Why did we sign an agreement at #COP27    that is a watering down on had been agreed at #COP26, and counter-cycle with what science proves to be needed, is beyond my comprehension.

I’m trying to switch from Konversation to irssi. Let’s see how that goes. Any irssiers out there who can recommend specific settings or scripts? I already got myself trackbar.pl and nickcolor.pl as super-essentials. Also trying window_switcher.pl. Somehow my custom binds for Ctrl+1/2/3/etc. to switch to window 1/2/3/etc. doesn’t do anything: { key = "^1"; id = "change_window"; data = "1"; } (I cannot use the default with Alt as this is handled by my window manager). Currently, I’m just cycling with Ctrl+N/P. Other things to solve in the near future:

• better, more colorful and compact theme (just removed clock from statusbar so far)
  
• getting bell/urgency hints working on arriving messages
  
• nicer tabs in status bar, maybe even just channel names and no indexes
  
• decluster status bar with user and channel modes (I never cared about those in the last decade)

With my non-electric bike I did today a 30 km tour through an area where I have not cycled often. I rode mainly along two canals. Fortunately, there was plenty of sun shade, even though I was prepared and well creamed with suntan lotion. ⌘ Read more

Why do Some Minorities Support the US Republican Party?
[Sponsored Article]

In contemporary US politics, the Democratic Party is often regarded as the most welcoming to racial minority groups. Even so, each election cycle sees many members of these groups cast their vote for the Republican Party. In 2016, for example, Chinese Americans from the East Coast to Silicon Valley organised rallies for Republican candidates. Even thoug … ⌘ Read more

PEP 690: Lazy Imports
This PEP proposes a feature to transparently defer the execution of imported modules until the moment when an imported object is used. Since Python programs commonly import many more modules than a single invocation of the program is likely to use in practice, lazy imports can greatly reduce the overall number of modules loaded, improving startup time and memory usage. Lazy imports also mostly eliminate the risk of import cycles. ⌘ Read more

It doesn’t take long before the high performers on those teams get sick of picking up the slack. The high performers move on to companies that care, while the team’s output continues to decline as everyone pushes the boundaries of how little work they can get away with. Eventually management wonders why certain teams have so many people but so little output, “restructuring” occurs to trim the slackers, and the hiring cycle starts again to build the teams back up.

My USB power brick says to cycle the charge in it every so often, so I had it keep my iPad powered up away from any outlet. Fully drained it and plugged it in to a powered-off computer to recharge. Overnight, it’s only recharged…halfway. Didn’t expect the recharge to be this slow.

Why is programming fun? What delights may its practitioner expect as his reward? First is the sheer joy of making things. As the child delights in his mud pie, so the adult enjoys building things, especially things of his own design. I think this delight must be an image of God’s delight in making things, a delight shown in the distinctness and newness of each leaf and each snowflake. Second is the pleasure of making things that are useful to other people. Deep within, we want others to use our work and to find it helpful. In this respect the programming system is not essentially different from the child’s first clay pencil holder “for Daddy’s office.” Third is the fascination of fashioning complex puzzle-like objects of interlocking moving parts and watching them work in subtle cycles, playing out the consequences of principles built in from the beginning. The programmed computer has all the fascination of the pinball machine or the jukebox mechanism, carried to the ultimate. Fourth is the joy of always learning, which springs from the nonrepeating nature of the task. In one way or another the problem is ever new, and its solver learns something: sometimes practical, sometimes theoretical, and sometimes both. Finally, there is the delight of working in such a tractable medium. The programmer, like the poet, works only slightly re- moved from pure thought-stuff. He builds his castles in the air, from air, creating by exertion of the imagination. Few media of creation are so flexible, so easy to polish and rework, so readily capable of realizing grand conceptual structures. (As we shall see later, this very tractability has its own problems.)
