Looks like the upgrade instructions for PHP 8.3 for Fedora 39 and earlier are not working ... yikes.
Re:Google releases its new Google Sans Flex font as open source
on Friday December 12, 2025 @03:20PM (#46248368)
I've tried so many fonts in my coding life, but I think I've finally found my forever font: JetBrains Mono. Crisp, all characters distinguishable, slightly larger lowercase for better reading ...
I recently compared it once more to others – https://www.programmingfonts.org/ makes it easy to narrow down to your favourites one by one ... JetBrains Mono still wins. :)

They've figured out how to detect and cut off the flowers. No solution to picking the threads yet.

A couple of years ago I trained some ResNets to detect saffron flowers and their stigmas and then simulated the picking process in Blender. One would have to develop a suitable soft gripper and use a precise pick-and-place robotic arm (delta robots are great for this), but IMHO the amount of manual labour during harvest can be solved with today's technology.

LOL I just played through Lemmings in one of those DosBox emulators a few days ago ... so much fun!! The music alone brought back some good memories.

If they can't tell whether you'll be a good fit after the screening interview, the tech panel interview, and the interview with the hiring manager and who else, then that says more about the company than about you.
