My husband had to wait for 6 years to capture this view of #TheNeedles.

Taken as the #moon set at 4.30 am last summer. This shot is only possible a couple of times each year. He almost had it in 2016 but it was slightly too breezy and the telephoto lens couldn't keep in focus.

It causes controversy as some think it's fake, I promise you that it is not. It involved much research, persistence and luck with the weather! It's the cover shot on our 2024 calendar #IsleofWight #photography

• Two huge chalk stacks with a red and white striped lighthouse at the end. The setting full moon appears to be balancing on top of the lighthouse. The colour of the sea and sky is a muted blue, almost a denim like colour owing the sun being on the verge of rising. (remote)

I have a working MVP of a new WebAssembly implementation: https://github.com/evanw/polywasm. It implements WebAssembly in JavaScript (i.e. it's a polyfill for WebAssembly), which allows WebAssembly-based apps to still work even when the browser's WebAssembly implementation has been disabled. They will run much slower of course, but some WebAssembly apps don't require real-time performance.

I don't know who needs to hear this but abandoning that open source project that is burning you out is not a personal failure.

You can just mark it as unmaintained and walk away.

Maybe someone else will pick it up.

Maybe they won't.

It's not a child. You don't have to raise it to adulthood.

me, I would have gone for “Fort Harriet Tubman“

Today in History, 1863: The Raid on Combahee Ferry

“Tubman later said that the only flaw was her choice of clothing in that her green dress had been damaged and torn by excited freedmen boarding the ships. A few weeks later, the 2nd South Carolina and the 54th Massachusetts raided up the river to Darien, Georgia…

The Combahee Ferry raid proved the value of black troops in combat.”

going for “Fort Liberty” was a CS dodge, but dumping the name of this oath-breaker, traitor, slave owner & fighter to defend slavery, and really bad General was long over-due. Bragg was so hated by his troops for his excessive discipline & slaughterous frontal assault tactics that they twice attempted to assassinate the sucker, once through setting off an explosive device beneath his cot... which he somehow survived

most excellent, long overdue:

“FORT BRAGG, N.C (WNCN) – Fort Bragg was officially redesignated as Fort Liberty in a ceremony at the North Carolina military installation on Friday…

Fort Bragg, as it was previously known, had been named for North Carolina Confederate General Braxton Bragg, a slave-owner and a figure associated with the loss of key Civil War battles.”
