#OnThisDay, 24 Feb 1968, Jocelyn Bell Burnell - along with her male supervisor and three other men - published a paper confirming the discovery of pulsars. She had built the array, picked up the signal and argued it was not an anomaly. Hewish received the Nobel prize for it in 1974: Bell Burnell did not.

In 2018 Bell Burnell received a £3m prize for her work. She's using it to set up a foundation to improve the diversity in STEM.

ok I made a quick survey about which git commands you use, it's literally 1 question (run `history | grep -Eo '^(git\s+[^ ]*)' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn` and paste the output)

if enough people fill it out I will make some highly unscientific graphs

git commands

hello! this is a poll about which git commands you use. it's super easy to answer: just run this command in your terminal and paste the output in the text box below history | grep -Eo '^(git\s+[^ ]*)' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn or in zsh: history | cut -c 8- | grep -Eo '^(git\s+[^ ]*)' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn

Good news: Kiddos have learned that birds are dinosaurs.

Maybe not good news: They want to use the reassembled skeleton of this year’s Thanksgiving turkey to demonstrate this new knowledge to Grandma and Grandpa.

Pablo Galindo Salgado and I started a podcast about #Python internals. We call it "core.py", hope you like it!

The first episode is about the core sprint in Brno where we spent last week.

core.py • A podcast on Spotify for Podcasters

We talk about Python internals, because we work on Python internals. We joke about stuff, because we’re jokers. Episodes between 60 and 90 minutes in length. We’ve done more than a few so far and it doesn’t seem like we’ll be stopping any time soon! Hi Loren!

Me when I have friends over for dinner: “so we’ll start with this charcuterie plate and some cocktails and then we’ll have some seared tuna with seasoned quinoa and mixed roasted veggies. That’ll pair great with this wine! And for dessert I’ve made a homemade apple tart!”

Me on my own for dinner: “so we put the spoon in the jar of peanut butter and we dig”

Don't go posting parody advice about mixing bleach and acids to clean pans, that's how people gas themselves, their children, and most importantly, their pets. Stick with non-lethal parody advice. Ketchup and 25yr old single malt whisky for example, works brilliantly as a slug repellent.
Then, now, and forever more:
This made me chuckle 😂😂
