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

@aeva wait, is it your fault that we’re losing the moon in however many millions of years?
@c0dec0dec0de it might not be!

@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)
@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

I warn you though, if I see the moon is broken tonight, I'll be complaining to you about it.

@CliftonR I will happily accept moon-related bug reports

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?"
@aeva at least now we have the J2000 epoch, which kiiiiinda hides away a bit of the old cruft... but yeah, it's pretty wild.
On the other hand, thanks to these whacky calendar conversions they can apparently use observations made by Chinese astronomers 2000 years ago, so hey, maybe they have a point

@jon_valdes tbh i respect that modern astronomers decided this was fine and didn't go and add new problems to the pile

in a way magpie math is kinda refreshing, like imagine not throwing everything away every few years because of industry fads
eee my copy of ｢The Astronomical Almanac 2025｣ arrived in the mail today while I was at work :D my hell spine hurts too much to be fussing with it tonight, but from flipping through it, it looks like it explains most of the information I've been missing and provides ample data to validate against <3

I'm so excited I'm gonna figure out where the moon is :O

@rygorous too much light pollution :(

@aeva it's probably for the best. Being an astronomer, it's a young man's game. If I were to eat something like that now, I'd be in a food coma for the rest of the day

@nicoco @gajim Yes, I've implemented both the allow list and the max reactions per user.
Thus far I only support this in MUCs (We mainly wanted to proof that the XEP is feasible rather than create functionality that many users will use immediately.)
Announcing it on the domain (with 'scope') would probably solve a problem that @larma and I have been talking about too.

@FraEmme io finora mi ero illusa di essermi trasferita in in altro paese lontana da tutti gli affetti per "fare un'esperienza". la verità è che l'unica azienda ad aver cagato il mio CV e ad avermi voluta assumere stava qua in Polonia. proprio ora che ho deciso di riavvicinarmi al mio ragazzo mi sto rendendo conto di quanto la mia sia stata una NECESSITÀ perché non potevo più stare a casa dei miei e non ho il lusso di potermi far mantenere. le mie esperienze all'estero le avevo già fatte...

@zeank @marcms Those Play Store links only work for first time installs (and barely).
The Play store link thing is a hack that's nice if it works but shouldn't be the primary (or only) method.
The flow needs to be something like 'go install an app, then come back to this page and click this xmpp: uri link'
The install link can have the referrer and then some users might notice that this works w/o going back to the page. But the xmpp link needs to be clickable from a prominent spot.

PASSARE A LINUX con Valerio Bozzolan @boz!
Linux è pronto per accogliere questi utenti?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfjnseY8eA8
affrontiamo il tema della fine del supporto di #Winodws10, che cosa significa per famiglie, imprese e pubblici servizi?
Assieme a Valerio ci chiediamo quale sia lo stato delle distribuzioni Linux, sono pronte ad accogliere gli utenti uscenti? Cosa farà chi non vuole o non può passare a #Windows11?

@marcms ok but it offers to create a new account. What happens if you click there? There’s not necessarily a mention of the invite but my server dev.jwchat.org should be pre-filled.
