That feeling when your renderer can handle a component that outputs HTML inside link text in Markdown that’s embedded in HTML.
(Yes, I’m bragging.)

More progress toward a usable light mode theme in ngscopeclient.
Not pushed yet, but color preferences are now scoped to the GUI theme setting so when you change the theme, different sets of preferences are applied.
I'm gradually going through the code finding spots that need to be themed differently and picking sane light-mode default colors, which will take a bit longer.
One thing I'm not yet sure about is how to handle channel colors; the default values for instr…

Filter graph still mostly using dark-mode colors except the text which is black and almost impossible to read on the dark background of the nodes
Waveform view mostly showing light mode colors except the channel buttons which are black backgrounds

If you set limits for a scale (e.g. x-axis) in ggplot, how would you like data outside of that range be handled? There is the oob parameter for that and a set of functions to use with it: scales.r-lib.org/reference/oob

Out of bounds handling — oob
This set of functions modify data values outside a given range. The oob_*() functions are designed to be passed as the oob argument of ggplot2 continuous and binned scales, with oob_discard being an exception. These functions affect out of bounds values in the following ways: oob_censor() replaces out of bounds values with NAs. This is the default oob argument for continuous scales. oob_censor_any() acts like oob_censor(), but also replaces infinite values with NAs. oob_squish() replaces out of…

@… @… a slightly different issue there! We already handle `Date` instances for the special `date` property (whether yaml parses them by default or not is the js-yaml change) and String (previous luxon, now this new package)

Lange Zeit hatte #xrdp bei mir nicht mehr funktioniert, das gefühlt mit Updates der beteiligten Packages zu tun hatte, aber weit gefehlt.

Jetson / Ubuntu XRDP Setup Runbook
Much of this setup process is handled by GitHub - kyroskoh/setup-xrdp-script: XRDP + Desktop Environment Setup (Ubuntu). Supports (XFCE or GNOME) · GitHub BTW (just to save you and others time trying to replicate this in the future). It relies on Xsession to start X11 sessions and maintain them, in lieu of using gdm for interactive logins. All that you’d need to do is the following: Execute this to disable gdm: sudo systemctl set-default multi-user.target Reboot afterwards. Grab the sc…

My wife complained her iPhone 17 display was "turning pink". Fishing through settings menus revealed Accessibility > Display > Color Filters set to pink. I turned it off, phone normal.
But the phone kept turning pink. Online searches revealed the default "Accessibility action" for hitting the side button 3x was to turn *on* the color filter (easy to do by accident just handling the phone).
Who at Apple thought this was a useful default??
