Ever wanted to make a climate map?

#python

I'm finally able to remove #Python 2.7 from my #Debian systems without giving up anything I use. Certainly has been a long time coming. Hopefully the Python community never has to deal with such a long good-bye again.

I wonder if #software engineers who never write #documentation just keep answering the same questions over and over again, but they're ok with that. I rarely expect people to read my docs before they ask me something because there's a lot to read, and they won't necessarily know what to attend to, but I save so much time if I can just point at stuff I've already written.

Cool demonstration of a #photolithography technique. I think I first heard about photolithography in high school when some National Instruments guy casually described it during a tour, but I don't think I've had as clear of a picture for the process as I do after this video.

Really interesting story

I actually thought of an interview Lex Fridman had with a sleep researcher (probably this one, https://lexfridman.com/andrew-huberman-2/) about how temperature is a good signal for distributed coordination just before Webster brought up dinosaurs. This is exactly the kind of thing I've been thinking about lately: living systems have all sorts of thresholds like this and we don't know how many of them we're just sidling up to.

#openworm opened up recurring contributions with OpenCollective https://opencollective.com/openworm
It's a pretty nice site: you'll be able to see what the funds are spent on and contribute directly to specific things, like studentships

I wish my local #NPR station would play #BBC science and culture programs during the day instead of only at night and early morning. these are really fascinating and better than a lot of the domestic stuff they do run...
