Would Writing a New James Bond Novel be a Dream or Nightmare?

What author hasn’t dreamed of putting their own spin on a legendary franchise? For fans of James Bond, the idea of writing an official 007 novel feels like the ultimate honor—a chance to step into Ian Fleming’s iconic shoes and send Bond on a brand-new mission.

HiddenGemsBooks · Would Writing a New James Bond Novel be a Dream or Nightmare? - Hidden Gems Book BlogWhat would it really take to craft a James Bond story that honors the legacy while offering something truly original?

#Confession time...

I spent ten minutes wondering why I was having such trouble cutting a trace on one of my custom protoboard PCBs - was my knife too dull? Was there something wrong with the board I'm using? Is it connected somewhere that I'm forgetting about?

I looked at everything multiple times, probing and getting the BEEEEEP of the continuity mode on my meter.

And then realized the trace *was* successfully severed, it's just it was jumped by a resistor that was only 11 ohms, which is under the threshold my meter considers "continuous". 🙄

Continuity
An uber-geek friend passed 2 years ago. Just bumped in to his family and person that runs the business he left running. At home, an ailing MythTV system holds family memories hostage and at the business, they are still trying to figure out complex servers, VPN's and VM's. I'm going to donate a road trip and a few days soon. But as a geek culture, we need to leave our loved ones and businesses in better shape. #continuity #life

Deep in the heart of #crete where myth intertwines with natural wonder, stands the legendary olive tree of Vouves.
Olive trees have long been revered not only for their fruit and oil but also for the resilience encoded in their DNA. These trees symbolize #endurance #wisdom and #continuity In a landscape where nature’s secrets are often obscured by time, the olive tree of Vouves reminds us that #life can sometimes persist against all odds.

Motivation:

Let \(X\subseteq \mathbb{R}\) and \(Y\subseteq\mathbb{R}\) be arbitrary sets, where we define a function \(f:X\to Y\).

I want a measure of discontinuity which ranges from zero to positive infinity, where

• When the limit points of the graph of \(f\) is continuous almost everywhere, the measure is zero
• When the limit points of graph of \(f\) can be split into functions, where \(n\) of those functions are continuous almost everywhere, the measure is \(n-1\)
• When \(f\) is discrete, the measure is \(+\infty\)
• When \(f\) is "hyper-discontinuous" [1], the measure is \(+\infty\)
• When the graph of \(f\) is dense in the derived set of \(X\times Y\), the measure is \(+\infty\)
• When the measure of discontinuity is between zero and infinity, the more "disconnected" the graph of \(f\), the higher the measure of discontinuity.

Question 1: How do we fix the criteria in the motivation, so they are consistent with eachother?

Question 2: Is there a measure of discontinuity which gives what I want?

Attempt: I tried to answer [2] this using a previous question, but according to users it's needlessly complicated and likely is incorrect. I'm also struggling to explain why this answer [2] has potential.

“In November 1989, while #Netanyahu served as a junior minister in Shamir’s government, he spoke at Bar-Ilan University, the academic mecca of religious nationalism in Israel. He said:

#Israel should have taken advantage of the suppression of the demonstrations in #China in #Tiananmen Square, when the world’s attention was focused on what was happening in that country, to carry out #mass #expulsions among the #Arabs of the territories.“
