I May Need To Hire A WordPress Theme Designer In The Future
I am debating whether to use a free WordPress theme & alter it or hire a professional to create one in the future. No, it is not for me, but for someone special. 🥰 It will be a resume site with a blog on the side. ActivityPub support is a given (everything should be on the Fediverse, in my opinion 😜).
A recently published report by rights groups says that commodities from the Malaysian state of Sarawak should be labeled “high risk” under the new EU deforestation regulations, subjecting exports to additional scrutiny.
Indigenous and human rights groups point to high rates of deforestation associated with timber and palm oil production in the state, and to alleged violations of human rights.

Learning #Python for #SEO: Sorting by multiple columns
Did you know you can sort a table by two (or more) columns?
And that they can be independently sorted in a mix of descending/ascending orders? Why the hell would I want to do that?
What would that look like anyway?
Why: I want the top/bottom N URLs for every day. What would that look like? Here are the instructions:
- Sort the table using the “date” column in ascending order
- Sort the table using the “views” column in descending
1/3
order.
This is done by taking every group of rows that contain a unique date, sorting only those rows in descending order (according to the “views” column).
This is independent of all other rows in the table.
- Using the “date” column as a grouping variable, take the first/last three rows of each group of rows Now we have the top pages that received the most views in descending order for each day.
If you understood the above instructions, and can imagine the final outcome, only then
2/3
would it be easy for you to run this operation (in Python, spreadsheet, R, or with a paper, pen and a bunch of crayons).
It’s much clearer and more concise when expressed in Python than it is in English:
df.sort_values(['date', 'views'],ascending=[True, False]) .groupby('date') .head(3)
You will not ever learn this if you want to “learn Python”. It's not a Python thing, this is a data skill. Unless you “learn data science/analysis with python”, then yes.

#VirtualBox and most likely also #VMware hypervisors do currently not work with the mainline #kernel / #Linux 6.12-pre, unless you boot with 'kvm.enable_virt_at_load=0' – and it looks like developers do not see any need to change this:

"'And, no offence to VirtualBox or VMware, I care much more about not regressing KVM users than I care about inconveniencing out-of-tree hypervisors.'" 🤔 🧐
