Das Guggenheim Museum hat seine Kunstbücher zum Download bereit gestellt und es ist großartig https://archive.org/details/guggenheimmuseum?&sort=-downloads&page=3

I have been struggling *all year* to understand the nuances of how node packages are published—particularly libraries, and not big webpack apps. I wish someone had just told me this:

- Babel doesn’t transpile dependencies.
- Your code goes in src/, the output goes in dist/.
- Write your entrypoints as though everything had been in dist/ all along.
- src/ only goes in git.
- dist/ only goes to npm, so build before you push.
- You mustn’t tell npm to pull from a git repo. It might seem simpler, but then you’d have to commit dist/, which is bad.
- Under-engineer your build system as much as possible. If you can get away with only using Babel, all the better.

Hello, Merveilles.

I'm a digital artist, recovering from a creative block, who switched to Linux full-time in 2020. (Below is the first pixel art piece I've made in a couple years.)

I also spend my time making soundtracks to silent films, and deleting as much of my data off the Internet as possible.

I'm currently working on a piece for Spring Thing 2020.

Thank you for having me.

I hear tech folks saying that RSS is dead, and people on social media saying that blogs are dead.

The problem with this is twofold:

- RSS is doing just fine, and not even remotely dead

- Blogs are doing just fine, and are not even remotely dead, either

There's this strange sort of defeatism around. "Well, we lost, so what can you do". Um, not undermine things that still work and are actively being used? Support them as well?

If you're deploying your application as a container, it's bad practice to build it in the same container. But I had trouble finding good documentation for how to do this for a setuptools package without uploading to PyPI and risking a dependency's needing to compile an extension module.

The answer is to use "pip wheel" in the build container, pointing at a directory that's mounted from the host, then use "pip install --no-index --find-links=<directory>".

Aryeh Nirenberg has created an amazing video, which lets you feel the rotation of the earth:

Using a tracking mount aligned with North Star, he kept taking photos every 12 seconds for about 3 hours. The camera is looking at the same portion of the Milky Way.

Also the Tesla approach to EU Cybertruck sales.

People have been trained not to expect or understand interoperability, and this provides a barrier for entry to any protocol with support from multiple clients.
