What is the best explanation you’ve heard for 1 not being a prime number? For me it’s “because it breaks everything in my programs since the loops won’t terminate” but that’s obtuse. “Because the God of math decrees it so!” is compelling, but shallow.

“it can only be divided by 1 distinct number” is contrived.

1 “feels” prime— it has the fewest factors. (Primeness being about NOT having factors) ruling it out for having too few? eh.

“it’s the zero of multiplication” is better… thoughts?

@futurebird my understanding is that a lot of definitions would have to refer to “primes other than one” and it just saves time to kick one out. unique prime factorizations being the most important. so it is very related to being the zero of multiplication!

Apple’s journaling app! (If I’m trapped in a “walled garden” might as well check out the plants.) The app uses location, photo and other data to suggest events to journal about— The photos help jog memory & make writing less daunting.

I hope that more apps make use of the api — although wouldn’t it be nice if it were an open “event” protocol instead? (and if one could export journals to, tumblr)

I think this app could really help many people I know with memory and organization issues.

@futurebird I wish that open source had a better track record here
