A screen that tells you when the next train is coming, built with the same complexity as a Mars mission. It all started on the blue line to Kista , riding Stockholm’s Tunnelbana. Half asleep, I was staring at the glowing “next departures” board when it hit me: "What if I built one of those for home?" Sure, I could’ve just opened an app like any normal human, but I chose the long, slow, bug-ridden path. Naturally. A while later, for my birthday, Roberto gave me a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W . Why? No idea. But clearly, it was fuel for my urge to overengineer things. With that little board in hand, my fate was sealed. Weeks later, we went to a Hopsworks meetup in Södermalm. Being a good Scandinavian tech event, it was full of beer. And not just any beer— Hopsworks has its own craft beer line , with labels that look like they came straight out of a DataFrame. Absolute chef’s kiss. They were showing how they use the Trafiklab API to feed an AI model that predicts public transport del...

A lo largo del tiempo, como Argentinos fuimos encargados de llevar la política a nuevos espacios. Fuimos pioneros en debates abstractos, generamos discusiones de todo tipo contemplando todos los aspectos y aristas que un tema puede encontrar. Así y todo íbamos olvidando gran parte de nuestra gente. Así y todo nos íbamos blindando del otro. Así y todo, conseguimos ser de mente abierta pero tan cerrados para no entender que hoy no es ayer, para no entender que somos muy distintos y debemos vivir juntos. Nos dimos cuenta que ni la distancia ni las rejas nos separan del todo. Que la "necesidad" se hizo compleja, y que los derechos son un reflejo de esta nueva lucha de clases. Podríamos asegurar que el conflicto es lo nuestro, y que no sabemos cómo resolverlo. Así y todo es nuestra misión llevar paz y construir. Así y todo debemos saber que no somos tan diferentes, y que esa distancia que generamos no es más que una diferencia de potencial o voltaje político. Todo nuestro ...

June 27, 1950, in Czechoslovakia is executed at 49 years the defender of women, lifeguard, parliamentarian, lawyer and mother  Milada Horáková. Milada started in politics at an early age, in 1929 she was a member of the Czech National Socialist Party, during the Second World War she was sent to a concentration camp by the National Socialist regime. After the war returns to Prague with her husband in May 1945. After the "t" in which the Communists take the power of parliament, Milada resigns in protest, also refuses to be bribed, help persecuted politicians to escape the country and rejects the idea of ​​exile. This defiant attitude of Milada soon alarmed the communist government that imprisoned her for 3 years, led to a controlled trial in which she defended herself saying: "Nobody in this country should die for their ideas." However, although personalities such as Eleanor Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and Albert Einstein wrote letters to the president...

Until a few years ago the citizens of Peronia were famous for something they know how to do very well playing football, survive inflationary crises, and since the proclamation of Pancho as pope they are now also known for this fact. Bergoglio has been very controversial in his speeches and in his way of approaching international politics, he has been received as a lover of  human rights, but rejected some people that come from countries where the most common thing is precisely having their rights violated. What is his scale of values? 
 It is not surprising that Bergoglio has a very critical stance towards capitalism, competition, the free market, individual freedom and the pursuit of our own ends. He always makes us see he condemns private initiative and boosts that so common word in Peronia: social justice. 
 Social justice is a very trendy word in Peronia, encompasses everything that is "right" and at the same time does not define what is justice or what part of s...

Earlier I told you that there is a place called Peronia , I told you how some of its citizens live, I described their economic and social backwardness. Today I will talk about citizens who are close to ostracism. It happens that in Peronia there is a group branded as subversives, to say it in some way, they are people born in Peronia who are tired of the repression of violent group s, the mafia, corruption and the brazenness of the unions. Recently this group was joined by a group of people who have been destitute, come from a place that no longer exists but in their dreams, where there is no hope, where uncertainty about the future is the only certainty and just as food Faith is also scarce. They have nowhere else to return, their homes have been destroyed, but they are afraid of not being able to continue to take refuge in Peronia.
 Together they form a group of people who not only do not fit in Peronia, but who are victims of constant attacks, they are the others, the di...

In a forgotten continent called America, just to the south, almost closer to the ocean, is Peronia. Peronia has existed since 1946, when a soldier along with trade unionists took the presidency as a hostage. From then until today, the citizens of Peronia continue to follow the same rules: high controls that regulate life, inflation, impossibility to invest in the long term, and are forced to save on their devalued currency: the peso. I write just before the general strike, unions organized to stop the country, ordinary citizens will not receive tomorrow's salary, if they are forced to work they will have to pay triple or more to be able to move to their jobs and then return home. Since today the day has been complicated, the ATMs crowded with people, want to have cash, yes, for these citizens is essential in case they can not pay with debit or credit card, yes, in a world where electronic transfers and bitcoin already exists as currency. I went to a hotel in...

Since my Adobe Lightroom expired days ago (and right now it costs almost 200usd on Adobe's main page) I decided look an alternative and give it a chance. The main alternative I found is RawTherapee My main preoccupation about was about what happens when I import a Canon Raw 2 (.cr2) image and if it's work correctly. It works fine! I been trying like 20 minutes some changes and doing profiles until moment of saving a image THIS happens.     I opened again an I found my changes on course, and I didn't lose anything, then I exported my result. What I found is something I been looking through the edit process that is a BIG NOISE on the image. Then I make another test on Adobe CameraRaw   As you see, there is noise but in any way comparable with how RawTherapee manages it. Conclusion: Since I used the worst possible photo to edit, Adobe manages wide better the noise, doing it some preprocess that never gets same result on an app...
