#Python question:
I'm looking for an open-source code library that will let me graphically edit 2D objects, in the sense of nodes and edges. add, move, connect (smart edges). Something like Visio/ yED, but all in Python.

I want to (re)explore some extensions to graph theory, and use it for teaching tools.
I wrote something C++ in the 90's, but am hoping there is something out there already.
Boosts, etc are all welcome.
TIA

It's a small thing, but I really wish the folks who were reflexively anti-Google were better at it. Today's case in point: lots of folks in my mentions bringing up Manifest V3 without any acknowledgement that it's the same design for content blocking as is mandated on iOS.

But that's all a distraction. What's *really* a problem is that Google makes a pretty powerful chip paried with lots of RAM, but even as a Pixel owner, I can't install extensions on Chrome for Android.

*THAT* is the bezzle.

This is The Empire Strikes Back of revenge against the Great Resignation. Certain employers want to ensure employees never even think about asserting their rights ever again.

For 30 years, the CE mark has been a staple of many of the objects that accompany our lives.

From e-bikes to phones – and even washing machines, the letters ‘CE’ stand for ‘conformité européenne,’ a way for manufacturers to declare that their products meet:

🦺 EU safety,
💝 ️health, and
♻️ environmental protection requirements.

Learn more about the CE marking here: https://europa.eu/!ngq9fk

To recap: #SuffolkLaw expects to conduct faculty searches (for positions starting in 2024) in all three areas:

Clinical (for the IP clinic): https://jobs.jobvite.com/suffolkuniversity/job/o59Jnfw4

Legal Writing: https://jobs.jobvite.com/suffolkuniversity/job/oEaJnfwE

Doctrinal: https://jobs.jobvite.com/suffolkuniversity/job/ofkInfwo

I'm on the clinical committee and I'd be happy to answer questions about that search, about teaching at Suffolk, about being a law prof in Boston, or any related questions.

A recent quote about Robert Kennedy Jr. by Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of President Kennedy:

"He’s trading in on Camelot, celebrity, conspiracy theories and conflict for personal gain and fame,” said Schlossberg, whose mother is Caroline Kennedy. “I have no idea why anyone thinks he should be president. What I do know is his candidacy is an embarrassment. Let’s not be distracted again by somebody’s vanity project.”

@slightlyoff also, IMO MV3 is a good example of your earlier point. The Chromium team were open to my suggestions as an extension developer and I was able to collaborate with them to help improve the APIs. I didn't always get my way, but we worked together in good faith. That acheived a lot more than assuming the worst of folks from the outset.

Great panel discussion about web components. The platform is still maturing, but it's made some big leaps recently (e.g. Declarative Shadow DOM).

Folks who want to lecture me about how Chromiun is evil because of manifest v3 probably shouldn't do it from their iPhones, because the blocking features are functionally identical to Apple's design.

Adblockers are a valid and necessary security measure, especially since instead of fixing the negative security impact of the ad-served internet, Google and other actors are looking to capture and control internet service deliverability so you can't opt for another path.

So.... decided to see if I could improve (lower CPU, better performance) by enabling Metals-based acceleration by re-compiling with that option...

Well I got 1/2 of that... CPU usage now at ~1% but it's ULTRA slow.

Probably because this 2018 Mac has a Radeon Pro 560X GPU?? Not sure.. I HOPE it's not using the Intel one 🤔

Neither are surprising (my Mac is from 2018 2.2 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7) but it actually made me fact check whether EPFL and/or Lightened were acquired by IBM in 2022 (spoiler: they haven't)!
