Trust me, you don’t need the alpro barista milk for a nice vegan cappuccino. The standard “not milk” (1.5 % fat here) is doing foam just fine. The barista has more sugar in it though, in case you fancy that.

can't use @vscode.dev without tab completion of local filenames obviously. Until this is fixed, need to go back to jupyterlab. #vscode #jupyter

@anacondainc.bsky.social is there an issue with the repodata servers? I see degradations of CDN cloning and Azure DevOps on the status page. My symptom is that conda update times out when trying to stream the repodata.

Life would have been so much simpler if our brains responded the same way all the time. But they don't. Even the time of day may affect how we respond to something. Perception of that time of day, is regulated in turn by neuromodulators, like adenosine. 🧪

is there really no way to "hot-swap" the theme on a running iTerm2 session? That is ground for replacement... :( lightning situation can change due to location and i don't want to restart my running terminal sessions because of that.

Glad to see this story covered by the press. I've heard from colleagues that Goddard labs are being moved/closed during the government shutdown while employees are unable to receive notification/e-mail/warnings. There's fear that they'll return after the shutdown & labs will be gone. 🔭
#nasa is shuttering the Goddard #space #flight center in a move that may not be entirely legal, according to critics. For months, our #staff #writer @joshdinner.bsky.social interviewed NASA #employees, read #senate reports and more to give you the deepest dive yet.

Instead of offering congratulations, JK Rowling naturally tried insulting them instead

Trump sent $20 billion to bail out his buddy in Argentina and enrich hedge funds — not American families.
Now Trump is cheering foreign election results while our own government is shut down.
“America First”? Not even close.
