Oha, dieses Jahr wird mein Soziologie-Diplom volljährig...
"The woman, who did not want her name published for safety reasons, added: 'This is not about us. We were beaten for 15 minutes. Palestinians here endure this violence every day, every hour, a thousand-fold.' ...
Activists say that violent incidents have become an almost daily occurrence. Attacks have included settler mobs breaking into homes and beating villagers, stealing 200 sheep, two cars and destroying solar panels"

SERVALAN: What if Avon heard?
ZUKAN: He's been on Betafarl for three hours. He'll have left Scorpio by now.
[Sandpit on Betafarl. Nothing else is in sight.]

My "grow plants everywhere" mod for #Luanti is progressing!
I just built a routine to do blobby weight regions as the intersection of a bunch of parabolas, where weight increases logarithmically from the edge of the parabola with an adjustable edge region, and we use the geometric average of these weight values within the intersection region. Then I spent a few hours hunched over a biomes vornoi diagram approximating different broad regions like "arid_grasses" and "temperate_trees" so you can just name some combination of these regions (with custom per-region multipliers) and have your plant definition apply within those regions. I was using rectangular min/max heat/humidity values before, but they were pretty awkward to work with.
If anyone on here who plays Luanti wants to check it out let me know and I can prioritize publishing what I've got. I've got growth definitions for most but not all VoxeLibre plants and it wouldn't be hard to put them together for another game. No trees yet, but that's pretty much the next thing to work on.
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…

Favorite landscape and time of year.
(Upper glacial valleys are often so colorful and especially in autumn, when the colors of the many different types of rocks are complemented by those of the tundra vegetation up there... it's a harsh climate/environment, at the same time so peaceful/friendly [if the weather is right] — a feast for the eyes and good for the soul... yet, each time also a bittersweet experience, seeing how fast glaciers are disappearing)
Johnny Harris (he doesn't seem to have a presence here) has a really good video out right now on public transportation in Switzerland. "By law, every village in Switzerland, which has people living all year round, they have the right of public transportation. It can be a train, it can be a gondola, it can be a bus. Whatever." That's pretty cool.
