Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky.
Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos.

Today while tinkering with git and MacOS, I learned about "case-preserving" vs "case-sensitive" in APFS and... is it too early to start drinking? =]

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

When I interviewed for Beam Software back in 1994, they had me play Bubsy and say what I thought about it.
I played it, and was like... "this is kinda crappy". And they said "yup, that was a test - if you liked it, you would have flunked the interview"
Anyway can't wait to check out Bubsy 4D =]

So, Bubsy's back. You know, Bubsy, the talking orange bobcat mascot from the 90s? He's back, with a new 3D game developed by indie studio Fabraz and published by Atari. It's called Bubsy 4D, and it's Bubsy's first 3D adventure since 1996's (notoriously not very good) Bubsy 3D. #gamescom2025

You don't have to be all serious about it. It's easy, fun, safe, and has a surprisingly large array of physical and mental health benefits which manifest very early (first couple of months) of your lifting career.

I think the NYT house style is gonna drive me insane. "A smaller container may be be cheaper", but it also "may contain less"
What do you mean MAY contain less? A smaller container of the same substance WILL contain less, no exceptions, no ifs, buts or maybes.
WTF?
