When you are asked to make answers for security questions, avoid using the real answer. Make up one or use a random jumbo of characters.

In case someone doxxes you, they won't be able to get into your accounts via this method.

Rolled credits on #BaldursGate3 yesterday at 162 hours. The endgame was a bit of a tedious slog, and I could nitpick endlessly, but wow, what a tour de force this game is. I did do an absolutely unapologetically goody two-shoes route and it was much more satisfying than in a lot of other games where the "good" ending is a sort of bland default. For example, it's a bit tricky to do this:

I have this diagram that I want to "deep zoom" into for more detail. It's not that complex or "deep" (yet?) but already showing it as SVG in a browser is "problematic"

I can make the zoom work, but it's really pixelated and crappy until it "rests" at the new zoom level for a while.

Also Inkscape is somewhat grumpy with the file already, even on a decent desktop.

So, obviously I'm using the wrong tools (or using them wrong) -- how should I make this appear on the web?

Using Inkscape:

The collapse of South Africa's apartheid regime was in part due to boycotts (very proud that one of my city's school committee members, Caroline Hunter, helped start those boycotts, back in the day). Now Israel is starting to face the same sort of boycott in academia; it turns out killing 13,000 Gazan children in 6 months is widely unpopular.

spent some time trying to get nix to do the thing I want today and as usual the score is nix: 1, julia: 0

(later edit: after a lot of help from some very nice nix people, I won!)

In a warning today the election watchdog the Electoral Commission said voters have until midnight on Tuesday April 16 to register. While 44million are registered to vote in May's local elections as many as seven MILLION are incorrectly registered - or missing entirely from the register, check your entry on the register and amend.

This whole xz thing is pretty wild, but also seems like a big win for "open" to me (e.g. imagine if this was at a proprietary place; you'd just never hear about it, probably, but best case would be some obscure security update way too late and without all the cool details).

If you think you need #Python's multiprocessing module, you really need #Golang instead.

#Python has decent support for I/O bound concurrency with asynio, threading and concurrent.futures.

For simple, “embarrassingly parallel" CPU-bound workloads, concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor is OK.

For more complex scenarios, the multiprocessing module, pretends to be as “simple" as threading but is a monster of complexity and super hard to debug.

At this point, just use Go.

Southern Alberta has the largest irrigated area in Canada.

A billion-dollar irrigation expansion is planned.

But it's been dry lately. Water allocations have been cut.

Facing a drier and hotter future, a big question looms: 'Where's the water going to come from?'
