Brooks should be driven out of public life. The fact that he knew there were photographs of himself with Epstein and he didn't disclose that while also telling people that they should move on is just straight up unethical.

In light of #RFKJr's announcement today of his plans to cut off life-saving #HealthCare for #trans youth, it seems appropriate to re-share this piece I wrote a couple of months ago. Real humans are going to be hurt by this, whether Kennedy and Trump understand them or not. https://www.defendpublichealth.org/opinion/we-must-stand-our-trans-neighbors

I had an idea for an intermediate Python tutorial to use Pygame to make a multiplayer 8-bit NES Zelda clone, with some new features but an emphasis on simplicity of implementation and modding. Thoughts?

(Emphasis on simplicity = saying no to most ideas. Value as a tutorial outweighs "cool game")

I was thinking about buying a new meter, but I decided to cross that wheatstone bridge when I get to it.

Watched Aura get to the credits of Iron Hammer from the Sega Channel files. Something funny about seeing this credited programmer who wasn't at the company anymore by the time it came out, since the game sat on the shelf for two years. Wonder if he even knew it was released in the end.

在個版上寫說「沒錢就不要生小孩」是心情抒發的自由，但跑去對正在生養小孩的爸媽講就沒必要了，熱心提醒要拿捏好才不會傷人。

滑大家在討論這個話題，看到不少反對「沒錢就不要生小孩」的人，對於「生小孩」的有關花費較陌生。

確實花心力陪伴小孩非常重要，那父母呢？
還沒當父母的，本來就可以拒絕沒苦硬吃。

討論跟錢有關的話題要有基礎認知，而不是用「上一代都不用花這麼多」的態度去逃避會出現的帳單。

許多人生完小孩不快樂，除了已知的女性在各方面需有所犧牲，還有生之前沒有好好兵推錢怎麼辦。

It always bugs me a bit when somebody is shipping a macOS application and they bifurcate (or worse) the download pipeline, particularly if they use weird bespoke terms that don't match Apple's branding. Manual download buttons for "x86" and "arm64" or "older Macs" and "M-series chips" are confusing and weird

The goroutine leak profile in the upcoming Go 1.26 is a big deal.

But the synctest package, available since 1.24, can also catch leaks just fine. I don't know why no one talks about this.

Anyway, it's time to cover both of them!

This really highlights how incredibly dependent we are on Starlink's continued perfect collision avoidance maneuvers. So far they've done it, but they keep adding more satellites and making it harder.

Other megaconstellations are now launching as well, and they all need to communicate PERFECTLY in order to not crash. Will China talk to Starlink? Will the US gov't secret satellites talk to OneWeb? This is all incredibly important so that we don't destroy LEO.

We set up a CRASH Clock website here: https://outerspaceinstitute.ca/crashclock/

Note that this is a probabilistic calculation. A catastrophic collision could happen sooner than 2.8 days of no maneuvers. In our (extremely computationally expensive) collision simulation, just by random chance we actually got the first collision just 3 hours in.

We are currently well inside the Caution Zone. The probability of collisions happening if no avoidance maneuvers occur is >10% in any 24 hour period.

Two incredibly talented students led the project. We figured out a much less hand-wavy analytical way to calculate close approach rates using real data from public catalogues. And then we also ran n-body simulations to double check. They agree very well! And are really scary!!

In the densest part of LEO (Starlink), there are closer than 1km approaches every 15 minutes. 1km sounds like a lot, but remember everything in LEO is moving at 7km PER SECOND

We just did the first refresh of our logotype since 2013! We rarely use this brand asset, but it's one of the first things you see when you visit our home page. The refresh changes the base typeface from Raleway to Inter and increases character weight while retaining the charm of custom characters like the "m" and "n" with no ascenders, the "t" with a half cross stroke, and the whimsical ligerature between the "r" and "y". It's subtle but feels a lot more modern. Enjoy!
