Wouldn't want to be a Roscosmos higher-up right now. I hope they manage to stay away from windows on higher floors.

This was supposed to be Putin's triumph over the 'degenerate west'.

A showcase app for the Flutter SDK.

Built by gskinner in partnership with the Flutter team, Wonderous deliberately pushes visual fidelity, effects and transitions to showcase what Flutter is truly capable of on modern mobile hardware.

The reason communications with the Voyager 1/2 twin probes have lasted for like 45 years:

Voyager 2 is equipped with three Multihundred-Watt radioisotope thermoelectric generators (MHW RTG). Each RTG includes 24 pressed plutonium oxide spheres, and provided enough heat to generate approximately 157 W of electrical power at launch.

So the result of me writing this was that John Gruber was added as the BDFL of Markdown. Creator, sure, BDFL, that's a stretch.

Does anyone have any experiences to share about the performance differences between regular RDS/MySQL and Aurora for MySQL (I/O optimized config)?

(The article is about the PostgreSQL variant.)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benevolent_dictator_for_life has a list of BDFLs. Bram is the first BDFL in that list who has passed away. We're in for a generational shift the coming decade(s). It makes sense to prepare - that is how you preserve a legacy, and the community.

I've been impressed with how Bram's passing has been handled by his family and friends with respect to his legacy and the future of vim.

Sounds hopeful to me - in contexts where the architects somehow only want to design buildings people don't really like, for reasons.
