RE: typesetting.
Wow.
I'm suddenly so sad that I was in Tokyo last month without knowing about the city's printing museum.

I'm so glad for the @archive.org 🥰
Screenshots in this thread from "Rendiconti. Accademia nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di scienze fisiche, matematiche e naturali".
Link: archive.org/details/rend... (1902) and archive.org/details/rend... (1895).

To think of how modern mathematical notation (sums, integrals, differentials, subscripts/superscipts, roots, trig, ...) had already been long-established – and typesettable! – by the time this 1895 bulletin was printed.
And look so similar to lecture notes from the computer era.

Literal "preprints", I believe to prove and set a date for a discovery?

We'd urge people not to panic - there will be lots of commentary coming out quickly that is likely to deliberately overstate the impact that this decision is going to have on all trans people's lives. We'll say more as soon as we're able to. Please look out for yourselves and each other today 💗🏳️⚧️

PS I'm no linguist and I don't pick a side on whether a tense is only a tense if it's morphological/inflected. I just happened to have read that page before.

See for instance Italian: "mangio" (I eat), "mangerò" (I will eat). Uses inflection (unlike English) just like simple past does (like English)

Is this an inflection versus construction kind of misunderstanding? English itself doesn't have a morphological marking (?) for the future tense, i.e. no inflection, but marks the tense using "will"... Is the same going on in Mandarin?

I mean, cern.ch was the first domain to be used for the WWW application, they can't be late adopters of @atproto.com 😛
(could the fact that organisations keep joining Bluesky using .bsky.social mean that the Sign Up page doesn't nudge effectively enough?)

Ciao! Hi there 😊 benarrivati!
Sappiate che per il vostro amministratore di sistema è facilissimo cambiare il vostro handle in "@sns.it".
Usare il proprio dominio web è, in bluesky, il modo dei marchi e delle istituzioni di verificare l'account. Fatelo!

welcome, and let me be the first smartass to mention this: you should get your @pypy.org handle, it's super easy 🙃
