Nearly every material, whether it is solid, liquid, or gas, expands when its temperature goes up and contracts when its temperature goes down.

There are a few exceptions, but by and large, materials conform strictly to this principle. There is, however, a class of metal alloys called Invars (think invariable), that stubbornly refuse to change in size and density over a large range of temperatures.

For over 100 years, the source of this unique property has remained a mystery, but now, researchers have finally discovered the mechanism that causes Invars to behave the way that they do.

It's my latest for work.

A rare opportunity to join a small but mighty team. 100% kind, thoughtful, and smart humans whose mission it is to improve software development, for all developers (and future developers!)

Please boost for reach! We're a team that has the agency of a startup, the resources of a GitHub, and broad latitude to define what we investigate. It's my dream job. Maybe it's yours? ❤️✌️

And I caught Microsoft at doing this nasty thing again.

First time I noticed Microsoft doing this on Microsoft Designer website: https://collar.place/@Sominemo/110275107838229822

Ummmm...

The only X I really care about.

apparently twitter has a new logo that is like the X11 logo

imagine given up (whatever small) brand recognition twitter has for... X.

twitter has managed to get people to use "tweet" and "tweeting" as nouns and verbs.

"Yo dawg, just X me the deets"

Apropos of everything, I assume Xitter is pronounced "shitter."

In 2000, Elon Musk tried to rebrand PayPal as X.com, but was forced out by the board and replaced as CEO by Peter Thiel.

Now he’s doing the same to Twitter, but is surrounded by sycophants who can’t tell him it’s a bad idea.

DUNGEONS OF EKILEUGOR is a roguelike game for the VIC-20 running in a VIC-20 emulator for DOS, running in a DOSBOX emulator in the browser.

That's a lot to take in.

Pretty bold to name your product after the icon for cancelling.

Twitter will officially rebrand as X later today, Elon Musk confirms https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/23/23804629/twitters-rebrand-to-x-may-actually-be-happening-soon #elonmusk #elon #twitter #twittermigration #x #tech #technews #technology #twitterexodus

Eliyahu Weinstein was convicted twice of defrauding investors of $230 million, but in 2021 Trump freed him from jail early after 8 years of a 24 year sentence.

He has only paid less than $1.7mil of $230 million in restitution owed to his victims.

Eli Weinstein is now charged in a new $35mil Ponzi scheme.

And it turns out that in 2003 he had business ties with Lev Parnas, who years later worked with Giuliani.
