India is on the moon.

Space Director confirms: "Soft landing"

#space #chandrayaan3

At mission control live images from a camera on #Chandrayaan3 during descent are shown on a display!

Chandrayaan 3 landing on the moon is getting close, with powered descent in progress.
Approximately 15 minutes to go.🤞
Been a while since anyone has stuck a Lunar landing, and so far it's looking like an excellent day for science and India.

This post is a great reminder that when writing technical documentation, your readers will just copy your examples verbatim a lot of the time.

You have to be thoughtful about things like sample code or example configurations because that’s actually going to be a lot of your customer’s production code and deployed configurations.

This applies outside of technical writing as well. People treat analogies and examples as just as canonical as the thing you’re teaching.

The most surprising fact I learned from #Oppenheimer is that if you have a crying toddler you can just GIVE THEM to a fellow academic for several months at a time. Absolute game changer!

RIP Kris Nóva. I had her on the show and was blessed to spend time with her just a few months ago. She was a genius and made things better. https://youtu.be/nJSxRqJ2kgQ?si=3ei04Z3MmJan3XsC life is short. Focus on your friends and family and your health. Everything is fleeting.

Introducing Bark! Low-latency multi-receiver live-sync lossless audio streaming for local networks. It's like Sonos, but open source, so nobody can brick your devices remotely. It's also written in Rust :)

https://github.com/haileys/bark

It sends 48khz uncompressed float32 data over UDP multicast. It can achieve playback sync to within hundreds of microseconds in ideal conditions, and usually to within a millisecond.

I've been working on it in my spare time over the past week, and I'm pretty happy with how it's shaped up. I have three receivers setup and it works remarkably well at keeping everything in sync as I walk around my house. For now it only really works on Linux, and supports Pipewire (and Pulse in theory), but there's no huge impediment to making it truly cross-platform.

It also features a fancy live stats subcommand, which can used on any computer in the same multicast domain to watch the status of the stream cluster:

Correlations between changes in #CosmicRay intensity ☢️ and #earthquakes are not apparent in location-specific analyses. They only appear when seismic activity is taken into account on a #global 🌏 scale. https://phys.org/news/2023-06-intriguing-earthquakes-cosmic.html

Oh wait, I’m told it’s a flood.

One of the hilarious things going on is that the big capital-owned news companies in Canada decided that they wanted some of Facebook's money.

So they bribed the Canadian politicians into writing a copyright law which requires that anyone who links to the big capital-owned news companies pay those big capital-owned media conglomerates money for every link.

😆 🤣

Obviously Facebook then just stopped allowing their users to do that, because they don't even want their users to leave Facebook and go to news company websites anyway. It's the users that wanted to be able to link like that.

😆 🤣 And now.. And now..🤣 😆

For reasons not unrelated to the corporate/capital capture of law and sovereignty, all of Canada is in fire.

People are trying to tell their friends on Facebook about how they have to immediately leave the town because it's going to burn down and they are all going to die.

But they are trying to do so by linking to the local capital-owned news media conglomerate's web-pages.

But doing that isn't allowed any more because, the news media conglomerates demand payment for that sort of thing, backed up by genuinely paid-for "democratic" bribery to the Canadian political parties.

😆 🤣 And now.. And now..🤣 😆

The Canadian government is today demanding that Facebook allow the linking even though it's the Canadian government's laws that tax and so forbid it.

😆

This timeline is so fucking cursed. I really hate it when Facebook is right.

Though I do hate it more when people are all burning.
