Did anyone read the grammar of graphics paper from Hadley Wickham? I kind of enjoyed it a lot, and got to know what’s the power source really. I’m amazed so many software libraries came to reinvent compossibility in such unergonomic ways… But it’s nice to have options.

I think I might prefer base R over matplotlib though… :p

Can you do a plot a hundred times with a hundred different datasets with these templates? Without having to apply such template to each file, just pointing to the folder with them…

To me that’s the whole point of programming, you can automatically do a thing and it doesn’t matter if it took an hour to write the code. Once you have it, you point it to the folder with all datasets, iterate over while you drink a coffee and then you have the hundreds of plots.

Indeed. Also, I am concerned about self-hosting enthusiasts that install docker (without the advance rootless mode) and blindly run containers. Sometimes these containers are even made by third parties, independent of the app developers. Unfortunately, the supply chain there is up for grabs…

Ah, my bad “again”… should have mentioned that there’s the advance configuration option that 1% of the geeks do

Docker is not rootless. Is only safe as long as the container (or those web devs) doesn’t use nsenter or anything similar to get root access outside of it ;)

Do check seaweedfs too! Haven’t tried it (yet) but their ‘erasure coding’ reads as super sophisticated to me ;)

I wonder how it compares to beegfs

I only learnt this recently, but snail depictions were ubiquitous in gothic manuscripts’ marginalia. Oftentimes, with social implications, very much like satire. The snail, being slow and seemingly harmless, simbolizes futility or absurdity of certain endeavors. There’s many interpretations among historians and art enthusiasts.

Sorry to be honest, but this is my view…

Voting between two parties, and then getting whatever the “electors” pick. All the while, thinking they live under the biggest democracy of the world.

Having all sorts of inhuman behaviors, like robbing childs from immigrants.

Child marriage.

Having lots of weapons in the country but all wars outside.

Mmm… What else? Ah, prisoners are slaves.

Precisely my thought. OP should be ashamed and delete this thread ;P

I don’t know this group but I am on a telegram group that shares movies produced in my country of origin. It’s quite niche, I never saw any tracker that does the same. I doubt it for usenet but never looked into it. Anyway, my point is that some layman uploaders use whatever is at hand and not necessarily have much preparation or technically involved solutions…

In computer science, garbage in, garbage out (GIGO) is the concept that flawed, biased or poor quality (“garbage”) information or input produces a result or output of similar (“garbage”) quality. The adage points to the need to improve data quality in, for example, programming.

There was some research article applying this 70s computer science concept to LLMs. It was published in Nature and hit major news outlets. Basically they further trained GPT on its output for a couple generations, until the model degraded terribly. Sounded obvious to me, but seeing it happen on the www is painful nonetheless…

It’s not sexist to credit the french. France is gay. /s

First post was fun. The pedantic conversation not so much, only a little because the one that comes correcting then it’s shown to be wrong.

And, chelsea manning. I’d love to see more whistleblowers in the world. That’s the kind of mass sousveillance we need!

It’s difficult to know if this might just be a correlation to age of onset, plus the effect of new project or work. Maybe other graduates of similar careers (i.e. chemists going into big pharma) that doesn’t go into PhD programmes would be a nice control. But there’s no curve there.

Alas, I know academia is difficult. But I wouldn’t dare drawing conclusions without a proper comparison.

If only you had timeshift and a CoW filesystem ;) rollbacks are easy peasy then!

Mullvad is trustworthy (imho, and because of audits).

Anyway, you can have both, and run purple i2p with blackjack and torrents!

The closest would be a folder, synchronized between phone and computer (e.g. using syncthing) where you save the torrent files. Then the client scans and automatically adds torrents from there. It will remove such files, so while at it, you should also configure to save completed torrent files somewhere. When possible, torrent files are a better option (they bring metadata, required if you ever wanted to re-share some content).
