  Fediverse hive mind: Anyone know of a tutorial for how to write a program to show the night sky? (I'm pretty sure there's a name for this, but I'm drawing a blank) And bonus, how one would plot the positions of planets, moons, etc if it was a fantasy night sky and not ours? #astronomy #programming #worldbuilding #simulation

  Pretty sure I've said this before, but I'm always a little amused when the National Weather Service issues an excessive heat warning for Arizona. "Yes, you already said Arizona, why are you repeating yourself?"

  Occasionally at the Institute For The Study Of Foxish Awesomeness we hear that some people are surprised to learn foxes can climb trees. As a reminder, foxes are nature's way of combining the best of canines with the best of felines. Foxes absolutely can climb trees.

I recently got the urge to dig my old dslr and compact point&shoot cameras out from where they've been hiding and I'm interested in improving my skills and current software options.

  So the Blu Ray player I've been using for viewing YouTube on our TV has decided it no longer wants to load anything more than the menu screen background (already tried completely disconnecting from power and restarting). Long term I plan to set up some variety of Linux media streaming box. But for various reasons that's unlikely to happen for a few months. I'm thinking of just grabbing the base model Roku stick in the meantime. Any Roku/cheap streaming device opinions? #...
