Techie Wordplay: “Lynx”

Filed under: General — Tags: , , , — m759 @ 2:38 pm

On the  Lynx  web browser

"As of 2022, it is the oldest web browser still being maintained,,,,"

"The speed benefits of text-only browsing are most apparent
when using low bandwidth internet connections, or older computer
hardware that may be slow to render image-heavy content."
— Wikipedia [“Older” link added.]

And then there is . . .

See as well the LYNX of Oslo artist Josefine Lyche.

Update of June 30, 2022 —

Lyche, whose art often incorporates mathematical notions,
has not yet, as far as I know, explored the Borromean  link
(three rings, linked mutually but not pairwise) in her art.

Remarks by a different math fan, Evelyn Lamb

"I have had a thing for the Borromean rings for years now.
There’s something so poetic about them. The three rings
are strong together, but they fall apart if any one of them
is removed. Alternatively, the three rings are trapped together
until one of them leaves and sets the others free. I’m kind of
surprised there isn’t a Wisława Szymborska poem or 
Tom Stoppard play that explores the metaphorical possibilities
in the Borromean rings." — Scientific American , Sept. 30, 2016.

See also the Lamb date Sept. 30, 2016, as well as work 
by Lyche, in Log24 posts tagged Star Cube.

Pythagorean Selfie

“Rarely is a TV show as brilliant and as terrible as Selfie .”

A recent selfie from Josefine Lyche’s Instagram page:

For some remarks related to Lyche’s pentagram, see
Lyche + Mathmagic* and also yesterday’s Michaelmas Mystery.

In today’s previous post, the late Harvey Cohn posed a question that
he said might have been asked by Pythagoras:

“It is an elementary observation that an integral right triangle
has an even area. Suppose the hypotenuse is prime.

Q.  How do we determine from the prime value of the hypotenuse
when the area is divisible by 4, 8, 16, or any higher power of 2?

A.  We use class fields constructed by means of transcendental
functions, of course!”

by Harvey Cohn (Cambridge University Press, 1985)

Footnote of 12:14 AM Oct. 1, 2014 —

* That search yields a link to…

This Lyche webpage’s pentagram  indicates an interest in Disney rather than
in SatanismOther Lyche webpages have been less reassuring.
