Yes, the only reason this isn't happening in other distros is simply popularity.

Namespacing is the solution, and as mentioned in the article some ditros do indeed have namespaced user repos, like Fedora's Copr. The trust model of a flat namespace user repo is completely broken when the maintaining user can change at any moment.

Very cool. I tried using PNG compression, it does actually do better, slightly:

    PNG : ~15.1 seconds, 83% accuracy
I also tried dropping in zstandard compression:
    Zstd (level=3) : ~3.5 seconds, 88% accuracy
Much faster than gzip, at least. And iff I use (x1-x2)*2 instead of x1+x2 to calculate Cx1x2 that pushes zstd up to 93% accuracy.

I'm somewhat interested in the fact that if I stack the two arrays on top of each other instead of adding them together, I get absolutely garbage performance (<20%), however as far as I can tell that actually works well when classifying strings.

I think the Guardian article mixes this up slightly. In the linked journal article they describe how when she initially presented with her symptoms she was treated with prednisolone, causing the immunosupression.

edit: and they note in the conclusion that the immunosuppression may be what allowed the migration to the brain

Possible but untested. You may be interested to see this recent study that draws a mechanistic link (broadly, microglial inflammation) between the symptoms of long covid and "chemobrain" following chemotherapy [0]. The authors do suggest treatments proposed to restore cognition post-chemotherapy may also be applicable to long covid, e.g. metformin [1].

No worries. That one is a little harder. My understanding is that libinput doesn't handle kinetic scrolling at all[0], it is now implemented at the toolkit level. For Firefox, the "hold" gesture to stop kinetic scrolling is blocked on either the required event being backported to GTK3 or Firefox being ported to GTK4[1]. My only suggestion for the time being is to try scrolling back a tiny bit in the opposite direction rather than tapping. Works for me, lol.

Wine 7.0 5 years ago

So as a Wine end-user, it looks like this release means no more having to have multiple wineprefixes to support both 32/64 bit applications, and also no more need to ensure libraries like libpng zlib etc are installed, either 32 or 64 bits? That seems quite nice.

No More Coffee 6 years ago

I used to experience late day crashes and headaches quite frequently, and also chalked that up to excessive coffee intake. However, as someone who also spent little time in the kitchen (thinking I didn't have time for it), it turned out to be my haphazard style of intermittent fasting that was giving me the headaches. Now I spend no more than an hour or so each night making food with leftovers for lunch the following day, and my life has improved phenomenally. YMMV but I still drink plenty of coffee.

How to learn D3.js 7 years ago

For anyone confused by the link - Cytoscape confusingly exists as both a javascript library and a Java desktop application. Cytoscape the desktop application is a very biology-focused network visualization/analysis platform, whereas Cytoscape.js is a pretty general purpose network/graph library. You can find Cytoscape.js at [https://js.cytoscape.org/].

Making their tracking data useless is kind of the point of the extension. Obviously it's well within Google's interests to stop people using it. I guess if you're privacy minded it's probably best not to use a browser made by a giant ad company.
