how have i never realized how weird the spelling of "patient" is.

on top of "t" somehow making "sh" sounds, all the vowels are making the wrong noises.

how does this end up as "pay shunt"

"oh i this should be a trivial thing to extract with xpath"

hmm, it gave me slightly more than i wanted, i could fiddle about trying to make the query work right... or i could just pipe it through sed...

apperently google search blocks the curl user agent with a 403 forbidden error.

you know. the user agent, the thing everything is lying about all the time.

see, the reason why i like the id attribute is it makes it really easy to scrape data off of websites.

also url fragments are cool

if you ever need to evaluate xpath in a script, xmllint can do it and is pre-installed on most systems

it can even do html parsing!

The world's timekeepers are getting rid of the leap second in favor of pure atomic time. "It will take a few thousand years for atomic time to diverge as much as an hour from Earth time." nytimes.com/2022/11/14/science…
in reply to kottke.org

I don't mind this change, as a practical solution to a real problem, but it's disheartening that we're making timekeeping less accurate in order to conform to a bad, oversimplified software abstraction from the 1970s.

Earth is experiencing a weak but prolonged La Niña – cooler sea surface temperatures in the tropical Pacific. 🌊

This is the third consecutive northern hemisphere winter with a La Niña, making it a rare “triple-dip” event. go.nasa.gov/3iW1PjR

This map of sea surface temperature anomalies on November 29, 2022 shows the signature of La Niña – a patch of cooler water (shown in blue) in the central and eastern Pacific.

Data are from a blend of @nasa, @noaa, and other satellites as well as ship and buoy observations.

it was an big year for NASA! Thanks for bringing back the moon missions. Last one I experienced was when I was 4 and I’m just as giddy now as back then. :dancingpenguin:

Alaska has nearly 1 million miles of rivers, but only 10% of them are gauged, or measured.

By #TrackingWorldWater, SWOT will measure the height of surface water from space and help groups like the Alaska Department of Fish and Game better manage salmon spawning and survival.
#NASAEarth

in reply to NASA

There is misleading. Presumably this means that ~10 percent of rivers have one or more gauges, not that >100,000 "miles of river" are gauged.


SWOT will allow us to see Alaska’s waters in ways we haven’t before, which is important, because Alaska, being in the Arctic, is also where the U.S. is experiencing the most climate change right now.

Sure would be nice to watch you on a platform that doesn’t track it’s users, like say, #Odysee (and before anyone says that they use #GoogleAnalytics, they removed this from the Odysee platform just recently)… It always struck me as odd that the biggest #Linux gaming site is so supportive of a proprietary platform that is infamously one of the biggest data hoarders on the Internet. 🙄

#Apollo17 astronaut Harisson Schmitt suffered from “lunar hay fever” in reaction to the lunar dust. Unlike Earth’s dust particles which are rounded, Moon dust is sharp and abrasive, irritating astronaut eyes, nasal passages, and lungs. #Apollo50th @NASAMoon

in reply to NASA

We (myself included) have taken this for granted for 50 years. But … Damn, we built rockets, spaceships, protective suits, & all the comm/control systems to make it work, … and then sent people to the MOON! And back!
And we did all that with the primitive computing capabilities available back then … 🤦‍♂️

absence of atmosphere so nothing to abrade dust into smoothness?

The students in my upper-level electrodynamics course are taking their final exam right now, which always reminds me of the time I told my students they could bring a formula sheet to the final exam as long as it was on one side of a piece of paper.

reshared this

in reply to Robert McNees

That same semester, a grader for our Quantum Mechanics class told a different student (who submitted really long homework papers) "you aren't writing the Magna Carta."

That student turned in his next homework on a handmade "Magna Quanta" – a full length scroll with the complete text of the Magna Carta written on it and his homework solutions at the end.

When two galaxies encounter each other, it takes 1-2 billion years for them to merge and settle down. While the stars already in the galaxies don’t change much, the collision can spark lots of new stars to form! ✨ #MondayMotivation
