I found the second most common kind of columbine! I love finding species other than the most common in one in a genus... it's like finding shiny pokemon or something.

Either lightest known black hole or heaviest known neutron star observed.

Coalescence of a 23 solar mass black hole with a 2.6 solar mass "compact object".

GoBoard is a brand of waterproof board to be used e.g. inside bathroom walls. I really like their logo.

For anyone who wants a math problem to do here's a nice one:

Consider a quartic polynomial with two distinct inflection points (in other words its graph goes from concave-up to concave-down and back to concave-up, or vice versa). Draw a line through the inflection points - this line will also intersect the graph of the function at two other points. What is the ratio of the lengths of the 3 segments into which this line is thus divided?

Solar axions possibly observed?

It could totally just be tritium contamination... but it could also be potential dark-matter particles!

This is all actual good advice and kudos to them for publishing it. But some parts are just inherently funny. https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/doh/downloads/pdf/imm/covid-sex-guidance.pdf

Normal person watching Devs: "Woah cool story, I wonder what's going to happen next"

Me watching Devs: "UGH that isn't even how interpretations of quantum mechanics WORK. At ALL."

I'll just keep repeating to myself that it isn't a quantum computer, it's a magic computer, and then I can suspend disbelief.

First Hubzilla instructional video is up

If you're reading this you probably already know everything the video teaches you to do. But still, you might be interested.

Why did I use Youtube and not something like Peertube? One step at a time, one step at a time...

@kris what do you mean "contacts"? You mean Connections?

Oh, and you have them pinned as their own stand-alone icons. I see.

I guess I should make a whole video about how to manage apps (install, pin, etc.)... but that seems relatively advanced, so it can wait.

I have no idea why I didn't think of just uploading the video to Hubzilla in the first place (no need for Peertube!). I'm doing that now... though I'm just staring at a spinner rather than a progress bar and don't know how much longer it will take. I guess there is not much need to compress the 146 MB file.

I'm thinking the next video will be shorter and literally just focused on the "Take me home" action, with tangential references to channels vs hubs, and magic authentication.

The raw material for all silicon chips is sand. All computers are basically sand that we enchanted (with electricity) to do math really fast and thus play videos or whatever.

So, as a computer programmer who teaches the magic sand to do different tricks, am I some kind of... Sand Witch? =)

How do you convert a java.util.Calendar to a java.util.Date? Call getTime() on it, obviously. Makes perfect sense. Everybody knows that the time of a calendar is a date. /s

In other news, neutron stars almost certainly contain quark-matter cores

The cores of neutron stars could be made of hadronic matter or quark matter. By combining first-principles calculations with observational data, evidence for the presence of quark matter in neutron star cores is found.
