Earth and Moon from DSCOVR NASA's Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite captured this unique view of the Moon as it moved in front of the sunlit side of Earth last month. This view shows the fully illuminated “dark side” of the moon that is never visible from Earth. Ian Regan processed this version of the image to account for the Moon's motion.

I hadn't seen this before. This is pretty remarkable.

Oh my.

Artemis 2 countdown clock is now counting down.

MusicXML? Yes. www.musicxml.com/for-develope...

Is there a question with that? I have reasons for speccing a data format. For one, it carries performance data, not just notation data. I have reasons for not outputting MusicXML - it can't be styled with CSS as many of it's values are in textContent.

(BTW, I'm working on an editor for this, you'll soon be able to write responsive music, embed it anywhere.)

Yes. Responsive music renderer:

Thanks. I've been curious about this technique, I'm going to investigate using it for connecting note stems with beams in stephen.band/scribe/ (my current implementation not being terribly robust).

Since 1949, LEGO has produced 228 solid colors (excluding transparent ones). The visualization shows when each color first appeared, how long it lasted, and when it disappeared.

A few years ago I wished for a sweet little standardised API that would wrap up toggling of interactives. Many of us had them in our toolkits. Instead we got whatever this is...

What are the chords you need under your fingertips most often when writing parts? Any missing from this list?

I made a website traintimes.org.uk that can e.g. show you live departures 7 times quicker than the official site, even though it... gets the data from the official site?

It’s both a policy failure, and symptomatic of failures in some modern web development.

Scene is a spoof TV news item. The NEWSREADER is talking to camera from behind the desk. NEWSREADER: Now, here to discuss the smartphone ban in schools… We have with us, YouTube Shorts. [Pull back to show an anthropomorphised version of the YOUTUBE SHORTS screen, sat in the interviewee's chair across from the newsreader] NEWSREADER: Good morning. YOUTUBE SHORTS: Hi NEWSREADER: You Tube Shorts, you work in education... YOUTUBE SHORTS: Yes. I work in schools across the country teaching Epic Dance Fail, Try Not To Cringe Challenge and Al Slop. NEWSREADER: And will the proposed phone ban limit your ability to do your job? YOUTUBE SHORTS: No. I'll still be on all school laptops because YouTube is vaguely educational and Google have made me impossible to turn off. NEWSREADER: So children are being asked to do their homework on... ...the most advanced distraction machine ever created? YOUTUBE SHORTS: Well- I think a more constructive way to frame that question might be: Can IShowSpeed jump over a moving Lamborghini? [The newsreader silently looks at the screen on YOUTUBE SHORTS's front, where a YouTuber jumps over a Lamborghini. This continues for an awkward beat] NEWSREADER: Woah. NEWSREADER [returning to awareness]: What were we talking about? YOUTUBE SHORTS [pointing at the next Short which has appeared on its own front]: Look at this fat dog. [ends]

I like the govt's plan to ban smartphones and social media in schools but nobody's mentioned the glaring hole in it
