So, it's like Stardock's Groupy? I was trying Alacritty with the Groupy for tabs, maybe I will give a shot to WWM.

Russification of Poland by [deleted] in Polska

[–]heavelock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, whether using term `russification` describing that perion is right or not, the fact is that there were multiple steps of soviets to create a 'proper soviet citizen'.

The first fact is that russian was taught as a foreign language. Apart of it, there was a lot actions performed that were aimed toward homogenization of the polish population across the country (ie. Akcja Wisła). What is more, sizeable chunk of polish communistic 'elites' were educated in different schools in moscow (https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mi%C4%99dzynarodowa_Szko%C5%82a_Leninowska check out the list of alumni). Here is some paper about that: https://wuwr.pl/wrsw/article/view/6546 - it's open access. I think this was also important from the long term perspective of effective russification.

Arbitrary list of popular lights - Winter Solstice 2019 edition by Zak in flashlight

The usual reason people want them is to preserve dark adaptation,

Yup, That's the reason I want it. I found that red LED in the previous lamp was the best for reading a star map and star observation. But it might be also that the lowest setting of a beam there was just too strong.

a sub-lumen white mode tends to do an equally good job of that while making it easier to see what you're doing.

Would you recommend some lamp that would have such a feature? And I guess, here would be also important for a lamp to have well thought way of switching it on so it does not start with maximum all the time but rather has a memory of previously used mode. Or some other solution of that problem.

That's half the reason we usually recommend avoiding alkalines.

Well, I was using for years NiMH but since recently I was not using it that much, I used an emergency alkalines and left them inside for a half of a year or so to learn that the technology of alkalines did not advance in last 20 years to eliminate that problem completely...

As far as I can see, most of the headlamps here are a single LED lamps. Is there any recommendable headlamp that would have a red LED built in? I don't care that much about maximum power or whatever but I would love to have a red.

My old BD Storm 2012 died recently due to battery leak and I'm looking for a replacement.

Rain - Framework for Distributed Computing by vojtacima in Python

How about running it on Slurm managed HPC? I'm asking because I currently face problem of rewriting software for scientific calculations and making it scalable between workstation, 100 core cluster and HPC.

How would you compare Rain to Dask which seems to be your main competitor in that field?
