On the Origin of Species was published on this day in 1859, forever changing our understanding of nature and our origins. Here are the charming doodles Darwin's kids left all over his manuscript with their tiny opposable thumbs: https://t.co/BGtxu11Mgz

Reverse GitHub Copilot, it doesn't write any code for you, instead it asks you to explain your code with non-specific questions and through the rubber duck effect this causes you to notice bugs and/or realize yourself how to proceed with coding. On the inside it is literally just Eliza (1964)

@rabia_elizabeth@mefi.social thanks! I'll look into this
@rabia_elizabeth@mefi.social what resources have you found most helpful for learning Arabic? are you learning to speak or just read it? I bought a Quran that's all in Arabic, but I can only read the numbers so far 😆

I was also able to get a better photograph of my koi fish drawing. Natural light makes all the difference.
Here's the listing for it on etsy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1604274553/hand-drawn-koi-fish-on-watercolor-paper

Apropos of nothing (and everything):
It is way more fun to lift people up than to tear them down.
@Nancy_A @asrivkin
> That’s the class of stony meteorites which account for over 80% of total meteorite falls on Earth. This means DART’s test was an extremely good proxy for the type of asteroids that might pose a threat one day.
the S type may be most of the ones we know impact earth, but is that necessarily the ones we should worry about, or could there be other types that, while less frequently encountered, would be larger when they reach us, don't break up as much in atmosphere, or be harder to redirect, so that they pose a greater risk overall?

After DART Smashed Into Dimorphos, What Happened to the Larger Asteroid Didymos? @asrivkin tells me about new observations using JWST to see how the parent asteroid is doing, post-DART impact. https://www.universetoday.com/163895/after-dart-smashed-into-dimorphous-what-happened-to-the-larger-asteroid-didymos/
@DejahEntendu @bookstodon the new one in the series is available for pre-order. release Nov 14 #murderbot #MarthaWells #SystemCollapse
@shauna not knowing what kind of problems that package is causing, it's hard to say, but I'd try to work with the maintainers of that package so it's more well-behaved.
If the maintainers aren't interested in that, you could consider forking...but that has a whole other set of problems. I've done it for small libraries, but the nature of your initial problem makes me think that's not your case.
