Where did the i, j, k notation for indices begin?
My earliest clue is that it probably started when we started indexing our summations. Euler
used ∑ for sums, but he didn't use indices. Fourier in 1823 did use indices. Was there someone between Euler and Fourier who also used indices in their summations?

The #media is playing with fire again. What is this whole stuff about Trump winning the election against Biden if they were matched up again? I mean, on what basis would Trump win the election? OK, I get people are unhappy about inflation and such, but how would they expect Trump to fix any of it?

New blog post: harihareswara.net/posts/2023/s… Set Contributor Expectations To Reduce Ghosting
It's frustrating when a new #opensource contributor vanishes. You can reduce how frequently that happens:
* Understand why they ghost
* Articulate your vision
* Set expectations in the contributors' guide, & in auto-replies/boilerplate replies
* Prioritize quick first-level reviews
* Follow up with "resources if you're stuck" checkins
* Build safeguards against cookie-licking

I’ve been trying to get the word out about Mekong Review’s end-of-year subscription drive/promotion, and it’s tough. We have our newsletter, and I’m trying to do what I can with social media… Twitter used to be our most reliable platform but we’re not using it anymore (because, well).
Anyone who uses the promo code ENDOFYEAR2023 at mekongreview.com can get 20% off a year’s subscription to our quarterly literary magazine covering Asia.

Pues es un dato espectacular para el PSOE. En menos de un mes, y tras haber estado 5 años diciendo que esto era inadmisible de todo punto, ¡ya un 40% de la población española a favor de la amnistía!

A co, pojdes?
Ja, do krcmy?
Slovensky cernobily horor Piargy je na CSFD mylne otagovan jako historicke drama. Dozvite se jak to chodi na vesnicich, neco o cirkvi, neco o statkarich a v neposledni rade proc se nechodi hrat karty do krcmy ve stredu. Prevazne v obraze, moc se tam nemluvi.
Je to kratke a kvuli tomu trosku zkratkovite. Ale lepsi nez dlouhe a complexni. Na to bych nekoukal.
