When I segmented 3D MRI and CT scan images before I used the contrast borders for help a lot. There were some algorithms for finding edges that you could tune by setting search radiuses and thresholds. There was also an option of growing an area by a certain amount of pixels outward, and then threshholding the result back down to only the brighter parts, that kind of thing. You had to be a little clever about how you’d combine it. And ultimately, sometimes I just had to add and subtract a few points manually.

Segmenting is more assigning areas to distinct objects (separating bones from the rest in my case), but you could totally use it as a basis for coloring, so I assume the process is similar here.

Laws don’t magically stop working just because you’re out of jurisdiction.

Actually I would say that most do. Extraterritorial jurisdiction is the exception, not the rule. Many countries apply it for cases of Genocide and War Crimes for example.

You are right though that many countries apply their laws to vessels under their flags in international waters

When I still had an iPod Touch many years ago, that only worked after Jailbreaking. The way they lock down the file system on iOS has been one of the worst parts of the Apple Walled Garden in my opinion.

Sometimes I’m surprised that acts like these don’t incite violence against the responsible politician.

For someone who had their existance threatened it could be possible to frame it as an advanced form of self defense. Of course not everyone would see it that way, but I’m thinking it would be likely that at least some people come to that conclusion.

That’s exactly what a weeb masquerading as a Linux nerd would say!

I bet his penguin is from “A Place Further than the Universe”

For my part I didn’t mind that so much in Cyberpunk 2077, I just played it multiple times with different V characters.

But then I can see that it’s a big time investment and not good for everyone.

Wow they really went into their stupid useless plan in the most ham-fisted way

Ah yes we have some general contracts for whole sectors as well that ususally contain better conditions (called Gesamtarbeitsvertrag GAV).

My workplace, also IT, also gives 180 Swiss Franks a month to help with lunch (much appreciated in Zürich, shit’s expensive). There are some tax rules concerning workplaces either offering cafeterias or lunch subsidies. I believe 180 is the most they can give you before it counts as a separate form of reportable income that needs to be taxed. I think this is common for office jobs, but I also don’t have hard numbers.

There are various exceptions in Switzerland too, I think the weekly maximum if going over your contract is 50h and that can either be paid with 25% extra, or compensated by free time in another week. And then even this maximum can be surpassed by another 2h/d, for a real max of 60h, if there is exceptional work that needs to be done, also paid with 25% extra, or compensated by free time in another week.

It seems a little complicated to me, lukily I haven’t really had to deal with those protections in the law yet, since my workplace is pretty sensible overall.

Ah that’s interesting, thanks.

Here in Switzerland if a shift is longer than 5.5 hours it needs to have at minimum 15min unpaid break for lunch by law. Longer than 7 hours means 30min unpaid lunch and longer than 9 hours means an hour unpaid lunch by law. Additionally if the split is uneaven such that the period before or after lunch is over 5.5 hours, then you recursively get another break following the above rule by law. But these are all unpaid and do not count as hours worked.

The usual reality for typical 8.2 h/d office jobs is that people take half an hour to an hour of lunch, unpaid, and companies allow two 15 min paid coffee breaks, one in the morning, one in the afternoon, despite not being forced to by law.

You get paid for lunch? Where is that? We don’t either in Switzerland

Nevermind the world. Even here in Europe in Switzerland the standard is somehow 42 hours a week.

Somehow that sounds a bit threatening, like Liam Neeson in that one oft-memed scene.

Just send the robot instead!

Just to be sure, who created the invite? A German native speaker by chance?

The first page of results when I deliberately google in English “what is a Jour Fixe” are the following:

• Blog entry in English written by someone from a Liechtensteiner Organisation
• Blog entry in English written about the German usage of the Term
• English Wiktionary entry
• German Wikipedia article
• Blog entry in English written by someone from a German Organisation
• Translation website treating it as a German term
• Blog entry in English written by someone from Austria
• Translation website treating it as a German term
• Blog entry in German
• Blog entry in German

Some of that may be personalized to me as a Swiss user of course. But it seems a bit much to be a coincidence. Maybe it is a loan word making its way from German into English now.

Jour Fixe

I don’t think they use that term in English. And even more surprising, they don’t even use it in French. It’s a French loanword that somehow only exists in German.

Probably this whole list, there is lots of code shared with Windows 7, but who really knows? Nobody is checking against Vista anymore.
