My periodic rave at how much I love #RSS (I am tying together lots of data for my work) and how it is truly the glue that holds together much of the open web. We are so lucky it gained critical mass before the worst of Web 2.0 took over and that it has lasted. We need to keep it alive at all costs.
RSS never tracked you.
Email never throttled you.
Blogs never begged for dopamine.
The old web wasn’t perfect.
But it was yours.

Wow – didn’t think I’d be in tears today, but this message sent home from Gaia as it was shut down forever today hits hard 😭

What you’re seeing is a map of the 106 CCD detectors that Gaia used to measure the positions of billions of stars in the Milky Way for the past 11 years 🛰️✨

They were turned off in a special sequence … 😕

“Boeing wins contract for NGAD fighter jet, dubbed F-47.” Never before have fuselage door plugs been launched at the enemy with such blinding speed!

I need a programming book for someone that knows the basics but needs an introduction to that language specifically. "Here's Go's syntax for an if statement, here's a for loop, here's a variable definition."

I'm tired of reading "An if conditional is a way to give your code the ability to make choices" over and over.

But also, as a Sysadmin with no CompSci classes under my belt, maybe also a "how to actually organize a program that spans more than a few functions" would be nice?

the easiest way to become radicalized about astronomy is to open a stargazing app and to make it highlight Starlink satellites

AI is not artificial intelligence. It's an aggregator that uses statistical analysis and pattern recognition to identify elements of a photo, of writing, or whatever task it's being used for.

Think of how many people here on social media can't grasp that.

Neither can CEOs.
