A little good news:
“The Navy⚡️has canceled its decision to shut off critical weather satellites used by NOAA to monitor tropical cyclones. DoD has just confirmed that NOAA will be able to continue using these satellites for the remainder of their operational life.
See NOAA's official statement on the matter. Result is that the SSMIS microwave scans critical for monitoring tropical cyclones will remain online. Partial but big, big relief."

Love when vendors of a code-quality tool have zero clue about what code quality issues people actually care about.
I really don’t need a commercial tool that “enforces style standards”. I can use Semgrep free (or Silver Searcher or whatever) to alert folks who use a banned function. There are a million free tools that will shout if I try to commit an API key.
Your feature list is sad and you should be ashamed
My tablecloth is finally done! Started this last February. It's an adaptation of a pattern by Elizabeth Hiddleson from the mid-1900s. 22 balls of Tulipan 15 thread (7,700 metres), and a 1.5 Japan steel hook.
This was challenging to say the least. Ms. Hiddleson was no pattern writer and used a confusing combination of pictures for you to follow if you couldn't understand her written instructions.
I am no longer nervous about the pineapple pattern! Once you've done a couple, the next hundreds are easy 🤣
I had 16 balls of the thread in my stash and figured it would be enough. Nope. I tracked it down in Croatia, but had to order from a yarn shop in Slovakia to get shipping to Canada. I ordered 16 and now have 10 balls in my stash. And yes, the cost of shipping was darn near the cost of the thread! And yes, customs tore the packaging apart! I worried about opening it for an hour, but all good!
To say I'm pleased with this is a major understatement.
