Catching a late afternoon December sunset on Hill Lane at Penshaw, Sunderland in NE England.
Visited this location with my camera a number of times in the run-up to the winter solstice, knowing that the sun sets at just the right point of the compass at this time of the year (even captured it in the snow!).
Every time I hope someone will pass by, maybe someone on horseback from the nearby stables, after all, it is a public bridleway.
I'm still hoping!

urllib3 used "DeprecationWarning" for 3 years to deprecate API features and it didn't work, so what do we do instead?

Deprecations via warnings don’t work for Python libraries
Last week urllib3 v2.6.0 was released which contained removals for several APIs that we've known were problematic since 2019 and have been deprecated since 2022. The deprecations were marked in the...

This iconic Fabian Todorovic cartoon is still one of the best I’ve seen at illustrating the remarkable amount of space we surrender to cars, leaving little space left for everyone and everything else. The text added later makes the bonus point that many drivers still manage to complain about it.
2026 월드컵 축구는 각 절반의 다시 절반에 3분 동안의 '수분섭취 휴식'을 신설한다고 한다. 즉 전후반이 아니라 사실상 4등분. 광고 수익 더 많이 내겠다는 야심은 알겠지만, 경기 흐름이 어떤 식으로 꺾일지는 뚜껑을 열어봐야.

a problem with this tarot deck is that when i add highlights to the coins, which i think i need to do, it makes them look like oreos
@demize i do not know the people at analogue. i believe from watching their actions that the problem is they actually are supply constrained, not that they're *trying* to be this way. what i *hope* turns out to be the case is that they watch to see which A3D colors sell out *first*, and in future production runs they produce extra of that color or just do a run of "white, black, [2 colors that sold best in december]". but i do not know the people at analogue.
@demize I do think this batch will sell out much quicker than whatever batches they do next year. They fulfilled the preorder batch; the day after the preorders shipped they did a small batch of new orders, which are mostly believed to be the stock from cancelled preorders; and so since they guarantee delivery Dec 24, whatever they put up on Dec 10 logically must be *only as much as they could make between preorder fulfilment and Dec 10*. The website uses the phrase "Highly limited quantites."

I have had an Analogue 3D for two weekends now and I really, really like it. Analogue just announced another order pass in ten(!) colors for Dec 10.
I think Dec 10 will be a bloodbath. I think a BUNCH of people are gonna wind up real frustrated on Dec 10 when they don't get their preferred colors. This is so many colors and when they did this with the Pocket some colors sold out well before the others. If you decide you want one be online the second these go up.
When the #RaspberryPi Compute Module 5 came out, you couldn't use the IO Case's bundled fan and heatsink at the same time - which was spun as letting people try out passive and active cooling separately.
Well, that definitely-not-a-design-flaw-honest has been fixed: the latest IO Case shifts the fan to allow clearance underneath for the heatsink.
Speaking of the #RaspberryPi CM5, there's a new carrier board coming out - an open-hardware design which adapts it into a mini-ITX form factor complete with x16 (mechanical, it's still one-lane) PCI Express slot.

A M7.6 earthquake occurred off the coast of Japan at 14:15 UTC, and drove a near-immediate 22% increase in request traffic from the country. A concurrent bump in traffic from mobile devices was observed at that time as well.

OK, so there is a "trend" advocated in German media called "Hobby Dogging", which apparently means taking imaginary pets for walks - so, strolls for mental folk… Surely, any of the journalists writing these articles should have spent a minute looking up what dogging means in the UK…
