OSS docker project pet peeve: PLEASE don't make me run a bash script to generate a compose file.

Just give me a damn example compose file and Ill modify it as needed. It's a huge PITA for deploying a new project to a remote server where I'm not running command straight from CLI.

The Wikimedia Foundation, which owns Wikipedia, says its bandwidth costs have gone up 50% since Jan 2024 — a rise they attribute to AI crawlers.

AI companies are killing the open web by stealing visitors from the sources of information and making them pay for the privilege

Wrote a thing looking at yesterday's dissent from Alito, comparing it to SCOTUS rulings he joined in the past two years, and highlighting how there's only one principal for Alito about exec power: GOP Presidents have absolute power. Dem Presidents have none. www.techdirt.com/2025/03/06/a...

This is the color of infinite hotness.

This is the color something gets in the limit where its temperature approaches infinity. Of course you’d instantly be fried by gamma rays of arbitrarily high frequency, but this would be its spectrum in the visible range.

This is also the color of a typical neutron star. They’re so hot they look the same!

It’s also the color of the very early Universe!

This was worked out by David Madore, and you can find the details at my blog article, including a discussion of whether this is exactly the right color:

Luckily, the alternative someone suggested is so close I can't tell the difference.

For computer screens and cell phones this color is approximately #98b5ff.

Perhaps we should call it "baby blue" - for the early universe.

@johncarlosbaez I feel like artists have already settled on this kind of hue for neutron stars so it's interesting to see the agreement.
