@… on the bright side 🙂 one good thing about vi is the knowledge that it can be deeply divisive.
I once used this foreknowledge as part of a secret plan to find good co-workers for something. As predicted: the discussion quickly spiralled out of control. Some of the previously identified candidates showed their true colours when put in a difficult (contentious) si…

I was at an event yesterday evening with a group discussion. As I often do, I drew a mindmap on my iPad to summarise what we talked about. I've made mindmaps since I was a kid and truly love them as a thinking tool. I also pride myself in having a real skill in picking up important points and quickly drawing connections and grouping them. I've been doing this for more than two decades.
So I presented the mindmap at the end and of course people asked "What AI tool did you u…

Bonjour, suite Š une discussion avec un membre du conseil municipal de ma commune, j'ai proposé de faire une petite présentation/initiation Š Open Street Map auprès des élus. J'ai malheureusement pas beaucoup de temps libre pour m'ateler Š la préparation de la présentation. Quelqu'un aurait des ressources, une présentation sous le coude qui pourrait me servir de base ? Merci d'avance pour vos contributions !
https://pivotnine.com/blog/open-source-has-too-many-parasocial-relationships/ is an excellent distillation of the "software supply chain attack" discussion, and why I feel like that framing does nothing to prevent the kind of security flaws that get labeled as such
@… It's still good to know the demand.
Technical obstacles can be worked on by contributors, too. :-)
Can you point me to the current discussion around V4L2?
Paint samples arrived today and it was obvious which was gonna work better so I ordered a full 2.5l can.
Only to get an email back saying they can't make that colour in that varnish. Weird. That was literally the only actually blue they said they'd do last time they said they couldn't deliver what the website let me order.
After some discussion they have referred it to the Tainting Supervisor and it's apparently going to be here Monday.
Similarly for the wood, failed to arrive again today. They reckon Monday this time really for reals. Fingers crossed coz the carpenter can't do more until the wood arrives really and he's going on holiday this time next week.
So assuming the wood comes, four days to build the doors and finish off the walls of the closet and stuff.
Hopefully it can all be done in that time. Or at least the hard bits leaving the easy stuff for the less carpentery builder.

Scattering in Time-Varying Drude-Lorentz Models

Abstract: Motivated by recent experiments, the theoretical study of wave propagation in time varying materials is of current interest. Although significant in nearly all such experiments, material dispersion is commonly neglected in theoretical studies. Yet, as we show here, understanding the precise microscopic model for the material dispersion is crucial for predicting experimental outcomes. Here we study the temporal scattering coefficients of four different time-varying Drude-Lorentz models, exploring how an incident continuous wave splits into forward and backward waves due to an abrupt change in plasma frequency. The differences in the predicted scattering are unique to time-varying media, and arise from the exact way in which the time variation appears in the various model parameters. We verify our results using a custom finite difference time domain algorithm, concluding with a discussion of the limitations that arise from using these models with an abrupt change in plasma frequency.

We were having a discussion about the origin of the "Enhance!" trope (when someone in a movie or TV show zooms in on a photo or video still and it stays amazingly high resolution), the first instance I can think of is in Columbo season 4, episode 5 ("Playback") from 1975.

One thing I learned from our female IT-specialists is how offensive the term "man days" is.
Recently there was a discussion (all men) about efforts and "man days". I just said "It's Person Days - there are quite a couple of women in the team as well."
Short silence, bit surprised looks.

Seeing the discussion, I’d like to clarify:
This post is not a statement on #nuclear energy. I was responding to the specific article that I shared, where @… reported that tech companies are “using AI to speed up the construction of new nuclear power plants.”
My point is - cutting corners and trying to “speed up” the construction or operation of nuclear power plants can have CATASTROPHIC effects.
Chernobyl was a disaster of mismanagement, cost cutting, and insufficient safety procedures.
I do not trust AI, a technology that is notoriously probabilistic and inconsistent in outputs (and with famously high error rates) to be reliable and competent for a use case where the risks are this high.
I also do not support the mindset of wanting to “speed up” ANY regulatory processes and safety checks when it comes to constructing nuclear power infrastructure.
Licensing is not a “bottleneck” here. It’s a safety prerogative.
(Thanks @… for bringing this to my attention!)

I could have written "maybe we rely a bit too much on these giant server farms owned by a single entity?" but I like the more silly and less serious approach to the discussion.
Beside, writing it here I'm just preaching the quire. So we might have some fun meanwhile!
The #ag2025goerlitz townhall about the #ExpandingHorizons initiative by #ESO concludes with a panel discussion featuring the five presenters.
We •also• want forces that pull toward convergence and consesnsus: forces that challenge ideas with contrary evidence — and forces that challenge vile ideas with “ugh, wtf, go away you Nazi turd.”
Yes, the latter too! Filtering is a crucial part of free society. You can’t have a useful discussion about climate change or global trade or time zones if you always set aside plenty of time for dingbats who insist the Earth is flat.
It’s not that people don’t think that! It’s that the idea deserves no more time and attention than that necessary to refute it — because it’s absurd and harmful and counterproductive.

Finally tried "testing/synctest" and I must say this is A PERFECT way of a writing tests for async and cancelable code. No more flaky checking of random time ranges. No more selecting timeouts small enough to not kill the testing at all, but big enough that they'll work on a busy CI machine.
I put sleeps 1s, 2s, 5s, 10s in a loop and the test itself finishes in 0s. All asserts are for the exact time too.
A great article on Wikipedia and some of the big problems it is facing these days, also within the context of former events. If you hear about Wikipedia being biased, this article offers a great discussion about that.

We (Anja Lehmann, abhi shelat, and I) have uploaded a first draft of our proposal for EUDI pseudonyms as input to the debate that is currently happening between EU countries. What is a pseudonym, what requirements does it need to tackle, and how can we potentially solve it? We'd be happy to open the discussion for any kind of feedback.

Listening to CBC Radio Barrie this morning and they were interviewing the manager responsible for housing starts for the Town of Innisfil. The discussion was about missed targets for housing starts and what can be done to get back on track. You could tell that he was frustrated, but the reason for less homes being built was almost solely put on the downturn in the housing market. No one is buying, so private industry isn't building.
All levels of government are throwing money at the problem, with most of it incentivizing for-profit companies to put shovels in the ground. At some point, the Federal, Provincial, and Municipal governments have to realize that public housing, government leasehold development, co-operative housing, or subsidized family apartments must be considered to solve the housing shortage. Private industry will never have the same objectives of getting families into homes - without a calculation of significant profits first.
