many primes p such that p + 2 is prime?
