@AgreeableLandscape@mastodon.social I have bad news for you about the "Javascript Space Telescope" https://jwst.nasa.gov/resources/ISIMmanuscript.pdf
covid booster NL
It's time for booster number five in the Netherlands and they are doing it based on age again. So I've restarted my cronjob to track the required birthday: https://ikwilcoronabooster.nl/
@brainsmoke April 11, 1955 is often used as the Year Zero for Martian calendars, although my watch is using AM2000's suggested epoch https://pubs.giss.nasa.gov/docs/2000/2000_Allison_al05000n.pdf
Ooh fun! Calendar math on a different planet with a different *Equation of Time* and dealing with Earth's *Leap Seconds*. Thanks, NASA, for the worked examples and test cases! https://www.giss.nasa.gov/tools/mars24/help/algorithm.html
re: hellsite
@noracodes whitequark once said something I did was _really really impressive_ and I'm not sure I've ever been so flattered.
@meena it's like everyone wants to relive the Unix Wars of the 80s and 90s when we never knew how to print (`lp` or `lpr`?) nor how to list all processes (`ps -ef` or `ps aux`?)...
@mxshift `JANK` is also how I would describe my laptop m.2 to MiniPCI to RS232 to null modem to USB serial console adapter chain.
@murilove rough estimate is there are around 20k possible two-state machines $(2*3*2)^4$, although many likely quickly diverge and are uninteresting. There are only 36 one-state machines, so it is tractable to draw them all. Only two are interesting, `[1,+1],[0,-1]` and its mirror `[1,-1],[0,+1]`.
