Home made vanilla ice cream with the first good harvest of the boysenberry bush planted this spring. Happy perihelion!

I recent learned that the latest generation of #USBC power meters can actually read the E-marker so I picked one up from Aliexpress. Pretty neat, and actually useful, I didn't realize which cables I had that were Gen1 vs Gen2 vs Thunderbolt3

A quick intro. I’m an Aboriginal of Wiradjuri/French extraction. My paternal grandparents were basically full blood (for want of a better descriptor) I was born in an era where removing Aboriginal children for the purpose of assimilation was common place, I’m one of those children. Latter I became a street kid, I now own my own professional practice. In the past I was a semi-professional boxer, and did a stint in the ADF. My wife is non-Indigenous. When I write about Aboriginal issues I’m speaking from my own personal experiences, or those of my family including those I was institutionalised with as a kid. I also work with homeless people and street kids. My non-Indigenous family have vicariously experienced much of whit I write about. A parting thought: racism destroys people’s hopes and aspirations and eats their souls. We are all brothers and sisters in humanity - this is worth remembering. Bakchos

#Bluewalker3 has returned to it's post deployment brightness.

We offer a possible cause of the dimming and a brightness model to explain it in the following paper:

Think about this the next time you're gonna tell a #infosec job seeker that the key to getting a job is showing "passion".

Protip:

When designing a user interface, imagine some old woman using it, say Margaret Hamilton, and she's clicking your app's buttons and saying to you, as old people do,

"Young whippersnapper, when I was your age, I sent 24 people to the ACTUAL MOON with my software in 4K of RAM and here I am clicking your button and it takes ten seconds to load a 50 megabyte video ad and then it crashes

I'm not even ANGRY with you, I'm just disappointed."

Hi folks who #studied a #CompSci degree, can you please tell me what #programming language you learnt in the first year?

Would you be okay with a fediverse-wide hashtag search (public posts only)?

Generational Poll. What generation are you? Please boost for more responses.
The system only allows me 4 options (sorry!).
Just let me say, all generations are great! 😀
This is just for fun and curiosity.

Happy 40th birthday internet! Who knew all this time later we would have misinformation everywhere and Elon trolling everyone on Twitter. That went well 😂 Happy new year!

Does anyone know if the guy who came up with the phrase, "One Hit Wonder," ever came up with any other phrases?

I am 100% not shitting you when I say scientists named mastodons after their teeth which they thought looked like nipples. “Mastos” as in breast. “odont” as in tooth.
We’re on a website that, in Greek, literally means “Booby Tooth.”

I'm sure that Lastpass setting the delete account div to display: none was a perfectly coincidental defect

Things I had success doing when my city was spending zero dollars on bike infrastructure:

1. Creating & printing a bike map
2. Removing "No Bikes" signs
3. Installing public bike racks
4. Organizing cyclists
5. Planning bike lanes-- some got included in long-term plans
6. Convincing the city to ask the DOT for a "complete streets" approach on a state road
7. Putting "Complete Streets" in long term plans.

Got a hypothetical question for #physics scholars and / or #scifi enthusiasts:
The characters in "Interstellar" discuss managing time dilation which makes 1 hour gravity affected time equivalent to 2 years of reference time. (that's a 1 : 17532 ratio!)

What is the gravitational field strength needed to cause such a time dilation ratio?

What would be the mechanical effects of such gravitational acceleration?

I attempted to make a calculation but the numbers made spreadsheet throw a conrod.
