What’s Up: October 2024 Skywatching Tips from NASA science.nasa.gov/solar-system/… #NASA #Skywatching #SkywatchingTips


Just finished this biography of George Beadle, written by Paul Berg and Maxine Singer. Rare to find a biography of an amazing scientist written by two other very accomplished scientists.

Lots of fascinating stories about early genetics research.

TIL about Euronet, a 1970s-80s internet experiment: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

"In the context of today’s global Internet, all of these past networks can be considered “lost events” in terms of Foucault—events in the history of computer networking which, unlike ARPANET or TCP/IP, do not have the present Internet as “a landmark or a point of reference” to which their histories can be meaningfully connected."

Exciting updates! 🎉 I’m particularly interested in the PineNote. Do you have a price in mind yet? I’m really looking for an open-source e-book reader, and it would be great to see it support productive use with a suitable Linux setup. Thanks for sharing the news! 😊📚
And keep up the great work 👍

@Debby The price will be the same 399 USD as the previous batch.


One of the issues with scientific peer review is that scientists are people. And people can be dicks.

I will never forget the review I got on a paper, I showed it to my aunt, and she cried because it was so personal and mean.

It was accept with minor revisions.

what will this mean? Will a bunch if Indie games get delisted from Germany?

this is pretty stupid. It should've applied to new games coming out only, not forcing 15 year old games that haven't been updated to get delisted.

Thanks! Saves me a lot of work and confirms my suspicion of a slow but steady increase. Maybe Phoronix could take a look at how you did that. 😀

Jimmy Carter is now too old to play with Legos 🧱


#HappyBirthday President #JimmyCarter!!! Jimmy Carter turns 100 today.

He is the first fmr #POTUS to live for a century. It defies all odds—Carter entered hospice care last year.

Health issues will keep him from attending celebrations in his hometown of Plains, Georgia where he still lives & they are celebrating the milestone.

He is delighted by #Harris’s presidential campaign & has said he wants to live long enough to vote for #KamalaHarris.

❤️🎈🎁🎂🎂🎁🎈❤️

A Nonilex story:

I was 6 when #JimmyCarter ran for reelection, & the news was predicting a loss. I adored Carter & was very upset he wasn’t going to be president anymore.

One day as I was walking down a very intimidating staircase, my daddy holding my hand, I asked, “Daddy, why don’t you run for president?”
He turned to me & said, “Baby, only idiots & assholes want to be president.”
“Jimmy Carter isn’t an idiot or an asshole,” I rebutted.
“He’s the exception, baby.”

#HappyBirthdayJimmyCarter

in reply to Nonilex

I voted for Carter twice. There are many reasons that he lost the presidency, including a number of events that were out of his control. It seemed to me that his downfall began with a national address on conserving energy. He was roundly mocked for wearing a cardigan and asking Americans to keep thermostats at 65⁰. I feel that many Americans then and now do not want to hear hard truths about fossil fuels.
Carter left office at age 59, his best days lay ahead of him.

Darn it, @Carsten Raddatz, I accidentally clicked the wrong address for you!
