reality meets eccentricity
When Setting up Stalwart v0.16.x as a Docker container behind a reverse proxy, I ran head-first into one its security features, Autoban. Because every connection to Stalwart goes through Docker, everything seems to come from a single IP address, which at some point will trigger Autoban and add the Docker bridge to the blocklist and [ ]
The reason is simple, since no one seems to know what actually means, and there are other symbols available that cause much less (i.e. no) confusion, it is time to retire the notion of a natural number. Let me explain. Everyone in mathematics seems to have their own opinion on whether 0 is a natural [ ]
The problem So imagine you are being entertained by a TV show set in medieval times, or a world with a medieval level technology (for instance, Netflix s The Witcher) and suddenly you notice that while the characters hairstyles might look appropriate given the apparent level of technology, their hair is clean and immaculately conditioned, even [ ]
Category theory has revolutionized mathematics, first as a tool in algebraic topology and since then as an extremely successful unifying language for most, if not all, of mathematics (well, sort of, if we disregard analysis, which we will). The success of category theory underlines that mathematics is not about mere arithmetic, it is about structure, [ ]
In this post I will describe how to set up VSCode to use a Docker container to run TeXLive and how to set up a folder template to quickly setup documents in the future. Prerequisites In this post I will assume that you are running Linux and that your template folder is called latex_template. What [ ]
Who this is for This is meant as a collection of suggestions for anyone wanting to write a book on advanced mathematics, and wants to minimize the confusion of their readers and make their learning experience less stressful, less confusing and hence more effective from the perspective of the student. Make new terms easy to [ ]
Most people doing mathematics at university won t be strangers to writing on blackboards with chalk. However, the experience can vary a great deal. It can range from feeling like scratching a sharp rock on a rough surface, accompanied by screeching sound. And writing is often just barely legible. Needless to say, this can be rather [ ]
Even if you are not developing developing software, the Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) version control system (VCS) Git, can be of much use for students. Features like branches and tags can make your life easier and save you time and grief. For coursework For each course you take, create a folder and initialize [ ]
