I wrote a blog post about the often stated but never explained assumption that communities in graphs should always be connected.
This “connected cluster axiom” is inconsistent with statistical significance and null models that underlie the most widely employed methods […]

I've been porting some code from C++17 to C++23. Many nice improvements in the language!
A side note: Clang is so much worse than GCC in almost everything, from compilation times, runtime performance, to C++23 coverage... Staggering!
GCC alone is a good reason to dump MacOS for GNU/Linux […]
