Did anyone read the grammar of graphics paper from Hadley Wickham? I kind of enjoyed it a lot, and got to know what's the power source really. I'm amazed so many software libraries came to reinvent compossibility in such unergonomic ways... But it's nice to have options.

I think I might prefer base R over matplotlib though... :p

Cool. Btw, I'm using gluetun container, and sending through VPN only a few containarrs. It's just another take, instead of running the VPN connection on the OS level and then whitelisting apps for exclusion.

I can recommend Mensinator. It includes logging and calculated ovulation day too. Something I could not see in bluemoon screenshots.

Dear all, please remember that engaging with trolls can get you banned (rule of thumb, half the time the offender gets for themselves)

Write what you want others to read, I don't care if there are disagreements. But go get a private chat room if you want to exchange insults with them :)

Indeed. Also, I am concerned about self-hosting enthusiasts that install docker (without the advance rootless mode) and blindly run containers. Sometimes these containers are even made by third parties, independent of the app developers. Unfortunately, the supply chain there is up for grabs...

Ah, my bad "again"... should have mentioned that there's the advance configuration option that 1% of the geeks do

I have a singlespeed, I live in a mostly flat city. It's awesome! Most bikes have gears and are more 'breakable' as they have all those external moving parts.

Then, there's that gear system that is built into the wheel, that's less breakable but probably less reparaible too.

So, my advice would be to get a fixie. I used it with the 'freewheel' config at first but having switched I learnt of the efficiency in translating hard pushes on the pedal (I don't stand-up pedal anymore, and most small slopes are a bit easier now!)

Fixies had a revival for these reasons. Unfortunately, at least in Germany, they're extremely underrepresented in the market.

Docker is not rootless. Is only safe as long as the container (or those web devs) doesn't use nsenter or anything similar to get root access outside of it ;)

Do check seaweedfs too! Haven't tried it (yet) but their 'erasure coding' reads as super sophisticated to me ;)

I wonder how it compares to beegfs

You will go straight to jail 😡😡😡

I only learnt this recently, but snail depictions were ubiquitous in gothic manuscripts' marginalia. Oftentimes, with social implications, very much like satire. The snail, being slow and seemingly harmless, simbolizes futility or absurdity of certain endeavors. There's many interpretations among historians and art enthusiasts.

What's the difference? :p

Congrats!

PS. Distro (or DE) wars are meaningless. But I use KDE btw ;)

 
 

(For context, I'm basically referring to Python 3.12 "multiprocessing.Pool Vs. concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor"...)

Today I read that multiple cores (parallelism) help in CPU bound operations. Meanwhile, multiple threads (concurrency) is due when the tasks are I/O bound.

Is this correct? Anyone cares to elaborate for me?

At least from a theorethical standpoint. Of course, many real work has a mix of both, and I'd better start with profiling where the bottlenecks really are.

If serves of anything having a concrete "algorithm". Let's say, I have a function that applies a map-reduce strategy reading data chunks from a file on disk, and I'm computing some averages from these data, and saving to a new file.

Rockstar Games' servers have been under heavy fire from massive DDoS attacks in recent days, causing widespread login and connectivity issues for players of GTA Online. These attacks come in the wake of Rockstar’s recent implementation of BattlEye, a new anti-cheat system designed to crack down on in-game cheating, sparking backlash from a segment of the player base. Protesters, unhappy with the new system, have resorted to using distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks to disrupt the servers, escalating tensions between the gaming giant and its community.

I'll just leave this here.

 

Fig. 1 gives an example of a conversation where the user goes from 100% belief down to 40% after getting their questions explained by the AI.

Looking at the conclusions, the impact is not so big for all the interactions.

Anyway, this is a great tool. Sure, when people are doomscrolling 24/7 they’re not fact-checking. So, the intervention might not be there. Yet, I choose to remain optimistic. More recent generations might get easier access and be better than our current trend :)
