After Rumi The Mevlevis and Their World by Jamal J. Ellas

After Rumi The Mevlevis and Their World by A preeminent scholar of Islamic history chronicles the rise of the Mevlevis, the influential Sufi community founded by Rumi.

The thirteenth-century Persian poet and scholar Rumi is revered to this day. However, less attention has been paid to the Sufi community he founded: the Mevlevis, sometimes called the “Whirling Dervishes.”





The thirteenth-century Persian poet and scholar Rumi is revered to this day. However, less attention has been paid to the Sufi community he founded: the Mevlevis, sometimes called the “Whirling Dervishes.” Centered on the descendants of Rumi and the disciples of his thought, the Mevlevis flourished in Anatolia during a period of extraordinary political, religious, and linguistic change. By the seventeenth century, they had become the recognizable bearers of Rumi’s tradition across the Ottoman world.

Jamal J. Elias argues that the Mevlevis are best understood as a community rooted in kinship and emotional affinity, anchored by multiple generations of partnership between Rumi’s descendants, known as Chelebis, and scholars devoted to his works. These collaborations shaped the religious, artistic, and social priorities of the Mevlevis, while also establishing the status of both Rumi and the Persian language in Ottoman society.

transiensは「他動詞的」という意味。スピノザの神に(人格神とは違って)他動詞(能動態)はない。

이재명 대통령은 역대 어느 대통령보다 특이한 성장 과정과 이력을 가진 대통령입니다. 남들은 중고등학교에 다닐 때 소년공이었습니다. 공장에서는 상습 폭력에 노출됐고 산업재해로 장애인이 됐습니다. 삶이 너무 힘들어서 두 차례나 극단적 선택을 시도한 일도 있습니다. 검정고시로 대학에 진학한 뒤 사법시험에 합격해 변호사가 됐지만, 시민운동을 하면서 기득권 세력과 치열하게 싸웠습니다. 평생 이렇게 산 사람에게 점잖은 말과 태도를 기대하기는 어렵습니다. — 오. 저게 소위 “막산이” 까고 “도련님” 찾는 사람 멘탈리티인가.

‘일잘러’ 이 대통령의 거친 표현…노무현의 후회로부터 ...

Albert Einstein The Poetry Of Real by Manuel Garcia Iglesias, 2019

A father offered his son, a five-year-old Albert Einstein, a compass that triggered an irrepressible need to understand the laws of the universe and an iconic scientific career. At first a simple employee of the Swiss Patent Office in Bern, the young Einstein published a series of scientific articles that questioned everything previously understood in the world of physics.




His theory, summed up by the formula E = mc2, opened to humanity the doors of the power of the atom. A legendary genius, but also a great humanist, Einstein lived through the first half of the 20th century, with all its horrors and contradictions, in the service of science, but distraught by what man's madness is capable of doing with it.

Anna's Archive backed up Spotify. They got 99.9% of metadata, and 300TB of music representing 86 million tracks - original 160kbps OGG for tracks with popularity>0, and re-encoded 75kbps for popularity=0. absolutely wild project.

the metadata in particular is a hugely useful data source. MusicBrainz catalogues 5 million unique ISRCs (like ISBNs but for music releases), whereas this archive has a whopping 186 million.

the UNIX v4 tape reminded me of this story by Ali Akurgal about Turkish bureaucracy:

Do you know what the unit of software is? A meter! Do you know why? In 1992, we did our first software export at Netaş. We wrote the software, pressed a button, and via the satellite dish on the roof, at the incredible speed of 128 kb/s, we sent it to England. We sent the invoice by postal mail. $2M arrived at the bank. 3-4 months passed, and tax inspectors came. They said, “You sent an invoice for $2M?” “Yes,” we said. “This money has been paid?” they asked. “Yes,” we said. “But there is no goods export; this is fictitious export,” they said! So we took the tax inspectors to R&D and sat them in front of a computer. “Would you press this ‘Enter’ key?” we asked. One of them pressed it, then asked, “What happened?” “You just made a $300k export, and we’ll send its invoice too, and that will be paid as well,” we said. The man felt terrible because he had become an accomplice! Then we explained how software is written, what a satellite connection is, and how much this is worth. They said, “We understand, but there has to be a physical goods export; that’s what the regulations require.” So we said: “Let’s record this software onto tape (there were no CDs back then—nor cassettes; we used ½-inch tapes) and send that.” Happy to have found a solution, they said, “Okay, record it and send it.” The software filled two reels, which were handed to a customs broker, who took them to customs and started the export procedure. The customs officer processed things and at one point asked, “Where are the trucks?” The broker said, “There are no trucks—this is all there is,” and pointed to the tape reels on the desk. The customs officer said, “These two envelopes can’t be worth $2M; I can’t process this.” We went to court, an expert committee examined whether the two reels were worth $2M. Fortunately, they ruled that they were, and we were saved from the charge of fictitious export. The same broker took the same two reels to the same customs officer, with the court ruling, and restarted the procedure. However, during the process, the unit price, quantity, and total price of the exported goods had to be entered—as per the regulations. To avoid dragging things out further, they looked at the envelope, saw that it contained tape, estimated how many meters of tape there are on one reel, and concluded that we had exported 1k to 2k meters of software. So the unit of software became the meter.

Report: Israel is laying the groundwork for a permanent presence in most of Gaza.

Since the so-called "ceasefire", Israel has built 13 new military outposts inside Gaza.

“Israel is doing what it always does... establish ‘facts on the ground,’ incrementally & then permanently when opposition disappears.

"Israel is in no rush & [is] prepared to play the long game."

I read somewhere the other day that for most of the world the experience of the Roman Empire’s collapse was that there were a bunch of strange stories and then a few decades later the local bridge collapsed and nobody who knew how to fix it showed up to fix it.
