In August 2011, Los Alamos techs posed 8 plutonium rods on a work table to take a few photos.
Had these rods rolled into each other there would have been an instant criticality event. (Think "Demon Core")
Worst still, a supervisor who saw the display ordered the techs to safe the rods, ignoring the protocol to evacuate EVERYBODY (b/c even a hand could moderate the neutrons & cause criticality).
It caused a 4-year, billion-dollar shutdown.

Smart people + overfamiliarity = stupid things.

I keep seeing people say Mastodon is nothing like Twitter. And they’re right.
Mastodon is an echo of the old internet, it’s decentralised, chaotic. What you get depends on your sysadmin. You can’t search, everything has to be shared to you by a human. Networks split apart and rejoin. What you see is your unique connection to it.
Is this good? Maybe. But for me that’s the internet I grew up with. No algorithms, no targeted adverts, just human interaction, and it was glorious.

This also is very much like early Twitter. I joined in 2007. Twitter was a cheap group SMS service, it connected you to your friends not to companies and celebrities.
I get that I’m not like most people. I grew up in a very conservative rural area so the internet has always been my connection to friends and peer groups, a way to converse with people rather than a way to escape or get famous.
Si tu me dis quand tu appelles, je peux juste te dire si je vois de l'activité sur les LEDs RX et TX du serveur

Find your Twitter friends on Mastodon!
Pour l'instant c'est surtout s'assurer d'être facilement trouvable grâce à cet outil, car peu de monde (en tout cas dans la twittosphère fr) y à déjà associé ses deux comptes. Mais plus l'usage se répand dans nos communautés, plus ça sera utile :).

Testing Mathjax on my instance with the Maxwell-Faraday equation:
$$\oint_{\partial \Sigma} \mathbf{E} \cdot \mathrm{d}\boldsymbol{\ell} = - \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}t} \iint_{\Sigma} \mathbf{B} \cdot \mathrm{d}\mathbf{S}$$

Superbe article bien détaillé !! Merci pour le partage, c'est super intéressant.
J'ai juste relevé une coquille : "soit-même" au lieu de "soi-même" :3
Ce que j'aime avec Perl 6 (pardon, ça s'appelle #Raku désormais), c'est la terminologie, qui me donne l'envie de retourner à la fac.J'apprends donc que Raku a de l'auto‑vivification, de l'auto-boxing, de la contrainte *et* de la coercition, des allomorphes, des sigils et des twigils, et surtout le gobage gourmand des arguments restants.
