I haven't looked at Perl in years, having long ago switched to Python/SciPy, but now I see that Perl 6 doesn't have GIL, something that Python has been unable to shed. So now a language that nobody cares about anymore solves

It's been refreshing moving the majority of my messaging to Telegram with a bit of Signal on the side. No worries about what platform people are using or that our data is being mined and sold to advertisers. Using iMessage is pretty mu

Facebook gets closer to reading your mind. FTFY.

No, they just don't want to leak the message contents to your notification screen.

Much depends on your threat model. Telegram is plenty good for keeping your conversations out of the hands of Facebook and Google, and the user experience with synching messages/drafts between devices and editing/deleting of messa

A map() function that isn't just an iterated fork() would be glorious. Let me launch a thread team like in OpenMP to tackle map() calls containing SciPy routines and I'll be unreasonably happy.

Yikes—this makes me cringe having written CUDA and OpenMP code.

What's the state of threading in OCaml? Can I do a multithreaded map() or reduce()?

ExifTool is the standard app for playing with photo metadata: https://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/ Looks like Facebook is adding IPTC field Original Transmission Reference, which you can view with: exift

> Pulling out my phone to tap out an SMS when I have a full keyboard in front of me seems silly at this point. Responding to SMS encourages people to keep using it.

Time Machine refuses to back up to APFS volumes at present.

Can you back to an APFS volume yet, or does it need to be HFS+?

True. The closer shots sadly also have a plastic look from noise reduction. I'm sure that a decent raw converter will get much better results out of the files.

Meh, there's terrible smearing of details in the leaves, grass, and stone due to clumsy noise reduction. It will be interesting to see what a decent raw converter can do with files from the camera.

Why not wear cameras 24/7? Seems like a simple solution?

Telegram at least keeps your conversations out of the hands of Facebook, Google, and the like, which is most of concern these days.

I've all but dropped off Facebook but made an Instagram account earlier this year and am enjoying it. The photo-centric nature seems to eliminate 99% of the toxicity of Facebook. I've subscribed to the accounts of friends, archite

The SciPy stack got me into Python and it making it hard to leave despite becoming 100% fed up with Python's GIL. I need to port some signal processing code I prototyped in Python to Java for a customer, and a survey of libraries for J

Who in their right mind would give Facebook their phone number in the first place? Seriously…did people not expect Facebook to sell it to anyone with two pennies to rub together?

Imagine giving Facebook your phone number LOL.
