    How is the _newer_ stuff redshifted?

    This is gravitational lensing, and it’s a snapshot of the large scale structure of the universe over its history, permanently warped into the CMB. Planck’s results represents our first steps into a future of examining the large scale structure of the universe this way.

    So what I didn’t realize about the cosmic microwave background (this thing I’ve been tweeting about today) is that, as the light’s paths have traveling across the entire Universe over its entire age and span, it’s been deflected by all the gravitational potentials along the way.

    I’m downloading a multi-gig FITS file of the cosmic microwave background because why the hell wouldn’t you? At what point do you go, “Well, it’s the clearest picture that humanity has ever taken of the primordial light of creation, but I don’t really need *all* those pixels.”

    Oh, my God. The complete archive of the third and final data release (and the others!) of is online thanks to the ESA! You can access gigs and gigs of raw data and do your own cosmological analyses! There are programmatic APIs for access, too, and even a Java client.

    no but now i’m thinking of trump traveling through time trying to fix regrets “i wish i wish i hadn’t drank that piss”

    Apparently, according to Vanity Fair's "How O.J. Simpson Killed Popular Culture," at one point 74% of Americans could identify Kato Kaelin, while only 25% could identify Al Gore.

    When you go to look at your DNA relatives on 23andMe, it shows an interstitial mentioning your “DNA Family Breakdown,” which sounds like a wicked Charlie Daniels Band song.

    This shit endlessly ticks me off. When Firefox did it with “Australis” years ago, I whined about it too.

    There’s nothing really special in this view (except a tiny smear of the Andromeda Galaxy in the bottom right), but this sort of thing might be nice to print, just to have a lot of stars to look at sometime.

    You’d maybe enjoy reading this extremely long post about SpaceX: There is a section toward the bottom about how, for example, landing the used up first stage is a trick meant to impress rubes and is wasteful on top of that.

    I had to fill in a 2FA code to log in to my Simple account, and it came in via a text message. Mojave caught the message, read the code, and then allowed me to autocomplete it right into the form from within Safari. I nearly screamed.

    On both version 12.0 (14606.1.22.2) of Safari (included with Mojave 10.14 Beta (18A326h)) and Safari Technology Preview Release 60 (Safari 12.0, WebKit 14606.1.23.1), I see something different.

    This is not what I moved up here for.
