concurrency is when you frost a cake while the next cake is in the oven

parallelism is when you have two people frosting cakes

Some massive star clusters shine bright for our Fermi telescope’s gamma-ray eyes due to the numerous fast-spinning pulsars they are likely to contain. This sky map highlights three of our galaxy’s largest globular clusters plus a few notable binary star systems. #StarrySights

An observatory that will capture light from Earth’s outer atmosphere is set to launch in 2025 with a new name – The Carruthers Geocorona Observatory – in honor of Dr. George R. Carruthers, who designed & built the first lunar telescope, flown on Apollo 16. go.nasa.gov/3XRVMNb

I'm 53 and this is the first time I've heard of him. You're doing good nasa, but you can do better. Should have named the web telescope after him.

Content warning: spritely vs plan9


comparing goblins to plan9's distributed programming, the main advancement seems to be garbage-collected datastructures.

this doesn't really do a lot to address what i think is plan9's actual biggest flaw, which is how you have to set up all the namespaces and such. if you want to make a change to your namespace in a reproducible way, usually you end up editing your boot script and rebooting.

all the messing about with creating vats reminds me a lot of the plan9 init dance.

Content warning: spritely


just got around to checking out spritely goblins and to be honest...

it really doesn't seem to do much of anything right now.

sure, you have tranactions, but that doesn't seem to be strictly enforced, and such doesn't seem to be majorly useful over just writing code in a functional style.

The nitrogen in your DNA was once inside a small star. 🧬 That star shed its outer layers at the end of its life, forming a planetary nebula and freeing its nitrogen to become part of our solar system. #MondayMotivation

Content warning: package managers


what's up with me having to manually decide how often to refresh the package index in so many package managers?

emacs gives me error messages until i run package-refresh-contents, xbps has me pass -S.

all of these give weird "not found" errors if you don't refresh the index enough, with no indication of what you need to do.

Okay, cabling aside, I think my portable #Nintendo gigging setup is pretty much good to go now!

I'd love to hear from other #chiptune, #chipmusic, and #micromusic folks about what their portable setups are like.

In fact, I'd love to hear from people outside the scene as in sure there are lots of #musicproducion, #synth, and #livemusic nerds doing interesting portable and #DAWless setups.
