I think we kinda misunderstand what the other person is saying/what they imagine the outcome to be. There’s a crass culture difference here.

In the UK (and presumably most other European countries) the police would 100% escalate things if they see someone with a gun near a large aggregation of people. Carrying guns like that is simply illegal and the only reasonable deduction is that you carry a gun because you want to use it - i.e. you are about to commit murder.

Police violence against protesters is usually limited to water cannons and tear gas, maybe rubber bullets. Protester violence is rare, sometimes throwing rocks, maybe Molotov cocktails and burning cars.

By and large guns don’t provide security.

There are a lot more creative ways to protest violently though!

No, because you can’t mathematically guarantee that pi contains long strings of predetermined patterns.

The 1.101001000100001… example by the other user was just that - an example. Their number is infinite, but never contains a 2. Pi is also infinite, but does it contain the number e to 100 digits of precision? Maybe. Maybe not. The point is, we don’t know and we can’t prove it either way (except finding it by accident).

The YouTube channel looking glass universe (highly recommended!) also has a video on how alphafold works.

You should report it to the Bundesnetzagentur, spam calls are illegal.

Server’s down :(

Eh, I did alias cat to bat, it fd is just easier to type and a million times better than find.

Fair enough. Dithering would still be an option though. But if it’s not done I agree there can be visible stripes in some cases.

Also I wanted to apologize for the negative wording in my above comment. That was uncalled for, even if I think HDR is totally not worth it at the moment.

Yes? But that’s already explicitly warned about.

At work I had to fill out a form which threats to my health could impact me. Next to chemicals or radiation, working at a desk for more than x hours a day was also listed as a potential source of bodily harm.

I have never seen banding before, the image seems specifically picked to show the effect. I know it’s common when converting to less than 256 but color, e.g. if you turn images into svgs for some reason, or gifs (actual gifs, not video)

Also dithering exists.

Anyway, it’ll surely be standard at some point in the future, but it’s very much a small quality improvement and not something one definitely needs.

A basic image is really easy. It’s basically just

Dockerfile

FROM debian  # start with a minimal Linux system. There are probably better options than debian. Some images are made especially for docker (i.e. very minimal and light weight). 
RUN apt install dependencies  # do what ever you need to get your app running. 
RUN echo "options and stuff" >> /etc/a/config/file  # you can also edit system files
COPY . /app  # copy your project into the docker container.
EXPOSE 8080  # doesn't actually do anything, but documents where the app will be listening
CMD server-binary run /app/main.php  # I have actually no idea how php server stuff works

(Docs https://docs.docker.com/reference/dockerfile/)

Then people can run your project with docker.

Edit: checking the readme some small changes would be required. Config.php should read in environment variables and the DB init SQL should be run automatically somehow.

REST server and ORM python code

Fair enough, that can be achieved with pure python.

You tried your best, but the actual link form is [email protected]

A new database specifically designed for financial transactions.

I’m not an expert on finance software, so I can’t critically assert how good they really are. But they claim much much higher throughput than traditional databases, higher fault tolerance, self healing networks if several replicas are running, etc.
From a purely technical standpoint it’s interesting for being written in zig. Because the database scope is so narrow they know exactly how much memory they will need on startup and just allocate all required memory on startup and never allocate more, nor free the aquired memory.

They never would have been able to get the same performance from any solution that incorporates a general purpose database.

Their requirements/explicitly-not-required-ments include that it’s fine to drop 1s of data. That would be an insane proposition for any other database. Also their read/write rates and latency requirements are unusual to say the least.

It’s the same thing as tiger beetle. Ridiculously narrow domains allow for ridiculous performance improvements compared to of-the-shelf solutions.

They really could allow more short options in the help text though. I know that --six-word-option-that-is-really-long does what I want. I need to know if it’s -p, -o, -f or whatever!

Yes, python is between java (long compiles, faster execution) and perl (no compiles, slower execution). No, it won’t change that, because it’s pretty successful the way it is now.

And yes, cffi is pretty dang sweet. Tons of scientific research runs on Numpy and pandas.

This is the way.

Install tiling wm, because I can’t without anymore. Install a DE, because I actually like the discoverability of graphical settings programs.

Whenever I read Mötley Crüe I have to think of this:

When we finally went to Germany, the crowds were chanting, “Mutley Cruh! Mutley Cruh! “ We couldn’t figure out why the fuck they were doing that.

League of Legends Arcane is pretty damn good though!
