Everything happens so much

Space! 🚀

[NASA @NASA]

We are going.

For the first time, the @NASA_SLS rocket and @NASA_Orion fly together. #Artemis I begins a new chapter in human lunar exploration.

@ashevat There’s a lovely little movie on this topic from @maxjoseph that’s worth a watch: https://t.co/ez2UhYewVi

@dnf @TPLINK @FirewallaLLC I don’t think it has extended logging like that out of the box. It has active sessions by source and destination but not historical info. The features vary a bit by device, but they do have an online demo that lets you poke through their interface: https://t.co/pLHYfeDhPy

@dnf @TPLINK @FirewallaLLC You might take a look at Peplink devices. Pretty much all of their hardware is designed with failover as a first class feature. Not cheap though.

@NanoRaptor I think the MacBook Helium made better trade-offs 😝

@benedictevans Lengthy discussion about this situation on HN recently. Seems to happen quite frequently: https://t.co/pgrLFsVZ0w

If @RedBull was a benefactor of the arts, would @RedBull help with your local museum’s expansion? #GivesYouWings

@dnf Ha! Sweet, sweet Internet from space was too tempting!

The same SCOTUS that said yesterday that states don’t have the ability to regulate guns today gave states the power to regulate women’s bodies.

[Elena Schneider @ec_schneider]

From the dissent, the closing line, signed by Breyer, Sotomayor and Kagan:

"With sorrow - for this Court, but more, for the many millions of American women who have today lost a fundamental constitutional protection - we dissent."

@dnf You thinkin’ about getting Starlink? https://t.co/byLZ7NCYJx

@wkimeria Ah! How does the Interstellar soundtrack not make this list? Cornfield Chase, Stay, and Detach are so good 😝

“But we’re stuck in the design. With all these motherfucking guns.

And there is no straightforward escape or immediate means to alter this design, because its fortitude is a symptom of American democracy…”

The biggest mistake companies making when hiring engineers is not including an async written interview stage.

Engineering roles are heavy on writing - tickets, PRs, Slack, internal & external docs. If you're not assessing for written communication, you've got a huge blind spot.

In 1959, Eugene Ionesco wrote the absurdist play Rhinoceros in which one by one, an entire town of people suddenly transform into rhinos. At first, people are horrified but as the contagion spreads, (almost) everyone comes to accept that turning into a rhinoceros is fine. 1/

Can't wait until everyone complains that their flights are cancelled because all the staff are out sick with COVID

@dnf Depends on what you’re using it for, but I don’t think it’s worth the trouble to run a VM. I say get a basic PC, put it in the closet, and use Remote Desktop from the Mac.

Some beautiful thoughts for a Friday: https://t.co/wNAdLhMiNv

@eng_mclare Thinking about other uses of that term, like “computational photography,” it means design through and by algorithms rather than traditional methodologies. Just like in photography it means enhancing images with algorithms rather than traditional optics.
