Through NASA’s internship programs, students gain practical experience while working side-by-side with scientists, engineers, and individuals from many other professions. The interns […]
#Spotted at a Small City Fringe Festival in Aotearoa New Zealand:
A comic play ends with a sexy elephant doing a strip tease. The crowd is ambushed by glorious ridiculousness. Howls of laughter. A man (80s?) wiping tears from his eyes says: "What the bloody hell did I just watch?!"
A comedy show about physics ends and the comedian asks for questions. A teen asks one and multiple physics geeks are visibly answering under their breath before the comedian collects his thoughts. Must. Get. The Science. Right!
After a rollercoaster spoken-word performance, a group of people (60s+?) are standing outside the theatre talking thoughtfully. One soft spoken man (70s?) earnestly says: "I didn't understand most of it, but I felt very warm towards the performer. So I think that's alright."
At an improv show, the audience is asked if they'd like to volunteer stories for the performers. They deliver magnificently. Embarrassing Nudist dads! Bulls chasing horse riders! Experiencing a successful crash landing

A couple (30s?) are standing outside a theatre. One is eating brownie from the snack bar. His partner says: "Didn't you just have ice cream?" He says: "Yeah but in buying this I'm a patron of the arts, so it doesn't count."
Any typos spotted in this post are somewhat batty after seeing 12 (14?) shows in the space of six days with twelve more to go! If spotted, please ignore the brownie crumbs down their shirt.

SXSW and CSUN are fully the same week this year, and I’ve been to neither. Which mostly means I have to pay for my own tacos and coffee, like an animal.
Oh, I would be extremely bothered by this. The construction is happening in the hotel across the street from the main one, but nevertheless a lot of people stay there, and there are networking events and meetings there as well. i guess I'd have been missing the event this year anyway, given I got sick right before it would've been time to fly out.

A Deusa Ninkasi é a antiga Deusa suméria da cerveja e da fabricação de cerveja. Diz-se que ela fornece ao mundo o segredo para fazer cerveja.

Período antigo babilônico tardio e início do período kassita (por volta de 2000 - 1600 AEC.). Mesopotâmia, provavelmente de Sippar (moderna Tell Abu Habba). A cerveja é definida aqui como “uma bebida alcoólica produzida a partir de cereais pela conversão enzimática do amido em açúcar fermentável, seguida de um processo de fermentação” (Damerow 2012, 1). No entanto, devemos ter cuidado para não presumir uma apreciação dos processos químicos por parte dos antigos babilônios (Damerow 2012: 2). A produção de cerveja era um processo complexo de várias etapas que exigia um planejamento cuidadoso e uma execução habilidosa. Aperfeiçoada ao longo de milhares de anos, era uma tarefa que, durante o segundo milênio, gerenciada por profissionais (sirasû), usando técnicas e equipamentos especializados. A fabricação de cerveja, entretanto, era uma ciência oral, e não sobreviveram descrições abrangentes do processo de fabricação de cerveja (Powell 1994: 93). Consequentemente, quando se trata de reconstruir o processo de produção de cerveja na Mesopotâmia, as investigações acadêmicas muitas vezes se concentraram no Hino de Ninkasi, um poema da Antiga Babilônia provavelmente criado para ser cantado em homenagem à Deusa tutelar da cerveja. Damerow (2002: 15, usando a tradução de Civil de 1964) extrai as passagens mais relevantes para o processo de fabricação de cerveja: “Ninkasi, você é a pessoa que lida com a massa (e) ... com uma grande pá, misturando, em um poço, o bappir com aromas doces. Ninkasi, você é quem assa o bappir no grande forno, coloca em ordem as pilhas de grãos descascados. Ninkasi, você é aquela que rega o malte coberto de terra (“munu”), os cães nobres o guardam (até mesmo) dos potentados. Ninkasi, você é aquela que molha o malte (“sol”) em um jarro, as ondas sobem, as ondas descem. Ninkasi, você é aquela que espalha o purê cozido (“titab”) em grandes esteiras de junco, o frescor supera... Ninkasi, você é aquela que segura com as duas mãos a grande erva-doce (“dida”), preparando-a com mel (e) vinho. Ninkasi, [...] Você [...] a erva-doce (“dida”) para o recipiente. A cuba de fermentação, que faz um som agradável, você coloca adequadamente sobre (em cima de) uma grande cuba coletora (“laḫtan”). Ninkasi, você é aquela que derrama a cerveja filtrada do tanque coletor, é (como) a correnteza do Tigre e do Eufrates.” Sobre mim e meu trabalho: acesse o link da Bio - linktr.ee/angelanatel
On the theme of finding little bits of joy (and a timeline cleanse), I walked over to see my neighbours at lunchtime. Their Llanwenog ewes have started lambing (the flock I watched last year 😊). They have a lovely system of moving them out from the shed to a paddock in a lamb pram with mum following behind.
Sick burn but also well supported critique from famed programmer David Heinemeier Hansson: Apple does AI as Microsoft did mobile world.hey.com/dhh/apple-does-a…
When the iPhone first appeared in 2007, Microsoft was sitting pretty with their mobile strategy. They'd been early to the market with Windows CE, they were fast-following the iPod with their Zune.
Honestly, it does feel like all sides are pointing fingers at "Russian Bots" for everything. I know they exist, but they seem to be the generic excuse for EVERYTHING.
Perhaps.. .another way to look at it is that it's a convenient and lazy way around "I don't understand this person's point of view, and I can't be arsed to try to understand because what I KNOW I KNOW and what I've been told can't possibly be wrong, or colored by my own perceptions... All that, and my point of view is more important than theirs."
The point of my post was to point out that, while labeling and namecalling exist, no meaningful discussion can happen, and nobody can learn anything new.

Nah, many girls are just interested in other things. An acquaintance of mine works in a tech company as a web-developer. And she mentions sometimes her team consists of nine guys and one girl.
@rtlc Please be careful with self-fulfilling prophecies.
Plenty of IT pioneer were women, but they disappeared the moment that IT became a well-paid, relatively high-status job.
Women are being bounced away from tech education and jobs because of systemic factors and saying "girls are just interested in other things" will only further entrench these factors.
@forse Hey there, sorry if my comment sounded too simplistic or dismissive.
My thinking was along the lines to start a blog you: register a domain; choose CMS; create a blog; start writing.
All these can be in many cases very solitary experiences. And as I mentioned in another post women in my opinion are better at socializing than guys. And spending time with people in real life takes time. IMHO

that whole #typescript #golang rewrite discussion here and on other networks is kinda funny 🤡
i mean, let people use the language they want??
the “yOu ShOuLd HaVe UsEd #RuSt" gang is strong, but it’s far from perfect and you can literally use almost anything to run almost anything on almost anything
often times (not always!) people have put some decent thought behind their decisions 💡
reminds me of one of my favorite quotes:
“Everyone you will ever meet knows something you don't.”
i run some ~1.5 billion+ requests on a colorful mix of TS, JS, Go, Rust across serverless, vm, k8s.
of course we could gain <insert any metric here> rewriting some services to <insert hype language here>, but we’d 100% loose some flexibility and momentum.
you can always argue for any language and unless you're at the very highest end of the chain critical performance like with rust becomes a must. our scale isn't even remotely near that.
I started with C (because of low level HW I've programmed that time), than moved to C++, than done almost anything from Python, JS, PHP some Java.
Programming language is just way to achieve something, real development is in algorithmization and connecting different interfaces. (I would say)
I am not saying you doing it wrong (far from it, just being curious), but how do you keep everything runing? When some framework is updated sometimes something broke. When you have to keep track of 3-4 frameworks / lot of libraries / run environments, it might get messy quite fast. So you keep everything on some version and upgrade with new version of your application or you just update environment and hope nothing will break?
@FandaSin Usually a mixture of automated updates+tests using renovate/dependabot, occasional upgrade tasks in Jira, and simply instant-legacy approach.
A ton of software in the real world is just horribly outdated and insecure. I'm currently working on a project that was started in 2018 with a postgres version EOL in 2016 or so and the entire stack was never updated. It's a fixed price contract, no budget for updates. Sad, but normal.
Never heard "instant legacy SW", but I know exactly what you mean.🤦
"It's a fixed price contract, no budget for updates. Sad, but normal." Sadly, I am programming for about 2 decades and I KNOW EXACTLY what you mean by that.🤬
It's better if you just have to give them product and never look back on it, but if you have to keep that code working with occasional change, yeah, that's best way to lunatic asylum.
@AdmSnackbar @FandaSin fully agree. we have the near-luxury to be a fairly self-sustained team inside a large org. we therefore created our own set of principles (public here github.com/swrlab/swrlab/blob/…) which also include a section à la “if it's not maintained any more, we'll turn it off”.
We use dependabot on github and speedy ci/cd processes to quickly update and deploy things without too much overhead. this really helps keeping things rather up-to-date and secure (so far)
Hey @Tamasg I heard about the new orbit players. Wonder whet TTS they're gonna use? My guess is probably acapela or vocalizer. Or maybe even just ESpeak.
they can't use Eloquence either, but people are hoping you can sideload.
Does a basic media player need an octa-core processor in 2025? Will it be any less pricy than the competition? People do die on the hill of their preferred audiobook player, I suppose.
Well, octa-core may just help with feed processing mainly, if this has a podcast b rowser as well. My guess is it'll be something low-end like ARM-A53 or 55 based, not a high-end Arm-X1 core or like in flagship phones. I see they license runaTTS in their Orbit Speak though, which interestingly is the same licensee as used by Tifloteknia for their Vocalizer for NVDA product. Another thing that tells me Nuance charges out the butt for a license, so much so that these companies are just getting theirs from one common distribitor and paying them rights to use it.
