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"

🎩✨ Behold, the Prospero Challenge 2025, now with a dumpster full of garbage collection! Max Bernstein's brilliant "speed up the snail" saga involves a microscopic tweak of #Python and #NumPy to create a pixelated masterpiece of #inefficiency. 🖥️🐌🤦‍♂️ Let's all pretend this is groundbreaking while we sip our lukewarm coffee. ☕💤

This is how #DOGE makes it harder for federal government workers
to provide the necessary services that they provided to us in the past':

About DOGE: They’re like a kid in a nuclear power plant running around hitting buttons.
They have no sense of the cascade of consequences they’re causing.”

The Washington Post · How DOGE is making government almost comically inefficientBy Catherine Rampell

@TomWellborn @0x0ddc0ffee

"Transparency", which the unelected co-president often claims of DOGE, is not a descriptive term, but a fraudulently offered fig leaf intended to subtly dissuade their all-too-trusting followers not to look deeper.

The kind of "inefficiency" they are really seeking to end is not the process inefficiency of these agencies, but the deliberative oversight by Congress that is its protection, and ours, against exactly this kind of smash and grab.

Their hurry is to steal as much as possible as quickly as possible in an irrevocable way, hoping to leave a crippled system that can no longer function to come after them.

Also, they rail against it "entitlement", but they are its poster children.

They are two irony-fisted dictator wannabes.

We must not let them succeed.

MDPIReducing Agricultural Land Use Through Plant-Based Diets: A Case Study of RomaniaBackground/Objectives: Agricultural systems face increasing global pressure to address sustainability challenges, particularly regarding land use and environmental protection. In Romania, where traditional diets are heavily dependent on animal-based products, optimizing land use is critical. This study investigates the potential of plant-based diets to reduce agricultural land use, examining scenarios of partial and complete replacement of animal protein with plant protein sources (soy, peas, and potatoes). Methods: The research modeled three dietary transition scenarios—replacing 33%, 50%, and 100% of animal protein with plant-based protein—using data from the Romanian National Institute of Statistics, the FAO, and international sources. Land use was calculated for each scenario using formulas that take into account protein content and land use intensity for animal and plant protein sources. The simulations quantify the reduction in agricultural land use at the per capita and national levels. Results: The study reveals significant land-saving potential across all scenarios. At the national level, land use reductions ranged from 84,020 hectares (33% replacement) to 1,067,443 hectares (100% replacement). High-impact products such as beef and dairy continue to dominate land use, even in partial replacement scenarios. Conversely, replacing pork and chicken proteins shows substantial savings. The findings highlight the inefficiency of animal-based protein production and the ecological benefits of transitioning to plant-based diets. Conclusions: A dietary shift towards plant-based protein in Romania could achieve significant reductions in agricultural land use, contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals. This transition not only supports environmental conservation and resource optimization, but also provides public health benefits by reducing consumption of red and processed meat. These results provide a basis for policies to promote sustainable and nutritionally balanced food systems

Feeling a little deflated at #work. I've been working on a tool to extract data from log files we collect to automatically categorize some known issues. That's been going along pretty well though it's a bit of edge case whack-a-mole. The issue is that I thought the group I'm making this #tool for had direct access to those logs, but apparently they are all just in a folder somewhere that we can only access through a clunky web interface. #Engineering really needs this data.
