☆ The Rubik’s Cube Turns 50
  + stars: | 2024-07-01 | by ( Siobhan Roberts | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
A big math conference was underway and Dr. Rokicki, a retired programmer based in Palo Alto, Calif., had helped organize a two-day special session about “serious recreational mathematics” celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Rubik’s Cube. Dr. Rokicki instead recommends the old-fashioned strategy: Set out on a lone path and discover a solving method, even if it takes weeks or months. (It took the computer scientist Donald Knuth less than 12 hours, starting at his dining table in the evening and working straight through to the morning.) Mr. Rubik said that, yes, he indeed did corners-first. Mr. Rubik, who is known to take a philosophical approach to cubology and to life in general, added: “My method was understanding.”‘Cubitus magikia’

☆ The real reason so many remote workers are refusing to go back to the office: their dogs.

According to a survey by Digital.com, 75% of workers say they want to stay home with their pets instead of going into the office. Similarly, the ASPCA reports 90% of dogs adopted during the pandemic are still in the home. Pup owners surveyed by Veterinarians.org said their dogs inspired them to get out more and try new outdoor activities. Google, WeWork, Tripadvisor, Etsy, and even Ben & Jerry's also permit dogs in the office. In numerous surveys, workers have stressed the value they put on flexibility; many say it's even more important than money or advancement.
