  1. Il me semblait que les malaises voyageurs ne devaient plus impacter le trafic car les victimes étaient débarquées à une station en attendant les secours. Mais dans les faits ce n’est pas le cas.

  4. As I mentioned the other day, I really wanted an ultra-simple way to declare the contents of a slideshow presentation without getting sucked deep into Node.js hell.

    So, I now have a #Python / #YAML / #markdown / #bash / #ImageMagick tool that does what I need and pretty much nothing more.

    The code is in a @Codeberg repository: codeberg.org/dhobern/presentat

    The YAML definition for my upcoming presentation is here: codeberg.org/dhobern/presentat

    And here is the PDF generated from the YAML: codeberg.org/dhobern/presentat

  6. Americans in their 40s and 50s are more depressed and forgetful, and weaker, than those of previous generations, and most of their peers in Europe. Education is no longer protective. Stress and financial insecurity are thought to be responsible.

  8. Why is #JavaScript so popular? I hate everything about it.

    I'm speaking at the #Canberra Field #Naturalists meeting at #ANU next month on #Malaise trapping and the #insects and other #invertebrates that surround us without our noticing them.

    I expect most of my slides to be arrays of four or six #microscope images with a header (probably a family name in most cases) and captions for each image.

    I don't want to lay out all these images in #LibreOffice (or any similar presentation tool) because I'm a perfectionist and getting it all tidy will take forever.

    So, I decided to try out #Slidev, #Marp and other #Markdown-based presentation tools. The Markdown part is very appealing, but they all lean hard into JavaScript. That would be fine so long as I don't have to think about that side of things.

    Slidev's AppleBasic theme seemed to be the best starting point, so I started hacking it to add som extra gridded image views. Plain image grids were not too challenging, but I really want captions for each image, so I started trying to understand how the templates use the forest of underlying JS libraries and CSS artefacts to produce the displayed slides.

    Frankly, the whole thing is so opaque and would take me much longer to understand than preparing multiple presentations by hand would.

    Then I realised I can use #montage on the command line to produce the kind of layouts I want, and I can script #exiftool to extract and prepare the captions which will save time.

    So, my new plan is to write a #Python script that processes a #YAML file listing all the slides, titles and image paths. It can generate PNG images that are close to the target 1920*1080 size (give or take a little). I'll then use LibreOffice for a couple of more text-oriented or irregular slides, export those and combine all the images into a PDF.

    I'm sure this will be way faster than battling Node.js. Not sure why I felt I had to write it up.

  10. Four (parasitic) #wasps (#Hymenoptera) from a SLAM #Malaise sample in #Canberra #Australia over the last three weeks. Natural areas everywhere are (or should be) full of beautiful #insects like these, all just going about their business.

    A #FairyWasp in the genus #Mymar - the first I have seen here in the nominate genus - see how tiny this #insect is.

    An #ichneumon wasp (#Ichneumonidae) in the subfamily #Campopleginae - probably possible to get this one to genus, but most Australian species are unnamed.

    #Vosleria australia (or at least that's the only named Australian species in the genus) - family #Encyrtidae

    #Anastatus, unknown species - family #Eupelmidae

    >> Replace "people" above with "nation states"

    >> Pull THAT linchpin to unravel EVERYTHING about Trump since his dalliance with #Russia near the end of the #SovietUnion.

    THAT lynchpin also unravels what's really behind the current #malaise afflicting the #US.

    #USSR is about to be resurrected — Only this time the abbreviation will mean "#UnitedStates Serving #Russia"

    They've corrupted #Democrats and #Republicans alike

    WHO adopts #landmark #pandemic #agreement
    "after more than 3 years of negotiations sparked by shock of #Covid19.. Countries still hv to thrash out details of agreement's Pathogen Access & Benefit-Sharing (PABS) mechanism. Once #PABS system is finalised, e agreement can then be #ratified by members, with 60 #ratifications required for treaty to enter into force"

  15. Pourquoi la gauche et notamment LFI restent bien discrets face aux réquisitions contre Sarkozy. Médiapart rappelle l'affaire Cahuzac au PS, les soupçons d'emploi fictif visant Roussel et l'affaire Chikirou qui vise Mélenchon, pas le derniers à critiquer les juges. Le patron des Insoumis est d'ailleurs lui-même soupçonné d'avoir employé deux assistants parlementaires européens pour le parti mediapart.fr/journal/politique

  17. ''Earlier, on March 29, the SHOT Telegram channel reported that an unknown virus had appeared in Russia that causes coughing up #blood and high #fever. The authors noted that the #symptoms of those infected are the same - it all starts with a slight #malaise, but after a few days the condition worsens and can remain so for several weeks.''

  20. Les jours fériés et après minuit, c'était moi la Vendeuse Méchante qui vous recevait avec un sourire crispé comme ça 😊 😊 😊 et qui vous toisait de haut en bas avec le sourcil relevé comme la pire vendeuse de chez Chanel. (il s'avère que Vendeuse Méchante fait aussi du chiffre d'affaire, qui l'eut cru dans un rayon BDSM?)
    Mes pires clients c'était ceux qui avaient des dégaines de twittos gauchistes à qui je faisais des supers présentations "Spéciales jours fériés, sponsorisées par le macronisme 🥰 "

  22. I ran a #Malaise trap for a couple of years in my front garden in #Aranda, ACT and am finally processing the last couple of months of samples. Here are some insects from 17-24 Feb 2023.

    Tiny #ant: I think, Crematogaster sp.

    Megastigmid #wasp: Bootanomyia sp.

    Reddish #longhorn #beetle: Epithora dorsalis

    Dark brown longhorn beetle: Phoracantha punctata

  24. Having a very mentally taxing day today. Everything is just a little bit not right in a way that causes unease and anxiety. Frustratingly unactionable mood.

  25. No context snippet I overheard on my walk today from two other people's conversation:

    "I don't know. The bad news is all bad, and even the good news just isn't good anymore."

    No idea what they were talking about, but damn, if that isn't a mood.

  26. “Symptoms of #LongCovid range from the profoundly disabling to 'merely' upsetting. Those with long #Covid frequently display a core set of symptoms, Altmann says, including #breathlessness, #fatigue, #wheeze, post-exertional #malaise and #BrainFog.

    But about 200 other symptoms are also associated with the disease, and can come and go, including word-finding difficulties, #insomnia, skin #rashes and new #allergies.”

  27. I slept for 10 hours last night. Got up feeling better and decided I'd tackle the long grass with the mower. Well, I've tackled some of the long grass and now I'm back in bed. Exhausted. Hopefully have a sleep so I can pack some jerky this afternoon. Am also meant to be going out tonight for pizza with my neighbour and our friend as a thank you for helping them with IT stuff.

    The packing might have to wait.
