@geekmomprojects It's pretty shocking stuff what manufacturers of farming equipment are pulling off (and JD does seem to be at the forefront).
Have you listened to the Adam Savage interview on the EFF podcast last month? They were talking about that as well. Check from about 7:40 minutes in, but the rest of the chat is very interesting too.

"The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at and repair."

@niconiconi yes except literate programs were intended to be combined with other programs, and that's very difficult with a jupyter notebook

Old 32 colors pixelart picture,
320x180 px - Amiga palette, done in rush, so not perfect
I was trying to create impression of colorful composition within limitations of the computer:
- 32 colors from 4096 pool
- to compare: normal 8bit pixelart usually use up to 256 colors from 16,777,216 colors palette

The speaker asks "Can everyone hear me okay?"
Someone responds "Yes!"
The speaker starts their presentation.
The people who can not hear of course never respond.
I like this podcast for pointing me to interesting space stuff, but one of the hosts has a voice that's too ... sibilant, I think. somehow what he says just doesn't register unless I'm really focusing, where I'm usually only half-listening to a lot of podcasts. Also, I keep thinking it could use some "punch-up"... they have a lot of discursive dialogue that distracts me, and some of the details they include, where they basically just name components, are just lost on me.

yep, they are definitely nesting here. apparently a law protects them. I don't mind although I'm worried a call bit about parasites, so I'll probably remove the nest after they've raised their brood for the season

When Margaret wants sink water she doesn’t meow or bother me or anything. Instead she does this, which is much more unsettling

I set up the ActivityPub plugin on my WorldPress blog at leftish.media but it doesn't seem to work here at all - I cannot follow @stephen@downes.ca@leftish.media here in Mastodon. Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

okay so if the event horizon telescope is earth-sized
what if we built one solar system sized
stuck radio telescopes out in the oort cloud

@acousticmirror @hugoestr @IngaLovinde Lisp machines existed, were sold commercially. They had built-in hardware garbage collectors and tagged pointers, so what is normally associated with "dynamic languages being slow" was in fact plenty fast because the hardware itself handled it. Were even the world leader in 3d graphics for a while.

Don't forget the total lunar eclipse tonight (very early morning on the other side of the Atlantic)
