For every domain you buy this month I’m donating £1 to help rebuild Venezuela after the earthquakes. My in-laws’ homes survived with only a little damage, but so many people lost everything. I’m sure you have an idea in need of a domain nestling away somewhere, marque.at is the place to get it!

Everyone seems to be getting colds and other annoying sicknesses the last week or so. Autumn was clearly a mistake, we should've stayed in summer.

@codepen.io The latest episode of Codepen Radio seems to have an audio file issue. The server returns a 404 error when trying to download it. (this has been true for the last week it seems, I couldn't get Ovgercast to download it, so went spelunking on the web)

Instead of lowering flags to half mast for Dolly, they should reinstate vaccine mandates. They should invest in public health. They should walk back discriminatory LGBTQ+ policies. They should stop banning books and fund libraries. That’s how you honour her legacy.

Just had my first small group workout session. Mostly strength training, with a little bit of cardio. For too long, I valued my brain more than the rest of my body, fueled by uncertainty of what I'm able to do given my disability, and fear of being judged. This feels like the start of a good change

It's 1AM, and I can't sleep because after starting to read a book on free will, I'm going down a philosophical rabbithole about what free will even is. And honestly, i'm coming to the conclusion that free will is a shared concept/illusion, just likemoney and time, (especially lunchtime).

The longer I work as a programmer, the more I feel like enforced argument labels are a fantastic feature of Swift (originally from Objective-C), and I feel like more programming languages should steal this concept. It makes it so much cleaner what arguments mean when you pass them!

well played, @wired.com www.wired.com/story/everyt...

on the left, from wired: "When you ask the search box questions like, “What is a black hole?” or “Are Google AI Overviews devastating the journalism industry,” it will respond with more contextual answers or use generative AI to create images or short video clips that help explain the concept."

on the right, google: "Google AI Overviews are devastating the journalism industry by aggressively siphoning off traffic and ad revenue. By summarizing news directly at the top of search results, AI features cause click-through rates to plummet."

When Einstein developed general relativity the closest thing to a practical application that could even be imagined at the time was a slightly more precise description of where to look for the planet Mercury in the sky, and yet now we’d all be literally lost without it. Anyway: fund basic research.

On HN, there's a discussion going on about the etiquette of bike bells, and the different cultural norms. Someone said this, and I couldn't agree more

Quote from an earlier comment:

"Like Imagine if you were at the grocery store, blocking the isle, and someone lightly chimed a bell at you"

Reply from user wffurr:
"That sounds delightful. We should have more bells lightly chimed around us"

I don't remember seeing an image of Earth before that captures the (thin, fragile, tiny layer of) atmosphere so clearly. I mean, look at that.

Zooming in on the photo of Earth taken by astronauts on Artemis II on their way to the Moon, you can clearly see the Aurora Borealis and thin layer of atmosphere wrapping around the planet.

"America will never give up the moon again.🤡" What an embarrassing statement.🤦🏿‍♂️ What a scathing indictment of the childishness and futility of an anti-science nation being in a space race. What does "give up the moon" even mean? Other countries sending scientists while we angrily hug a moon flag.

When walking around the city by myself, I usually listen to some kind of audio. This morning, I was walking in a local park/small forest, and turned off the podcast. The next hour, I didn't feel any urge to turn it back on, and just listened to the birds. I think I should go for more morning walks.
