Krugman:
❝What we’re looking at now isn’t the worst job market college graduates have ever seen. It is, however, the worst such market compared with workers in general that we’ve ever seen, by a large margin.
…
We have low overall unemployment, only slightly above historic lows, but unemployment among college graduates between 22 and 27 at recession-like levels.
This has never happened before.❞

Interesting background on Spain’s grid blackout. A series of small issues and manual fixes that made it worse…. Recovery in a few hours was impressive. Overall that sounds like a fairly typical outage to me. https://arstechnica.com/science/2025/0

The amount of pointless, useless, overly-complex indirection I see in so many well-established, popular projects makes me very sad.
Except when I am trying to debug it; then it makes me very angry.

I did a test run for riding down to Riverwest24 next weekend.
I've never done this route, and any previous rides to the lake have been in a group. (Hello Scrappy Hour!) Center was a bit better than North, even though North has some better bike lakes in some parts (and worse in others) but overall drivers on North were much worse than on Center.
See all you punks and bike people next Saturday!
AWR6843 focus stacked dataset at 100x stitching now.
11663 tiles, downsampled from 1992 x 1992 to 498 x 498. This should give a final resolution of 188 nm/pix, so we're still very slightly oversampled from the ~300nm theoretical optical resolution of the objective.
Raw dataset is 46.27 Gpix, down to 2.892 Gpix after downsampling. Given the 30% tile overlap we're probably looking at about a 1.4 Gpix final stitch.
The pace and scale of Afghans returning from Iran are overwhelming already fragile support systems, a senior U.N. official warned Tuesday,
with tens of thousands of people crossing the border daily exhausted and traumatized, relying on humanitarian aid.
So far this year, more than 1.4 million people have returned or been forced to return to Afghanistan, including over 1 million from Iran.
Iran and Pakistan in 2023 launched separate campaigns to expel foreigners they said we…
