Excited to see what will come from this study over the next years, this was my favorite place to see in Paris last year, and wasn't too hard to schedule the visit (I think I booked one or two days before). Some sections are closed, and I read the catacombs are not fully mapped. Wondering if they will find something or someone long thought to be lost down there.

And most workflow systems that support loops/cycles could be used for that too (e.g. Cylc, ecFlow, Prefect, Orchesta/StackStorm, Covenant, etc.).

conda is still open source, but I think the Anaconda distro and the Anaconda channels have changes, based on number of people in an organisation (200 people threshold)...

So far everything worked fine. I've limited the battery at 60% as I work with it plugged into power most of the time. I use earphones most of the time, but when I had to use the speakers they were alright.

Camera, keyboard, and trackpad are good too (better than what I've been using). And I haven't had any issues with the monitor hinges (not sure if lucky, or newer batches have the problem fixed).

Once my CPU fans got really excited with some containers and kernel upgrade running in parallel, and wouldn't go off. I restarted it (I had a decent number of tabs open too, to be honest), and then it quieted down.

I limit the CPU performance as I use it for programming (have IntelliJ, WebStorm, and PyCharm open at the same time sometimes, with Firefox with 20 to 40 tabs, and sometimes containers running in the background, and SSH connections to servers. Everything works fine. If I open Blender or something else like a game, then the fans definitely wake up and kick in.

But otherwise very quiet, and the performance is good enough for me. It came with the latest bios installed, and I had no issues installing drivers (Ubuntu 24.04, and using XFCE BTW, everything working OK). So, so far a happy user.

I wonder if you had some ASCII characters, or those old custom-font-and-special-characters texts we used to use?

I saw someone commenting about accounts being deleted due to inactivity, so first I tried to find a way to search old accounts. Found in a website this link: https://icq.im/$YOUR_ICQ_NUMBER/en

Replace that by your ID. I checked some of the IDs in the comments here, and you can see the user name. But mine just shows [deleted], and the old description I wrote years, and years ago :-)

Searching I also ended up on this icq.com web page, that looks right out of Geocities: https://icq.com/cf/ate/externals/ma00b.htm

No idea what's that tool, and no way I am downloading it. But it's amazing to imagine what would be the "created" and "last modified" stats of the files being served there.

Thanks ICQ.

e.g. "How Well Does the ERA5 Reanalysis Capture the Extreme Climate Events Over China? Part II: Extreme Temperature"

https://publikationen.bibliothek.kit.edu/1000149226/14910548...

>The conclusions are as follows: the original daily temperatures (mean temperature, maximum temperature, and minimum temperature) can be well reproduced by ERA5 reanalysis over China. ERA5 tends to exhibit more misdetection for the duration of extreme temperature events than extreme temperature intensity and frequency. In addition, ERA5 performed best in the summer and worst in the winter

But even in Europe the dataset can have some issues, e.g. https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4441/14/4/543

> Comparing ERA5 with the other two datasets, ERA5 temperature presents more extreme temperature and small outliers for regions southern of 40° latitude and less extreme temperatures in areas over the Black Sea. In Scandinavia, ERA5 temperatures are more frequently extreme than the observational ones

There are more articles like these on how well ERA5 captures temperature/wind speed/etc, or certain global events, extremes, anomalies, etc., in different locations and time, but I couldn't find more for your other questions (on mobile).

> Huge quantities of particles from Pinatubo's tall ash cloud injected into the global wind system in the stratosphere. These particles affected the weather in two ways. Tiny aerosol droplets reflected sunlight away from Earth causing cooling at the surface. Scientists observed a maximum global cooling of about 1.5°C. Sunsets and sunrises were more brilliant because of the fine ash and gases high in the air.

I wonder if artists painting pleinair before/after the eruption would show the intensity change of sunset/sunrises in their work too.
