Is there anyone running a Netherlands #panoramax?

I just rode my bike through Kinderdijk with a couple of GoPros

I have also created a uv venv but did not run uv init at the top level outside of the child repos.

I see that using uv add in the repos will affect the current repo and not whatever environment is active.

Is this a good way to approach this, or is there a better way?

#python

I am building several related python repos (api layer, web ui layer, client library, data types library) and I'm using VScode and UV.

I would like to have a single uv venv for the whole project so I can run code wherever as I make changes in the repos simultaneously. For each repo I have run uv init and uv venv to create the pyproject.toml, and I've added the github repos as necessary.

It is finally here: the second episode of Still Going Home, the series previously known as Long Way Home!

Obviously, I lied when I said I would go home. But where will I end up instead?

Only one way to find out: youtube.com/watch?v=7t7PSIxny_

Tinkering with local terrain sparked my memory of this one. A trail running route, synthwave style! Data from elevation.fsdf.org.au and my GPS watch.

"Information" from #ChatGPT when prompted to explain why Berlin is brighter than Chicago in one browser window, compared to when promoted to explain why Chicago is brighter than Berlin in a different browser's window.

This is why I hate when journalists write about "hallucination".

Every single text it generates is just a made up plausible combination of letters. It's just a variant of the idea of a thousand monkeys typing on a thousand typewriters that's more efficient than the monkeys at generating plausible text.

1. Lighting Infrastructure and Urban Design

Berlin's lighting infrastructure and urban design contribute to its brightness in nighttime imagery. The city employs a mix of lighting technologies, including high-pressure sodium lamps which emit a characteristic orange hue, and newer LED lights. In contrast, Chicago predominantly uses LED street lighting, which emits a whiter light. The combination of older sodium lamps and the specific urban layout in Berlin may result in higher light emission per capita compared to Chicago earthdatanasagov 9 vox.com3.Lighting Technology and Infrastructure:

» Chicago, like many U.S. cities, uses traditional street lighting, which tends to be much brighter than LED lighting—which has been adopted more extensively in Europe, including in Berlin. LED lights are more energy-efficient and produce less light pollution, which contributes to their lower intensity in nighttime images.

The title of the meme is: when mom calls you by full name. A image showing the common name "WiFi" with its technical full name "IEEE 802.11x". Below "WiFi" is a speech bubble saying "Fuck", implying the panic of a child called by their full name by their mother.

Everyone will not just

If your solution to some problem relies on “If everyone would just…” then you do not have a solution. Everyone is not going to just. At not time in the history of the universe has everyone just, and they’re not going to start now.
