Most of my shell work is encapsulated in a helper script, which is capable of doing things like querying our build server, looking at properties of pull requests, etc. I'm often glad I wrote it to print out the command it's going

manufacturing challenges aside, isn't there a practical limit to what terrestrial optical telescopes can achieve, given the interference from our atmosphere? I thought things like JWST was the necessary next step in improvement.

I'm not asking this skeptically, but out of curiosity and ignorance- how the heck does a 3 mirror setup make sense? Can't a single mirror always accomplish the same goal? (for that matter, why mirrors, with their blind spot whe

For some bizarre reason, Heineken is releasing an old-fashioned flip phone with a transparent case. Looks like it has texts, calling, and that's it.
