The Hidden Beauty of Seeds & Fruits by Levon Biss, 2021

The Botanical Photography of Levon Biss
A highly original collection of high magnification photographs that unlock the hidden beauty of seeds and fruit, from the author of Microsculpture The Hidden Beauty of Seeds & Fruits is a photographic study that celebrates the wonders of nature and science in mind-blowing magnification.




Levon Biss’ striking photography captures the breathtaking and beautiful details of the world of carpology, the study of seeds and fruits. Each picture reveals minute features and textures that are normally invisible to the naked eye, providing the audience with an insight into strange and often bizarre adaptations that have evolved over thousands of years. After spending months searching through the carpological collection at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, Biss selected over a hundred striking samples to be featured in this book. Captioned with scientific text that provides the backstory for each specimen, The Hidden Beauty of Seeds & Fruits is guaranteed to amaze, entertain, and educate.

Upcoming Changes to Let's Encrypt Certificates

Link: community.letsencrypt.org/t/up
Discussion: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4

Upcoming Changes to Let’s Encrypt Certificates

Let’s Encrypt is introducing several updates to the certificates we issue, including new root certificates, the deprecation of TLS client authentication, and shortening certificate lifetimes. To help roll out changes gradually, we’re making use of ACME profiles to allow users to have control over when some of these changes take place. For most users, no action is required. Let’s Encrypt has generated two new Root Certification Authorities (CAs) and six new Intermediate CAs, which we’re collecti...

UKRAINE SINKS RUSSIAN SUB!

Ukrainian Security Service hit a Russian NATO Class submarine in Novorossiysk.

For the first time in history, Ukrainian SubSea Baby drones have blown up a Russian Varshavianka 636.3 submarine. It was critically damaged.

Four Kalibr launchers were located on the submarine. Russia attacks Ukraine with these cruise missiles.

The submarine was worth about $400 million.

The hero who disarmed a terrorist near Bondi beach has been identified as Ahmed al Ahmed.

Or as they say… another one of those damn Muslims coming over here with their heroism and intelligent thinking, saving our lives from the terrorists — it must be stopped.

Racists, wake up.

54 years on this little blue rock today. 🎂 one more year till I can start raiding my almost inconsequential pension fund to do some much needed work around the house and put my hopes entirely in my parents accumulated boomer wealth to keep me in my old age.

a nice bit of UX i just noticed at polishpasazera.pl (one of the Polish train website). not sure when they added it, but it's clear that some serious thought went into it.

it reads something like:

Travel time: 6h
Number of changes: 0
Direct train cars: yes

with a tooltip that reads:

The train includes direct train cars from Katowice to Leipzig Hbf. The direct cars are: 267,268,269,270,272.

The trains CHEŁMOŃSKI 132 SAXONIA 3803 and SAXONIA 60003/132 are linked, which means there is no need to change trains.

Please make sure to take a seat in the section going to Leipzig Hbf.
screenshot of the UI described.

Building an efficient hash table in Java

Link: bluuewhale.github.io/posts/bui
Discussion: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4

Building a Fast, Memory-Efficient Hash Table in Java (by borrowing the best ideas)

One day, I ran into SwissTable—the kind of design that makes you squint, grin, and immediately regret every naive linear-probing table you’ve ever shipped. This post is the story of how I tried to bring that same “why is this so fast?” feeling into Java. It’s part deep dive, part engineering diary, and part cautionary tale about performance work. 1) The SwissTable project, explained the way it feels when you first understand it SwissTable is an open-addressing hash table design that came out of Google’s work and was famously presented as a new C++ hash table approach (and later shipped in Abseil).

Thanks Slack, for putting a notification in my "if something happens in here that means someone got ahold of a canary token and that would be a very bad day" channel.

That notification said "hey Mike, it seems a bit quiet in here!"

THERE IS A REASON FOR THAT, THANKS FOR MAKING ME CRAP MY PANTS
