I saw "Russian Doll" (the Netflix show) finally. I liked it. The stuck in a time loop trope is one I pretty much always enjoy as long as they do something interesting with it, and the emotional connection being the key, although there's not a super good reason for it (or a lot of it, really), was ultimately rewarding.
one criticism though: I'm not sure any of the writers has ever been in a code review meeting or asked a software engineer how one would be conducted. i don't even see a point to that scene
@heatherhorns IDK. in my experience they only look like doors and treasure chests, and just trigger if you try to use them... kinda like those spiders that jump out of their holes or a Venus fly trap

I’m doing a project featuring little-known women of science as a part of my studies as a lab technician.
I’ll be drawing some portraits and illustrating the research and discoveries of some interesting scientists✨
Let’s start!
🧬Nettie Stevens. American geneticist who discovered chromosomes X/Y by studying Mealworms (Tenebrio molitor)

though, honestly, I can implement it easy enough, just not what I think is "the right way"... probably not really the right way anyway. eh

If you need to write HTML for a login or account management site, I got a little tip for you.
The input's "autocomplete" attribute can be more than just "on" or "off"!
You can actually set autocomplete to "username" or "current-password", to help a password manager find the right fields.
In the case of changing passwords, you can set autocomplete to "current-password" or "new-password" to avoid password managers trying to autofill your current password into the new password field.
just spent 4.5 hours on a self-suggested "small matter of programming". so I think I'll just toss this one back into the backlog...

Adam is a pixel artist who creates images within the technical constraints of the ZX Spectrum computer of the 1980s. You can follow at:
The Spectrum hardware couldn't cope with more than two colours next to each other, so the art based on it has a very distinctive look.

Shameless self promotion! In my data visualization struggles, I often find myself searching "matplotlib colors" far too many time -- so I wrote a tool to display them in the terminal! Colorbars too :) https://github.com/AstroBarker/mplcolors

Ended up dumping some thoughts about ADHD-adjacent stuff and attention dysregulation and, believe it or not, pen plotters over on birb site while plotting something earlier:

Happy Friday! It's time to play #1vs2 again.
Last week's results: 2 point sources! Ya'll did really well. @holochromatic won a free sticker (can you message me a good address to send it to?)
Do you think this Chandra X-ray observation of a supermassive black hole is 1 or 2 X-ray point sources?
I will send a black hole space time sticker to someone who guesses correctly!
Other cool space stickers can be found at: https://www.etsy.com/shop/XtraGalacticStitches

On the bird app, I play a game with my followers called #1vs2.
I show X-ray data of supermassive black hole from the Chandra X-ray telescope, and ask my followers if they think it's an image of a single point source or a dual point source (aka possible a pair of SMBHs)!
For the smallest separated SMBH pairs, it's not very easy to tell if the data is 1 or 2 !
What do you think? Is this a single or a dual? I'll send a sticker of a black hole cat to someone who guesses correctly!

Watched Star Trek: Strange New Worlds last night and I was pleased they went straight for the notion that Star Trek is a post-post-apocalyptic setting. Like, it’s a hopeful future, but also a warning.
@mhoye love it. I have a huge collection of music from A. R. Rahman (composer, producer, etc.). maybe it's just me but the bass guitar seemed kinda quiet

Got some remarkable music dropped on me today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbcW7nxcP3E&list=PLsSVC1G6h5e5Z8dd_0TGlaai71Rzo1bT7
> School officials soon announced that the new name would be "The Antonin Scalia School of Law", but changed their minds after observers noted that this could be abbreviated "ASSLaw". Several days later, school officials announced a new new name: Antonin Scalia Law School,[20] a decision ratified by the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia on May 17.[21][22]
