Born in 1805 in Jamaica, Mary Seacole was a pioneering nurse.
As a child, Mary learned traditional healing methods from her mother. Her mixed race family had few civil rights & could not vote, hold public office or enter many professions.
Known as 'Mother Seacole’ during the Crimean War, Mary helped wounded soldiers heal & find comfort.
In 1857, she published her memoirs, 'The Wonderful Adventures of Mrs Seacole in Many Lands'. maryseacoletrust.org.uk/learn-… #HistoryRemix #history #science

The amazing value of the eLife Assessment, demonstrated:
"The fascinating role of neuropeptide Bursicon and its receptor in shaping insect seasonal polyphenism", by Zhang et al. 2024
elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre…
"This *important* study shows that low temperature activates the bursicon signaling pathway during the transition from the summer to the winter form and that it affects cuticle pigment and chitin content, and cuticle thickness."
"The study's *solid* set of experiments and results reveal a role of bursicon signaling in regulating features of polyphenism related to the exoskeleton. Nevertheless, they only *incompletely* substantiate the authors' claims about the regulation of polyphenism itself."
In which other journal would a reader get such a valuable reviewer comment like this, right away? Only at @eLife ! ELife's Assessment for the win.

+1 reason why you must stop using Chrome and, if possible, Chromium browsers
(Upd: link to a post in Fediverse with tech details fedi.simonwillison.net/@simon/…)

It turns out Google Chrome ships a default, hidden extension that allows code on `*.google.com` access to private APIs, including your current CPU usageYou can test it out by pasting the following into your Chrome DevTools console on any Google page:
chrome.runtime.sendMessage(
"nkeimhogjdpnpccoofpliimaahmaaome",
{ method: "cpu.getInfo" },
(response) => {
console.log(JSON.stringify(response, null, 2));
},

in reply to Brodie Robertson • • •When a thing lets you get far enough along, with hints that the next step will work, that curiosity makes you pursue it.
I know Arch is sometimes seen as a go-to for hacking something together. Instinctively I would think Puppy or similar more suited given that it has the tools for layering a read-write filesystem in RAM over a read-only filesystem (say a squashfs), with periodic write-back to a persistence file.
I still wouldn't be the one to try it though.
