“My message to the Arab world, particularly to the Gulf, is where are you? Because they’re making billions each day on oil revenues. A tiny fraction of those oil revenues would see UNRWA’s financial problems disappear overnight. This unconscionable gap inflicted by these Western countries would be filled very quickly,” Gunness told Al Jazeera.
“Some of the most desperate people in the Middle East are now facing starvation, they’re facing famine, and the Arab states need to step up to the plate.”
Which countries have cut funding to UNRWA, and why?
currently listening to The Real #Python Podcast ep 189
I've never really been into coding podcasts but having tried this - it seems generally useful as passive listening and then paying attention to useful items.
hoping to record a YouTube video next week talking about the Distance Estimation (by gradient) Method for rendering finer detail in Julia and Mandelbrot fractals

The 2nd Edition of "Make Your Own Mandelbrot" is out!
✅ updated to #Python 3
✅ #fractals → easy #maths → DIY #python
✅ expts in filters, 3d landscapes
✅ new chapter on Distance Estimation Methods for very detailed renders (see cover image)
✅ all code #opensource on GitHub
initially I didn't like the idea of python virtual environments (my head is still 10 years in the past) but I can see they make sense when packages and combinations are so risky.
but common combinations just fail - even the very famous realpython's tutorials don't work !
and simple things like "upgrade all pip packages" seems like a difficult task.
I'm very pleased with this, today. This sketch built upon some earlier "arrow works", but now with some 3D. I'm sure that having gone for some swimming today improved my creative powers :) #Processing#Python#py5
