A meteorologist informs us just how frightening Hurricane Beryl really is...
_________________________Officially, the Atlantic hurricane season begins on June 1. But most years, the tropics remain fairly sleepy for the first month or two. The really big and powerful hurricanes do not spin up until August or September when seas reach their peak temperatures.
Not so this year, in which the Atlantic Ocean is boiling already. The seas in the main development region of the Atlantic have already reached temperatures not normally seen until August or September.
This has led to the rapid intensification of Hurricane Beryl, which crashed through the Windward Islands on Monday and is now traversing the Caribbean Sea toward Jamaica.
Beryl is, to put it mildly, a freak storm.
It intensified on Monday night into a Category 5 hurricane, with sustained winds of 165 mph. Like other meteorologists, I had to check my calendar to verify that it really just was the first day of July. Remember, we're still in the traditionally "sleepy" part of hurricane season. Prior to Beryl, in more than a century of hurricane records, the earliest a Category 5 hurricane has ever developed in the Atlantic was July 16. That was Hurricane Emily, in 2005, the notorious hurricane season that delivered Katrina to New Orleans about a month later.
The point here is not to discuss the threat of Beryl to the United States, which seems in the modest-to-minimal range. Rather, it's the implications of Beryl both for the rest of the Atlantic season and as a harbinger for what to expect from the tropics in a world where we see warmer seas on the regular.
For this year, forecasters have been consistently predicting a hyperactive season due to the combination of roasting sea surface temperatures and the onset of La Niña during the critical months of August, September, and October. That forecast seems to be right on track and will be of concern to all coastal residents in the United States, Mexico, and the Caribbean islands.
Longer term, the implications are sobering for hurricanes in a world modified by climate change. The emerging consensus from scientists has been that there will be an increase in tropical cyclone intensities and that the proportion of major hurricanes will increase. But even in such a world, Beryl would be an outlier. That we're already seeing superstorms develop in late June and early July should concern everyone everywhere.

Here's the shot where my focus point was firmly on the lavender sweater at the bottom of the frame, no motion blur at 1/300 s, and yet it's hopelessly out of focus.

I cancelled my New York Times subscription today.
I already knew it was bad. But I didn't realize how much the entire paper simply regurgitates Trump's own talking points until last week's debate.
For a time, I thought the NYT was simply asleep at the wheel and underestimating the threat at the door. It's now clear to me the paper is, in fact, a willing and deliberate accomplice.
I'd like to support actual journalism. The NYT is not that. I'm open to better options if you have them.

As for fediverse accounts underneath link previews, for now this feature requires manual review from our side so that we can avoid the risk of malicious sites framing users as their authors, but we intend to build out a self-serve system to manage which sites you can be featured from very soon.

is there a popular option for software that sits on an RPi (or similar) and serves a web app connected to a printer? easy enough to build but it feels like well-trodden ground

This profile preview features the first two lines of the user's bio and the first two fields (commonly used for information like pronouns or verified links) which should hopefully make people more informed about who they talk to before they do so (similar idea as the reply prompts we launched a while back on Android).

We've actually released two features today that I'm really excited about. One is, as you may already know, displaying the author's fediverse account underneath link previews. But the other is showing a profile preview when you hover a user anywhere in the web app, with a quick follow shortcut.

Neuromante, il primo romanzo di William Gibson, ha compiuto 40 anni. Uscito nel 1984, tra le pieghe del thriller-noir fantascientifico anticipò tecnologie e ossessioni che fanno parte del nostro quotidiano, con una forza premonitrice straordinaria e ancora attualissima.

the sqlite codebase is a gem.
tldr; mcaffee made a shit ton of sqlite files in the temp folder causing people to call the sqlite devs phone angrily. now they name all files etilqs to prevent this.
Today we're launching a new #Mastodon feature that will highlight writers and journalists that are active on the fediverse when their their articles are being shared.

What architectural search terms should I use if I want to find "infrastructure forward" designs?
Think more well designed datacenter than messy telephone poles. But to live in.
