Task Failed Successfully: The Cracked Columbia Takeover and Expulsion
The sputtering 18-hour barricade-aided takeover of Columbia University by Hamas supporters ended last night faster than Humpty Dumpty falling off the wall; of course, the occupier's task failed successfully only after being rightly pushed from the second story ledge of Hamilton Hall by NYPD riot officers. As a graduate of Columbia University, I was chagrined for the students who occupied Hamilton,…

Well…it finally happened…
after teaching beginning photography for over 15 years, I finally did it.
I taught a SHIT class tonight. 😢
I was all out of sorts, my computer didn't want to show the slides properly, I couldn't keep my thoughts straight, it felt like I was unprepared…
Ugh...what an awful feeling…

Hi friends, here's the last #photo from my recent blog post (from my cold #photography - #hiking trip).
This spot was a perfect opportunity to apply ND Filters and some longexposure. I loved …

Second Chances: Finding Beauty Beyond Expectations
In this blog post, I recount a journey of redemption and unexpected beauty. After a failed attempt to capture the perfect photo at a frozen waterfall, a second chance arises. Armed with newfound determination and experience, I embark on a photographic adventure, discovering hidden opportunities and

Recently I've added a cheap hack to the standard #Gentoo invocation for #PyTest to throw errors if unhandled async functions are detected. The goal was to increase our chances of finding packages with missing dependency on dev-python/pytest-asyncio (or another equivalent plugin), or packages disabling plugin autoloading and failing to load such a plugin.
Today, I've gotten a first bug report, regarding dev-python/ipython. I've grepped the sources and confirmed that the package depends on PyTest-AsyncIO, except that it pins to < 0.22. Well, we don't have one that old but let's hope it works anyway. So I've tried adding the dep, `-p asyncio`… and PyTest still apparently couldn't find the plugin. I've scratched my head and tried `PYTEST_PLUGINS` instead — still the same result. What the…?
So I've checked the git repository out, tried with older PyTest-AsyncIO, and indeed the tests worked. Tried with the newest, 0.23.6, and the same issue occurred. I've checked the git history and discovered that the version pin was added because of a buggy 0.22.0 release. However, the issue has been fixed since, the release was yanked and my problem was nothing like that.
So I've investigated more. For some reason, #IPython test suite does not mark tests with `pytest.mark.asyncio` marker directly. Instead, it globally iterates over all test functions, and implicitly adds the marker to all coroutines. This used to work with older versions, but does not work anymore — the test is correctly marked, but for some reason it stops being recognized as a coroutine. So I've made a minimal reproducer and filed a bug.
The key point here is: the (potential) bug went unnoticed for a while now, because of the premature, then obsolete pin in IPython.

Dark energy and dark matter configurations for wormholes and solitionic hierarchies of nonmetric Ricci flows and $F(R,T,Q,T_{m})$ gravity
We extend the anholonomic frame and connection deformation method, AFCDM, for constructing exact and parametric solutions in general relativity, GR, to geometric flow models and modified gravity theories, MGTs, with nontrivial torsion and nonmetricity fields. Following abstract geometric or variational methods, we can derive corresponding systems of nonmetric gravitational and matter field equations which consist of very sophisticated systems of coupled nonlinear PDEs. Using nonholonomic frames…

Hey friends!
We are just back from another nice 42km #cycling loop. Lots of headwind, lots of up and down and a little mistake in starting the tour at the highest point of the loop. The final, long ascent was a bit... Not so much fun.
But the views were just ace, more streets than yesterday but very few traffic! I was rather happy to have sun cream today.
Just a great Sunday!
