Just lost my job. If you need a broad skilled Python dev who has a passion for sharing information, strong full stack skills and data pipelines experience? I'm your girl.

(I also do public speaking, and I run an open source project in case that wasn't enough of a skill set for you.)

EDIT: I'm in the US for folks interested.

Any #gamedev people using the #godot / #godot4 game engine got a pointer for me on how to set tiles up so that they can include overlaps? Issue in the illustration below (with tiles from one of zeshio's lovely tilesets...)

Flowers grown on inexpensive floating platforms can help clean polluted waterways, over 12 weeks extracting 52 percent more phosphorus and 36 percent more nitrogen than the natural nitrogen cycle removes from untreated water, according to our new research. In addition to filtering water, the cut flowers can generate income via the multibillion-dollar floral market. https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/02/flowers-grown-floating-on-polluted-waterways-can-help-clean-up-nutrient-runoff/

According to Apple’s lawyers, "no reasonable user would expect that their actions in Apple’s apps would be private from Apple."

I repeat to make it clear: According to Apple itself, no reasonable Apple user should expect privacy when using the device.

So let’s make it even more clear: if you expect basic privacy using your Apple device, you are "unreasonable" (= a fool).

@realcaseyrollins some updates require human intervention and when something goes wrong you may find it more difficult to diagnose since things will be changing/updating without your direct acknowledgment. That said, I think the risks are minimal if they make the service more usuable and reliable

I'm tired of sitting through #science talks where all plots are properly credited but artist's impressions and photographs aren't.

As a researcher and astrophotographer who works with super talented artists, this attitude really bothers me.

You study galaxies at the dawn of time. You look for biomarkers in the atmospheres of distant planets. You can most definitely find who made that cool image you just pasted in your slides.

To those who do credit #art : you're awesome 🤗
