Another evening of filter refactoring and optimization, a few more nice performance jumps.
I've now done a first pass (remove deprecated method signatures, add explicit input location, add NVTX trace data, do easy GPU optimization if I see an obvious low effort win) on all filters A-F alphabetically plus a few later on that were priorities for one reason or other.
90 down (of which 23 were optimized and the rest just refactored), 115 to go.
Some of the remaining ones sh…

This is frustrating because the unnamed people advising that were wrong. It confuses trapping page focus in a modal to blocking users from using the rest of their browser. Also, ugh APG.

And I was surprised — accessibility advice around modals have commonly taught us to trap focus within the modal. So this seems wrong to me.
Upon further research, it seems like we no longer need to trap focus within the <dialog> (even in modal mode). So, the focus-trapping is deprecated advice if you use <dialog>.

Currently very unimpressed with Mikrotik. They introduced breaking changes to how containers work in RouterOS 7.20 last year, and now they're on 7.21, but their documentation STILL reflects the deprecated and now-unavailable <=7.19.6 mount syntax (`mounts=`) and does not document the new `mount=` and `mountlist=` syntax in any way.
What the fuck, Mikrotik? How is this any way to do releases?

Still working the kinks out of transporting my computing home to a new laptop, and this one popped up today attempting to generate and view #Emacs #org as HTML. I recognize the words as english, but can anyone parse the meaning?

needless to say, search engines were no help in finding Org News, for any version.

⚡ Escape hatch exists: #[AllowDynamicProperties] attribute opts into old behavior. Use ONLY for legacy vendor code or gradual migration with a removal plan. Never use for new code.
📊 Timeline: PHP 8.1 = allowed | PHP 8.2 = deprecated warning | PHP 9.0 = fatal error. Start fixing now!
🎯 Migration strategy: Run PHPStan/Psalm analysis, fix domain models first (critical), then controllers/services, then DTOs. Add static analysis to CI pipeline to prevent regression.

I've just checked out a #Clojure project I last worked on thirteen years ago, compiled it, ran its unit tests, and they all passed. I then ran `lein ancient upgrade :check-clojure` to upgrade all the dependencies to their latest versions, ran the unit tests again, and they all passed.
I did get one 'deprecated' warning. I can live with that!
It's not stability that I c…

Summary of the recent optimization work in ngscopeclient (not counting core/driver stuff, just filters)
I'm now making a pass through the entire filter library in alphabetical order removing some deprecated APIs, adding error reporting, and doing trivial GPU optimizations where I find them but not spending more than a few hours on a filter unless it's something like the CDR or eye that is really critical.
None of these are what I would consider "done". I'm f…

So, “IJ” is a diphthong — capitalised together therefore, and can have its own #unicode digraph — but the equivalence with “Y” existed until 1804 and has been deprecated since.

Seems that the DM feature (on Twitter) is getting deprecated or something. That's what I use to store the tweets to be RT-ed there. I will try to do this ASAP, but for now I'll back it up before it's gone.
PS. This is only relevant on Twitter but I still post it here for transparency.
