I continue to progress and enjoy the Adrift Expedition in No Man's Sky. I have acquired a couple more starships to go along with the basic ass hauler I started with. The Solar Ship came by way of the Phase 2 "find a crashed ship and repair it" milestone. Oddly enough, I could swear I got one with the same name in the last Expedition I played through. I've been carrying around some odd thing in my inventory almost since I started, and finally used it and had a Sentinel ship …

The anonymous Christian author of *The Cloud of Unknowing* spoke of contemplative practice as "a naked, blind feeling of being."
The Buddhists, especially in #Zen, speak similarly of practicing "thusness" or "suchness."
Tonight that came to expression for me as:
the way things are is what does the practice

"Rather than maintain a safe distance and operate as a “machine politician” ... Faiza has tramped the streets to talk to people about local issues, earning a great deal of respect as a result. The fact that the #LabourParty has so easily brushed aside this work by deselecting Faiza suggests a basic lack of awareness of the very problems that they are claiming to have the remedies for.

The writer Mark Slouka counsels against filling our time with work:
#idleness is not only a psychological necessity, requisite for the construction of a complete human being;
#Idleness constitutes a kind of political space, a space as necessary for the workings of an actual democracy as, say, a free press.<…

Its good to have many tests in your R package, but it can be a pain to debug some failing tests when it happens. {lazytest} for the rescue: only rerun the failing tests, until they pass: #RStats

NASA’s #Voyager 1 spacecraft is conducting normal science operations for the first time following a technical issue that arose in November 2023: https://blogs.nasa.gov/voyager/2024/06/13/voyager-1-returning-science-data-from-all-four-instruments/ - its four instruments study plasma waves, magnetic fields, and particles; Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 are the only spacecraft to directly sample interstellar space, which is the region outside the heliosphere — the protective bubble of magnetic fields and solar wind created by the Sun.

War cabinet member Benny Gantz on Saturday canceled a news conference planned for the evening, during which he was expected to announce his National Unity party was leaving the government.
In a May 18 speech, Gantz issued an ultimatum to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, demanding the premier present an agreed-upon vision for Gaza’s post-war governance.
If Netanyahu failed to do so by June 8, the former Israel Defense Forces chief of staff threatened to pull his centrist Nationa…

The Fibonacci Space-Filling Curve
Can you stretch and reform a curve such that it fills a square completely? This question dates back to 18th century, the origin of space-filling curves. It was proved affirmatively by many great mathematicians. In this document, we reconsider the problem and present a different proof using Cartesian product of Fibonacci substitution with itself. Our construction differs from other curves by design.

Relatively functionally countable subsets of products
A subset $A$ of a topological space $X$ is called relatively functionally countable (RFC) in $X$, if for each continuous function $f : X \to \mathbb{R}$ the set $f[A]$ is countable. We prove that all RFC subsets of a product $\prod\limits_{n\inω}X_n$ are countable, assuming that spaces $X_n$ are Tychonoff and all RFC subsets of every $X_n$ are countable. In particular, in a metrizable space every RFC subset is countable. The main tool in the proof is the following result: for every Tychonoff…
