Been working on a dashboard that takes in a bunch of different public data sources in different formats and pandas has truly been a godsend for this.
I've got csv, txt, xlsx in all different shapes and sizes and with just a few settings I can go through them quite easily and very fast as well.

This sounds like the beginning of a Horror movie, but also colors me hopeful for a future where people born with my mothers disease (SCA) will have some kind of cure to halt or revert the loss of brain tissue ?

I've been in Luxembourg many times on our way from Belgium to France or Germany, but only last year I visited it for the first time. We did one of the Mullertal trails in 3 days and it's an absolutely beautiful little country.

Sketch also used this model for a long time. You pay for a year of updates, and you can keep the last version you got forever.
Recently they started to add more cloud/collaboration services/a web app and switched to a regular old subscription model, but you can bet your ass i'm staying on the legacy model for as long as I can.

Hell I park my car in an underground parking garage, and it's been a whole discussion about who wants to and how they want to install 7kW/11/kW chargers. In the meantime I just charge it on the wall plug now and then. Yeah sometimes my battery is not fully charged, but I hardly ever drive 450km in one go anyway.

The most important reason that I'm somewhat of a treehugger is because trees are just nice. Walking in a forest is nice, taking my dog for a walk outside in nature is nice, hearing the birds chirp is nice too.

Re:Docker for Mac M1 RC
on Friday March 19, 2021 @06:38AM (#26511831)
I'm running a bunch of Drupal sites in docker on a M1 macbook Air and it's running much much faster than docker for mac on the 2014 Macbook Pro I had before. The docker images we're using (wodby-drupal) only recently started supporting arm64 properly though so I had the new laptop a few weeks before it was actually usable but now I'm very happy.
Haven't been able to run a php 5.3 container yet though for this one project that is pretty much on life support.

Anecdotal annoyance with automatic face tagging: Old dog and new dog look very similar. Google keeps tagging my new dog as if he were my old dog and I haven't found a way to fix that without manually going through every single picture and untagging/retagging.

This brought back a long lost memory of when before we had internet at home. My dad took me to an internet cafe and I had printed a whole list beforehand of sites I wanted to visit. I had just guessed a bunch of random domain names based on my interests and things I thought would have a cool website. Stuff like porshe.com, titanic.com, mountainbiking.com, spaceshuttle.com.
