Mission sub 3:10 accomplished. Technically even with a negative split (by 12s). my.raceresult.com/376548/detai...

Oh no, reddit is ignoring the redesign opt-out again. Give me old.reddit.com or give me death.

Apparently some of these may not have a multiplicative inverse.

Dear cyclists, your lights are set too high. You're blinding everyone.

Someone at Strava turned up the "toxic positivity" dial of their weird AI-commentary up too far. Now all its comments sound mocking and sarcastic.

We were fired by our accountant because apparently Cedarcrypt and my Lebanon course are money laundering operations: www.linkedin.com/posts/nadimk...

The skin on the tip of my right thumb started peeling a bit, which, long story short, caused me to lose access to my bank account. The future really is now.

Apparently our dishwasher is into Olympic weightlifting.

The difference in meaning of the word "ledig" in Norwegian and German remains a source of great amusement to me.

There comes a day in your life when you understand – rationally – that your parents will eventually die and that you'll likely be around to see it. But nothing about that prepares you for the day it happens. Bye mom, you were the best.

Silly Brits. How on earth is "half twelve" 12:30 instead of 11:30? Where would I file a complaint about this silliness?

My kids keep singing a song about the fact that the train doesn't have any brakes¹ and I seem to be the only one concerned about this serious lapse in railway safety. ___ ¹There's apparently a kids version, not to worry.

Now that's highly suspicious. 🤔

For a country absolutely filled with roundabouts, the average British driver seems to be surprisingly bad at using them.

Brits: German crisps are boring, the only flavour is paprika. Also Brits: The available crisps flavours are salted, lightly salted, sea salt, as well as salt and 10 different kinds of vinegar

This conversation chart seems to have surprisingly major implications for mathematics.

I'm looking for a job! I'm an experienced researcher in cryptography. My focus is on the transition to post-quantum cryptographic protocols and protocols related to blockains. If that sounds like someone you might want to hire or you know someone who might, let's talk!

Does anyone have a connection to Randall Munroe (@xkcd.com) or any way to reach his company? I’m writing a book and wanted to license some of his cartoons but can’t get a response from his licensing or press emails.

They have strong opinions on open source licenses here.

My time at RUB is coming to an end and I'm looking for an industry position. Primarily looking for remote or Rhine-Ruhr area positions, but will consider any exceptional offers. So if you're looking to hire a cryptographer to work on cryptographic protocols, or related areas, maybe we should talk!

And off we go. Why do I always take the early morning flight? 😴

Announcing the preliminary program for Cedarcrypt — our inaugural applied cryptography summer school and conference, July 13–16, 2026 at the American University of Beirut - Mediterraneo in Paphos, Cyprus! An absolutely fantastic program awaits — check it out, register today, and share widely!

It's so cute.

Trying to imagine the sad life of the person who felt the need to inform me that I'm not allowed to play *with* my kids on the playground, because the sign says it's only for persons under the age of 15.

I can't see the election changing anyone's mind. Trump didn't vote himself into office twice, or force congress to sit back and do nothing while he waged an illegal war that explicitly violates the constitutional limits placed on his power. The US doesn't have a Trump problem, it has a US problem.

Sturm UND drang? In dieser Wirtschaftslage?

German news may have just figured out the super secret business model of oil companies.

Can't wait for the announcement of the inaugural FIFAbel prize recipient.

.@nadim.computer is looking for an intern: symbolic.software/blog/2026-03...

I'm so sorry you're all going to have to go through this. 😟

Note: this drop in attendance was attributed to two main factors. (1) The impact of drastic cuts to science and research funding in the United States (2) The fact that many non-US researchers don't feel safe visiting The first sucks. The second disqualifies the US from ANY future consideration.

Maybe I should reconsider my career in cake decorating. 🤔

My physio: You should stop if something causes pain. Also my physio: Does this hurt? Good, then we're hitting the right spot.

Azerbaijan could do something very funny right now.
