A skier has just left the lip of the kicker, in bright sunshine, and one ski is just coming loose. The cloud of snow on the lip behind her is testament to the edge that cut in.
Later in the same jump, she's coming round from a rotation, with a grab on the remaining ski, and is looking across at her rapidly departing left ski. The expression is a bit "WTF?"

There are two main ways to replace part of a string in a text editor, with a longer string.
Either you use the overwrite mode to overwrite the overlapping part, then switch to insert mode to append the extra characters, or you delete the overlapping part, then insert the new string using insert mode entirely.
Or you can be chaotic, use overwrite mode to replace part of it, prematurely switch to insert mode, delete the remaining extraneous characters and insert whatever is left.

Each year, about 400,000 international students are granted study visas to the UK. A significant proportion do so with the help of education agents: middlemen paid by universities to find foreign students. In 2023, UK universities spent a total of £500m on education agents - but there is very little oversight of how these agents operate.

So, decided to get them rookie `/queue` numbers up so did a quick bit of caching. For a 12-job queue, I went from 240 RPS (Python/Flask) to 680 (Golang/Gin) then to 3400 RPS with some proper caching. The `/workers` endpoint would benefit as well, but I think its performant enough though I may end up adding a bit of caching later.
#golang

The old endpoint (left) versus the new endpoint (right).  What's more, the rewritten endpoint still had headroom resource-wise on the VM whereas the old one had maxed out the VM's CPU.

The image is a meme that humorously compares two different brains. The top of the image is split into two sections by text. The left section reads "my brain" with a smiling emoji next to it. The right section reads "yuor brain" (a misspelling of "your brain") with a prohibition sign emoji.

Below the text, the image displays two distinct brains side-by-side. The "my brain" side features a smooth, pinkish-white object that resembles a simplified, almost abstract representation of a brain, lackin…

North Carolina led for just .4 seconds in Saturday's rivalry game against Duke.
But that's all they needed to secure the win.
Seth Trimble's three-pointer with 0.4 seconds left delivered the Tar Heels a 71-68 win and closed out a 9-0 run in the game.
After Trimble's three-pointer, the fans rushed the court before having to clear it,
leaving a delay and one last heave for the Blue Devils.
But a turnover sealed it and the party can begin on Franklin…

Since coming back from Germany for HARRIS I've been chasing a weird issue on my ThunderScope 100baseT1 test setup.
Before leaving for HARRIS I unplugged the TS, left the rest of the setup untouched, and brought the TS with me to demo to people while traveling.
After coming back the TS appears fine (passed calibration, and gives good-looking eyes on 100baseTX).
But when hooked back to the same, theoretically unmodified baseT1 test setup, I get weird diagonal distortion, …
