@asrivkin - a #DART mission investigation team lead. Meaning Andy loves #asteroids, and also loves throwing spacecraft at asteroids

@sundogplanets - an astronomer + a goat farmer. Sam studies debris disks (kinda like the Kuiper belt in the Solar System) and talks about the problems with #Starlink

@xxyxxyart - Joel is an artist who makes little clay astronauts, aliens, dinosaurs, and more. I can personally attest to the quality of his creations (of which I have several!)

And if you want to know more about this #DARTMission that @_astronoMay mentioned, here’s a quick 2-minute promo NASA released about it a few months before last fall’s launch! https://youtu.be/g7zdeQ-Uw8k

«Il est peut-être temps de réfléchir aux alternatives qui existent»

Anaïs Ladoy, doctorante au Laboratoire de systèmes d’information géographique (LASIG), a opté pour l’usage exclusif de logiciels libres dans le cadre de sa thèse. Ceci afin de rendre ses résultats reproductibles et accessibles à toutes et à tous.

«Peu de personnes repartent dans les logiciels propriétaires, car une fois qu’on a fait ce choix, on s’y tient. Pour ma part, le pari était gagnant. Je suis encore plus convaincue maintenant qu’au début de ma thèse d’avoir adopté la bonne stratégie pour rendre ma recherche la plus accessible possible.» #floss #openstreetmap #linux #science #sig

Tricky video/imaging quesiton....

I have files I need to convert to vector files from raster files... is there a way to do this without messing up the quality of the images? The online free stuff seems to make the images look like looking through the bottom of a glass bottle...

I decided to create a new account here to focus on my #art work.
Here is my self #introduction :
I’m a plant pathologist, and painting #watercolor is one of my hobby. Since I study fungi, I have special interest in #BotanicalIllustration of fungi, and I also do plants. I like cooking and food, so I also have interest in #FoodIllustration. Sometimes I do some random sketches.
Living in Sweden with my husband and two awesome #cats .
Looking forward to making more friends here!

Dear #Scipy, #Python, and #GraphTheory experts, I want to find a sparse distance matrix of a subgraph, using #CSR matrices. I appreciate any ideas, here are the details: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72184296/run-a-multiple-source-dijkstra-to-the-k-closest-sinks-via-a-scipy-csr-matrix?stw=2.

Hey, dev peeps! Any recommendations for a Git client that's

(a) graphical,
(b) free,
and (c) works on Linux without too much hassle?

Currently I'm using Megit but I'm not super enthusiastic about it.

Since some of you asked: my illustrations are mostly done in watercolor and colored pencil, and for these detailed scientific paintings I often use references like photos.

I also love to keep a sketchbook and field sketching, I find it is so valuable to explore nature directly, and record my everyday observations in one place. This in turn helps me again with scientific details.

Below are a few sketchbook outtakes.
