Behind the public’s mounting worries is a growing sense that Trump isn’t mentally all there.
Physical and mental health aren’t easily separated, especially as one reaches 80. I often can’t remember where I put my wallet and keys or why I’ve entered a room. I also have less patience than I used to have. (I’m less tolerant of long lines, automated phone menus and Republicans.)
But if Trump can’t remember where he put, say, a top-secret memo or why he entered the Situation Room, or …

It was the Functional Programming exam today. I went to the room to make sure everything was OK and to wish the students good luck. Upon entering the room, invigilator dutifully ushered me to a seat to take the exam…

It's always important to have a consistent #security policy.
For example, a policy of "If somebody filed a CVE, it's an important security issue, and we will fix it as such, no matter how meaningless the fix is. If nobody did, it's just a glorified bug fix, no matter how serious the bug was."
So we've just seen a #pip security release over "installing random packages can overwrite pip's files and pip can lazy-import some of them immediately afterwards", with a fix of "pip will no longer load them until you run it again" (leaving the underlying security issue of "any #Python package can override files installed by any other Python package" as intended behavior). As Eli Schwartz beautifully put it, you are not expected to be using the virtual environment; you should create it, install packages into it (at most once!), and then frame it and put it on the wall to admire.
Now we're seeing a "bug fix" for "malicious entry point names can write outside of virtual environment". If nobody filed a CVE, it's obviously not a security issue at all. At least upstream graced us with fixing it without correcting the spec to forbid that first.

A lot of the analytical work I do really adapts well to #Jupyter Notebooks. It's very helpful to organize the code into logical chunks, one chunk per cell.
However, now I want to re-run the entire workbook, changing only one parameter.
Is there an easy way to do that without merging all the cells together?
ETA: My notebook has a parameter section at the top, but now I want to …

OK, the Arch runner is now set up and working after my rather annoying tangle with llvmpipe.
The entire six-job build ran for 17 minutes. I could probably optimize it further: right now the Windows and Ubuntu 24.04 builds are among the slower ones and they share the same GPU forcing them to run sequentially. If I shuffled around which VM ran which job, I could probably fine tune a bit.
Max concurrent jobs was four, three using nvidia cards plus the Ubuntu 26.04 using llvmpipe. I …

Lärm und Abgase, systematisch frisiert und systematisch nicht erkannt: "KTM verkauft Enduro-Motorräder, die nie auf die Straße dürften. Recherchen zeigen ein womöglich illegales System auf Kosten von Fahrern und Umwelt"
Solche Betrügereien werden durch einen wegschauenden Staat möglich. Wenn die Polizei illegale Fahrzeuge nicht aus dem Verkehr zieht, ist das ein Anreiz mit Umweltverschmutzung Geld zu verdienen.
