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

it's a good thing countries are pretty short lived geologically speaking otherwise plate tectonics would cause a lot of problems
@aeva I mean it's causing enough problems with gps they have dedicated stations just to measure it and to recalibrate

@aeva oh and the whole maps rescanning the whole city every now and then thing

@pupxel i think they continuously re-map cities because of construction not plate tectonics

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 are you modeling real life or an approximation of it?

@aeva is this one of those things where the approximate solution that drifts from reality by 0.0004% every year is like 3 lines and the more correct one is 5 pages of dense research and no one who writes about it is concerned with the idea that a reader may be a beginner and not know the difference

@aeva I love the way everyone uses different names for parameters, and does everything from the POV of an observational astronomer ... Really useful for simulation work.

@aeva i believe all our physical models diverge from reality on a long enough timescale. even quantum mechanics. every model is lossy compression / fitting of reality that we extrapolate from, starting at the time that the underlying measurements were taken.
best thing i can think of is measure exact position of celestial bodies, then run a sufficiently detailed n-body sim with best guesses for all state we can not measure, starting at that point. and then restart every year.

@halcy there's no closed form solution at all and from what i can tell the good solutions need to be rejiggered every few decades to stay accurate

@halcy the real problem here is that academic astronomy best practice is to tie everything into spherical coordinates on the firmament so they can factor out the earth enough that you can pretend it is a fixed vantage point that doesn't spin, and if god forbid you do need to tie an observation to geographic coordinates for some reason i guess you just burn an undergrad on it and not sully yourself with the indignity

@halcy i've got a feeling that this is what a self taught programmer feels when they try to work out how to sort stuff faster and everything they find is either programmers telling eachother to just use a library or academic formalist nonsense

Brescia: mancano sei docenti alla scuola primaria calini, la denuncia del comitato genitori
@anarchia
Sono sei i docenti che mancano alla scuola primaria Calini di Brescia per completare l’organico e non mettere a rischio l’anno formativo. E’ quanto denunciato dal Comitato genitori della scuola primaria del quartiere Carmine che sabato 13 settembre hanno https://www.rivoluzioneanarchica.it/brescia-mancano-sei-docenti-alla-scuola-primaria-calini-la-denuncia-del-comitato-genitori/

@guiscardo Il pepe nero migliora l'assorbimento della curcumina. Il guaio è che l'organismo la metabolizza molto in fretta, purtroppo.

Tutto quello che sappiamo sulla SEO è che funziona solo pagare i motori di ricerca per salire nell’elenco dei risultati e che Google, Facebook & Co. sono agenzie pubblicitarie.
Se la gente si accontenta dei risultati del riassunto, Google venderà sempre meno pubblicità e si farà delle domande.
Ma saranno loro a farsi delle domande, non saranno certo le strategie dei sedicenti esperti a far cambiare loro idea.
E certo che chi vende SEO optimization non concorda.
Prego.https://flipboard.com/@ilpost/news-6pgniha4z/-/a-5o46sk4sRgqUhVTChyzsRA%3Aa%3A2183656918-%2F0

do you have any restricted info on #IDFSoldiers touring #Italy (and more in general #InternationalCriminalCourt state parties) disguised as tourists and protected by the #police?
Please consider to share it safely HERE:

a week ago we revealed that over the last year, #IDFSoldiers have come to Italy for #PsychologicalDecompression, disguised as tourists and protected by the Italian police's unit,#DIGOS.
No top Italian media has reported on this in the last week[English]
