Scientists zero in on the probability of when space will forever become an area forbidden to humans. If launches continue at the pace they currently are at, it will occur in this lifetime. https://robertvanwey.substack.com/p/the-imminence-of-the-destruction
xmas ordering deadline for sweaters from glitchclouds.com is this weekend 🎄💕
I am pleased to announce a new project: custom-knit sweaters and pen-plotter prints, designed from my dithered cloud art!
I've been collecting cloud photos for the last few years and applying a modified dithering algorithm to create these designs — combine that with a programmable knitting machine, and you get these custom sweaters!
I wish more people who are worried about FOSS supply side attacks would realize that universal basic income and free healthcare would result in an almost infinite stream of excellent software from people who care more about quality than profit.
new project! https://shrinkingsaltonsea.com
wherein I track the receding shoreline of the Salton Sea, combining a 2007 bathymetric survey alongside 2023 and 2024 shorelines, collected by an ultramarathon runner who circles the shoreline annually to track each year's decline
Hello Mastoverse - I am looking for full-time work!
I'm a full-stack developer with a focus on data visualization and UI/UX. I love to partner with subject matter experts, building upon their research to create tools for a broad audience. I work well with data science teams to translate models, metrics, and analytics into full-fledged web applications.
Please reach out if you know of any companies where this would be a good fit!
I published my 2023 reading list! lmk if you find any gems :)

Tethys lives! Researchers propose gravity anomaly under Indian Ocean is the ghost of the long-subducted Tethys Ocean. I studied some bivalves native to Tethys and mourn their fossils possibly subducted into the mantle 🫡

ahhh holy shit so cool, 19k more seamounts added to our collective knowledge, via radar satellite analysis.
this also says that only 25% of the ocean floor has been mapped by sonar… which honestly strikes me as high?
loving this essay about dystopias as a genre & why they are seductive disassociation from real-world problems. I was a dystopia junkie until a few years ago — I hadn't really been able to put my finger on why I abruptly stopped reading them, but I think this points at the underlying reasons.
