i nerd sniped myself tonight and i imagine the NSA operative who is assigned to me is very confused by the increasingly erratic and frustrated google searches for HOW DO I CALCULATE THE MOON WHERE IS THE MOON

astronomy math is out of this fucking world btw like want to know where the moon is? great buckle up you're in for a few hundred years of bizarre hacks and lots of exciting questions like "wait, why are they using the julian calendar?"

This is the best post to read entirely out of context that I have seen in years.

in a way magpie math is kinda refreshing, like imagine not throwing everything away every few years because of industry fads

@aeva I think part of it is we stopped trying to guess based on date and moved to measurements and short term extrapolation

@aeva wait, is it your fault that we’re losing the moon in however many millions of years?

ok so back to the moon thing, i found another resource and i think i understand the why behind the asinine coordinate systems a little better but it also glosses over the math so it's kinda useless at the same time. i'm tempted to just make shit up and move on, but it would bother me that the function was wrong if i did that
@aeva This is why we threw our hands up and said, just use what's already been done. We outsource "where are the space things" to NAIF SPICE: https://naif.jpl.nasa.gov/naif/aboutspice.html (there's also the rust rewrite, ANISE, but we don't trust that at my place of work yet)

@c0dec0dec0de it might not be!

@squirrelbaffler it occurred to me that this is one of those situations where one would probably normally use a library, but the problem is I need to prioritize speed over accuracy because it's repeatedly invoked in a real time audio thread, a use case which i'd not expect to be shared by serious scientific or industrial use cases

Journalist, historian, and author Anne Applebaum:
"I spent most of the day talking to Ukrainians, some of whom are fighting, some of whom are making drones, some of whom are doing other things to keep their country going. I have to say it doesn't feel like a place that's giving up and it doesn't feel like or look like a place that's shutting down.
So whatever you've read in the newspaper, whatever you saw on social media, think again when you see this."

My dear friend @kathimmel, someone sent me this message two days ago, and it perfectly captures my thoughts. Sometimes it's hard to hold on to hope and not give in to despair. But that means they win. Thank you so much for everything you do. May God answer us and reward you abundantly. You are in my heart and mind as well. 🤍🤍🌹🍉💔

Il conflitto in Ukraina è il black friday dei grandi magazzini di armi americane.
Costa di più rimandare alla fabbrica i proiettili, missili ed esplosivi vicini alla scadenza, che usarli o venderli facendoli pagare a prezzo pieno agli alleati.
E in più liberi gli scaffali per le armi più fresche.

@FoxesInLove brb I need to start digging a hole (and add enough pillows to make it a *comfortable* hole)
