NBC News: Three senior law enforcement officials tell NBCNews they're expecting #Trump to surrender at the #Fulton County jail no earlier than Thursday of next week. 

DA #FaniWillis gave Trump and his 18 co-defendants a deadline of noon on Friday to surrender.

okay you might remember this project that i posted about last year: https://posts.decontextualize.com/solar-powered-dawn-poems-progress-report/ in which I generate poetry from a markov chain on a microcontroller using a solar panel harvester chip and some big capacitors. i originally wrote the generator with CircuitPython, which gave me 2–3 lines of poetry per discharge from the harvester.

well I just finished reimplementing the generator in C++ and now I get... ~200 lines of poetry per discharge (!)

Here is a fun animation that will help you to understand the relative rpms of the planets.

Comparing the rotations of objects in the Solar System. Just look at them lol.✨🪐

To everyone that's confused, the planet Venus rotates very very slowly, with a single revolution taking about 243 Earth days, and Mercury rotates slowly, but not as slow as Venus.

@b0rk dont know if this would help, but hope it does;
i was never afraid,
when i started i already knew programming

every comand is like a function
everything that comes after the command are arguments

some comands return stuff
you can put that stuff as an argument into another command using pipe " | "

i always had the thought of:
what i dont know i can learn;
also whatever happens happens,
everybody makes mistakes (pros and newbies)
its just part of life

what helps people get comfortable on the command line? https://jvns.ca/blog/2023/08/08/what-helps-people-get-comfortable-on-the-command-line-/

Would love more stories of things that helped you in the last ~5 years!

(as usual, no need to reply if you don’t remember, or if you’ve been using the command line comfortably for 15 years — this question isn’t for you :) )

A lot of people ask me the difference between a white nationalist and a white supremacist.

• A white nationalist is someone who believes in a strictly enforced authoritarian racial ethnostate.

• A white supremacist is a white nationalist, with sour cream and diced tomatoes.
