Right now, I feel so angry for Scotland ( and yes - I’d be devastated to be separated from them) but I completely COMPLETELY understand why they want to be severed from this selfish inward looking country of class -obsessed materialistic philistines ( present company excepted) and from Westminster.
And yes- it looks like this 👇

My coworker Lex has written up about the ground rules for incident reviews that we've established at Honeycomb. I'm super excited about these being in a shareable format now:

The flight of NASA's Artemis (purple) uses two very close encounters with the moon's gravity (green) to changes its trajectory to get back to the earth (blue.) Amazing.

I just want to put this out there: I'm a solo developer currently doing a vertical slice demo of an online multiplayer racing simulator.

I plan to keep the future team small. But I'm looking for potential partners to work with: physics programmers, audio engineers, env. artists and vehicle modelers. Especially if you've been a modder of AC, AMS1, rF2 or GPL. Or maybe has experience of working with vehicles and driving experiences in game.

I thought I was quite decent at #simracing, but every time I try out #RichardBurnsRally it's such a humbling experience!
My brain can barely keep up with the pace notes from @jonn
Here I manage to keep the car straight for 30 seconds, but I definitely crashed both before and after the clip :D

For anyone who doesn't know, @evan was largely responsible for OStatus, which is what the fediverse used to run on. Then later ActivityPub was based on Evan's Pump API.

@evan *more than anyone* did the key design work that the fediverse is based on.

Evan is being too humble. I am making up for it. Evan is awesome.

70 years ago the European Parliament first met.

It took a long time to make the EU a real parliamentary democracy… and on rule of law, budget, convention we still need to remind people and reinforce Parliament’s role.

A strong Europe = A democratic EU !

Today for #projects, one from 2003 - getElementsBySelector()

This might be the most impactful single function I've ever written!

https://simonwillison.net/2003/Mar/25/getElementsBySelector/

It was inspired by conversations with Andrew Hayward https://twitter.com/arhayward about his getElementsByClassName() function: https://web.archive.org/web/20030402172546/http://blog.mooncalf.me.uk/archive/2003/03/25

I believe the first version of jQuery used my code (before quickly rewriting it with a better implementation!)

Browsers finally got querySelectorAll() around 2013

🚨 BIG EXOPLANET NEWS! 🚨

Our team has released FIVE papers today on the most COMPREHENSIVE study of an #exoplanet atmosphere to date!

Using #JWST we obtained four transit observations of #WASP-39b early in the telescope's operations to study both the planet itself, and the telescope's capabilities to observe exoplanet atmospheres.

We detected numerous molecules in the planet's atmosphere, including CO2, CO, H2O, and SO2 🧵

The future is here! ⭐ 🪐 🔭 #Astrodon #Science
