Prognose von @… sagt, dass Sonntag alle 25 Stunden die Erzeugung aus Erneuerbaren höher als die Last ist. Bis ~16:00 ist der Preis quasi bei 0. Ich glaube draußen ist Wind…

„Keine Abkopplung von China“
(Eigener Bericht) – Mit Blick auf die zunehmenden Handelskonflikte zwischen der EU und China bemüht sich Bundespräsident Frank-Walter Steinmeier auf seiner letzten Chinareise im Amt, eine weitere Eskalation der Spannungen zu verhindern. China ist dabei, seine Ausfuhren in die EU und insbesondere auch nach Deutschland in mehreren Branchen massiv zu steigern. Dies betrifft vor allem Hybridautos, aber auch Chemikalien und Maschinen. Damit werden chinesische Unternehmen zur Konkurrenz für deut…

Shoutout to all my students who patiently tolerate my use of @… 's dithered QR code generator every time I want to give them a URL in the slides.

It's a QR code, but the dots form a dithered image of a weird horned ogre head emerging from a lake in front of a kneeling woman in a headscarf.

Patrick Stewart was of course an incomparable actor in movies and shows. But in my heart he will never top the time he got stoned with Sunny Ozell and let her film him instructing us all in the quadruple take.

I needed a way to have unique, student-facing identifiers for the people taking my class to ensure that name collisions don't cause students to see each others' info.
Sure, I _could_ use their student ID number, or a regular hash. But those would be obviously inferior to writing a bespoke unicode-face-making hasher function.
Was it a good use of my time? Absolutely.

A column of faces made out of unicode characters (not emoji), like the emoticons of the web of yore. They look kinda manga-y.

I resolved this year to have my slides for my graduate level stats class do more to engage with the eugenics and elitism that forms the backbone of academic quantitative methods. I think this representation of Fisher in my lecture on logit/probit regressions today turned out nicely.
