Netz is dismissive of traditional scholarship in the field, but in some ways represents a step backwards with respect to that tradition. I argue against Netz's dismissal of many anec | |

Using his pioneering methods he proved, among many other things, a deep conjecture of John Milnor, that had been open for decades. Today I want to talk about, no, rant about, a... | |

In this case, the simplest solution to my problem would have been to have a global mutable variable. But no one likes those. | ||
