I really like the central core advice of this article:
“If you haven’t seen a total solar eclipse, I encourage you, don’t waste your time photographing it.”

Ich liebe das Englische tief und unerklärlich, aber ein paar Wörter kann NIEMAND mit Würde aussprechen. Bisher war mein Standardbeispiel „pear“, aber heute fahren wir eine Strecke mit Ziel „Ore“, und mir tut die weibliche Bandstimme bei jeder Ansage leid.
On the topic of alternative fuels like hydrogen, ammonia, and nuclear, this look at Japan's energy dilemma is quite interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pATw7clEfzM

Satoshi Tagomori is speaking at EuRuKo 2026.
Ruby committer, OSS developer, PdM at SAKURA internet.
His talk – Stacking Boxes – covers Ruby Box, the new feature in Ruby 4.0 that's still being actively developed. The separation and isolation it provides is useful for development, deployment and testing. What it is, when to use it, why to try it.

RT: @Chrisviews43 @ZackPolanski is absolutely right on this.
We pay for the @BBCNews to inform us, yet if Farage says something about migrants, the BBC and Sky News can spend days treating Reform’s fantasy politics like it is the biggest issue facing the country.
Meanwhile, climate change, one of the biggest threats to our national security and our future, barely gets anything like the same attention.
And here is the irony. The media constantly tells us to fear migration, but if we continue ignoring climate change, we could see migration on a scale never seen before. This time it might be us looking for somewhere safer to live.
I am sick of being fed a divisive narrative simply because Farage says something and the MSM decides it must therefore be important.
Zack is right to call this out. Journalism should be challenging nonsense and informing us about the real threats ahead, not helping one politician decide what the country should be angry about this week.
Ukraine's General Staff confirmed a strike on the TANECO refinery in Nizhnekamsk, with a fire recorded at the site. It also confirmed damage to the AVT-6 primary oil processing column at the Ilsky refinery from the August 8 strike. At Hvardiiske airfield in occupied Crimea, the August 3 attack destroyed 9 aviation fuel tanks and damaged 2 aircraft hangars. Russian repair, logistics and artillery storage sites in occupied Luhansk and Donetsk were also hit. #Ukraine
RT: @WSJForero Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner paid $120 million for a swath of coastal Albania to build a resort.
Problem is the seller is an Albanian gangster (based in Miami, of course), and the land belongs to a bunch of villagers. @WSJ uncovers this wild story: https://www.wsj.com/world/europe/jared-kushner-albania-shehu-drug-investigation-95391263?st=1232P9
