tl;dr: A long list of what I used to replace iOS apps when I switched to GrapheneOS. In the last year or so I’ve been working on taking back control over my means of computation, starting with my main computer, but also where I host my code and how I host some of the things I use.

This question can hardly be answered in one sentence. In English, we speak of “data literacy”, i.e. the ability to read and write data.

Und was ist mit „Daten“ gemeint?

Im Jahr 2024 unterstützte der Publikationsfonds des Landes Brandenburg Open-Access-Publikationen von Wissenschaftler*innen aus verschiedenen Fachbereichen. Diese Titel repräsentieren eine breite Palette von Disziplinen und sind Zeugnis der vielfältigen Forschungslandschaft des Landes. Zurzeit bringen wir Ihnen einige dieser Veröffentlichungen in unserem Blog näher.

How to Enhance Disaster Early Warnings with Tech Tools

Hello all, I’ve been working on a bigger post here, which I think should be out next week. What I’ve been trying to do is think through the point at which the integrated spectacle of pure simulation we live online spirals into an increasingly precarious materiality.

With the sunsetting of Equinix Metal I've also been migrating the Recoil machines over to new hosts in Mythic Beasts. This time around, rather than manually setting up services, I've turned to a nice new tool called Komodo which helps with deploying Docker containers across multiple servers. Unlike many other container management solutions, Komodo is refreshingly simple.

I look at the rise and fall of the British and US empires, measured in terms of their share of world energy consumption.

The post The Half Life of Empire appeared first on Economics from the Top Down.

Introduction In today's data-driven research landscape, the ability to connect, query, and extract insights from interconnected research data is more valuable than ever. In this blog post, we'll explore how to build REST APIs using Flask and Neo4j to expose research network data in an accessible way.

Introduction Google recently rolled out Gemma 3 , the latest generation of its popular Gemma open model family.

This is an update of a Recap retrosynthetic tree blog post to programmatically annotate the diagram. Previously, I exported the drawing from the RDKit and manually annotated the it with another program. After reading Greg Landrum’s RKDit blog post Drawing on drawings, I wanted to automate annotating the tree.
