We take you inside a lab at Environment and Climate Change Canada that could go from 9 scientists to 1, thanks to PM Carney's public service cuts. This lab makes sure our water isn't slick with oil, and our fish aren't infested with plastics.

don't remind people of better albums during your bad album. *having a billion dollars makes you stupid* music edition

silly facts learned about python this morning 1. heapq methods don't seem to actually be methods - I have no idea exactly why 2. you can frivolously just heappush tuples with random stuff in them and it _just works_? 3. math.hypot does euclidean distance

there's a big problem with the culture here on bluesky, and it's that not nearly enough people are posting about the 10 year anniversary of Carly Rae Jepsen's groundbreaking and timeless album EMOTION being this year and how awesome that is

@shriram.bsky.social in terms of fancy emacs stuff, I just discovered this github.com/jdtsmith/ult... - not sure if you've seen this before, but it's quite delightful!

@durumcrustulum.com finished my (probably wrong) implementation of XWing! github.com/aidenfoxivey... I used the Arduino X25519 library and PQClean's ML-KEM-768
