【BUILT-IN PRO 電器專門店特約】柬埔寨柴楨省初級法院外周二(18日)早上發生罕見的持槍劫犯事件。一名黑衣女子在囚車抵達時突然遞槍予囚犯,對方即場向警員開火,並與另外5名越南籍囚犯成功逃離現場。事件過程被閉路電視拍下,在社交平台瘋傳。

事發於早上近9時,一名戴鴨舌帽、背着袋的女子在法院範圍內等候,期間囚車駛至。警方打開車門後,多名身穿橙色囚衣、以手銬成對鎖上的囚犯陸續落車。當中一名囚犯落地後迅即解開與同伴的手銬,黑衣女子則同時掏出槍械遞給他。

該囚犯接過槍後立即向警員開火,隨即牽着女子,並聯同其他5名囚犯直奔大門逃走。警員一度避開其攻擊,其後折返並以AK步槍還擊,但逃犯已登車逃離。

柬埔寨監獄總局表示,是次事件無人受傷,6名逃犯均為越南籍,涉及毒品及網絡詐騙等案件被捕。警方其後已成功拘捕其中一名主犯,並尋獲涉案車輛,正全力追緝其餘在逃人士。

But... at some point there's a threshold; at some point an edge case becomes a leading-edge case.

This was one of the core lessons I learned working with the Flow team - any one absolute number won't show what you want, you have to be able to see motion and context.

Apple Music 的古典樂專用 App 還不錯,畢竟古典樂的形式跟現代音樂差太多了。
除了歌手/演奏家以外還多了一個最重要的作曲家層級,而且一個曲目可能由數個樂章組成,光是呈現方式就有極大的差異。

另外有演奏者與曲目的介紹真是挺有趣的w

Then I'd take the train to the Stripe office, and there's just so much *suffering* of poverty in San Francisco. Homelessness exists everywhere, but in 2016 San Francisco it really broke my heart walking through town and seeing the conditions people were struggling in. And having noplace to relieve themselves but on the street.

And then, the contrast of it! To enter the Stripe office. Tech Disneyland! It was so comfortable.

But look out the window, and you'd see the disparity.

I talked about this with a friend when she came to visit me one day. She remarked how she had a conversation with someone who had a posh job in SF and was complaining, "Look at how much I have to pay for my tiny apartment. And then! All that money! For this!" and pointing at the homelessness in the street.

And she said, "You understand that's *because* you pay so much for your apartment right? These are all interconnected." And the person was just baffled.

SF is a place of extremes.

I've talked about it before but Attention K-Mart Shoppers is such an incredible thing, a collection of overhead department store music from a forgotten era archive.org/details/attentionk

My favorite thing is still the opening track from the October 1989 tape. The synths! The distortion! The yearning calls of the instruments! The piano! archive.org/details/KmartOctob

There are so many good tapes though

Scientists Have Discovered a Special Type of Immune Cell That Slows Aging

Researchers have just discovered a way to destroy harmful 'senescent' cells that accumulate with age and ramp up the kind of tissue damage and inflammation that slowly brings life to a grinding halt.

The team found that CD4 T immune cells transform into assassins of the damaging tissues when biological aging is detected in the body.

A thing I don't like about Signal is that in principle if someone messages you by username they can't get your phone number, but the interface doesn't indicate at all. Meanwhile, if you get cold called by someone it doesn't tell you if they messaged by username or by phone number, and it's not clear by pressing "Accept" whether or not you're transmitting to them your username (if they messaged by phone#) or the phone# (if they messaged by username)… or how to prevent this.

@mcc I don't think you can prevent somebody automatically receiving your profile name if they call your number.

I poked around this part of the docs while wondering whether to push my parents over to that service.

Playtime

Nobody is quite sure why bottlenose dolphins and pilot whales choose each other's company. Perhaps they find food more easily, or the large pods provide safety.

All I know is that one beautiful day in September, they followed our boat for half an hour as we were whale-watching.

They were leaping through the water of Skjálfandi bay with joy, and just because they could. What more reason could they need?

Húsavík, NE .

A colour photo of a stretch of sea under a clear sky with fluffy clouds. A range of mountains is in the distance, dropping to the coastline. In the centre of the shot is a group of dolphins and whales, the dolphins in the lead. Several of the sleek bodies can be seen above the water as they are leaping.

Martin 1.0 is out! Sweet. Been using Martin off and on for vector tile projects. Adheres to "Simple things should be simple, complex things should be possible" adage. I also like it because it was named after me :D @nyurikYuri Astrakhan thanks for all your work on this. github.com/maplibre/martin/rel

A lot of the ActivityPub spec was edited to that tape. I was selected for the Stripe Open Source Retreat; basically they gave a stipend and a space to work out of in San Francisco. It was kind of a neat program, an "open source artist in residence" program. I originally got the position to work on MediaGoblin, but ended up spending the time working on the ActivityPub spec and packaging MediaGoblin's dependencies for Guix instead

On weekends I would blast these tapes in the empty office and work
