Melting ice led to a tsunami in Greenland. It could happen again.
A massive landslide sent huge waves crashing back and forth in a fjord.

Sonnet 145 - CXLV
Those lips that Love's own hand did make,
Breathed forth the sound that said 'I hate',
To me that languished for her sake:
But when she saw my woeful state,
Straight in her heart did mercy come,
Chiding that tongue that ever sweet
Was used in giving gentle doom;
And taught it thus anew to greet;
'I hate' she altered with an end,
That followed it as gentle day,
Doth follow night, who like a…

Restoring missing low scattering angle data in two-dimensional diffraction patterns of isolated molecules

arXiv:2603.24334v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Anisotropic two-dimensional diffraction signals contain more information than the conventional isotropic signals for both gas phase ultrafast electron and X-ray diffraction experiments and are common in typical time-resolved diffraction experiments due to the use of linearly polarized lasers to excite the sample that imprints spatial anisotropy on the molecules. We report an iterative algorithm to restore the missing data at low scattering angles in a two-dimensional diffraction signal, which is essential to obtain real-space representation. The iterative algorithm transforms two-dimensional signals back and forth between the momentum transfer domain and the real space domain through Fourier and Abel transforms and apply real space constraints to retrieve missing signal at low scattering angles. The algorithm only requires an approximate a-priori knowledge of the shortest and longest internuclear distances in the molecule. We demonstrated successful retrieval of the missing signal in simulated patterns and in experimentally measured diffraction patterns from laser-induced alignment of trifluoroiodomethane molecules.

#SmallWinButItsAllIGot I opened this packaging with my bare hands, clearly I am ready to take on a grizzly bear.
(I bent it in half across the top, then flexed it back and forth as fast as I could, thinking that if I could put enough heat into the bend it would weaken the plastic. I don't know if I generated that much heat. But it did weaken.)

TIL that WB0RLJ Jim posts videos of his POTA activations keyed by time, so you can find your call in his video description with a link straight to the time in the video. Very cool!
I also read his QRZ page and discovered that I did something that he dislikes. I've heard other ops say that if someone gives a partial call, you should reply with your sign twice to cut down on back-and-forth, and now I kn…

from the Paradise of God
Without remorse drive out the sinful Pair
From hallowd ground th' unholie, and denounce
To them and to thir Progenie from thence
Perpetual banishment. [...]
If patiently thy bidding they obey,
Dismiss them not disconsolate; reveale
To Adam what shall come in future dayes,
As I shall thee enlighten, intermix
My Cov'nant in the womans seed renewd;
So send them forth, though sorrowing, yet in peace.

@… I'm a little surprised how different some parts of the PICO images are. In the sample image of the lady with a red hat (kodak_kodim04), the eyebrow on the right side of the image is slightly higher than in the reference image. Flipping back and forth between them makes it look like she's subtly hinting something

It's that time again! Tomorrow (Tues, 12 May) at 20:00 NZST we will be having our monthly Libre/FOSS Meeting. Anyone is welcome to participate.

Do you think puppygirls do this when you turn on the garden hose?

I feel like using QQ, Douyin, Weibo, Bilibili, etc. would be an effective means of subverting this Western push toward mandatory online ID and all its attendant baggage. I don't personally care if the Chinese spy on my inane conversations, and I don't really spend much time talking about Tiananmen Square. The enemy of my enemy, and so forth.

It's a good technique, but it only work well up to the forth or fifth rum and coke

In an test assertion, do you prefer the expected value first or the actual value first? (
I have been back and forth on this over the years. Sometimes I feel one is more legible than the other. Then I change my mind.
Why do I care? Curiosity! (Probably also some form of API perfectionism 😳 )
Team assertEquals(actualValue, expectedValue)
Team assertEquals(expectedValue, actualValue)
I never cared about this

Sonnet 034 - XXXIV
Why didst thou promise such a beauteous day,
And make me travel forth without my cloak,
To let base clouds o'ertake me in my way,
Hiding thy bravery in their rotten smoke?
'Tis not enough that through the cloud thou break,
To dry the rain on my storm-beaten face,
For no man well of such a salve can speak,
That heals the wound, and cures not the disgrace:
Nor can thy shame give physic to my grief;
Though th…

Let me be clear. If the state of Washington ever asked me the question:
Permanent DST or switch back and forth?
I would eagerly select "No more switching boneheads".
But I would also be emailing the state legislature asking why on earth they ended up with this boneheaded choice, when the obvious, correct, answer was right there all along: Just abolish DST.

I couldn't care less about a bunch of rich people in Brooklyn, I just read the article for the delicious drama. However, about halfway through the article, I started to see so many #FreeSoftware parallels.
1) Volunteers spend countless unpaid hours creating/maintaining something to better their community.
2) For-profit business packages it up as part of their offering.

Listening to Anthony Healy (?) head of APRA holding forth on RNZ. I'm reminded of how badly broken the concept of Copyright is. Their whole model is driven by corporate 'rights holders' who want to extract maximum $ from the market, and not the interests of individual creators who desperately need the income. The model rewards those who're already successful. New & small creators get nuthin', especially if they haven't sold out to the big evil streaming providers.…

Raiders HC Klint Kubiak Makes Feelings Clear on Tom Brady https://heavy.com/sports/nfl/las-vegas-raiders/klint-kubiak-feelings-clear-tom-brady/

id Software: Let's make a pioneering 2.5D shooter. (#Doom)
Raven Software: Oh, cool engine. But what if we added the ability to look up and down, and sometimes fly? Oh, and let's add inventory. And maybe some randomized ambient sounds. And interactive environments. (#Heretic)
Also Raven Software: You know what? Let's also add character classes. And make the gameplay more nonlinear, with going back and forth between maps. And let's add jumping. And let's add some hacks to enable doors and walls to move horizontally, and add scripting. And monsters spawning randomly. (#Hexen)
EDIT: Oh, and animated backgrounds, and thunderstorms, and falling leaves!
