Advanced Self-Aware ed(1)
ed(1) is a versatile programming system. Yet no one talks about metaprogramming and algorithms in it. Now someone did, and that’s me!

Being rember twice recently that Google also has an unfair advantage to decide which app stays running and which doesn't on your phone, which is the root cause of so many notification issues if you go the non play store route for your apps.

The offices at John Quackenbush’s lab at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health
were once full of postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and interns.
Young scientists here worked on some of the most cutting-edge computational biology research in the world,
driving new discoveries and the creation of widely used big data tools, including one the National Cancer Institute named among the most important advances of 2024.
Today, the offices are rows of empty comp…

His lab was humming with discovery. After one year under Trump, it’s almost silent
John Quackenbush built a lab that is at the forefront of human genetics research and bioinformatics. Trump administration cuts have put it in danger of collapse.

Are there any admins on social.tchncs.de.? Is anonymously spreading lies about over 30 families in Gaza allowed on this instance?
This anonymous coward has been chased off of every server he’s been on and yet he’s still here, still attacking people suffering from genocide and famine.
(And yes, some folks copy posts from others. We’ve asked them not to. But they’re trying to survive genocide, not win social media awards.)
Also (see his second post) we’re not attempting to r…

Linux Is Best (@Linux@social.tchncs.de)
Attached: 2 images 1 of 2 First, let me say: what’s happening in Gaza is absolutely awful. But what’s also awful is that there are dishonest people taking advantage of others during a crisis. In one photo, from Facebook (my job, where I work), we had a woman claiming to be a 36-year-old mother of two children, ages 4 and 7. She spaced out the URL in her post, hoping it wouldn’t get flagged by spam filters (it did). The very next day, someone on the Fediverse posted the exact same messa…

Twenty-four. There are now 24 advents. All of you wiseacres suggesting I was one calendar away from an advent of advents can stuff it.

Web Design / Dev Advent Calendars for 2025
The advent calendar I wanted to use for the photo hasn’t arrived yet, so enjoy this box of tree. Web developers around the world have for years given a nod to Saturnalia solstice Isaac Newton’s birthday Yule wassailing mummering end of Gregorian calendar year Christmas with advent calendars covering web-related…

"However, by 2015, support for independence stood at 52% among those on the left, compared with just 24% among those on the right – a difference of 28 points... In our most recent survey in 2024, those on the left were 34 points more likely than those on the right to say that Scotland should become an independent country"

What they don't tell you about demand paging in school - offlinemark
This post details my adventures with the Linux virtual memory subsystem, and my discovery of a creative way to taunt the OOM (out of memory) killer by accumulating memory in the kernel, rather than in userspace. Keep reading and you’ll learn: Internal details of the Linux kernel’s demand paging implementation How to exploit virtual memory […]

After years of patient investment, China is on the cusp of a robotics revolution.

If embodied intelligence
— think AI-powered robots that can navigate the real world
— is the next frontier of AI, then China appears poised to dominate.
Though the United States still has distinct advantages in software, advanced AI chips and foundational research, China leads in robot hardware, deployment and policy support.

Last year, China installed nearly 300,000 robots in its fact…

The Chinese robots are coming
China is miles ahead in the race to dominate a technology that could define the 21st century.
