C. M. Lowery et al. (2026) discovered a quick #recovery of #marinelife after the #massextinction ~ 66 Ma ago. They calculated a new #calibration using the #biostratigraphic #marker (#Helium-3 from 6 K/Pg boundary sites) and dated the #duration until the recovery of the #foraminiferbiozone of 3.5 k.y. - 11.1 k.y. after the boundary, instead of former theses ∼30 k.y..

Oh cool : on a maintenant aussi un formateur de durée (#duration) dans l'objet d'internationalisation de #javascript :

Le formateur de date est disponible lui depuis de nombreuses années.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Intl/DateTimeFormat

À noter aussi que l'élément html <time> accepte les durées :

En mêlant les deux on peut faire pas mal de trucs

“Everything about his [Bergson’s] theory of duration prevents us from breaking down any transformational reality—whether that's the transformational reality of consciousness, or the transformational reality of the external world and external transformations—into a series of static snapshots that are adduced and added together, and juxtaposed together, to give us continuity. Because you will always need the continuity as the thing that brings you from state one to state two.”
