She came close! But today wasn’t the day. Still 6.93 seconds away. ā€œI’ve proven that it’s possible, it’s only a matter of time. If it’s not me it will be somebody else — one day a woman will run under four.ā€ -Kipyegon

As you know, it’s not specially made for dissertations, the templates and some of the terms make that obvious. But if you think of the diss as a book, I think Scrivner fits well. And I liked how visual the architecture of my chapters and drafts was on the side bar.
comment in response to post
I ended up with Scrivner by the end of the process and I think I liked it the most of everything else I tried. I liked how it let me organize chapters, sections, etc. I found its organization system intuitive.

ā€œrazed in 1812ā€ makes me think it’s lost because of the war, but I didn’t think Philadelphia was involved in that.

I know this question risks being rather rude, but I’m compelled to ask, why does this exist?

My suggestion: hydrate regularly and minimize time in full sun. Current prediction is 34 🄵

It’s a really well designed Python package by Mike Kestemont and Folgert Karsdorp. The repo of the package we used for the technique is here: github.com/mikekestemon...

(2) Then Lucence Ing walked us through how to train a multilingual BERT model to segment Medieval texts into semantic phrases. In particular, she showed us how to segments texts in different languages of the same work, and then to use another model to align them. github.com/ProMeText/mu... 3/3

(1) Elisabeth de Bruijn, Mike Kestemont, and Katarzyna Kapitan presented their tool for predicting the total amount of literary works (romances) in a Medieval society, including works whose manuscripts didn’t survive, using ecologists’ ā€œunseen speciesā€ method. github.com/KAKDH/Unseen... 2/3

He does it!!! Alcaraz šŸ‡ŖšŸ‡ø He wins it! From so far behind, he did it!
comment in response to post
He does it! Wins the second game of the fifth set!
comment in response to post
Ahhhhh! Alcaraz! I’m afraid of posting anymore. So… go, go, go!
comment in response to post
What just sucks but is also great about tennis is that Sinner has been amazing. There were reasons to expect Alcaraz to prevail. But Sinner šŸ‡®šŸ‡¹ has been stronger, more consistent, and just more focused than his opponent.
comment in response to post
This sucks. ā˜¹ļø I believe in Carlos, still. Let’s go!
comment in response to post
”Vamos, Carlos! This is the turn around!
comment in response to post
Ah! If Alcaraz holds his next 2 serves this set, he’ll win it.* šŸ‡ŖšŸ‡ø *win the set… still a long way to go 😬
comment in response to post
McEnroe with a good point: This is sinner’s 3rd tournament since his 3-month suspension (for doping). So the longer this drags on, the more tiring it will be. And maybe Sinner isn’t conditioned for this? Maybe Alcaraz can find the advantage?
comment in response to post
Is this the turn? Alcaraz takes the lead for the first time since the first set.
comment in response to post
My Spanish isn’t good enough to know what he’s saying to his team box. Carlos is rattled. I watched him crush at the Olympics in this very arena last summer. He’s better than this. He’s in his head today. Of all days!
comment in response to post
Ugh…. Alcaraz loses another set… He’s gotta turn this around. Win this set or lose the tournament. 😬
comment in response to post
He does it!!!!!!
comment in response to post
Alcaraz breaks Sinner’s serve on his first break point since the 5th game of the 1st set. The Spaniard stays alive in the 2nd set! If he holds his serve, he’ll stand a chance to win the set šŸŽ‰
comment in response to post
What makes this final so difficult is that neither player has ever lost a final at this big a tournament. So after today, one of them will no longer be able to say that, and the other gets to be the best in the world tomorrow.
comment in response to post
Can I at least add that Alcaraz’s shirt looks good? He wins best dressed. And he wins the set!!
comment in response to post
McEnroe, with his brutal honesty. ā€œThese guys are 1, 2 seeds for a reason, but… I don’t think either guy’s served that great yet, to be honest. Clearly Alcaraz doesn’t think he has. Sinner’s a *little* better, but, for the match, he’s about 50%, slightly above it. So he’s not exactly killing it.ā€
comment in response to post
Sinner šŸ‡®šŸ‡¹ found his serve. This has taken a turn.
comment in response to post
Alcaraz šŸ‡ŖšŸ‡ø isn’t in the right head space ā˜¹ļø He’s gotta turn it around
comment in response to post
Having McEnroe comment this on Max is the *best*. [slo-mo replay] ā€œHe’s playing it there. Then you see the ball kick to his left. That’s a good look at what he needs to *avoid* doing.ā€ - classic McEnroe šŸ”„

Curious (slash, out of the loop?), what are you porting your Sibelius scores over to?
comment in response to post
Could you imagine ā€œThe Karate Kidā€ with this attitude? It was hard enough for Miyagi in the 1980s, though his methods were ultimately spectacularly vindicated in the arena. For a teacher of the humanities today, the pushback can be far more tedious and the vindication less showy.
