![To see why seven is special, we first give an argument to establish Theorem 1 in the style of eighteenth-century analysis, where meaningless computations (e.g. manipulating divergent series as though they converged absolutely and uniformly) somehow gave correct results. This argument begins with […] Solving this quadratic equation for T, we find T = 1/2 ± i√3/2. (The reader who objects that this is nonsense has not truly entered into the eighteenth-century spirit.) These complex numbers are primitive sixth roots of unity, so we have T^6 = 1 and T^7 = T. And this is why seven-tuples of trees can be coded as single trees.
Although this computation is nonsense, it at least has the psychological effect of suggesting that something like Theorem 1 has a better chance of being true for seven than for five or two. To improve the effect from psychological to mathematical, we attempt to remove the nonsense while keeping the essence of the computation.](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HU79D3wbEAAR7YQ.jpg?name=orig)

ALT First page of a paper in the ACM two-column template, titled "Novel Methods of Research Funding in Computer Science." The top-right figure is a banner ad for the McDonald's Quarter Pounder® Deluxe, with a photograph of the burger over a red background. Abstract: "Computer scientists traditionally fund their research through grants from public and private organizations. Yet writing grant proposals is time-consuming and burdensome, often requiring the investigator to bootstrap the initial work using existing funds. To combat this problem, we propose a nontraditional approach to funding computer science research by monetizing surplus pages in conference submissions. Our work draws inspiration from techniques in affiliate marketing, product placement, and YouTube influencing. In a case study, we demonstrate how monetizing surplus pages in a conference submission can encourage brevity of expression while producing additional revenue for the authors."
ALT Second page of the paper template, with filler copy. At the top of the page, spanning both columns, is a large banner advertising the 2019 Volkswagen Jetta Flash Sale, captioned: "It's all about you. Driver personalization can remember your favorite settings for things like music and lighting. App-Connect and VW Car-Net® Hotspot allow your passengers to use their favorite apps. And LED headlights and taillights make sure you get noticed."
ALT Third page of the paper. In the top left is a single-column figure, a GEICO ad featuring the insurance mascot gecko holding an American football. The ad itself reads, "Tell us you're a Kappa Sigma Borther and you could get a special discount on car insurance." Caption: "Simply go online or call 1-800-368-2734, to complete a simple, no-obligation rate quote. Don’t forget to mention your Kappa Sigma membership to see how much you could save. As an added bonus, every time a Kappa Sigma brother completes a unique quote for auto insurance, GEICO gives back to the Fraternity. Many Kappa Sigma members are insured with GEICO already. By obtaining a quote, you will not only be doing yourself a favor, but you will be supporting the Fraternity as well. Make the decision to save more and get a quote today!" In the bottom-right corner, a T-Mobile ad says "WE'LL PAY YOUR FAMILY'S TERMINATION FEES WHEN YOU TRADE IN YOUR DEVICES. SWITCH TODAY"
ALT The fourth page of the paper is occupied entirely by one of those full-page "TOP DOCTORS IN AMERICA" advertisements, proclaiming how "Each doctor has been peer-nominated and selected by the nation's leading providers of information on top doctors." A professional-looking man named Sanjay Ghosh, MD stands facing the camera, glasses in hand, wearing a suit and a diagonally-striped tie with purple hues.

glowcoil: data Dog = Dog String Int
glowcoil: oh so this is what a dog is
glowcoil: i've been wondering for so long
slim: i wonder if this works for birds too
lexi, in reply to glowcoil: it’s obvious really
lexi: haskell is so beautiful
slim: wait sorry I just realized that the int is a *level*
slim: dogs have levels
slim: and if their level is > 100 they are the famous infinitive "To Clever"
