CyberEther’s ZeroMQ blocks carry signal attributes like frequency, sample rate, and timestamps along with the data. Send from one flowgraph to another, and the receiving plot keeps the right frequency axis.

First day at @Lambda_World, combined with other great conferences (including @JOTBConf, one of @joeerl’s favourites) was a hit. What made it special was the ability to catch up with speakers from the @CodeMeshIO days. If you missed it this year, don’t miss the 2027 edition.

IBM ThinkPad T60, released 20 years ago, powered by a Core-2-Duo and 3GB RAM.
This machine is running the latest vanilla Debian 13 and XFCE4 and it's absolutely usable, not bad for a laptop that's 20 years old! 😍

#NowSpinning Bruch’s Second Violin Concerto, a work I do not know. Fortunately Perlman seems to know it rather well! How interesting to hear it’s first movement almost pick up where the First left off. A bit of recycling isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

A filter that flew to the moon
Rudolf Kálmán's 1960 filter was met with scepticism, until Stanley Schmidt at NASA Ames saw how to use it for navigation.
An extended version guided Apollo to the Moon.

It's been 12 years since I last updated Quick Resizer, a Mac App that... quickly resizes images.
I built it because I hated waiting 10s or so to launch Photoshop just to scale an image for my blog.
I let Claude fix 3 bugs and port it to Swift (under my guidance), and it's now hit 2.0, and works better than it ever did before (and waaaay faster on modern Apple Silicon). Plus it still runs on Intel, at least macOS 13+!
It's still $0.99 as it always was: apps.apple.com/us/app/quick-…
And now I can again stop launching Photoshop's monstrous husk of an app just to scale down photos for my blog.

If you get a perfect working iPhone 6, log into it, and go to the App Store, you can't install apps because Apple has discontinued support for all iOS versions the iPhone 6 uses.
200+ million iPhone 6 phones were produced. All now banned from apps.
Think about that.
