You're so stupid, you approximate sin(x) as x and integrate from 0 to 2pi.

Also the solace we can take is that Microsoft ultimately got its just desserts.

They arrived very late to the smartphone and tablet party, and Google continues to eat their lunch with its own Linux-based operating system to this day.

I am a patriot. I am proud of my country and proud to be able to call myself its citizen.

I am proud of Germany. I am proud of a nation driving the European integration and defending her values. I am proud of the people in this country standing with our constitution which grants as a fundamental right asylum to refugees from failed states run by violence. I am proud of my fellow citizens, welcoming over a million refugees in 2015. I am proud of those who stand up against fascism every day. I am proud of those defending civil liberties in this country every day.

I am proud to call myself a citizen of the European union and I consider the EU receiving the Nobel peace prize to be a valid decision. The European union is the largest program for global peace history has seen so far. 24 different languages, 28 member states and the largest single market in the world. States fighting each other including the whole world in the way of doing so being united in peace for over 60 years now - unprecedented in history. Yes, we can call ourselves proud. But this pride comes with a warning - our values are to be defended. Our values are not determined by race or religion or class. Our values are such which can be found at the core of every Western constitution. The right of free speech, the right to privacy and the right to live in peace. Universal human rights which should be granted to every human being on this planet! But our nation also has traitors to those values, ironically those who claim to be the defenders of Western or German values. They are not. I am in favor of punishing criminal foreigners as I am in favor of punishing criminal Germans. But we cannot condemn all foreigners to be criminals and it is a shame for the Western world that the former defenders of Western values and the free world elected a president capable only of segregating our peoples in hatred against the unknown.

I am proud citizen of a German nation open towards the world and defending human rights and peace in Europe as well as in the world.

PSA aus aktuellem Anlass: Leute! Ernsthaft! Guckt *NICHT* in Glasfasern rein zur Fehlerdiagnose. Bei ~800nm sieht man wohl was glimmen, um 1300nm aber gar nichts mehr. Dennoch ist das Licht unglaublich hell, auch bei nur 10km SFPs. Das brennt Euch tatsächlich einfach Löcher in die Netzhaut und Ihr bekommt es nicht mal mit, weil das Gehirn das Loch interpoliert.

Also das mit den dicken Schlagzeilen kann die ja irgendwie schon....

A Python question regarding large file transfers over HTTP 

I'm working on a project that involves retrieving large (~2-8 GB) .zip files through HTTP and storing them for later processing. I've written a script that uses an API to lookup and generate URLs for a series of needed files, and then attempts to stream each file to storage using requests.get().iter_content.

The problem is, my connection isn't perfectly stable (and I'm running this on a laptop which sometimes goes to sleep). When the connection is interrupted, the transfer dies and I need to restart it.

What would be the best way to add a resume capacity to my file transfer? So that if the script stalls or the connection drops, it would be possible to resume the download from where it failed?

Immer wenn ich Leute treffe, die Linux für schwer installierbar halten und Windows so toll einfach, dann fange ich an, über die manuelle Konfiguration von AUTOEXEC.BAT und CONFIG.SYS unter Windows 3.11 zu schwärmen und merke dann plötzlich an den unwissenden Gesichtsausdrücken, wie alt ich doch bin. ;)

Hi everyone, I am new to Mastodon, so I'm still not very familiar with the whole thing, but I smell very good premises!

I am a (soon to be) Physics PhD student, and I'm interested to links Statistical Mechanics and biological evolution.
Other than this, I like to read (and sometimes write) about the links between technological advancement, such as machine learning or social networks and changes in our society and politics!

@IntegralDuChemin It has relatively complete document compare to OpenBSD.

Fediverse Health Indicator (FHI) =

Number of instances / Number of accounts

Range 0 – 1. The closer to one, the better.

HT @IntegralDuChemin #FHI

@aral @IntegralDuChemin I think small instances are better than instances of one. Makes moderation easier than a free-for-all and minimizes administration costs. I'm talking hundreds or low thousands.

If there is a for Mac OS X can it also run under FreeBSD? On what conditions would that depend?

Is there a way to gain access to the usenet free and anonymous?
