For the first time ever, astronomers have unveiled the shape of a star’s explosion at its earliest stage.

The feat was achieved by ESO's Very Large Telescope just a day after the detection of this supernova, as the blast was breaking through the star’s surface.

This brief initial phase wouldn’t have been observable a day later. This will help shed light on how massive stars go supernova.

We'd very much like to talk to someone who uses something like Patreon subscriptions for working on 3d models for subscribers. We want to be able to support your workflow, and would love to learn from you about what you need.

Boost for reach, or intros to anyone that might be interested in talking would be much appreciated. ❤️

Hey folks, It's been a minute since Microsoft made me redundant in the middle of the year, and I'm finally feeling more settled after my move back to Australia.

I'm looking for work as as Senior Software Engineer anywhere in the security space, I have particular interest in Signals collection and processing, however I'm passionate about building tools and platforms for enabling researchers.

I've been involved the development and design of many of the tools and systems that powered RiskIQ before and after acquisition, I'm particularly proud of our port scanning system (https://internetscans.microsoft.com/) and the early iterations of our OSINT collection and publications (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/business/siem-and-xdr/microsoft-defender-threat-intelligence).

I'm also open to working in other industries.

Looking for full remote or hybrid roles preferably in Sydney or Melbourne.

Thanks in advance for any leads or assistance!

Damn. RIP the absolute titan of British acting that was Prunella Scales.

I wrote this Fawlty Towers short story a while back as a tribute to her performance in it.

Shared in her memory. https://authory.com/JohnBull/No-Pasaran-a26e385ea23a3460d906757b9f48bfe3d
