The State of ES5 on the Web — Philip Walton
Should web developers and JavaScript library authors still transpile their code to ES5? This post looks at what the data suggests based on what popular libraries, tools, and websites are doingphilipwalton.com
When dogs recall toys, and horses plan ahead, are animals so different from us?
"If animals are more like us, it’s worth knowing – especially for those campaigning in their favour. When naturalists trying to protect elephant herds from hunters shifted from raw statistics and aerial photographs to creating elephant “celebrities” – with biographies and photographed in high-fashion style portraits – support flooded in. Kindness to animals, it seems, is often conditional on recognising that they are similar to us."
And tech bros are so fast to ascribe sapience to their AI creations, yet are unwilling to extend empathy to living biological beings. Thomas Huxley has a lot to answer for when he described animals as unfeeling machines. However, all of colonialism, industrialisation, and social hierarchy have a lot to answer for. All of them ascribe true humanity only to powerful white men. Everyone else are things to own and to use.

The basic mechanisms are similar with a 'tree'. It seems that if there is a brain, then there is 'personality' at some level. How that personality manifests itself to humans determines how humans interact with that thing.
And of course, there are lots of human 'personalities' too.

Remember somewhat recently there was a new campaign to highlight bot issues in Team Fortress 2 (TF2)? This was part of the SaveTF2 petition, which gathered over 340,000 names and now it's at Valve's HQ.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
I love that they went to the effort of binding this so nicely. Clever, not only does it legitimize it in Valve's eyes, but also makes a nice image for any media who are sharing the story
Someone over there knows what they're doing, and I love it so much!!!

Not seeing the moon's name (Phobos) right away (I see it now in the second, annotated image) encouraged me to take the jump, and find out about its (geologically) imminent doom. In the July 3, 2022 APOD:
"Phobos orbits so close to Mars - about 5,800 kilometers above the surface compared to 400,000 kilometers for our Moon - that gravitational tidal forces are dragging it down. In perhaps 50 million years, Phobos is expected to disintegrate into a ring of debris."
