saboot

I use wired headphones, and I'll get an electric discharge from my inner ear and through my earbuds when I get up from my chair.

It's not painful, but feels like pop rocks in my ear canal.

Reminds me of the days when you could look up public camera feeds with a specific string in a google search. Some of the camera pages had controls! Spent a day with friends in a college dorm scrolling through them.

ctrl+f "national lab" = 0 results

Hello? We have 17(!) federally funded national labs, full of scientists doing the work this article waxes nostalgic about. Through the Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) program they afford employee scientists the ability to pursue breakthrough research. However, they are facing major reductions in funding now due to the recent CR and the upcoming congressional budget!

This has piqued my interest, which vendors are using an open source stack?

The article is from January 13 .. why post it now?

I recently made the switch to linux full time as well. Even small things, like my computer taking three seconds from clicking Shutdown to turning off, is such a relief compared to Win11.

attrs looks interesting, can it be used in workflows for processing GBs of data? I don't see any Cython compatibility or other Python to compiled code options. I typically just get by with numpy recarrays, but I'm old fashioned and looking for something more modern.

Hurry up, not much time left for that either.

It's not even years of precedent, they contradicted themselves on this decision today in their separate ruling on allowing public sleeping bans. Roberts said "Why would you think that these nine people are the best people to judge and weigh those policy judgements?". SCOTUS follows tradition when it suits their lobbied interests, and disregards tradition if it contradicts them.
