@everton137 Thank you! This looks like good information, and I publicized that web page to people who read what I write on Mastodon.
@RonSupportsYou I'm glad it helped. :)

The author had previously committed very questionable code that inserted random sleeps to 'fix' problems & I'd managed to talk him out of that. I guess that should've been a warning already.
@bert_hubert Wait, It’s all slop now? 🔫 Always has been.
I find that some folks were sloppin’ before the slop machines arrived, and are therefore super eager to adopt the slop machines so they can slop some more.
Another explainer. This time with more about what could happen in Europe next winter. Stormy and wet start, ending with snow and cold, and another heatwave summer of 2027. Although this is the first time I hear this and I didn't see it on the maps showing areas with wet and dry conditions. But still Europe will probably be the least effected area.
DW News: *A historic El Niño is forming. Here's why scientists are worried*
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dcl5Mn373Oc
"The UK's Met Office says this year's El Niño could unleash extreme weather, the likes of which the world has not seen in a century. The results could be record-breaking global temperatures in 2027 and a raft of natural disasters. DW's Sarah Kelly talks about the weather phenomenon with Liz Bentley, Chief Executive of the Royal Meteorological Society in the UK and President of the European Meteorological Society."
After USA Union we get Back to the Roots, which is a wild goddamn album.
This 18 track double LP from 1971 features, of course, Harvey Mandel, but it also features Mick Taylor (actively performing with the Rolling Stones at the time), Eric Clapton (recorded, as far as I can tell, while he was touring with Derek and the Dominos, just before he fell into the worst of his heroine abuse) Johnny Almond (for the first time in a couple of records) and Sugarcane Harris again.
It's a big sweeping thing, and uneven. Bits of it are *very* good, bits of it are preachy (he never could resist being preachy), it nicely fuses some of his early career style with some of the understated work he'd become known for, while also leaving room for his various guitarists and other contributors to show off.
It's a good record.
Then we get Memories.
Memories is probably the most personal album Mayall released (seconded by Bare Wires.) This record features a 3 piece, with Jerry McGee and Larry Taylor, and no percussion.
I think it marks the first (the only?) time Mayall sang about his time in the Korean war, but somehow he does that it the most uptempo track on the record.
It's ... a sincere record. It has some really great moments on it, but it struggles to find a tone and while it is lyrically Mayall's most personal record, it also features some of his weakest songwriting.
McGee is perhaps more well known for his work with "surf rock" band The Ventures.
Most folks, myself included, would consider Memories a low point.

I find it strange that this needs to be said but:
Automating biases, especially while removing accountability, is an absolutely horrible idea for the future of humanity.
Faster decisions doesn't mean better decisions, and we should definitely focus on the latter rather than the former.
COME ON
Researchers in our community often find operators reluctant to provide real-world data for scientific studies.
"people don't want to let us snoop on all their users' traffic"
For this effort, we work with five operational environments that all have agreed to instrumenting their networks for recording and exporting information we extract from their traffic in real-time, with full payload access for the analysis application.

Just some automated security fixes. Development has not ceased. Will resume soon. #nanopub #snakemake
hm, according to https://pepy.tech/projects/snakemake-report-plugin-nanopub?timeRange=threeMonths&category=version&includeCIDownloads=true&granularity=weekly&viewType=line&versions=Total%2C0.* there are more than 1.5 thousand downloads. Over all versions and all CI downloads - but I have not been releasing and testing that much. Only installed once or twice with PyPI. And there are hardly any #nanopublications made with this plugin (yet). So, what is this figure telling me?
