@GuyDudeman @dogzilla @glennf the concept of #FediHire and a #FediHired is something that already exists. But I could see how a LinkedIn clone could be made atop ActivityPub… intriguing…

I had posted this on a previous account, but not here: the Usborne Computing Books of the 80’s are available as free downloads. They can be useful to think of things that kids could be doing today… and they’re also gorgeous and nostalgic at the same time:https://usborne.com/gb/books/computer-and-coding-booksps. If you access from elsewhere in the world, set your region to English/United Kingdom, and then click again.#retrocomputing #usborne #kids

@dave I guess Absolute Power is a sham movie… instead of committing suicide over the death of his mistress, the president should have just resigned.

Thanks for the link, @jbzfn, but I think it is important to emphasize the main message from the original article, not the summary from @phoronix: the *BSDs have their own fork of with a richer feature set, and better generic acceleration compatibility.The question is about when does BSD stop supporting that fork, and for now the answer is that they will still do it…Original article in the NetBSD blog:https://blog.netbsd.org/tnf/entry/x_org_on_netbsd_the

Love this quote from the article:«Sometimes I re-learn things I had forgotten years ago. Just like great books are not meant to be read just once, some things are not meant to be learnt just once.»Totally agreeing with you, Mr. @akosma.https://mas.to/@deprogrammaticaipsum/112376960315451126

@ZachWeinersmith cachorros in Spanish, applied to mammals. Pollos/pollitos (chicks) applied to birds (an eagle chick, for instance). Not sure about other parts of the animal kingdom.

@futurebird actually, thanks for pointing me to ”linear algebra done right”, which I just found is available as an open access edition!https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-41026-0

@futurebird @jturiano capitalism needs a forcing function to make it social and innovative. There were tax incentives for companies to be innovative like Bell Labs or Xerox Palo Alto… not anymore. There were government (think DARPA) paid funding for basic science that now are no longer available, or not in the same amounts.

@foone trata a the size for Mac code segments for classic Mac in 68k… precisely to allow for signed relative addresses. Of course, depending on code layout and actual assembly they could be a bit larger…

Using data from ALMA and advanced simulations, a research team led by Santiago Orcajo from the Instituto de Astrofísica de La Plata in Argentina (CONICET and Universidad Nacional de La Plata) has presented a new model that traces the evolution of protoplanetary disks through five distinct stages. The results strongly support a planet-driven origin of these substructures and offer new insights into how planets interact with the disks in which they form.Stage I: Very young disks with shallow or no obvious substructures, corresponding to an epoch in which protoplanets are not massive enough to carve noticeable gaps in the disks.Stage II: Disks with relatively narrow, but clear gaps and rings, indicating the growth of protoplanetsStage III: A rapid widening of the gaps due to the sudden growth in the mass of some planets when they acquire their gaseous envelopes. This stage includes the rapid accumulation of dust at the outer edges of the gaps (the inner rims of the outer disks) due to the strong “pressure bumps” caused by the giant planets that recently formed, which stops the inward drift of dust.Stage IV: Dust filtration at the edges of the cavities, resulting in dust-depleted inner disks. The millimeter dust from the outer disks efficiently drifts in and accumulates at the edges of the gaps.Stage V: Eventually, the dusty inner disks drain completely onto the stars, and the outer disks become narrow rings (or collections of narrow rings).More info: https://www.almaobservatory.org/en/press-releases/alma-inspires-new-models-for-the-evolution-of-planet-forming-disks/#ALMA #AtacamaLargeMillimeterSubmillimeterArray #AtacamaLargeMillimeterArray #ProtoplanetaryDisks #PlanetFormation #YoungStars #YoungSolarSystems

Of course all of this builds on the initial success from the original ALMA long-baseline campaing that looked at HL Tau and found its protoplanetary disk in all its glory…https://www.almaobservatory.org/en/press-releases/revolutionary-alma-image-reveals-planetary-genesis/ #ALMA #AtacamaLargeMillimeterSubmillimeterArray #AtacamaLargeMillimeterArray #ProtoplanetaryDisks #PlanetFormation #YoungStars #YoungSolarSystems #HLTau

@Itchy @TonyStark did the SCOTUS not eliminate the concept of bribe if it is given before things happen?Also, they said the POTUS is immune, so…ps. Almost no other country has a law like that (full immunity for the president). Even kings in democratic monarchies could be made to at least abdicate in such cases…pps. Countries that might have them now vote with the US more often than not at UN…

«Our economy is run by people that don't participate in it and our tech companies are directed by people that don't experience the problems they allege to solve for their customers, as the modern executive is no longer a person with demands or responsibilities beyond their allegiance to shareholder value.»@Zitron via @ianb https://www.wheresyoured.at/the-era-of-the-business-idiot/

@sebinthestars I’m very sorry to hear that, @sebinthestars, many thanks for the service you have provided… and for giving us a fair amount of time to look for options.Any idea where you’ll be heading yourself, Seb?
