Just wanted to share this sweet image of NGC 765, a barred spiral galaxy with beautifully extended spiral arms.

@redstarfish neovim originally was an attempt to clean the vim codebase by _removing_ the features from the core to enable more powerful plugins, so, in way, yes and now: emacs way is to empower the editor via the plugins, vim (~unixy) way is to offload extra functionality to separate programs. Neovim was the first to introduce the plugins that execute in separate threads (before vim8), emacs is still single-threaded as far as I know.

@trinsec ah, double backslashes, here we go

\\[ \frac{\partial f}{\partial t} + \mathbf{v} \cdot \nabla f - \nabla \Phi \cdot \frac{\partial f}{\partial \mathbf{v}} = 0 \\]

@trinsec Hi! I'm playing with some latex just to test if it works, but without much success so far. Probably missing the correct syntax? (tried `\ [` and `\ (` with and without spaces in between)

Greetings! I'm an PhD student who mostly works with N-body simulation of galaxies (i.e. code in Python all days and some nights).

Sometimes pretend to be a fan of and and package some obstinate astro codes for to run on our server (in a private repo though, I'll submit the patches to the upstream, I promise :)

Never been on the birdsite (can't really stand against the wave of random notifications) but always wanted to have a sort of microblogging acc to post random fancy pictures from my work, and looks like a very nice place to land.
