Gina BlankI was in #Toronto last week for a conference; I always take at least some of my gear for off-hours exploring. Met some grey squirrels. This new mama was looking a bit rough (unsurprising, as anyone with newborns will tell you)--I learned from a squirrel aficionado that mama squirrels will pull out their fur to make a nest for their babies, since they often nest in cold spaces. Gives new meaning to parents who say their kids make them want to pull their hair out!
@jbcrawford The fact that water is not currently a danger cannot be relied upon over the length of time that radiation remains. How many 100's of years will monitoring be continued? Will written warnings still be readable in 1000 years? Or will it be like the runes of viking explorers?
@jbcrawford Fascinating article, as is usual for your writing. You don't mention the time frame during which the quantity of uranium and plutonium will remain dangerous. For context, 15,000 years ago a mile of ice covered Boston; 300,000 years ago humans first came out of Africa; 1.2 million years ago CO2 was as high as we will get if the Paris Climate Agreement limits are breached - and seas were 50 meters higher than today and no ice at the poles.
@jeffowski Thanks, always good to know where info is coming from so I don't just agree because it "feels right".
Glyph@SubductionRheology Ah. No. I wanted to write an article, but present some calculations along with it, so I wanted to author it as a jupyter notebook and have it rendered inline as an article. Basically I want https://github.com/danielfrg/pelican-jupyter but, like… maintained
@petergleick Except here they are refusing to listen to the intelligence people. Very sad.
@glyph I may have misunderstood what you wanted here. If so I apologize. What I thought you wanted was a way to create a PDF that looks like your notebook so you could put the PDF on your blog. In my experience using File->Print from the browser for a Jupyter notebook does not produce a nice-looking result. Marimo does produce a nice result.
@webology Kudos to a 7-year-old who know the work "arachnid". Maybe the song is a take on "Itsy-Bitsy-Spider"?
@glyph import it into marimo (https://pypi.org/project/marimo/). Within marimo you can use your browser's print functionality to print to a PDF.
