Donald Trump has a hang-up about Pluto.
As far back as 2019, his appointed NASA administrator was making noise about reclassifying it as a planet,
a status it lost when in 2006 the International Astronomical Union created a new system of nomenclature for all those weird and wacky bodies hurtling around the sun.
Pluto, long a staple of the Big Nine and a famous childhood acrostic, was now a "mere" dwarf planet.
Trump's back on his weird horse again, makin…

Sozialpolitik: Protest gegen Kürzungspläne und steigende Armut
Laut Armutsbericht leben in Hamburg besonders viele Menschen in Armut. Dennoch soll bei Sozialem gekürzt werden. Nun regt sich Protest.Hamburg hat unter den Bundesländern die dritthöchste Armutsquote, fast jede:r fünfte Hamburger:in ist von Armut betroffen – ein Anstieg um mehr als 18 Prozent im Vergleich zum Vorjahr. Das geht aus dem jetzt vorliegenden Armutsbericht des Paritätischen Gesamtverbandes hervor. „Wir sehen eine Gesellschaft, die sozial weiter auseinanderdriftet“, komment…

Trees and greenery can cool cities by as much as 18°C—but only if they're the right type
Cities around the world are planting more trees to cope with rising urban heat. But our research shows trees alone are often not enough. In some cases, the wrong kind of greening can even make streets feel less comfortable on a hot day.

I've had ideas rattling around in my head for a while but not quite hitting coherence.
What does a "rich terminal" mean to you as a developer? We're in a really weird place right now with regards to UI and UX, with chat as a normal mode of operation being everywhere, yet we're constrained to two major paradigms: the terminal user interface, and the instant message. Both come with really weird limits to their affordances.
And there's prior art here — light table, jupyter notebooks, observable hq, rich REPLs — but they're usually this weird hybrid of not quite transcript not quite live program that I find somewhere between unsettling and frustrating.
I do however think it's well past time we abandoned monospaced type as the core way we think about source code, and at the same time, built better user interfaces than that allows, without going full "this is a program with its own interface”
It's weird uncharted territory.

Internet age verification proposals restrict the fundamental rights of young people to speak to each other and to access information.
They also force all internet users,
not just those under a certain age,
to upload private data
—like a face scan or passport
—in order to access a website or service.
In considering the vast scope of privacy issues pertaining to the collection, storage, and sharing of this personal information,
the problems of age veri…

Industry analysts said jet fuel typically accounts for around 25 percent to 30 percent of an airline’s overall operating costs,
making airlines particularly sensitive to price spikes.
As fuel costs increase, some routes
—especially those with thinner profit margins
—become less economically viable.
Airlines are responding in several ways:
Cutting or suspending less profitable routes
Increasing ticket prices or adding fuel surcharges
Raising anci…
