The only feeling I have about starship is dread.

They want to use that to launch batches of HUNDREDS of Starlinks at once. And guess where all those Starlinks will end up? The pieces that don't make it to the ground will end up in our upper atmosphere, screwing up the stratosphere, the ozone layer, who knows what else because SpaceX isn't required to do any environmental assessments of this.

Shit. Maybe a good time to post this essay I wrote yet again: https://theconversation.com/an-astronomers-lament-satellite-megaconstellations-are-ruining-space-exploration-215653

And the USA's star player is a principal engineer at Oracle? 🤯🤯🤯

Please boost for reach: Open source project seeking technical writing contributors.

Ngscopeclient (https://www.ngscopeclient.org/) is looking for people to assist with end user documentation and, in the future, possibly developer oriented API documentation as well.

We welcome help from any interested parties, but are particularly hoping to find some familiar with electronics/embedded systems given the nature of the project. Documentation is LaTeX in Git.

As an open source project we have limited budget (at least until some of the in-progress products from companies using our software launch and start bringing in donations) so are hoping to find volunteer contributors, but I'm willing to throw some of my own funds into the pot if necessary. I can't afford to pay for a lot of hours at industry consulting rates but if you're willing to offer discounts for F/OSS then I'll try and work something out.

I just want a 27" (or more) all in one mac with all new bits.

but I could be swayed by a 20" macbook pro on a day where my resolve is weak.

No matter how hard you work, you're a lazy piece of crap compared to how hard "simply" is working in this sentence.

If you suggest an AWS region migration is simple, you should be caught with a net.

#JWST is often cited for its amazing work with galaxies, BUT LOOK AT IT DISSECTING UP THE CRAB NEBULA AND SHOWING US STAR GUTS FROM A 1000-YEAR OLD STELLAR DETONATION.

Wow! Look at the pulsar!

So epic that we can see this detail, the different structures, elements, velocities, energies, etc. from an event that Chinese and Japanese astronomers witnessed and documented 1000 years back.

We're connected through time with this event to them!

a blue cloud of gas, and embedded in it is a hot pink structure of twisted and looping filaments. This is the crab nebula and the blue represents synchrotron radiation and pink represents dust. Several arrows are annotated to show the gaps in the edges of the structure.

If you want to explain to yourself why companies keep launching all these dumbass AI products and hurting their sentiments and bottom line, keep this @Quinnypig banger in mind.

I found a redback spider nested up in the box next to my uranium test source and I’m fighting the urge to do the funniest thing.

It’s not a strong compulsion but it’s there y’know?

You, an idiot: MSG is bad for you and I, like many people are allergic.

Me, wise and learned: MSG is not bad for you. "MSG syndrome" was a combination of Sinophobia, an academic prank and the introduction of higher sodium cuisine than Americans were typically used to from the higher amount of table salt in American Cantonese cuisine. Periodically a prize is offered by science communicators for someone who can prove they have an MSG allergy. It is lower sodium than salt by quite a margin (15% versus 40%) and its role in managing hypertension is the subject of study. Also it tastes fucking great.
