Don't be shy to take on a little two-week side project. These five months will be the most precious three years of your academic journey.

Constituent here: 💯

Bicycles are amazing. With e-bikes in the mix, many miles of local trips should be by bike instead of car, but we need infrastructure and traffic enforcement for pedestrian and cyclist safety.

The pattern where it delivers a response and then says ”What I would do next if I were you is this. Just say the word.”

Calendrical heresy is a phrase I will revisit until I die. (I dig spider civilizations too.)

"We will always choose Earth. We will always choose each other."

The words of the first woman to leave low Earth orbit. The words of a woman who has just traveled further from Earth than any human being.

The words of Christina Koch.

I am crying.

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.

The #Artemis II spacecraft is now fully behind the Moon, and will be unreachable for the next 40 minutes or so. This is the expected "loss of signal." During this time, they'll reach their closest approach to the Moon (about 4067 miles) and then their greatest distance from Earth (252,756 miles).

My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces):

I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept):
Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow
