I would say don't buy this -- but if you had $45k to spend on astronomy, you'd either be extremely passionate and know what you were doing, or you wouldn't care about that money. S…

With all due respect, I think it's strange to critique something as deeply personal as a technique used in creative writing.

Are there any inhabited and lively MUDS/MUSHes/MUXes still around? I miss those.

Just wait, someone will want to tell you about a lisp they wrote in Ruby, soon.

As a former head of engineering for a mid-sized IoT company with many tens of thousands of devices deployed in the field using a competing product (no, not the AWS one), seeing thi…

cloudynights is a wonderful community for astronomy of all kinds, including astrophotography.

This is something that has been a source of frustration for me. There are many wonderful and incredibly in-depth communities on Reddit. They only get that way with substantial inve…

re Argument definition: I don't think this person is trying to debate you. That's sort of the core of my point. You're giving a really forceful reaction to someone I perceive to be…

> I am as equally as surprised by their surprise about how much R&D is involved in making a "simple" lamp. I think your surprise is justified, especially since you've been in this …

I'll add one more thing to my sibling comment. This person is clearly unaware of whether there is ongoing R&D in the realm of hobby astrophotography mounts. They mentioned they're …

I don't think this person is trying to argue this. They're asking a sincere question about a non-intuitive aspect of open source company business models, and they just keep getting…

I'm not sure why you're so hostile to the GP. Their questions are sincere. Your comparison to the M1 is not appropriate, and you're not actually paying attention to what they wrote…

I think in general your point is correct. However, this is not a fair comparison. In astrophotography, a primary consideration for the price point of a mount is its instrument weig…

I'm not sure I would agree with that. Measures are being taken, and the Japanese government believes that the rate of infection is still very much growing [1]. Schools have been sh…

True! I missed that. Digging into it, they also had an incredible testing network, which is claimed to be a key differentiator. In the US, the government is actively telling people…

It's fairly easy to reason about the factors that go into the spread of the disease. We have diligent data from Japan, Korea, Spain, and Italy. All show infection curves with very …

I've never worked with them directly, but I've been looking at making a little game using Rust for some time. This site has been really helpful for library discovery and examples. …

Thank you! I found your site long ago and I’ve enjoyed every article. I often wondered what your plan for it was and would be. This puts a little closure on it. I feel the same way…
