I don’t know what this means but the graph is pretty

That’s a rough of the sketch, they’d probably be more recognizable if the real thing had been made

In what way? I generally assume anyone that’s following thousands of people and not getting many follow backs is engagement farming or something.

I’ve just been blocking accounts with like 10x more following than followers, none of them are interesting anyway

I’ve always thought of it as oomph.

This. It means “reduced to a small fraction,” not “destroyed.” I think at this point the actual meaning is dead and now there’s no good word for “reduced to a small fraction” anymore.

But with surprisingly few similarities beyond the syntax.

She’s 13th on that list, the carbon footprint of her private jet use alone is 66 times larger than the average American.

Yeah, not the most appealing prospect.

No idea, but I would speculate that you would only be biologically youthful for a few decades and the rest would just be extended old age, so whatever brain processes that do this would kick in early in your life.

I read somewhere that older people don’t regret things as much as young people do.

I mean…you do just post tons of photos without crediting the photographer.

Why would they test it over heavily populated areas though?

This is currently my favourite one, showing a global energy revolution is happening right now.

Nice! I’m not sure what the first screenshot is of, but if you need machine-readable RFCs you don’t have to parse the text, they’re available in XML (and PDF iirc).

This is not why they ask for credit card info. Also you can make multiple accounts that pay with the same card.

There’s declarative shadow DOM now, but even that doesn’t enable HTML reuse and you get all the accompanying shadow DOM problems.

Yeah, makes sense. I found a buried comment from the OP on that post saying El Capitan was shot separately an hour before the sky.

Other than their $40 billion endowment you mean.

@fcain.bsky.social found the original source of the photo, they stacked 10 60s exposures from a tracking mount. www.reddit.com/r/EarthPorn/...

Put the camera on an equatorial mount, trailing is more noticeable on the stars than the landscape. That might not work as well in this case though because there’s a detailed foreground object instead of just a horizon silhouette.

All great questions for the OP. I’m only able to see a heavily compressed version of the image so I can’t evaluate how sharp it is.
comment in response to
post
I’m pretty sure there are techniques for avoiding that issue, also Andromeda is very bright and this photo could have used an exposure time less than 30 seconds to avoid star trailing.

Not fake, the Andromeda Galaxy really is that big. It is twice as wide and six times as long as the moon.

Unless it’s Qt because you’ll need to import like 200 different classes and they all start with Q anyway.

The Andromeda Galaxy is 1 by 3 degrees, not 1/4 of a degree.
comment in response to

Yep, the moon is half a degree across and the Andromeda Galaxy is 1 degree by 3 degrees.

Yes, but only if you enable checking for that with `set -u`. And even that doesn’t catch the case where the variable is set but empty.

It’s one of my favorite book series! It’s a web serial right now, with printed books/ebooks on the way. practicalguidetoevil.wordpress.com

Do you have a citation? The stars in this image have 4 diffraction spikes, but Webb produces 6 large spikes and 2 small ones. This might have been taken by a different telescope or Webb might produce 4 spikes with a secondary instrument or something like that.

Have you by any chance heard of Practical Guide to Evil? It’s not quite the same thing but similar.

Nice! it’s always hard to find time for them, but I really enjoy the movies.

As a relational query language, SQL sucks. It’s still better than any other mainstream language at what it does.

I actually did do that!
