Jeremy Clarkson's pub has been 'swindled' out of £27,000 by hackers
The 65-year-old also accused some customers of failing to use the bathrooms properly

Tip for #FlyingLess as a family: prepare for long train rides with board card games. The #privacy friendly app games by @… are absolutely brilliant, easy to use, stable not stealing your data (or trying to sell your kids stuff).
(Edited to give right masto account: top work, thanks Secuso🙏 for the hours of fun your sudoku app has provided already).

Probabilistic thresholds of turbulence decay in transitional shear flows
Linearly stable shear flows first transition to turbulence in the form of localised patches. At low Reynolds numbers, these turbulent patches tend to suddenly decay, following a memoryless process typical of rare events. How far in advance their decay can be forecasted is still unknown. We perform massive ensembles of simulations of pipe flow and a reduced order model of shear flows (Moehlis et al. 2004) and determine the first moment in time at which decay becomes fully predictable, subject to…

A while ago, I've followed the example given by #Fedora and unbundled ensurepip wheels from #Python in #Gentoo (just checked — "a while ago" was 3 years ago). This had the important advantage that it enabled us to update these wheels along with the actual pip and setuptools packages, meaning new virtual environments would get fresh versions rather than whatever CPython happened to bundle at the time of release.
I had considered using our system packages to prepare these wheels, but since we were already unbundling dependencies back then, that couldn't work. So I just went with fetching upstream wheels from PyPI. Why not build them from source instead? Well, besides feeling unnecessary (it's not like the PyPI wheels are actually binary packages), we probably didn't have the right kind of eclass support for that at the time.
Inspired by @…, today I've tried preparing new revisions of ensurepip packages that actually do build everything from source. So what changed, and why should building from source matter now? Firstly, as part of the wheel reuse patches, we do have a reasonably clean architecture to grab the wheels created as part of the PEP517 build. Secondly, since we're unbundling dependencies from pip and setuptools, we're effectively testing different packages than these installed as ensurepip wheels — and so it would be meaningful to test both variants. Thirdly, building from source is going to make patching easier, and at the very least enable user patching.
While at it, I've refreshed the test suite runs in all three regular packages (pip, setuptools and wheel — we need an "ensurepip" wheel for the last because of test suites). And of course, I hit some test failures in testing the versions with bundled dependencies, and I've discovered a random bug in #PyPy.

Hybrid pipe dreams for the lower-upper scheme

Hybrid pipe dreams for the lower-upper scheme
In [KU23] were introduced hybrid pipe dreams interpolating between classic and bumpless pipe dreams, each hybridization giving a different formula for double Schubert polynomials. A bijective proof was given (following [GH23]) of the independence of hybridization, but only for nonequivariant Schubert polynomials. In this paper we further generalize to hybrid generic pipe dreams, replacing the bijective proof of hybridization-independence with a Yang-Baxter-based proof that allows one to maintai…

A hybrid dosimetry approach for remote audits in Ir-192 HDR interstitial brachytherapy: Development and pilot implementation
Purpose: This work presents the development and pilot implementation of a comprehensive remote dosimetry audit for Ir-192 High Dose Rate interstitial brachytherapy, integrating experimental and computational dosimetry procedures into a unified workflow. TG43 and Model Based Dose Calculations Algorithms (MBDCAs) are both considered. Methods: A compact, water-equivalent phantom was designed to hold two catheters, ten Optically Stimulated Luminescent Dosimeters (OSLDs) and two radiochromic films, …

One of the things about long road trips is the need for housekeeping. Day six was spent in Ceduna, getting laundry done, restocking the pantry, sweeping out the van and filling gas bottles. Ceduna has a good bakery and a pub on the foreshore. #RoadTrip
