A beautiful landscape of Norderney showing a lake with dark water, a whitish green grass, heavy fog, and almost red plants emerging out of the lake.
A beautiful landscape of Norderney showing the sun pinch through the fog with a wiggly river on the right side. The picture is taken through high grass.
A beautiful landscape of Norderney showing a burning sun behind the fog and tiny dunes with bushes on top of them as far as the eye can see.
A beautiful landscape of Norderney with dunes in the far background. The sun isn't visible, but it's light is sent visibly across the sky from the right side due to reflecting off of the heavy fog.

Did you know it's possible for two lines to appear to diverge in a 2D perspective view, but actually converge in 3D? Kind of the opposite of parallel lines in 3D converging in 2D.
I discovered this while trying to implement a clipping algorithm. At first I didn't believe it was possible, it felt so foreign to everyday experience. It actually happens whenever two lines converge behind the center of projection, but we rarely see that IRL.

What appears to be a trapezoid, with the narrower base as a horizontal line near the center, getting wider towards the top, until it's cut off by the top edge of the image (forming the wider base).
3D orbit showing what's really going on: the 'narrower base' of the trapezoid was one side of a triangle, and the other two sides get closer together moving away from it, not farther apart.

Two screenshots of the lock screen on my iPhone 17 Pro whose difference confounds me. In one the contrast is good and I can read the numbers on the pad, but the time and battery status are hidden. In the other, the key pad is pretty much invisible but I can see the time and battery. I have no idea how to trigger the contrastier one; it just sometimes does this.
Is this phenomenon known? Explicable? It's as if the new UI is sometimes ashamed to show how unreadable it is and compensates before hiding again.
Somebody made this happen. Any idea why?

The Greenland sea cables are probably being closely monitored, but redundancy seems minimal likely limited to OneWeb satellite connectivity and some VSAT links.
Looking at the routing side, AS8818 announces just two /19s and one /22 (and two /32s in IPv6) with a single upstream provider, Level 3 Inc. This suggests that Layer 3 redundancy is even more constrained.
I would have expected at least one EU-based provider as an additional upstream...

https://www.tusass.gl/en/infrastructure/submarine-cable/ Submarine Cable 5404 kilometers of high-tech fiber optic connection, is the description of Greenland’s first submarine communications cable Greenland Connect which went into operation in March 2009. It runs from Newfoundland in Canada to Nuuk in Greenland. From where it continues on to Qaqortoq and Iceland. With a response time of just 23 milliseconds, it is one of the fastest routes across the Atlantic. The second submarine communicat…

Relative to many, my life is very good,
-- in that I am alive and housed, fed, sometimes employed.
I am healthy and loved.
Still, I am about to lose my entire mind over the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) website,
and the fact that someone,
probably a bot farmer,
has already used my 16-year-old son’s identity to establish a fraudulent account.
This is a common scam,
one that was fortunately detected before any money changed …

FAFSA Is Breaking Me
I think I have been holding it together in the face of everything we can’t stop talking about—the killing and the dying, the explosions and the terror, the eggs and the bird flu and the shameless ghouls ruining the good parts of our country, the weapons and the

Meet.coop update October 2025
Hi folks, update from me. I got a bit stuck because I haven’t been given access to the sso.meet.coop “master” realm so I can’t access any of the Keycloak admin settings. This is true even from the command line, see: Keycloak: How to add a new User - Mastertheboss I have securely handed over the SSO credentials to ColloCall that were being used on the de.meet.coop server and switched over the domain to point at the ColloCall server. Now we just need ColloCall to spin up the new server.…

Kelly Ford is unintentionally describing when a pattern in a…

The frustrating thing is that none of this was an issue at the start of 2025. Microsoft appeared to be coalescing around a fairly standard user experience for the multitude of Copilot experiences available to customers. The foundation for the Windows app was a well-structured HTML experience with headings and more that made reading answers quite straight forward. Sometime after the start of the year, the Windows Copilot app appears to have changed some of the foundational technology used that …

"So imagine the Brownstone startup puts 50 pods in one big room. Once they rent pod #1, that person appears to have the right to the entire room. Renting pods #2 through #50 could violate Section 1950. If they do, they are double letting, and 'every tenant in the building, under the same landlord' could withhold rent for as long as the 'double letting' continues." 👀

Sleeping Pods in San Francisco: Are They Even Legal? — Dean Preston
The rise of sleeping pods as a housing solution in San Francisco raises questions about legality. California Civil Code Section 1950 prohibits double letting, but is the startup Brownstone breaking the law?
