So, driven a desire to obtain the “unobtainable” and mostly by curiosity to see if it was possible, I set out to see if I could find public domain Krazy Kat Sunday comics in online newspaper archives. In short, I wrote some programs in Python that downloaded thumbnails from various newspaper archives, manually found about 100 Sunday comic strips from the thumbnails, used Microsoft’s Custom Vision service to train an image classifier to detect Krazy Kat comics in thumbnail images, used that classifier to find several hundred more thumbnails, then wrote some more code in Python to download high resolution images of all of the thumbnails that I found. After many hours of frustrating research, I was finally able to narrow determine that Krazy Kat Sunday comics are available from the following sources:

In the process of looking for Sunday comics, I was also able to find several newspapers in various archives that also have copies of the daily Krazy Kat comics.

The study describes how elevated levels of the preservative, propionic acid (PPA)–used to extend shelf life and reduce mold in packaged foods, breads and cheeses—can adversely affect the development and differentiation of neurons in fetal brains in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Previous studies have demonstrated increased levels of PPA, a short chain fatty acid (SCFA), in the feces of children with ASD; we also know that the gut microbiome in these children is also quite distinct in terms of the type of bacteria that inhabit their intestines. While prior studies have suggested the role of genetic factors and environmental influence in ASD, this study, according to the authors, is the first to note a molecular link from elevated levels of PPA, overproduction of glial cells, disruption of neural connections and autism.

With the previous Mac Pro model, released in 2013, Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook trumpeted plans to build it in the U.S. Apple invested $100 million in tooling and other equipment for a plant in Austin, Texas, run by contract manufacturer Flex Ltd. Last year, as his administration imposed tariffs on imports from China, Mr. Trump said the only way to ensure prices for Apple goods don’t increase would be to make products in the U.S.

Apple in the past two years has announced a second campus in Austin to handle customer support and operations, and reported more than $500 million in new contracts with U.S. component suppliers that manufacture at home. But Apple hasn’t disclosed any plans to build new manufacturing facilities in the U.S.

Making the new Mac Pro in China isn’t likely to affect many workers in Texas because demand for the old model fizzled years ago.

About three years back, I attempted to live entirely on the command line for 30 days—no graphical interface, no X Server, just a big-old terminal and me, for a month. It has a bit steeper requirements than many terminal applications, as it relies on Ruby, but it’s still lighter and faster than any graphical presentation program out there. What one would call a window manager in a graphical desktop, in terminals is called a terminal multiplexer—same idea, more or less.

In fact, a very large chunk of the book we call the Greek Anthology is nothing but epitaphs. Compare that with the TOC of the Greek Anthology:

1 Christian epigrams

2 Some guy’s description of certain statues

3 Inscriptions on some particular temple

4 Various prefaces to the collections that were raided to produce this one

5 Love and sex [*important]

6 Votive inscriptions

7 Epitaphs [*important]

8 The epigrams of “Gregory of Nazianzus” (whoever he was)

9 Figure-of-speech epigrams

10 Ethical ones

11 Funny ones, or ones on the theme “Let the good times roll”

12 Boy love [*important]

13 Metrical curiosities

14 Word games, riddles, prophesies

15 Miscellaneous

Also some versions have a sixteenth book of epigrams about paintings. The good epitaph poem requires neither corpse nor stone, and yet it requires something more than paper and poet.

The initial algorithm may run in a huge polynomial, but further improvements may yield practical algorithms. The result is due to Evangelos Markakis, Aranyak Mehta, and myself: it proves that every such game has a strategy that is an Nash solution, and it finds this solution in time at most

Note, this is clearly a galactic algorithm: even for modest approximations the exponent is huge, and the algorithm cannot be used. In any event, David Johnson famously once said,

Matrix Product: One of the most beautiful two results are the initial brilliant result of Volker Strassen on fast matrix product, and the subsequent deep work of Don Coppersmith and Shmuel Winograd on an even faster matrix product algorithm.

In 1938 Malina joined many of his Caltech (California Institute of Technology) scientific colleagues in the Communist party, when it was apparently less a pro-Russian revolutionary conspiracy than a liberal-socialist extension of President Roosevelt’s New Deal. Malina, in spite of political antagonism, collaborated with von Braun during the Cold War. The focus, of course, is on the crew of Apollo 11, Mike Collins, Buzz Aldrin and the commander, Neil Armstrong — the first man to set foot on the Moon, and so, as Whitehouse writes, ‘the most famous man on Earth’.

You’ve got the Ryzen 7 3700X and the Ryzen 9 3900X as well that come with eight and twelve cores, respectively. Both the single core as well as the multi-core scores are rather formidable. The multi-core score is a staggering 44,849 points which the CPU right next to the $2000 Intel Core i9-9980XE.

The most common numbers are age and body weight. The U.S. health-care system places tremendous value on the latter, in the form of body-mass index, or BMI, a simple ratio of weight over height. BMI also ignores the health problems among the “skinny fat” (or “overfat” or “normal-weight obese”).
