@brucelawson Fun* fact: Leo (Fender) got it backwards because tremolo is a variation in volume, while vibrato is a variation in pitch, so he should have called it a vibrato arm.

@brucelawson I have this nagging feeling that the lil’ dicktator half-mouthed that some report that happened to be printed in Fraktur was difficult to read and the sycophants took that as gospel.

Web Components Workshop topic of the day: ShadowDOM vs LightDOM for our Web Components Library. Thought I was going to get the team to split the lib between Atoms=Shadow, Organisms=Light.
Surprise, surprise, overwhelming support for LightDOM.
Damn, I’m proud of my team!
Keep it open, keep it flexible.

It's becoming increasingly clear to me that Reflect Orbital's fucking stupid giant mirror satellite, with absolutely NOTHING useful to offer, which will cause countless safety issues, ecological disasters, and destroy the night sky, is going to launch.

A bunch of astronomers and I have sent out a fact sheet about them to a bunch of journalists, but very few are going to write about this. So, let me try posting it all here.

Here's what I know about Reflect Orbital and all the downsides:

It’s hard to imagine how this is even possible on the web, but it is, and we should celebrate that.
