Given that deaf people sneeze silently. Do they also cough silently?

Hmmm #Artemis2 has a 40 minute LOS. This is incredibly poor performance from NASA mission planning.

The mission should have been planned to have a 42:50 LOS.

This would give them exactly the right amount of time to listen to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon...

Ok. So keepassxc is off the list of useful software

Even among programmers the knowledge of how a computer works is largely missing. This means that code is often not optimised for performance. If you don't know how the CPU works, you're not going to understand the simple things you can do to improve your code's performance.

I worry when I talk to programmers and mention things like "TLB miss" and they don't know wtf it means.

A boot camp might teach you to code in 10 weeks. But it won't teach you to understand in ten weeks.

Due to a grocery delivery fuck up, I have ended up with two packs of "air fryer Frys". I don't have an air fryer or a deep fat fryer. Any ideas on what I can do with them ?

MECO and core stage separation complete.

They got to space today. Now we just hope they can safely return in ten days.

Fly safe #Artemis2. Ad astra.

My train journey home starts with another accessibility rant (sorry, I've got an hour on a train and I didn't bring a book). Time to talk about something few think of as an accessibility aid

Benches

Most people take for granted that they can stand for half an hour or an hour to wait for a train. But for a surprisingly high number of people. Standing for even a few minutes can be agony. These people might not look like they need accessibility aids. But not being able to sit can be a problem

So today's train accessibility fail is going to highlight a second accessibility failure when I go to travel home.

Many people have in their heads the idea of disability being a binary. You're either disabled, or you aren't. And it's a permanent status. Chances are if you're a wheel chair user, you're gonna be using it for a while.

This then brings with it the idea of "registered disabled". A lot of people have this idea that if you meet a set threshold then you're on a list and get...

You know how I bang on about the importance of level access?

I just got a first hand reminder of why it's so incredibly important.

I just fell down the stairs of a NS DDZ train onto the platform. I've hurt my ankle pretty bad. It's not broken but it really fucking hurts. Level access is a safety thing as much as an accessibility thing.

I'm lucky. I landed on the platform and didn't fall between the train and the platform.

Really hurts tho.

Clocks just changed...
