Last week I asked Google to stop releasing broken things. Apologists said maybe I needed to contribute more, write code or demos.
Last year I outlined some of what I *have* done and how, for the most part, Google / Web•dev doesn’t give a shit:

Don’t Use Web•dev for Accessibility Info
Web.dev is a site from Google Chrome developer relations that provides content both to evangelize Chrome and to more broadly support the web platform. Rachel Andrew’s monthly “new to the platform” posts are effectively required reading to try to stay abreast of the browser support landscape. However, the accessibility content…

I've seen #POTUS47 use the phrase "tapping me along" a couple of times in the 2 weeks regarding Putin. I've never heard that phrase before, but from context, it sounds like he means "leading me on".
I did a quick web search "tapping me along", and 2 of the top ranked results are web forum posts where people are asking what Turnip means when he says it. Th…

Söders neues Paket für Sozialwohnungen: Turbo oder Luftnummer?

Sozialer Wohnungsbau: Branche reagiert zurückhaltend auf Söders „Sommerpaket“
Weil die Fördertöpfe leer sind, hat Markus Söder weitere 400 Millionen Euro für Sozialwohnungen versprochen. Nun gibt es neue Details.

I once saw--was shown--a woman have a baby in health class. In a movie, of course. I think she was a 1940s-1950s army wife. Recruited God knows how. Of course she didn't just--splort--have a baby. They led up to the main event with a story. Just like regular porn.

Detectability and Parameter Estimation for Einstein Telescope Configurations with GWJulia
Future gravitational-wave (GW) detectors are expected to detect tens of thousands of compact binary coalescences (CBC) per year, depending also on the final detectors layout. For this reason, it is essential to have a fast, reliable tool for forecasting how different detector layouts will affect parameter estimation for these events. The Fisher Information Matrix (FIM) is a common tool for tackling this problem. In this paper, we present a new open source code GWJulia to perform FIM analysis of…

Spherical inspirals of spinning bodies into Kerr black holes
Extreme mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs), consisting of a stellar-mass compact object spiraling into a massive black hole, are key sources for future space-based gravitational wave observatories such as LISA. Accurate modeling of these systems requires incorporating the spin effects of both the primary and secondary bodies, particularly for waveforms at the precision required for LISA detection and astrophysical parameter extraction. In this work, we develop a framework for modeling flux-driven sph…

The Importance of the Population III Initial Mass Function in Determining the Characteristics of the Earliest Galaxies
We use large-scale cosmological simulations to study the prospect of observing Population III (Pop III) bright galaxies with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). To quantify the impact of radiative transfer (RT), we compare a simulation that includes moment-based RT with one in which RT is handled approximately. Both simulations include a subgrid model of turbulent mixing, which is essential in tracking the formation of Pop III stars. We find that RT has a minor impact on our results and that…

A Global-scale Database of Seismic Phases from Cloud-based Picking at Petabyte Scale
We present the first global-scale database of 4.3 billion P- and S-wave picks extracted from 1.3 PB continuous seismic data via a cloud-native workflow. Using cloud computing services on Amazon Web Services, we launched ~145,000 containerized jobs on continuous records from 47,354 stations spanning 2002-2025, completing in under three days. Phase arrivals were identified with a deep learning model, PhaseNet, through an open-source Python ecosystem for deep learning, SeisBench. To visualize and …

Louis Armstrong: The US jazz icon with a 'controversial' legacy? If you ask me, Pops was grinnin' 'cause he was winnin'! Micheal Ray said to me, there were only two times in America when it was OK to be black and happy; the other time was Disco.
Gold plated bathroom, Richard Nixon smuggles your stash, and (fuck Miles, he was too coked to have sense) not one detractor, even his ex and his mistress joined his wife at his funeral. Yeah, 'controversial' 🙄
