@highergeometer Indeed, among European languages Basque is well ahead of English in weirdness 🙂
my point was that such gross errors spoil the fun. E.g. imagine a maths seminar talk where the speaker casually says: "by the way, all the polynomial equations can be solved in radicals".

@highergeometer wonderfully Anglo-centric view, along the way, casually calling languages spoken natively by at least 20-30 million people in Europe virtually non-existent.

@bob @chris__martin Former Roman Empire is much smaller.
Europe goes all the way to Ural Mountains. Whereas romans haven't even made it across Rhine in the West of Germany. They also could not get Scotland or, of course, Scandinavia.

@argumatronic.bsky.social OTOH, a 12h day of toiling in an AWS, or Azure, or GCE (Google) cloud mine is good description of a day of a typical computer programmer or an engineer. Their salary or a contract pay is spent in a no small part in shops called Amazon, Whole Foods (owned by the owner of […]

@JessTheUnstill mean while our HR tells us (H1-B visa holders) to carry the passport, I-94, I-797, and a copy of the offer letter. In case of "travel".
Thus I presume even to beach - or run a danger of ICE scuba divers disappearing you in friendly Neptunia.

@frdl @grishka @osma you are certainly aware that certain books and gestures are banned in Germany, no? It's not a libertarian paradise.

@dimpase - you're right. I misunderstood Hironaka when he said "size":
"Question: What is the smallest size of an algebraic integer greater than one?"
Then he explained "size" a bit more:
"Since two algebraic integers are algebraically conjugate if they are roots of the same minimal […]

@johncarlosbaez hmm, there are algebraic integers with norm as close to 1 as you wish, e.g. a positive real root of \\(x^n-2=0\\) goes to 1 as \\(n\to\infty\\) right? Lehmer number has minimal norm in a much subtler settings,
