@mouthofmorrison In the world of computer graphics, Jim Blinn spoke of “always making an even number of sign errors.”

Type of thing you scoff at if you’ve never operated satellites and solemnly nod at if you have

@DJSnM To paraphrase Jim Blinn, be sure to make an even number of sign errors.

According to a NASA report Lunar Trailblazer failed because the software pointed the solar panels *away* from the Sun. The NASA panel says Lockheed did not properly test the solar panel pointing software before launch. npr.org/2026/02/26/nx-…

The needle is automated, but huge amounts of post-election info (like Clark has x number of mail ballots left) is not in our data feeds. It's from a random press conference. We'd have to enter it manually twitter.com/mando4341/stat…

I would think so. The Dems holding up well in the post-election mail increases their chances a lot in a place like WA-3, where on Election Night the needle would understandably wonder whether it's 'blue mirage' until shown otherwise twitter.com/BroChillerman/…

@pwnallthethings Mr President, we must not allow a train horn gap!

@jonmasters @ThisOldHouse That show is a national treasure, and you'd have to work pretty hard to convince me otherwise.

Now that we are buying a house, my guilty pleasure has become watching clips from a fellow Boston area favorite @ThisOldHouse

@MEPFuller I understand the bubble that could lead someone to conclude that earnest is cringe, but I don’t understand how “@Lin_Manuel is earnest” ends up being treated as some sort of newsworthy revelation.

Ever since I found out that Hamilton is now considered “cringe,” I’ve been listening to the soundtrack again. This is the counterculture. The Revolution.

@mgerrydoyle The SU-15 is a lot like the F-106 on the American side - it looks cool and was the backbone of the interceptor force way later than you might have realized.

5) and a deep cut here, the su-15. basically a dart with a bubble canopy. narrowly beats out the mig-29 by virtue of not looking a lot like a su-27

blame this thread on @profmusgrave: the best- and worst-looking soviet aircraft best 1) tu-160. graceful, large, variable geometry... what's not to love?

@jkosseff Only if the game is played in Toledo.

@adamdavidson The SIDES Network: A Proof-of-Bake Layer 2 Scaling Solution for Ethereum.

excuse me what

@bcantrill That should be in the Smithsonian.

I can't believe this website is free

@ArmsControlWonk @walberque Wait like for 3/4ths of an orbit?

@walberque Patience! All good things come to those who wait ...

I am so happy.

@ValueHao @macrocephalopod *the cherry

@ValueHao @macrocephalopod Referring to C++/Python development as “semi-programmatic” is cherry on top of a good troll.

Volatility exists to transfer resources from the weak (virgin clicktraders) to the strong (chads with FPGAs)

@NicAnsuini @NASASpaceflight It’s a large tank the size of a small tank!

A large tank is delivered to Starbase via a small convoy. The city had to remove overhead power lines, and deputies had to make a temporary, moving road closure. It’s currently about 10 miles out of Starbase and going about 5 mph. - @NASASpaceflight

@iw_larry @talktoskirt But breakfast is delicious.

@talktoskirt Hope the guy finds a job doing that because no one serious with someone that treats his resume like a stand up monologue would hire him...but maybe he's applying for a standup gig

Got a resume today and under personal interests the dude just wrote breakfast lmao

@gelliottmorris The entire C++ standard library is in the “std” namespace. (That said, there’s usually enough context to figure out what you’re looking for. Usually)

@ClosingCrawl @HamillHimself

@HamillHimself It's like you had a brush with fate.

For the record: I went in to get my teeth cleaned, not fixed. 🪥🦷😁 #MayTheFlossBeWithYou
