"Margaret Hamilton, a profoundly influential computer scientist best known for leading the software engineering team at MIT during NASA’s Apollo program, died on Sep. 30. She was 90.
A computing pioneer who authored over 130 publications, Hamilton helped to establish software engineering as a dedicated discipline."
We all remember her from these iconic pictures.

Margaret Hamilton obit at the NY Times.
Mentions the incident during the Apollo 11 landing when Buzz Aldrin flipped a switch, that caused a CPU overload. The software survived because Hamilton had anticipated and simulated such a scenario and had added logic to prioritize essential tasks over others.
Paul Curto, who nominated Hamilton for a NASA Space Act Award, called Hamilton's work "the foundation for ultra-reliable software design."

Canadian Premiere-elect Paul St-Pierre Plamondon of Quebec, who won the general election on Monday, in his victory speech said he dreamed of an independent Quebec, and immediately drew support from Trump puppeteer Elon Musk.
If Quebec became an independent country, its 9 million population would make it smaller than Sweden Greece, and Hungary — and much easier to bully from The White House — which might be the reason Plamondon also said independence was not his most immediate priority.
Alt...
Elon Musk in two posts:
"Good. Quebec should separate."
"They would be better off.
Alberta and Saskatchewan should separate too."
@randahl I don't think so. I heard he promised (no politician fulfill what they promised) for the referendum once Trump is no longer POTUS, but they may as well di whatever they what having majority of seats. Some politicians promise for a future that might never come, avoiding accountability of their promises.
I sincerely hope separatists from Alberta and Quebec doesn't cause too much trouble in federal politics
@epistomai @randahl I also heard that they would wait for Trump to be out to eventually organise a referendum (called a 'neverendum' there b/c it never passes).
The size of the population should not matter in these cases. There are far smaller independent countries that are doing fine - sometimes much better than the big ones in fact.
@randahl Wouldn’t it also be a brilliant idea if Californians and New Yorkers were to secede from the US? I’m just asking.
@randahl I saw that PQ had announced that no referendum before trumpery left office, according to local media...
@randahl Québécois dreaming of independence are often being unrealistic. An actually independent Québec would, for starters, likely be significantly smaller, because plenty of people there don't want it -- such as many or most of the First Nations people who, unarguably, were there first. Violent separation is a childish fantasy. Peaceful separation would require substantial compromise on all sides.
@randahl Separately, no sane or sensible person should care what Elmo has to say about anything, unless it's saying he's finally getting the therapy he desperately needs.
"Tutto è un compromesso: più qualcosa è sicuro, più limitante o scomodo è, in generale, etc. Spesso, le persone scoprono che il problema con gli strumenti che vedono consigliati, è che sono semplicemente troppo difficili da utilizzare!"

@dillyd It's only not secret because you're significantly taller than a squirrel, even when they're standing on two legs. Nobody's going to *expect* to find a bunch of acorns in a stump, so they're not going to hop up there to look. Then, in winter, they don't have to dig through frozen soil to get at them.

BREAKING NEWS
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2026 #NobelPrize in Chemistry to Henri B. Kagan and Kenso Soai “for the discovery of non-linear effects and autocatalysis in asymmetric organic synthesis.”
With sketch of the two awardees
The discoveries by the two Nobel laureates in Chemistry deal with chirality - left-handed vs right-handed organic molecules.
Both mirrored variants are created in chemical reactions but living cells contain left-handed amino acids for proteins and right-handed sugars for DNA and RNA.
Molecules with the wrong chirality in drugs are ineffective, sometimes harmful.
Kagan and Soai laid the path for chemical reactions that create molecules with a single chirality.

Graphic on chirality
Molecules that exist as two non-identical mirror images
are called chiral molecules. The mirror images are called
enantiomers and are defined as either right or left. If a
group of molecules – such as amino acids – consists of
only right enantiomers or left enantiomers, this is called
homochirality.
Why does life on Earth exclusively use left-handed molecules (for proteins)? That's another area of research addressed by astrophysicists and astrochemists.
Theories include -
Polarized starlight or radiation in star-forming regions
Magnetic fields on Earth
Spin-polarized electrons
Evolutionary amplification of an initial imbalance

Per favore, qualche persona che ci vede meglio di me e non sa come passare il tempo riuscirebbe a dirmi che percentuale di francesi era inurbata al tempo delle Comuni (1870-1871)?
C'è il sito dell'ISTAT francese (INSEE), ma come al solito non è abbastanza accessibile per chi ci vede poco.

Il dato che ho chiesto nel toot precedente mi consentirebbe di chiarire meglio questo pezzo.
Alt...
Le città insorte furono represse sanguinosamente con una campagna militare interna.
È evidente che vi fu un grande scollamento tra le grandi città operaie, nelle quali la circolazione delle idee era più agevole, e i piccoli centri nelle campagne, imbevuti di quello che Umberto Eco definì ur-fascismo, dai quali le persone in grado di comprendere la situazione migravano verso i centri urbani il prima possibile, e ciò permise alle forze reazionarie di prevalere.
Questi avvenimenti furono descritti con tono incazzatissimo da Karl Marx in La guerra civile in Francia, pubblicato martedì 13 giugno 1871 a Londra.
Frattanto, approfittando del fatto che la Francia fosse impegolata su altri fronti, Vittorio Emanuele II diede il suo consenso alla presa di Roma di mercoledì 20 settembre 1871.
@GustavinoBevilacqua ho dato un'occhiata molto rapida ma non mi sembra di aver trovato la variabile popolazione urbana vs campagna, bisogna fare per arrondissement?
@oblomov
La polizia francese è sempre stata fascista come da tradizione secolare
@GustavinoBevilacqua
@glipari no come la nostra che è chiaramente di stampo anarco-comunista 8-D
@GustavinoBevilacqua
Certamente tutte le polizie del mondo ecc., ma quella francese comunque eccelle, come per esempio in questo caso:
In questo momento, sempre per esempio, stanno probabilmente gassando qualche quindicenne da qualche parte.
@glipari @GustavinoBevilacqua ho letto un po' di notizie, quello che sta succedendo lì è allucinante

Il dato che ho trovato io, non so se è quello che ti serve.
Non trovo il 1871, per ora.
Grazie, mi basterebbe sapere quanti erano gli agricoltori: all'epoca dovevano essere una bella fetta.
@GustavinoBevilacqua
Non riesco più a ritrovare quel foglio....
Ne ho diversi aperti.
Ho letto che cercavi gli inurbati e ho copiato quelli, pensare che a fianco c'era il dato dei campagnoli...
Inizio a sbattere gli occhi anch'io...
Ora provo a rifare la domanda in francese, grazie della collaborazione!

It’s the beginning of October, and emergency power cuts are already returning to parts of Ukraine.
Starting tomorrow, they will be introduced in several regions following russian attacks on the country’s energy infrastructure.
Tonight is shaping up to be another terrifying night for Ukraine.
Russian aircraft carrying missiles are reportedly already in the air, and dozens of Shahed drones are already attacking the country.
Yet another sleepless night ahead for millions of Ukrainians.

The savagery of the russians knows no bounds precisely because European neighbours have failed to help defend Ukrainian airspace. The less Europe does to defend Ukraine, the more these inhumans feel encouraged to disrupt, sabotage, and eventually wage open war against Europe.
Hello everyone! 👋 My name is Regina, I am a folk musician playing the nyckelharpa (a Swedish bowed instrument with sympathetic strings) based in Germany. When I'm not playing tunes or travelling to a gig, I can most likely be found in nature, growing plants, baking bread, doing pottery, befrieding cats or crafting things. It's lovely to be here and I'm looking forward to get to know lots of cool people here on Mastodon! Feel free to ask me anything! 🌱
#introduction #nyckelharpa #gardening #folkmusic #pottery #crafting #MastodonNewbie

Two instrument cases are lying on the floor, open. In each one there is a nyckelharpa, a traditional Swedish bowed instrument with a keybox made of wooden tangents and a long slim body.

In the foreground there is a bouquet of summer flowers, daisies, love-in-a-mist and ladies finger. There is a big basket full of homegrown strawberries in the background.

@regina_nyckelharpista Welcome! What a fascinating-looking instrument! I must try to find audio of it being played.
I hope you enjoy Mastodon and the people here as much as I do.
@kateiacy Thank you! You can find my music on bandcamp (https://aklejafolk.bandcamp. com) or if you want, you can see me/us play it on YouTube (https://youtube.com/@aklejafolk) 💚
The nyckelharpa is a folk instrument from Sweden 🇸🇪 with a long standing tradition there. "Nyckelharpa" is a Swedish word, "nyckel" meaning "key" and "harpa" being a general term for a stringed instrument. Its key features (hah, see what I did there?) are the sympathetic strings and a keybox full of wooden keys. Some translate it into English to "keyed fiddle" 🗝️ 🎻 "viola de teclas" in Spanish or "viola d'amore a chiavi" in Italian - although it is not a fiddle or viola ;)
How it works: I produce the sound with a bow on the strings, like on any other bowed instrument, but instead of touching the strings with the fingers of my left hand and pushing them down on a fretboard or fingerboard to play a melody, I press a key. The key moves a little wooden tangent to the string and tada, the note changes 🎉 The magical sound of the nyckelharpa is created from its sympathetic strings (usually 12) which are enhancing every note I play on the four melody strings.
If you want to hear some nyckelharpa music, you're welcome on my duos bandcamp https://aklejafolk.bandcamp.com or search for "Akleja" wherever you like to stream music. More names you can look for there are Josefina Paulson, Hazelius Hedin, Emilia Amper, Väsen, Daniel Pettersson / Sotali, Erik Rydvall - there are so many FANTASTIC players out there! 😭
The instrument pictured here was made by Mats Wester.

You can see the four big friction pegs that hold the melody strings and mechanics on the left and right side of the head, holding the twelve sympathetic strings. The headstock design is elegant and light and there is some decorations burnt into the wood.

A close-up of one of the f-holes on the soundboard of a nyckelharpa. You see the distinct outline of the body and a traditional decorative pattern burnt next to the rim. In the corners, these form little flowers. On the right side you can see the bridge and a lot of strings (thick ones for melody playing, thin ones are sympathetic strings) going over it. The wood has a honey colour.

Today was a perfect day. Cue Lou Reed, and brace yourselves for some unbridled positivity.

A boardwalk through a marshy area. The boardwalk starts at the lower left and takes a couple of angled turns towards the right. On the right is a field full of cattails gone to seed. On the left are some deciduous trees with leaves changing colors. Above is the sun in a hazy sky.
We turned a corner and came across this gentle rain of fall leaves.
We saw wild cucumbers, sleeping bees, galls, flowers, slime molds, and mushrooms, including our first shaggy inkcap of the year.

Some kind of armillaria mushroom growing at the base of a tree trunk. It's growing at a jaunty angle, with a shaggy scale cap, similar in texture to the shaggy inkcap, but much shorter
I came home and put on my bike shorts and went out again with my husband. We had a picnic under a willow tree with this cute cuckoo wasp. The forecast was for all cloudy all day, but the sky totally cleared.
Alt...
Looking up under a willow tree. Lots of slender leaves on long flexible stems, now sky behind.

A sparkly green little cuckoo wasp.
We were sitting at a pair of picnic tables. A white haired lady approached us. We smiled and said bonjour. She didn't even acknowledge us, just set to work dragging the second table several feet away, then sat facing away from us. The cool thing about a perfect day is that you can just laugh off weird stuff like that. We were still laughing about it hours later. "Man, that lady with the picnic table!"
Continuing on the bike ride, even the undergrowth was showing fall colors and glowing in the sunshine. (Don't worry, we didn't touch it)
Alt...
The edge of a woodland backlit by bright sun. The leaves in the trees are turning yellow. The undergrowth on the ground is turning yellow and orange and red. It's stunningly beautiful in the sunshine. It's poison Ivy.
On the way home we took an unfamiliar path and came across an amazing little park that we'll definitely visit again in the near future.
Alt...
A yellow coneflower against blue sky, with many more flowers in the background. The center of the flower is like a chocolate kiss rocket taking off, with long delicate yellow petals trailing behind.
We got home and chatted with some neighbors who were outside. Last week we went to the birthday party of one of the kids but left before the opening of the gifts. Today the dad told us he wished he had taken a photo of the kid's face when he opened our gift. He likes rocks, and we gave him a big blue stained and polished geode. I guess he liked it 😊
Then we continued to enjoy the wonderful weather, which had now clouded over again, with drinks and snacks in the back yard. Enjoyed some more wildlife.
Alt...
Some hosta leaves with their striped texture, some of them turning yellow and starting to curl, some still green. My finger is pointing at two tiny snails on a green leaf. The larger of the two is not even as wide as my finger nail, and the smaller is only half the diameter of the first.
Alt...
A lady bug taking off from a brown wood table. The outer shell (yellow with black dots) has opened to let out the wings.
Then I came in and changed into some comfy sweatpants. Reached into the pocket and realized I had washed them with an acorn. Because I can't resist picking up cute seeds and putting them in my pockets.
Now I'm comfy and listening to Brahms. Have a wonderful evening, friends.
Alt...
In the palm of my hand, an acorn that has gone through the wash. The cap and nut have separated. The cap is brown and looks delicate, but I guess it's pretty strong since it's still intact. The long oval nut was green when I picked it but now it's dark glossy brown.
I brought an acorn home to my wife the other day. She was unimpressed, but apologetically allowed me to add it to a shelf of nature treasure (cool rocks, shells, sticks and the like) with an air of indifference.
I never saw many acorns as a kid - we had maple trees and lots of pine, but no oak - so they're a treat when I find them.
@dicenbuttons everybody needs a nature shelf and a place for their trinkets. Acorns are nice.
@dillyd Bonjour! <pulling up my digital picnic table to yours> thank you for taking us along. Another beautiful thread.
@dillyd I used to play his Intermezzos, very dramatic, yet calm. I have sand in my cuffs, back in the land of chestnuts and acorns 🍂

🧵 La morsa di Putin sull’Europa | Gabriele Catania
https://www.valigiablu.it/putin-escalation-ibrida-morsa-europa/
Il terrore di un'invasione russa o un attacco nucleare sulle capitali europee condiziona sempre più l'opinione pubblica, ma è una paura alimentata dalla stessa Mosca. Un'offensiva convenzionale contro paesi come Polonia o Finlandia è irrealistica: entrambi vantano apparati difensivi possenti, la NATO garantisce deterrenza e le forze russe sono già logorate in Ucraina. L'opzione atomica è frenata dal veto di partner chiave come Cina e India, che non possono permettersi il collasso dei mercati UE
La vera minaccia è quella di un'escalation ibrida: una vera e propria strategia della tensione contemporanea. Droni negli spazi aerei di Romania e Moldavia, incidenti sospetti in Germania, incendi e tentati sabotaggi industriali servono a destabilizzare la fiducia dei cittadini senza superare la soglia di un conflitto aperto. Come ha sintetizzato Friedrich Merz, non siamo in guerra ma nemmeno più in pace, e l'anello debole preso di mira è la psiche collettiva
I veri talloni d'Achille della UE sono la scarsa solidarietà dell'Ovest verso i Paesi Baltici e i populismi che lucrano sulla paura della guerra invocando una finta pace. In scenari chirurgici a bassa intensità, come un incidente a Narva o nel corridoio di Suwalki, Mosca mirerebbe a paralizzare l'articolo 5 sfruttando le nostre esitazioni interne. La salvaguardia della democrazia europea dipende oggi dalla tenuta al fronte degli ucraini: è Kyiv lo scudo che tutela la nostra sicurezza comune
Per via degli sconti, che no te sè mia quanto i dura.
