Re:Published a Book –> Talk Python in Production

I came to this comment section to say exactly that.
At my work (university research lab) the Ph.D. students have to publish their thesis as a book to defend their degree. They are free to make the image for the cover, which is a very nice touch ang give you artistic freedom in what was supposed to be one of the most important moments of your career (I went for a picture of the chip I designed during my research).
For the past 3 years or so all we have are generic AI generated sciency-looking figures at the cover and it is depressing.

I do two very expensive hobbies: Triathlon and Astrophotography
I've never bought flagship gear, and I often buy second hand. This is the way.

One year for now, would I be able to see the curiosity from today as well?

I remember doing this on Paint to rotate a image.

Thanks for the link
Ask HN: How to Learn C in 2022?
Hi all,I know very basic C from doing Arduino coding, but I want to gather a deeper understanding, including how to struct a [non-Arduino] project, how to debug, what are the correct types to use, etc.Any suggestion?

As a photonics engineer, I'm more impressed by the 55-mode fibre than anything else

I was intrigued by the claim of coupling without a spot size converter. But then I see that they are using a 3um thick silicon slab for the waveguide patterning.
I'm used to work in the 220nm CMOS based SOI slab, and It's virtually impossible to couple (even more in a laser cavity!) a GaSb mode to a the silicon mode without a spot size converter.

Yeah, I have a hard pass on anything that offers an "Open Source" version, but actually meant to be a "Try it and be my Guinea Pig".
Re:I was terrified of an eyeball injection

I had 3 shots of Avastin to fix a neovascularization in my retina [1] around the end of 2010.
I have to say, it's not a very pleasant treatment. I vividly remember the image of the needle inside my eyeball and the liquid squeezing in (Avastin has a refractive index slightly different than the vitreos). But at least now I have a cool icebreaker when I get my flu shot every now and then :D

I'm enjoying it, but the lack of documentation is frustrating.
