Faster zlib/DEFLATE decompression on the Apple M1 (and x86)
DEFLATE is a relatively slow compression algorithm from 1991, which (along with its wrapper format, zlib) is incredibly widely used, for example in the PNG, Zip and Gzip file formats and the HTTP, …

Mixl (AfD) postet: 206.600 Wohnungen 2025, –18 %, Baupreise 5 %. „Dank SPD und Union."
Die Zahlen stimmen. Nur: Was 2025 fertig wurde, wurde 2022/23 genehmigt – Zinsschock. Der ZDB nennt es „direkte Folge des Genehmigungseinbruchs ab 2022". Die Regierung ist seit Mai 2025 im Amt.
Und: Beim Bau-Turbo (§246e BauGB, 9.10.2025) – Genehmigung in 2 Monaten – stimmte die AfD dagegen.
Er fordert, was er abgelehnt hat.

Heat waves: Expert tips on redesigning UK homes to cope with hotter temperatures
As the UK prepares for the third heat wave of 2026, most people will be hoping to keep cool at home. Building regulations to protect homes from overheating were introduced in 2022. These require all new homes to be checked at the design stage to see if they might be at risk of overheating. If the overheating risk is high, the architect has to make changes to the design.

To put this into perspective, that’s roughly equivalent to the number of US servicemen killed AND wounded during the entirety of the Vietnam War.

📢 Weidel und Chrupalla als AfD-Vorsitzende wiedergewählt
Alice Weidel und Tino Chrupalla bleiben Co-Chefs der AfD. Der Bundesparteitag in Erfurt bestätigte Chrupalla mit gut 70 Prozent im Amt - deutlich weniger als beim Parteitag vor zwei Jahren. Weidel erhielt etwas mehr als 81 Prozent der abgegebenen Stimmen. Chrupalla steht seit 2019 an der Spitze der in Teilen rechtsextremen Partei, Weidel seit 2022.

dom: Animal dominance archive (2022)
Animal dominance interaction data published over a century of research. The archive contains 434 agonistic interaction datasets, totaling over 241,000 interactions. A directed edge (i,j) corresponds to an antagonist interaction between i (winner) and j (loser). If a 'weight' edge property map exists, it counts the number of such interactions.
This network has 7 nodes and 14 edges.

Someone’s Been Messing With My Subnormals!

My water bill came in recently, which is kind of appropriate considering all the pond talk.
Since building it, the front yard #pandemicPond very very rarely is topped up on its own from tap water. Generally we keep it full from rain water, the rain barrel, or as part of the general low-flow spray/water system for the yard in the summer. So our water consumption really is dependant on how much garden watering we are doing. I'm not surprised we were high last year as we watered the new green-driveway and young trees.
The #PoolPond might, or might not, be different given the sheer volume *and* surface area (ie. evaporation). We have a 1000L rainwater barrel in the back yard, but that would only be useful for replacing evaporation losses at best in the poolpond.
I'll have to fill it once or twice in the coming weeks and possibly once a year if I do an annual cleaning at the end of the summer. We'll see. This year will also feature a return of vegetation to the back yard, so we'll likely be watering it more than when it is established in a year or two.
The city splits our bill into 3 periods per year, which is a little weird but ok...
Our household consumption has varied quite a bit since the pandemic due to changes in household composition (kids moving to uni etc) or us being more or less active in the garden.
I am happy that we used very little water this winter/spring, the least since 2022. I expect it to spike in the current April-August period as both kids have returned and I'll be doing all this pond stuff. But if I can keep it under 150,000L ($150) on the August bill, I'll be happy.
In the coming years, if I can use less in the Fall, Winter and Spring to "save up" for Summer, that would be nice but minimizing all seasons will always be the goal. That's why more trees are going to happen in the backyard at some point. Shade=Less watering!
In all, I'm happy with the only modest rise in our water consumption over the past few years.

VBR: version based reclamation.

VBR: Version Based Reclamation
Safe lock-free memory reclamation is a difficult problem. Existing solutions follow three basic methods (or their combinations): epoch based reclamation, hazard pointers, and optimistic reclamation. Epoch-based methods are fast, but do not guarantee lock-freedom. Hazard pointer solutions are lock-free but typically do not provide high performance. Optimistic methods are lock-free and fast, but previous optimistic methods did not go all the way. While reads were executed optimistically, writes w…
