The Event Horizon Telescope, incidentally, is a fantastic example of a large scale decentralised non-governmental collaboration.
That black hole image was taken using 8 separately managed radio telescopes scattered across the planet. It was organised by scientists working in 60 different research institutes in 17 countries across 6 continents. With no motive beyond trying to learn something which they didn't know before.

LB: Yeah yeah I know that's via Hacker News, but oh DANG:
https://chanind.github.io/china/2019/04/10/github-996-china-digital-workers-rights.html :
In China’s tech sector a peculiar uprising has begun: workers are demanding to be treated fairly. Even more fascinating is that the medium by which this movement is taking shape is via a single Github repo, which at the time of writing has over 200,000 stars making it one of Github’s most popular repos of all time.

Web pattern gripes
This pattern is one of the most annoying patterns on the web. "Sign In" is low priority or almost hidden, so often I end up clicking the "Sign Up" button when I just want to interact with the website.
imo, your current users should be just as important as your future users - thus you should have signing in be on similar priority to signing up.

If anyone can help, we need some help covering our bills and HRT for @desvox and @plausocks after a really expensive trip to get the last of @plausocks stuff from Connecticut.
We still have to go get the last of it, but it's not as urgent as before, so we can work in the meantime as opposed to waiting eternally in limbo.
Case in point: I played 3 hours of PoE this evening and finished 3 acts and I feel unstoppable
I think the reason I'm investing more heavily into PoE than Warframe is the return on time investment feels a lot greater. In 35 hours I barely feel like I've gotten anywhere in Warframe but 35 hours has me one, if not two characters at postgame mapping in poe
act 8 on bane trickster lol

The Event Horizon Telescope is an array of telescopes the size of the Earth, to achieve the highest angular resolution of any astronomical facility yet.
Every night they've been gathering million gigabytes of data. It’s the largest amount of recording in any other experiment in astronomy to date. "Five years ago we couldn't even afford the hard drives for this"
The difficulty of this task can be compared to “taking a picture of a DVD on the surface of the moon from the surface of the Earth”

Tomorrow, at 9 AM eastern standard time, for the first time in human history, we're going to have real images of a black hole.
The livestream will be broadcast here, and I will have a thread to talk about the results of it right here on this alt account as it happens!

re: stackoverflow dev survey results
most important job factors: men and women named the same top 4 (languages/technologies, office environment/company culture, flex time/flexible schedule, opportunities for professional development),
women assigned a higher priority to environment/culture because [see OP], and both men and women ranked diversity very low (7th out of 10 for women, 10th out of 10 for men)
non-binary respondents’ priorities were similar to women’s except that they assigned *much* more importance to diversity, bumping “opportunities for professional development” out of the top 4
why does my body do this i just want to sleep
