An army of foolish minions, unleashed! Perfect use for them.
buuuuurn
The workflow in VSCode is really nice and fast. I use Pluto for distributing code to students, but VSCode is my work flow of choice.
I was just on twitter for a minute. Saw some terrible hate speech against a foreign researcher, reported it, and "noped" right back to BlueSky.
I love that the anti-vaxxers are pissed about Tylenol being called out for autism. "No!! That crazy unproven theory shouldn't be getting attention! Only our crazy thoroughly debunked theory should be getting attention!"🤪
Actually, with more reflection, the papers that misrepresent your finding make a bigger impression. So I can believe 17%, but it FEELS like 25% or more.
I think it's much higher than this.
Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin ✨ figured out what stars are made of ✨ when she was just 25. 🔭🧪
Her PhD thesis basically established the Harvard astro department — at a time when Harvard didn't officially allow woman students.
I wrote this little profile to mark the 100th anniversary of her thesis:
a t-shirt bearing the likeness of Vcat the pirate cat, the mascot of the Pirates of the Type System...
even if today is #talklikeapirate day - you should try to avoid type piracy in #julialang - otherwise you'll have to wear this (or walk the plank)...
More than a decade ago, I started making tutorial videos on how to use Adobe illustrator, targeted at scientists that needed to make figures and cartoons for talks or papers.
Now I'm getting started again, but this time with the free and open source vector editor Inkscape 🧪

that commentary looks helpful. which book is this?
That's great, but are we really going to learn anything new that MY biopic didn't cover?
🇳🇱 De euforie was groot over de deelname van de TU Delft deze zomer aan de Amsterdam Canal Parade. Een maand later dringt zich de vraag op: wat is het effect op de queergemeenschap van de TU?

An apartment complex. A headline reads: "Did Switzerland Solve The Housing Crisis?"
The way that housing co-ops work in Switzerland may seem foreign to many. But the central idea is simple: What if homeownership had no profit motive and no capital gains? Advocates say their model could reshape how the world thinks about affordable housing. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/r...
Is there a way to adjust you diagram to make the compression to the latent source more obvious. If so, I would use it.
New collective noun phrase: A Dysentery of Influencers.
a scene in front of an island with palm trees about 10 minutes before sunset, the ocean is light blue and the sky is yellow, a pelican flys and then dives into the ocean with 15 individual frames plus the splash frame.
Alright, fuck it, enough of the shenanigans.
We're spending an hour to edit a series of a pelican diving into the ocean that took 3 seconds to shoot.
jking please continue with the shenanigans. we deserve it!

I'm loving this quarto + reveal.js for creating html presentations. Now that's portable!
I'm certainly a #julialang evangalist, but I've toned it down a bit - a lot of scientists don't have the time or inclination to go against the grain. Then again, when someone makes it this easy... #tidytuesday #rstats

I wrote an op-ed on the world-class STEM research ecosystem in the United States, and how this ecosystem is now under attack on multiple fronts by the current administration: newsletter.ofthebrave.org/p/im-an-awar...
I will show this to my daughters and they will never tease me about my outfits again. 😅

The WaterLily.jl article is now available on Computer Physics Comms!
@gabrielweymouth.bsky.social and I review our CFD solver's design, performance, accuracy, and also show some very cool examples (like the one below). Check it out!
