Still thinking about this image

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.

i mean this sincerely i love spreadsheets for pretty much everything

Adam is a pixel artist who creates images within the technical constraints of the ZX Spectrum computer of the 1980s. You can follow at:

➡️ @helpcomputer0

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!

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.

Got some remarkable music dropped on me today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbcW7nxcP3E&list=PLsSVC1G6h5e5Z8dd_0TGlaai71Rzo1bT7

There's a group of fossil bivalve mollusk with genus name Megalodon.

There isn't much online about them, but ask GPT-3 to write a press release about them and it will generate lots of "details" about how it's a giant terrifying predator.

Hey scientists: at my work Hack Day I want to build something to show extra information about scientific papers quoted in news articles. In a perfect world where all metadata is accessible, what sort of information do you think would be most useful for lay news readers to have?

I don't often tweet about roles at https://labs.quansight.org, but this one feels a little special🙂. We're hiring for a Pandas maintainer!

Apropos of nothing, here's a nice picture of Saturn's moon Mimas, with Herschel Crater prominent on the right. This image was taken in 2010 by the Cassini spacecraft shortly before being caught by it's tractor beam.
