A pug snug as a bug in a rug. Very cozy. 10/10. #Pug #Dog #ATinyLittleHouseDemon #VeryFierceButSleepy
A pug (Altdeutscher Mops) laying curled up in her owner's lap. This pug, compaired to the classical breed, has a longer nose and longer legs, allowing the pup to lead a much more healthier life.

I started raising her from corm in April this year. She has now produced corms herself. I am so proud of how she keeps growing. I had to up her pot size today. Needless to say, I am nervous. Alocasias are famous to be dramatic about it. (If she dies, I will cry. Violently.) #Alocasia #Houseplants

I'm pretty sure this is not how you're supposed to use CSI mounts, but hey - it successfully circumvents the limitations of not being able to mount subdirs w/o having to create a volume for each one 😁 #Nomad #Hashistack #CSI #Docker

Dayum! Docker builds used to take 10min but simply replacing ```sh python setup.py install ``` with ```sh uv pip install . --system ``` In my docker file resulted in the build only taking 26s!

You can reproduce the napari viz below by running this line in your terminal: ``` uv run pastebin.com/raw/2P6sLi0N ``` Why is this cool? • super compact for sharing • uv runs a self-contained script (PEP 723) directly from a URL (please inspect the code first!) • No virtual environments required

Here's a Nomad job to: - subscribe to Bsky Jetstream - filter by collections: app.bsky.* - reset cursor by 30s (in case of restarts) - filter commit msgs - use collection as subject name - create stream - use CID to deduplicate - publish to local Jetstream instance

Huh? Is it possible Kafka just loses segments sometimes? Pic 1 was live at the time (Kafka local storage). Pic2 is a replay (Kafka remote storage). Pic 3 shows that Kafka managed to write meta, but log file is 0 bytes for the missing parts???

This is pretty cool SeaweedFS allows change-data-capture at the filesystem level. Using streamz, I can hook into that and basically get a git-like commit-log of which notebooks I worked on at any given point in time. Since it's an append-only store, I also get versioning.

Man, so much compute/memory wasted on just deserializing & re-serializing data... Peaks are 5min apart (1M events for each peak). Aggregating, since it'll be easier to process downstream.

Our warming planet... so far. Graphic: zacklabe.com/climate-chan... The y-axis is latitude, and the x-axis is time. Data: data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/ using a 12-month running mean through 2023. Black areas in early years are missing data (polar).
Graph of zonal-mean surface air temperature anomalies for each latitude band from 1880 through 2023. Red shading is shown for warmer anomalies, and blue shading is shown for colder anomalies. There is a long-term warming trend for all regions.

Amazing how low Jetstream's hardware requirements are in comparison to Kafka. The same stream takes 10x more RAM on Kafka. If only Jetstream had tiered storage support...
