That weird feeling when a side project of a side project of mine feels more influential than everything else I do in my side project department.
I feel like Shcherbina as portrayed by HBO's 'Chernobyl' miniseries. I stand next to powerful people and I feel I'm influential, but the truth is I'm not.

In pursuit of the Sun, from Jules Janssen to the present day
The Sun has been observed through a telescope for four centuries. However, its study made a prodigious leap at the end of the nineteenth century with the appearance of photography and spectroscopy, then at the beginning of the following century with the invention of the coronagraph and monochromatic filters, and finally in the second half of the twentieth century with the advent of space exploration (satellites, probes). This makes it possible to observe the radiations hidden by the Earth's atm…

Me - make off handed remark to new manager about not following our process (we missed a step).
New manager trying to be helpful - here, I found our documented process in Confluence; I think it might answer your question.
Me - waits for new manager to realize I wrote said process 11 yrs ago and have been faithfully maintaining it since. *Oh it wasn't a question, it was an assertion.*

“I’m currently facing 88 felonies. For retention of classified information . . . Do you all take people that have been found liable for sexual assault?”

In-Hand Following of Deformable Linear Objects Using Dexterous Fingers with Tactile Sensing
Most research on deformable linear object (DLO) manipulation assumes rigid grasping. However, beyond rigid grasping and re-grasping, in-hand following is also an essential skill that humans use to dexterously manipulate DLOs, which requires continuously changing the grasp point by in-hand sliding while holding the DLO to prevent it from falling. Achieving such a skill is very challenging for robots without using specially designed but not versatile end-effectors. Previous works have attempted u…
