As a non-expert in this field, I feel we have introduced more “stochasticity”. Before, We had to deal with some human error/ misunderstanding for most part but now we have to deal with power of condensed human expertise along with homogenized flaws.

This sort of reminded me of my visit to https://www.cameramuseum.ch/en/themuseum/mission/ Camera museum in Vevey, Switzerland.

It is not very big and was difficult for me to follow as I cannot read French. Even with those language barriers on my end, it was fun way to see how photographic media evolved.

Although not very small, HHKB is my workhorse.

While it is good to have plotnine for python but ggplot2 in R has this whole ecosystem of packages/extensions that augment the ggplot2 such as ggalluvial, ggrepel. More at this link https://exts.ggplot2.tidyverse.org/gallery/ This would make it really compelling to tip my toes in the Python world. Regardless, I am liking this "ggplotification" of python. All we need is more "tidification" of Python data frame world.

I find Swiss system to be very convenient. My recent visit to the country was smooth thanks to the SBB app. It works not just for rail but also for bus, trams, and ferry. I think even some cable cars are covered. Plus there it can provide discounts or free visits to selected museums.

I almost jumped. Nice touch to the article

One of my favorite product, it just works in the background. I do not need any more features than what it has currently. None of the competitors have this ability to just blend in the background. I hope they stay for a long time.

Nicely written and I thought D3.js was very verbose and time consuming. Makes me appreciate all the computational tooling we have today.

I wonder how Mojo ranks along with Julia. Mojo was discussed yesterday here. Mojo seems to be more python focused while Julia is very much focused on Scientific computation. I may be wrong.

@onethumb Is it possible that Flickr will be integrated into SmugMug eventually or it will remain as its own branch? I know it is difficult to say for sure but some direction for near future?

I think I like about Flickr is the add a note feature. Not sure if other platforms has any similar feature but I find it helpful for me to add note on part on the photo for future reference such as place or anything peculiar.

Will this ever integrate rest of the ggplot2 dependent packages described here: https://exts.ggplot2.tidyverse.org/gallery/ in the near or distant future? Sorry if it already mentioned somewhere.

Looks intriguing. Brings plotting to Sql instead of “transforming” sql for plotting.

There was also Tiny Firewall which got bought by Computer Associates around 2005. Probably the most complicated or fine grain control for me at that time in Windows XP.

I don't hear much about Ibis here. https://ibis-project.org On paper it sounds like a good idea. Any opinion about this option.

Yes. I think Air is a better buy if you are going to have a "laptop". I wish it was lot lighter if I am losing features against MacBook Air.

This reminds me of another article I read today about Gallium.

Apple Music is ok but it is not as good on MacOS as it is on iOS. It will skip some songs sometimes and the ui is not very consistent for the player bar.

It looks nice but very "LLMsy". I liked that it specifically annotates "Lytic" vs "Lysogenic" categorization for phages. Important in terms of virome analysis. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11097211/

Wordle, Connections, Spelling Bee, and Pips (All modes) for me. Wordle is fun but Pips is very satisfying. Pips medium can sometimes be more difficult than hard one.

I agree with this. We are much missing these forums with civil replies and clouded behind "influencer" culture, which is optimized for incentives. Pure discussions as in this example are such a stalwarts of open web.

On the other hand, small websites and forums can disappear but that openness allows platform like archive.org to capture and "fossilize" them.

Notable weather iOS app that I use or have used in the past are:

May be that Python 2 to Python 3 migration was holding it back but it is remarkable that it shows positive strides or was relatively stable even within that transition period. https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/python/

"Development is the execution of a map toward a goal while research is the pursuit of a goal without a map". If there is something I can take from this post, it will be this quote.

https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/19490976.2025.2... Link to the research article. Are you referring to the news release?

Just FYI, this study was done in mice.

Lego and Sketch book with coloring pens.

Yes. It might have been errors when using Apache Spark with Apache Zeppelin notebooks. However, I must admit it was long time ago (2015-2016 era).

Have error messages improved? I remember trying it few years back but the error messages made it hard to debug. Is it due to use of JVM? Sorry for my lack of knowledge since I rarely program in JVM based languages.
