The late Monday edition of the Drop focuses on productivity tools and news sources. "btw" is a minimalist blogging platform, while the technique of using a calendar for task allocation is recommended for time management. "News Minimalist" uses a rating system for news significance. Additional text-only news sources are suggested for those who prefer lightweight news consumption.
@hrbrmstr really liked the idea of calendar planning. @tpoisot had a similar sounding post (geared to researchers writing papers and grants, but still) that was along similar lines.
I saw these cool golden mirror hexagon stickers and got all excited about making a model of the Webb telescope without thinking about WHY I’d do that so they have been on my desk for a month giving me a mix of vague excitement and slow burn anxiety— I think I will give them to one of the science teachers so I can stop worrying. I already gave them a gyroscope (which they loved)
Alternately I could make a model telescope and hang in the math office and refuse to explain why.
@hrbrmstr They say that 4.4.0 this particular exploit is fixed. I didn't see anything in the NEWS, but went digging in the source. A commit last month shows that a commit to serialize.c was made, to return an error instead of a promise.
Kind of thankful that #RStats is not a system dependency that is pretty much embedded in the OS, and that I can upgrade it even on older software (like running R 4.3.0 on Ubuntu 20 LTS) without worrying about other things depending on it.
In contrast to #python 3.6, that I'm not keen to try and force an upgrade to 3.8 so I can get access to a newer version of SciPy that exposes some underlying functionality that one of our python packages depends on.
Before anyone suggests Docker or VM, this is already a VM running on top of a cluster of machines, and it has another big project for a manuscript that is currently under review inside of it, so I'm very hesitant to break it in any way before the manuscript is completely done.
We were spoiled with 13, he will still eat most things.
10, she was picky. It's been years of work (and buying a food guide / program for picky eaters) and she is slowly finding more foods to enjoy.
6, he will throw us for a loop. Won't touch a food they enjoy at one meal, but then devour it at the next, the same day. 🤷♂️ And has stopped eating peanut butter from them getting some bread to the roof of their mouth once, six months ago.
@hrbrmstr yes it is nice. But being exhausted that first day b/c you lost an hour of sleep, not fun.
Also, why does the eastern timezone go all the way from Maine to Louisville KY?? What if the real problem with DST is that timezones are just too wide??
@LeftistLawyer 1. Yes. 2. Yes. Only once. But vaccinated as well as I can, and wear an N95 mask everywhere and avoid eating in public indoors, except for the two times I did (both within a week) and our entire family contracted COVID.
Dashboard, Typst, new cross-reference system allowing more customisation, …
What are you waiting? Time to download, upgrade, and enjoy all these new features (and bug fixes).
