Stand with farmers – and our planet

It's time to #StopUPOV

Rather than planting a variety of locally bred, biodiverse seeds, adapted over generations for their #environment, #UPOV91 can push farmers into relying on industrially produced seeds sold by global corporations.

This can lead to single-crop fields which are typically more vulnerable to disease and #climate shocks.

Unlike local varieties, commercial #seeds often can’t be saved for the next season – forcing farmers to buy new #seeds each year, and prioritising profit over people’s need to eat.

These secretive laws are given teeth by being included in #trade deals, which means rich countries can impose sanctions if farmers do not comply.

Right now, the UK has 19 #trade deals covering 68 countries across the world which force them to introduce seed laws in line with UPOV91.

It's time to stand with #farmers and take #SeedLaws out of #TradeDeals.

What if we had something similar to the #numpy API on the #web and in #node etc? V8 is faster than CPython sure but you still can't get close to the performance of a hand-crafted SIMD number crunching loop written in C when writing #JavaScript (or using #WebAssembly for that matter). You kinda can in #Python thanks to numpy.

You may argue that most web/JS things don't need that level of performance.. but for sites which want to do e.g some pretty complex image prcoessing, SIMD would be great



⛈️ A rainy Sunday morning?

💡 That sounds like a great opportunity to learn some geospatial analysis with Python using the opendata sets published by the city of Barcelona!

And why not do it to explore one of the nightmares of those of us who live in this city: the apartments rented to turists (and taken out of the rental market for locals) 😭

⛈️ ¿Una lluviosa mañana de domingo?

💡 ¡Suena como una gran oportunidad para aprender algo de análisis geoespacial con Python usando los conjuntos de datos abiertos publicados por la ciudad de Barcelona!

¿Y por qué no hacerlo explorando una de las pesadillas de quienes vivimos en esta ciudad: los pisos turísticos (extraídos del mercado de alquiler para la gente local)? 😭

Opinion...

Do you think this warning is enough or as is normal users will ignore it ? #FOSS #Linux #Cosmic

IIRC @etchedpixels once said something like "Computers are state machines. Threads are for people who can't program state machines."





We're getting close to the end of the #Python #Radio series, but there are still a few more gems waiting to be released before it starts to wrap up.

Here's the latest from today, that talks about getting big range from small antennas.
