In case you missed it: FLINT, Antic, Arb, Calcium and Generic-Rings have merged into a single project: what will be FLINT 3.x going forward. The 3.0 release will happen later this year; I'm currently working on debloating this 1 MLOC codebase. github.com/flintlib/flint2


My article "Arbitrary-precision computation of the gamma function" has been published in Maple Transactions! mapletransactions.org/index.php/mapl…


I have removed the links to Twitter on my website. See you all on that other social network instead!

LaTeXML 0.8.7 was just released! We're ready for #MathML Core. With gratitude to the wider community, who helped drive another productive year of extending our TeX interpretation fidelity and our LaTeX ecosystem coverage. Full release notes at: github.com/brucemiller/La…


There's currently a 7 month delay just to get the *appointment* for a national ID card or passport here. So much for free movement within Schengen 😡


Anyone interested in a full-time job doing FLINT development should get in touch. I don't have funding at the moment, but given a qualified candidate (skilled with computer algebra *and* C programming), there's a decent chance that funding can be found.

I finally launched CoWasm.org. It's kind of like @emscripten, but built using @ziglang, with first class support for both servers and browsers. The main package is @python 3.11, but there are lots of other fun #webassembly ports hidden inside...

Today is Bruno Buchberger's 80th birthday! There will be a conference at RISC next week, with a Zoom live stream: risc.jku.at/c/symbolic-com…

Accepting and rejecting papers is an archaic practice that is terrible for science. It strips peer review of its value & institutionalizes the practice of judging scientists based on where, rather than what, they publish. It's time for this system to go. elifesciences.org/articles/83889


dlmf.nist.gov/4.13 Finally, DLMF's section about the Lambert W-function has been updated. They now cover the complex branches, with the usual notation, plus the Wright ω and Tree T functions. @corless_rob


This post on HN news.ycombinator.com/item?id=331947… brings up a great point: backward compatibility is a way underrated PL feature.
