small update; am feeling heaps better and stopped taking ibuprofen last night - no increase in pain so far! however am still super fucking exhausted and a bit of an emotional wreck. the vaginal infection is lessening thanks to the meds but probably won't fully go away until I do another treatment after being done with the antibiotics. I still have to take antibiotics until sunday afternoon.

yesterday I was able to go see HT, which was a huge relief because she is on a 5 week vacation now. some young parts' wishes for the session came true: we cried (a LOT), HT held our hand, and eventually she read us a story. I got to take the book she read to us home for during her vacation, and also our favorite monkey plushie (Apie) gets to stay with us during her vacation.

I decided to take the rest of this whole week off of work to just recover properly. I'll go back to work next week. spoke to my supervisor this morning who gave me the excellent news that I'm getting a 5% raise next year, on top of indexation for inflation. not sure yet what the indexation will be, but even if it's despicably low and only 3%, that still totals an 8% raise. combined with working a few more hours starting january first, I really hope this will give me some financial breathing space again - for savings, for necessities (I fear I might need both a new phone & a new laptop the coming year), and also for some fun every now and then. I can't wait to see what my post-taxes salary will be next year. hopefully taxes won't take away too much, lol.

anyway. that was entirely too much money talk, sorry. just really relieved. gonna lay down again now. hoped to be able to play some stardew but my brain is just so so so sleepy and foggy.

Oooh an opportunity to talk about me, don't mind if i do

Last song: AJR - Burn The House Down (I'm still not fully started on my ToT reread, but wheelfic was what introduced me to this song, so I've already been getting anticipatory cravings 😆)

Favourite color: Red! Deep, saturated red my beloved

Last book read: Well, I'm currently bouncing between 'I Became A God In A Horror Game' and 'Evil As Humans' because I'm super reluctant to finish either of them and have no more of them left (they're both so good). But let me check what i last finished. OH. 'How To Feed An Abyss'! That was fun enough, nothing brain-rewiring. It was outside my usual wheelhouse, but I had a nice time, and I do love me a nonhuman protagonist.

Last movie: Transformers One! I had to see it before I went to tfcon. Guys, I'm dormant in the fandom, but I love these silly silly space robots so much. I think the bumblebee movie was probably a better movie, but this is my favorite of the transformers movies. Just aesthetically, i was eating WELL.

Last show: Show.... boy, I don't really television. A friend asked me to watch once episode of tv by Friday and I was like 'I'll try, but we both know this is Unlikely.' oh, wait, progress has been slow, but a different friend and I are working through 'Love Between Fairy and Devil', and I'm LOVING it so far!

Sweet/savory/spicy: Oh no, that's hard. I think... spicy

Relationship status:

Last thing I looked up: 'transformers one iacon gif' lmao. Earlier today I spent some time trying to look up the difference between redis and rest api interactions between software services, but I'm fighting my own deep apathy towards programming, so i forget what i learned

Current obsession: oh god. SVSSS, GHG, and EAH are all jockeying very hard for attention, and ffvii, raksura, and transformers are all making noise too. This isn't sustainable, at least not with all the work/home pressure I've been fighting, but I'm not sure what will slip

Looking forward to: I'm so close to having real hobby time back. I'm SO close. I'm rapidly losing my mind from lack of Making Things, but I am doing a really good job at work, apparently. If I can update a word doc draft, excel sheet, and make sysml progress tomorrow, then pick up fence brackets, dryer vent thing, and scope out fridge at home depot before work... That's technically a lot, but if i can do it, I'll be SET for free time tomorrow evening

General Huy Headcanons

Some Prince of Egypt head canons for my favourite sillyguy magical man informed by historical and literary accounts of Ancient Egyptian culture, the Tanakh, and apocrypha.

Huy's name is for the girls—and the boys. It’s unisex!

Hui or Huy was an ancient Egyptian name, frequently a nickname for Amenhotep. Famous bearers include: Huy, priestess during the Eighteenth dynasty, mother-in-law of Thutmose III; Huy, High Priest of Ptah during the reign of Ramesses II; Huy, viceroy of Kush during the reign of Ramesses II. [source]

Huy was actually a high priest of Ptah.

Huy was a High Priest of Ptah during the reign of Ramesses II. Huy is known from two shabtis (now in the Louvre) dedicated at an Apis burial in the Serapeum of Saqqara. The Apis burials are dated to years 16 and 30.[1] Huy may have served as High priest of Ptah from approximately year 2 to year 20 of the reign of Ramesses II. Huy was succeeded by Pahemnetjer. In pop culture, One of the advisors to Pharaoh in The Prince of Egypt (1998) is named Huy. [source]

Huy is based on the actual Egyptian magician in the Book of Exodus/Shmot who is named Jambres.

Jannes and Jambres, two legendary Egyptian sorcerers whose names appear in various sources as the adversaries of Moses. Jewish tradition seems to identify them with the sorcerers mentioned in Exodus 7:11... The names also appear in pagan Greek and Roman literature. Both Pliny (Natural History, 30:11) and Apuleius (Apologia, 90) mention the name of Jannes only, the former including him in a list of Jewish sorcerers the first of whom is Moses, while the latter names him immediately after Moses in a list of famous magicians. Both Jannes and Jambres… are mentioned and discussed in detail by Numenius, the neo-Pythagorean philosopher (quoted in Eusebius, Praeparatio Evangelica, 9:8; cf. Origines, Contra Celsum, 4:51). They are described as Egyptian priests who excelled in wizardry at the period of the "expulsion" of the Jews from Egypt and as having been considered by the Egyptians capable of rescuing their country from the disasters brought upon it by Musaeus (Moses). [source]

Huy was full-time as opposed to part-time since he was the high priest.

With the exception of the high priest, most priests worked only part-time.  The priesthood was divided into "hours" and served only one month out of every four. The rest of the time, they lived their normal lives in society, often working as mid-level bureaucrats. [source]

He lived in the temple complex.

During their religious service, priests lived within the complex of the temples of their deity. [source]

His beard is an accessory! He shaves completely every 3 days, but he can still wear hair as a fashion choice. Slay!

Oddly, though, they also retained a fascination for facial hair, or at least the appearance of having some. The Egyptians took shorn hair and sheep's wool and fashioned them into wigs and fake beards — which, even more oddly, were sometimes worn by Egyptian queens as well as kings [source: Dunn]. The fake beards had various shapes, to indicate the dignity and social position of their wearer. Ordinary citizens wore small fake beards about 2 inches (5 centimeters) long, while kings wore their phony whiskers to extravagant lengths and had them trimmed to be square at the end. [source]

His shoes were woven and made of papyrus.

Footwear was the same for both sexes. It consisted of coiled sewn sandals of leatherwork, or for the priestly class, papyrus. Since Egyptians were usually barefoot, sandals were worn on special occasions or at times when their feet might get hurt. [source]

Huy has his own apocryphon that was said to have been written by one of Pharaoh’s officials. Surviving fragments of this apocryphon tells of the adventures of him and his brother. He survives all the plagues, runs away with the Hebrews during the red sea adventure, and converts to Judaism. He has a sad backstory because he has to bury his mother and brother.

Jannes names Jambres as his successor and entrusts him with a secret document. He warns him not to accompany the Egyptian army when it marches against the Hebrews… The Egyptian army is drowned in the Red Sea while pursuing the Hebrews, but Jambres stayed away. Jannes's condition worsens and the family returns to their estate. [source]

What is Solr – Comparing Apache Solr vs. Elasticsearch

In the world of search engines and data retrieval systems, Apache Solr and Elasticsearch are two prominent contenders, each with its strengths and unique capabilities. These open-source, distributed search platforms play a crucial role in empowering organizations to harness the power of big data and deliver relevant search results efficiently. In this blog, we will delve into the fundamentals of Solr and Elasticsearch, highlighting their key features and comparing their functionalities. Whether you're a developer, data analyst, or IT professional, understanding the differences between Solr and Elasticsearch will help you make informed decisions to meet your specific search and data management needs.

Overview of Apache Solr

Apache Solr is a search platform built on top of the Apache Lucene library, known for its robust indexing and full-text search capabilities. It is written in Java and designed to handle large-scale search and data retrieval tasks. Solr follows a RESTful API approach, making it easy to integrate with different programming languages and frameworks. It offers a rich set of features, including faceted search, hit highlighting, spell checking, and geospatial search, making it a versatile solution for various use cases.

Overview of Elasticsearch

Elasticsearch, also based on Apache Lucene, is a distributed search engine that stands out for its real-time data indexing and analytics capabilities. It is known for its scalability and speed, making it an ideal choice for applications that require near-instantaneous search results. Elasticsearch provides a simple RESTful API, enabling developers to perform complex searches effortlessly. Moreover, it offers support for data visualization through its integration with Kibana, making it a popular choice for log analysis, application monitoring, and other data-driven use cases.

Comparing Solr and Elasticsearch

Data Handling and Indexing

Both Solr and Elasticsearch are proficient at handling large volumes of data and offer excellent indexing capabilities. Solr uses XML and JSON formats for data indexing, while Elasticsearch relies on JSON, which is generally considered more human-readable and easier to work with. Elasticsearch's dynamic mapping feature allows it to automatically infer data types during indexing, streamlining the process further.

Querying and Searching

Both platforms support complex search queries, but Elasticsearch is often regarded as more developer-friendly due to its clean and straightforward API. Elasticsearch's support for nested queries and aggregations simplifies the process of retrieving and analyzing data. On the other hand, Solr provides a range of query parsers, allowing developers to choose between traditional and advanced syntax options based on their preference and familiarity.

Scalability and Performance

Elasticsearch is designed with scalability in mind from the ground up, making it relatively easier to scale horizontally by adding more nodes to the cluster. It excels in real-time search and analytics scenarios, making it a top choice for applications with dynamic data streams. Solr, while also scalable, may require more effort for horizontal scaling compared to Elasticsearch.

Community and Ecosystem

Both Solr and Elasticsearch boast active and vibrant open-source communities. Solr has been around longer and, therefore, has a more extensive user base and established ecosystem. Elasticsearch, however, has gained significant momentum over the years, supported by the Elastic Stack, which includes Kibana for data visualization and Beats for data shipping.

Document-Based vs. Schema-Free

Solr follows a document-based approach, where data is organized into fields and requires a predefined schema. While this provides better control over data, it may become restrictive when dealing with dynamic or constantly evolving data structures. Elasticsearch, being schema-free, allows for more flexible data handling, making it more suitable for projects with varying data structures.

Conclusion

In summary, Apache Solr and Elasticsearch are both powerful search platforms, each excelling in specific scenarios. Solr's robustness and established ecosystem make it a reliable choice for traditional search applications, while Elasticsearch's real-time capabilities and seamless integration with the Elastic Stack are perfect for modern data-driven projects. Choosing between the two depends on your specific requirements, data complexity, and preferred development style. Regardless of your decision, both Solr and Elasticsearch can supercharge your search and analytics endeavors, bringing efficiency and relevance to your data retrieval processes.

Whether you opt for Solr, Elasticsearch, or a combination of both, the future of search and data exploration remains bright, with technology continually evolving to meet the needs of next-generation applications.

I maintain an observation beehive for the museum I work at in order to teach people about animal domestication, the honey industry, and biodiversity. I just wanted to add a little point-by-point debunk to this post so people can reference it if they need. I'm by no means the Ultimate Bee Expert, but all of the following information will be researched and sourced to the best of my ability.

For the purpose of my reply, I'll only be discussing Apis mellifera, or the western honeybee. This is the most common honeybee species in the world and can now be found on every continent except Antarctica. It's difficult to pinpoint the exact time they were 'domesticated,' but we have evidence of human-bee interactions through ancient Egyptian iconography (2400 BC) and even Neolithic rock art, in addition to beeswax in lipid residues preserved in pottery vessels. Ours is a very old relationship.

Photo by Puzzler4879 on Flickr. All creative commons.

It's also true that the western honeybee is an introduced species in North America. They were imported from Europe around the 17th century. They owe a good part of their success to human help, but Apis mellifera are also known to be a highly intelligent and adaptable species, changing their behaviors to take advantage of new environments. They are truly remarkable! Insect intelligence and cognition is definitely a field of science that needs more love. I don't have a PDF, but I highly recommend reading The Mind of a Bee by Lars Chittka for an excellent overview of hymenopteran behavioral research.

Now, let's get to it!

"Actually, beekeepers take many precautions to keep their bees from leaving."

As a standalone statement, this is true! A hive costs time, money, and effort, so ideally you want to convince those bees to stick around. Many of us also have a fondness for our hives and want to see them thrive by taking some basic precautions. These are things such as ensuring adequate hive airflow to prevent fungal diseases, situating the hive in such a way that it is protected from predators, providing supplementary food for your bees in times of scarcity, monitoring for diseases and parasites, and maintaining a balance of full and empty frames so that the hive isn't overcrowded and uncomfortable. If the bees have all of their needs met, they don't have reason to go rough it in the woods (similarly to how you and I are not abandoning our warm, safe houses and access to fresh food and water to sprint off into the wilderness. Well, I think about doing that a lot. But I shan't.)

But why all the fuss to prevent a hive from leaving? Swarming is a natural and predictable behavior. It's a colony's way of reproducing and tends to take place in the spring, and it can actually indicate the good health of a hive. In a swarm, the old queen takes herself and the majority of her daughters to find a new nesting location, leaving the rest of the workers behind with their provisions and new queen. The problem for both the beekeepers AND the bees is that most swarms fail and every single one of those bees dies. Less than 25% of swarms make it through their first year. It's more time, energy, and cost effective to manage swarms; be ready to collect the swarm and place it in a shiny new hive, or artificially split the hive beforehand to prevent overpopulation.

"many clip the wings of the queen, destroy new queen cells, cull queens they don't like and use bee pheromones to prevent a hive from naturally swarming or absconding."

Okay, so this is contentious. All of those ARE technically hive management practices. 'Queen clipping' is the practice of notching a single forewing, making sure to avoid the nerve and only clip a veined area filled with haemolymph. This reduces a queen's ability to fly, but not her ability to begin a swarm. The reason some keepers practice queen clipping is so the queen 'swarms' just outside the box, making the swarm easy to retrieve and place back into the box, split, whatever needs to be done. Queen bees only really fly during their nuptial flights and during swarms; their large bodies make it a cumbersome task, and they spend most of their life inside the hive laying eggs.

Now, I don't wholly agree with the author of that article I just sourced. Do insects feel pain? Do they feel fear? These are interesting and important questions that are difficult to study because both of those things are ultimately subjective. I tend towards 'yes'. In chapter 11 of his book, Lars Chittka writes "it is now clear that many invertebrates (and certainly all insects) have specialized sensory mechanisms to register tissue damage, and segregated neural pathways for nociception and regular mechanoreception" (245). Overall, there isn't much scientific literature on queen clipping as of now, so it's not something I would personally practice. But I can understand why other keepers might see this as the responsible thing to do to give their hive the best chance of survival.

Removing cells with unhatched queens, culling lackluster queens-- yes, these are things beekeepers may do. If the queen is not thriving the entire colony may die. It's like the trolley problem sometimes. The thing is, while I have personal proclivities about interfering with my queen unless absolutely necessary because I am a weak crybaby human, her subjects certainly do not. Welcome to honeybee regicide hour!

The queen is not a purely benevolent ruler; she secretes a pheromone that hinders the development of reproductive organs in her workers (the queen mandibular pheromone (E)-9-Oxodec-2-enoic acid (9-ODA) is responsible for this), and she seeks out and slaughters other prospective queens from the moment she hatches. Likewise, her daughters aren't messing around. When workers detect a drop in pheromones by an old and failing queen they will kill her (this is called supersedure). If the queen is not laying enough eggs, they will feed royal jelly to new brood to raise a rival queen. They will also starve, kill, and/or expel all of the drones, or male bees, at the end of the season, because they contribute nothing to hive defense or foraging and represent only a drain on the hive's food stocks (this is called drone ejection). Those aren't human decisions. Those are natural behaviors honed by over 80 million years of evolution. If anything, we take a page from their books when we employ these hive management practices. They are one of the world's most successful eusocial species for a reason.

"They also try and prevent mating with the African honey bee, which makes them less docile among other things."

I'm assuming this person is talking about the Africanized bee, which is a hybrid between A. m. scutellata (East African lowland honeybee) and various European species such as the Italian or Iberian honeybee. I'm going to lazily direct everyone to this Wikipedia article because there's a lot to know and I'm running out of steam.

Essentially, the hybrid was created with the goal of increasing honey yields, which has backfired because these bees tend to be more aggressive and prone to swarming. They also kill people. Which I suspect is the main reason people don't want their Apis mellifera boinking them lol. Makes the beekeeper's job a lot harder.

"Not to mention that honeybees are an invasive species in most places, competing with native pollinators and spreading disease"

Now we're getting somewhere! This is a very hot topic at the moment. As I previously said, Apis mellifera is invasive in a lot of its range. They receive a lot of attention from conservation campaigns and good PR, when really, it is our native and often solitary hymenopterans that need our help most. I'm going to quote Lars Chittka again. From the final chapter of his book:

"[Honey bee keeping] is not a contribution to nature conservation. The western honey bee, to the extent that it is kept in hives, is a domesticated animal that, despite media reports to the contrary, is not under threat. A hive of 40,000 bees will deplete floral resources that could otherwise feed 40,000 solitary pollinators, many of which are at the risk of extinction." (272)

But, recall, humans and honeybees have coexisted for centuries. The honeybees themselves are not, alone, the cause for native bee species' decline. Restoring habitats and reducing or banning pesticides, I wager, would do more for our native bees than if every honeybee simply vanished tomorrow. I could write a whole other post on this issue lol but it's a whole other can of worms, so I'll leave it.

I guess my takeaway here is that insects perform innumerable and incredibly vital roles in our ecosystems, which all living things share. Humans are animals. We are not separate from nature. Everything exists in a cycle of give and take, life and death, and humans and honeybees have been dancing that dance for thousands of years. I'm sure that at some point while checking my hive for chalkbrood I have replaced the lid and accidentally crushed a worker, prematurely ending her 5 to 7 week life. Someday I will also die and my body will be reconstituted into nutrients that feeds and meadows and flowers that the bees harvest from. And so it goes.

Wild that folks keep saying beekeepers abuse bees as if bees are not both venomous flying animals and fully unionized

Choosing Between SMPP and HTTP APIs for SMS Integration

Decoding the Secrets Behind SMS Protocols: SMPP vs. HTTP APIs

In today's fast-paced digital landscape, seamless communication is essential for businesses aiming to connect with their customers effectively. Two dominant protocols facilitate this, each with its unique strengths and use cases: SMPP (Short Message Peer-to-Peer) and HTTP APIs. Understanding the technical differences between these protocols can help organizations choose the right solution for their messaging needs.

At a high level, SMPP is a protocol originally designed for high-volume, reliable messaging between short message service centers (SMSCs) and external systems. It operates over TCP/IP and provides a low-latency, high-throughput environment suitable for bulk messaging. SMPP's architecture allows for detailed control over message delivery, delivery reports, and incoming messages, making it a favorite among large enterprises and telecom operators.

On the other hand, HTTP APIs are web-based interfaces that leverage standard HTTP protocols to send and receive SMS messages. They are easier to implement, typically requiring less setup and configuration, and are highly accessible for developers familiar with RESTful services. HTTP APIs are ideal for small to medium-sized businesses or applications that need quick integration without the complexity of traditional telecom protocols.

The Inner Workings of SMPP and HTTP APIs

SMPP functions as a messaging protocol that facilitates communication between external systems and SMSCs. It uses a binary protocol that can handle high volumes of messages with minimal latency. SMPP supports multiple message types, including text, binary, and Unicode, and offers features like message segmentation, delivery receipts, and session management. Its architecture is designed for stability and efficiency in high-demand environments, often requiring dedicated servers and specialized knowledge to implement.

HTTP APIs, by contrast, operate over the standard web infrastructure. They typically provide RESTful endpoints where developers can send POST requests containing message payloads. The server processes these requests and communicates with the SMSC or carrier network to deliver the message. HTTP APIs excel in simplicity and scalability for cloud-based applications, offering features like message status callbacks, user authentication, and detailed reporting.

Performance and Reliability Considerations

Choosing between SMPP and HTTP APIs often hinges on performance requirements. SMPP's low latency and high throughput capabilities make it suitable for bulk messaging campaigns, alerts, and critical notifications where delivery speed is paramount. Its persistent connection model ensures reliable delivery, but it also demands rigorous maintenance and monitoring.

HTTP APIs, while generally less performant in raw speed, offer the advantage of easy scalability and integration. They are well-suited for applications that prioritize rapid deployment and flexibility over ultra-high throughput. Modern HTTP APIs also support features like queued messaging and delivery reports, enhancing reliability for most use cases.

Security and Compliance Aspects

Security is a vital concern in SMS communication. SMPP connections typically employ SSL/TLS encryption to secure data transmission, and proper authentication mechanisms are essential to prevent unauthorized access. Its complexity means that organizations need to implement robust security practices and network monitoring.

HTTP APIs, being web-based, often incorporate OAuth tokens, API keys, and HTTPS encryption to safeguard data. Their simplicity allows for easier compliance with industry standards and regulations, especially in cloud environments where security protocols are managed by the service provider.

Integration Challenges and Developer Experience

Implementing SMPP can be challenging due to its binary protocol and the need for specialized knowledge in telecom signaling. It often requires dedicated infrastructure, such as SMPP servers, and ongoing maintenance.

HTTP APIs, however, are designed for ease of use. Most developers are familiar with RESTful APIs and JSON payloads, reducing the learning curve and accelerating deployment timelines. This accessibility makes HTTP APIs particularly attractive for startups and organizations seeking quick integration.

Choosing the Right Protocol for Your Business

The decision between SMPP and HTTP APIs depends on your organization's specific needs. For high-volume, mission-critical messaging that demands maximum control and reliability, SMPP remains the gold standard. Conversely, for rapid deployment, scalability, and ease of integration, HTTP APIs offer a compelling solution.
