I get a 504 Gateway Timeout when trying to access https://ncatlab.org/nlab/authors?page=5. Curiously, pages 1–4 work fine.
I don’t know. But I regularly get “502 Bad Gateway” errors when opening and saving Lab pages. Consistently so when asking for https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/n-stack.
I don't know what's been done in the meantime, but both of these work for me now, and very quickly too. (The latter is an ambiguous redirect, but both possible targets work fine.)
Sorry for this off-topic, but to Toby: are you still using the email address that begins with the letters ’eb’? I mailed something to you a few weeks ago.
I get the bad gateway when I click on the link in #2, but #1 is ok.
I think that you're referring to the address that I use for the nlab-talk Google group. I mean to respond to that! The quick answer is that, yes, there are a lot of constructivists that eschew formalism, including Brouwer and Bishop, but they’re not the ones coming to constructivism via category theory or mathematical logic.
Thanks! It seems to me such a corrective to Carl’s comment might be called for; not sure.
(To all: I’m referring to a comments made by Carl Mummert at MathOverflow here, saying roughly that constructive mathematicians tend to shun formalization. Something about that didn’t sound completely accurate to me, so I emailed Toby for his opinion. Again, sorry for the off-topic interjection.)
Read in isolation, the comment does sound wrong, but since it was a response to a comment about Bishop’s constructive math it makes some more sense. On the other hand, I think the people who call the latter “BISH” do generally tend to have a particular axiomatization in mind. And to be honest, I feel like the constructive mathematicians who shun formalization are a dying breed, although my experiences are of course biased.
I never got back to that stuff about Carl's comment, but I think that, in context, the replies already made on MO are sufficient.
