Surprising twists there about the tomb having been vacated by Egyptians due to flooding with the second tomb yet to be discovered.

Ah yes! Thanks! The enhanced image does day “close up” after all! A bit lazy of me!

Very cool though! A zoomed inset in the main image would have helped I think.

I’m confused about what exactly the ring is in the image or the main image at least. There seems to be an enhanced image in the article that highlights the ring more clearly as an outer edge, which makes sense (I suppose).

But I don’t understand what I’m to make of the top image. It’s the diffuse light part of the ring?

Thank you!

How long did you cook the chic peas after the soak? I’ve heard a pressure cooker (which I don’t have and don’t think I want TBH) makes it easier and faster.

Oh wow yes! I’ve been meaning to make my own hummus, but just never get around to it even though it’s the base of most of what I eat!

That works way too fucking well I’m in stitches!

Thanks for this! I wasn’t aware a good independent fork of all of this had been set up (I’d kinda forgotten about conda-forge).

What about the package repos and conda forge? Apologies, it’s been a while since I paid attention to them (and Python packaging too). Does conda work well just against PyPI?

Oh I get you, and it’s an insight into the priorities and operation of the company. They’re clearly worried about snaring all of the “free loaders” as they move to a more extractive business model. And so there’s probably a bunch of people with licence quotas hounding anyone they can.

While I’m sure it was inevitable, especially in today’s climate, it saddens me to see Anaconda (and conda by extension I presume) go down like this. When they first came out it was such a breath of fresh air in the Python ecosystem.

I’m not sure in the details, but what’s the point in relying at all on any of their infrastructure? Is any of it independent enough?

Yea, and then being able to traverse the layers in a reasonable way when needed/desired without needing be stuck or live in one of those layers.

Working with some proprietary no code tools at the moment, and, yea, not letting people just program in a decent language is a mistake.

I’ve felt for a long time that continuous gradients of complexity with sensible defaults all along the spectrum is a general architectural pattern necessary for wide spread empowerment. But I don’t see anyone thinking in those terms. Maybe it’s just me, but it feels obvious. As you say, but everyone is going to dive into the source code. So let them find the level at which they’re comfortable.

AFAICT, this is the story of centre left politics over the past recent years (decades? Since Reagan/thatcher?).

There’s likely a whole story to be told, but I personally suspect modern academia is actually a big but easy to ignore component.

Awesome. I don’t know how, but I’m thinking the unsafe block isn’t necessary? What was causing borrow checker issues?

The down votes on this is interesting …?

Something else for general zep fans, if you haven’t given this album this track is off a listen, it may be worth your time.

Presence.

From 1976, basically the twilight of the band, and the last album Page had any real influence on (their last one was a weird Plant and Jones project in part I think cuz page was drugged up).

Whereas on Presence I think it was the opposite. It’s almost a pure Page album. Guitar driven and rocking.

Out of all of their albums, I think it might be their most cohesive and consistent.

I always come back to this track. Something truly magical about it I think. Along with some/plenty of their other tracks, a true perfection of 70s rock.

Oh yea I hear you.

Just recently read your 2017 article on the different parts of the “Free Network”, where it was new to me just how much the Star Trek federation was used and invoked. So definitely interesting to see that here too!

Aesthetically, the fedigram is clearly the most appealing out of all of these. For me at least.

It seems though that using the pentagram may have been a misstep given how controversial it seems to be (easy to forget if you’re not in those sort of spaces). I liked the less pentagram styled versions at the bottom. I wonder if a different geometry could be used?
