Écouter le dernier Écho des pavanes en version bilingue dès le matin, c'est la vie que j'ai décidé de mener. C'est parce que ça parle des anciens manuscrits de partitions 😍

rts.ch · Musik-Akademie Basel, du parchemin au microfilm: une émission bilingue avec le "Musikmagazin" de SRF 2 KulturDans le cadre de la semaine spéciale bâloise de la rédaction Culture de la RTS à quelques jours de l’Eurovision, "L’écho des pavanes" a posé ses valises à la bibliothèque Vera Oeri au cœur de la Musik-Akademie Basel. A une courte distance sont regroupées la Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, centre de musique ancienne, la bibliothèque universitaire, la bibliothèque Vera Oeri, ainsi que la Fondation Paul Sacher, temple des partitions de musique contemporaine. Ces institutions abritent des trésors d’archives, manuscrits, fac-similés et partitions, du Moyen Âge à nos jours. Découverte de ces sources indispensables à l’interprétation de la musique avec Heidy Zimmermann de la Fondation Paul Sacher, Martin Kirnbauer et Christelle Cazaux de la Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, Thomas Nierlin, directeur de la Vera Oeri-Bibliothek, Christian Dierstein, professeur de percussion, et Emilia Feil, étudiante en percussion. Fritz Hauser, en concert le 6 mai 2025 à la Martinskirche avec son ensemble de percussions, parle de son rapport à la musique écrite. Et le violoncelliste Jonathan Pešek évoque l’opéra Didon et Enée interprété au Theater Basel par La Cetra Barockorchester Basel. Une émission proposée par Anne Gillot et Annelis Berger avec Thierry Sartoretti et Elisabeth von Kalnein dans une réalisation de Gilles Hausammann. www.musik-akademie.ch/ www.paul-sacher-stiftung.ch www.fhnw.ch/de/studium/musik/schola-cantorum-basiliensis www.christiandierstein.de https://fritzhauser.ch/ https://lacetra.ch/ https://www.srf.ch/radio-srf-2-kultur

Polish PM criticises presidential candidate for readiness to drop support for Ukraine’s NATO accession

Putin’s first and most important demand for #Ukraine and the West is to prevent Ukraine from joining #NATO. Nawrocki [opposition candidate] has just willingly subscribed to this demand. The next one will be the #capitulation and #partition of Ukraine. He will subscribe to that too. This is deadly dangerous for #Poland

Und gleich noch eine Frage zum Thema Backup: Ich überlege, ob ich auf das Thema "eigene Partition für das Homeverzeichnis" eingehen soll (und wie man ein bestehendes Home-Verzeichnis verschiebt).

Wie macht Ihr das?

"It is now time to fix it for good. A new solution has been proposed: partitioning visited link history. This approach fundamentally changes how browsers store and expose visited link data. Instead of maintaining a global list, web browsers will store visited links with a triple-key partition:

- Link URL. The destination of the visited link.
- Top-Level Site. The domain of the main browsing context.
- Frame Origin. The origin of the frame rendering the link.

A link is only styled as :visited if it was visited from the same top-level site and frame origin (...) This approach guarantees isolation and works well with the web's same-origin policy. The system records only navigations initiated by link clicks or scripts—excluding direct address bar entries or bookmark navigations.

Key benefits of this model include: strong protection against cross-site history leaks, solving for good of many known side-channel attacks, support for meaningful styling within trusted, same-context domains, conforming to established web privacy principles and data protection regulations.

This feature is already implemented in Chrome (v132, behind a #partition-visited-link-database-with-self-links flag). I am confident that in 2025 we are going to have this privacy headache solved once and for all."

Security, Privacy & Tech Inquiries · Fixing web browser history leaksWeb browsing history powers helpful features like styling visited links differently, allowing users to see where they've been before. While this usability feature provides navigational benefits, it also introduces a privacy risk. The handling of visited links happened to be a silent backdoor of a kind, allowing malicious sites to

Imagine thinking the Partition, which killed almost 2 million people, is something we should emulate in the 21st Century.
Then imagine saying it from a broadsheet American newspaper, and expecting it to be welcomed and debated seriously.

HDD SSD space should be counted in binary.

1KB in binary is 1024.

A 32 TB hard drive is in fact 30.517578125 TB unpartitioned /unformatted capacity, as the binary system on the computer actually uses it

I know about all those confusing terms that you can find when you go and search on different engines; those are just to confuse and convolute the fact that drives sold are under capacity

Counting storage in decimals is a crime, a marketing scheme which should have been outlawed globally.

Has anyone here ever tried to replace an internal harddisk in a #Yokogawa Recording Scope?
It's very picky about HDDs and doesn't recognise even an exact 1:1 copy including its weird first #partition offset of 32 blocks (instead of 62 used by MSDOS and 2048 on newer partition layouts).
Wondering if it's deciding whether or not to show the drive based on the manufacturer or some other property like serial number. #legacy #lab #equipment

#programming question, TL;DR: How to test for an (approximately) uniform #distribution?

Today at work, I created a piece of code that should #partition a stream of data entities based on some string keys of unknown format. The only requirements were that the same key must always be assigned to the same partition and the distribution should be approximately uniform (IOW all partitions should have roughly the same size). My approach was to apply a non-cryptographic #hash function to the keys (defaulting to #xxhash3), XOR-fold the hash down to 32 bits and then take this as an unsigned integer modulo the desired number of partitions.

I normally only code my private projects (as a software architect, I rarely have the time to touch any code at work, unfortunately), and there, I'd certainly test something like this on some large samples of input data, but probably just once manually. 🙈

But for work, I felt this should be done by a #unittest. I also think at least one set of input data should be somehow "random" (while others should contain "patterns"). My issue is with unit-testing the case for "random" input. One test I wrote feeds 16k GUIDs (in string representation) to my partitioner configured for 13 partitions, and checks that the factor between the largest and smallest partitions remains < 2, so, a very relaxed check. Still doubt remains because there's no way to guarantee this test won't go "red" eventually.

I now see several possible options:
  • just ignore this because hell freezing is more likely than that test going red ...
  • don't even attempt to test the resulting distribution on "random" input
  • bite the bullet and write some extra code creating "random" (unicode, random length within some limits) strings from a PRNG which will produce a predictable sequence

What do you think? 🤔 The latter option kind of sounds best, but then the complexity of the test will probably exceed the complexity of the code tested. 🙈

For my fifth sketch of Mathober, Which is coded in #MermaidJs, SankeyPartition will be using the 5th prompt of Mathober 2024: Integer Partition and 30th prompt: Commutative. This is done through the Sankey Diagram, where each curve is representing a different partition that is commutative and additional glitching is created with #Glitchlab.

Floating in an Ocean of Laws

Kalyani Ramnath’s Boats in a Storm presents various entanglements of migration and decolonisation, outside of the well-known Partition between India and Pakistan. Her book follows the stories of Indians forced to move between the 1940s and the 1960s on account of the multiple disruptions – wartime occupation, post-war transfer of power, decolonisation, partitions – in South and Southeast Asia.
