📝 New post: How I built the Typeset custom theme for this website
I’ve been running this site on Hugo for several years now, and for most of that time I used other people’s themes and tweaked things around the edges. A few months ago, I decided to build my own...

Had only two sales this month so if you could check out my shop or ko-fi or boost this, that'd help a lot! thanks
FCC reply comments are due by 5pm EDT Monday 30 March on Reflect Orbital. If you wrote in a comment, please please please write in again saying that they did not address your concerns in their letter (which is very hard to find in the FCC dumpster-fire-of-a-website).

The most horrifying part in their "consolidated reply": they agree that they could in fact cause permanent eye damage to people using medium-sized telescopes. WILD.
How Do You Do, Fellow Kids?
Armed with some research (H/T @neil) and after spending some time reading up the subject, I went to the Apple Store and then spent an hour on the phone to Apple account support yesterday.
They're very aware that they dropped a bollock here and have thousands of very angry adult customers.
The support team manager I spoke to yesterday said that some sort of fix was due within days
That's the /good/ news.

ICE planned to buy an old Big Lots on the Chahta Reservation for a detention center.
Yesterday the Chahta Nation purchased that facility instead.
Native humor is only outpaced by our way of dishing deserved pettiness.
Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma Chief Gary Batton released the following statement regarding the purchase of the former Big Lots facility and adjoining land near the Tribe's headquarters in Durant.
There is something I would like which I have not been able to find.
When I use the programming language R, I typically use the IDE RStudio. One of the things I like about RStudio is that it A: allows me to run individual lines of code, and B: it shows me the objects in the environment within another pane (see attached screenshot).
I find this extremely useful when working with code that is not mine - if I run part of the code and see the objects that are created, it saves debugging all the types (is it a list or a vector? etc)
I'd like to have a similar IDE that works with Python in the same way. Does such an IDE exist? Is it PyCharm?

OK! Toyota is ready to fight!👍🏿
Everyone looks at the number of cars that are sold in China each year, and begins to salivate. Their eyes turn to dollar signs!🤑
Then they get in market, and realize how much quality and value you need to pack into a tiny price.🤯
It's harder than spaceflight!
You can't just sell someone a basic, mid-level car for $60,000, and then expect them to put $5 a gallon gas in it every month. That only works on Americans that don't know any better.🤡
You have to sell someone a great car that they never have to put gas in, and that only costs $18,000.
Agent: uh... it says here your name is The Who, and your song is called, "Who Are You?"
The Who: uh-huh.
Agent: And I'm supposed to take that seriously.
The Who: A-yup.
Agent: Don't..... don't you think that's a little too... I don't know, silly?
The Who: 🎶who-who who-who🎶
