Reading NFC Passport Chips in Linux
For boring and totally not nefarious reasons, I want to read all the data contained in my passport's NFC chip using Linux. After a long and annoying search, I settled on roeften's pypassport. I can now read all the passport information, including biometrics.

Green Scheduling with Time-of-Use Tariffs and Machine States: Optimizing Energy Cost via Branch-and-Bound and Bin Packing Strategies
This paper presents a branch-and-bound algorithm, enhanced with bin packing strategies, for scheduling under variable energy pricing and power-saving states. The proposed algorithm addresses the 1,TOU|states|TEC problem, which involves scheduling jobs to minimize total energy cost (TEC) while considering time-of-use (TOU) electricity prices and different machine states (e.g., processing, idle, off). Key innovations include instance pre-processing for rapid lower bound calculations, a …
