Historic First: Artemis II Crew Becomes the First Humans to Witness the Orientale Basin in Its EntiretyBREAKING: In a stunning milestone for deep-space exploration, the Artemis II astronauts have captured the first-ever view of the Moon’s Orientale Basin with human eyes — seeing its complete, majestic structure for the first time in history.As the Orion spacecraft swept past the lunar limb during its historic flyby, the crew photographed the entire basin in one breathtaking frame, with Earth hanging beautifully in the black void beyond.A 930-Kilometer Cosmic BullseyeThe Orientale Basin is one of the Moon’s most impressive geological features — a massive multi-ringed impact structure roughly 930 km (580 miles) across. Formed about 3.8 billion years ago by a colossal asteroid or comet strike, its concentric rings ripple outward like frozen waves from a stone dropped into a cosmic pond.The outermost Cordillera ring forms the dramatic outer rim, while inner rings (the Rook mountains) mark zones of dramatic crustal rebound and collapse after the initial impact. Because Orientale straddles the Moon’s near and far sides near the southwestern limb, it has always appeared severely foreshortened and partially hidden from Earth-based telescopes and earlier missions. Only now, from Orion’s unique vantage during the flyby, has the full scale and symmetry been revealed directly to human observers.The Shot of a LifetimeThe image was taken through an Orion window as the crew passed over the site at just the right moment — with perfect illumination highlighting every ridge, ring, and shadow. It’s not just a photo. It’s a pivotal new dataset that complements decades of orbital data from Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, GRAIL’s gravity maps, and earlier probes.Entering the Zone of SilenceAs Orion continues its trajectory around the Moon, the crew is now heading into the most isolated phase of the mission: loss of signal. For roughly 40 minutes, the bulk of the Moon will completely block all radio communication with Earth, leaving Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen in profound solitude on the far side.They are venturing where only a handful of Apollo astronauts have gone before — deeper into cislunar space, pushing the boundaries of human exploration farther than any crew since 1970.The Moon is yielding its secrets once again… and humanity is watching live.This is what returning to the Moon — and preparing for Mars — truly looks like.

Interested in UI development patterns?
How about Headless UI? Headless Pages and Components?
Here's a repo I just started working on. Uses ScalaJS and Laminar to render Headless Pages and Components.
3 sets of views are created:
- Inline CSS
- CoreUI
- Tailwind
Pretty cool for a tiny PoC of UI work, that is not written in TypeScript.
There are even tests too, since Headless stuff is just state and logic, and no DOM.
Repo: github.com/mastapegs/scal…
Site: scalajs-headless-ui.netlify.app

We’ve read your posts and heard your feedback.
1. We’re postponing the announced billing change for self-hosted GitHub Actions to take time to re-evaluate our approach.
2. We are continuing to reduce hosted-runners prices by up to 39% on January 1, 2026.
We have real costs in running the Actions control plane. We are also making investments into self-hosted runners so they work at scale in customer environments, particularly for complex enterprise scenarios. While this context matters, we missed the mark with this change by not including more of you in our planning.
We need to improve GitHub Actions. We’re taking more time to meet and listen closely to developers, customers, and partners to start. We’ve also opened a discussion to collect more direct feedback and will use that feedback to inform the GitHub Actions roadmap. We’re working hard to earn your trust through consistent delivery across GitHub Actions and the entire platform.

@eric_kavanagh @thatDotinc @eric_kavanagh That streaming graph seems legit for cyber protection! How does it differ from traditional methods? #CuriousMind

@natmiletic Yea, you gotta write a macro that generates all that for you 😜

@Chilis Man, I had a Presidente during my work lunch.
Best way to code through some problems 🍸👨💻

Exciting news! Our own Christopher's has an article published in the Scala Times publication exploring thatDot's Akka to Pekko migration, highlighting enhanced functionality and efficiency. #Scala #Pekko #opensource #data #anomalydetection

@diegohaz Sometimes, you gotta triple, or even quadruple assert
Make a loop and assert a 100x to be safe

@andinfinity_eu do we?
when you say enums do you mean sum types (rust) or typescript (object key value?) or java style with named values + functions?
