The Earth has only a single Moon. You might know it as "The Moon." But every now and then, a small asteroid gets too close to Earth and dances with our planet's gravity for a few months or years. Now, astronomers have detected an 11-meter asteroid, designated 2024 PT5, that came within 567,000 km of Earth and will shortly trace a horseshoe path around our planet. It will become a temporary satellite from September 29th until November 25th before it leaves again.

Adventures in #pathfinder2e Character Sheet Building: writing a JSON schema to validate the character sheet info. This is kinda critical as I want to be able to edit the character info in the character sheet, but I don't want it to crash because I added something dumb. The schema was around 420 lines, and looks like it's working. The character sheet info itself is in YAML, but it's a simple conversion to get the validation to work. #python #tui #json #yaml

Let f be a function from a set A to a set B.
f is a :
- injection if and only if f(x)=f(y) implies x=y.
- surjection if and only if for every y in B, there exists an x in A such that f(x)=y.
- a bijection if and only if f is injective and surjective

Identify the non injective surjection, the non surjective injection, the bijection, and the function that is neither surjective nor injective, in this illustration ( done with python )

#UnpopularOpinion I am torn (since many years) between what’s more destructive to progress: Monopolies created by copyright and patents in a supposedly free market or the (mostly ego-driven) infighting in the #OpenSource #FreeSoftware world. Both stifle innovation and progress, IMHO (In My Humble Opinion) and experience of 30+ years in fighting both. The latter seemed to me to be more easy to solve for many years, but I’m not so sure anymore.

A scrappy little astronomical community is using “Microlensing,” a form of gravitational lensing, to reveal Earth-sized worlds, hidden black holes, and a host of mysterious phenomena in space. Microlensing alignments are short-lived compared to larger lenses that endure far beyond human timescales. byteseu.com/423684/ #Astrobiology #Astrophysics #Cosmology #PlanetaryScience #Space #SpaceExploration #SpaceTechnology

Francesca Albanese has said that because Israel’s presence in the occupied Palestinian territories is unlawful, “it constitutes an aggression against the right of self-determination”.

“The Palestinians – like it or not – have the right to resist the oppression,” she said.

The caveat, she said, is that this resistance has to be done “within the realm and the limits of international law, therefore civilians cannot be targeted, killed or taken hostage”.
