The International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems (IERS) website is currently down, without explanation. It provides data needed for precision Earth-based astrometry, such as for the SuperNOVAS C/C++ library. Let's hope it comes back online soon... #astronomy

It is easy to mock Europe, with its unsustainable welfare systems and long holidays. Yet in this age of radical uncertainty, its softer, more consensual approach to work and politics may prove useful

Why strongmen are wrong to loathe Europe

The leaders of America, China and Russia scorn consensual politics. That is a mistake

The verdict of Google's AI search on the SuperNOVAS C/C++ astrometry library. It sounds about right... ;-) #astrocode

The SuperNOVAS library introduces its C++API, bringing its high-precision astrometry into the modern era, and providing an intuitive interface that is on par with astropy. Check it out the first preview today. The finalized release is expected in May. #astrocode github.com/Sigmyne/Supe...

The armed and untrained racist vigilantes of ICE doing airport security... Agents with no background checks... What could possibly go wrong?

The new high-level C++ API of the SuperNOVAS astrometry library is inching closer by the day. It will enhance SuperNOVAS with a brand new API that will be on par with astropy in terms of simplicity and elegance, only much-much faster. Stay tuned! #astrocode github.com/Sigmyne/Supe...

When do we (in the US) start pretending that this is normal?

"Dear Norway, I want to let you know that it was only the promise of the Nobel Prize that kept me from being a raging lunatic. Since you (or the committee you don't control) denied me, I have no choice but to obliterate you and anyone on your side." -- The Orangenscheissfuehrer

The Orange Moron is clinically insane. There is no other explanation for the letter he wrote to Norway's government. It could be seen as childish and comic, but the reality of it is rather scary because of the power invested in him. Time for the 25th amendment? (for real this time...)

For the sake of greater transparency, ICE should be renamed to Gestapo...

Of course it was about the oil all along...

SuperNOVAS v1.5.1 bug fix release is out today. SuperNOVAS is a fast, high-precision C/C++ astrometry library for professionals an amateur astronomers alike. Use it to take your astronomy code to the next level. #astrocode smithsonian.github.io/SuperNOVAS/

House Republicans are working hard to replace Obamacare with "Trump doesn't care", making healthcare unaffordable for millions, and a real hassle also. Get ready for browsing providers' price lists for hours before seeking urgent care, only to find you cannot afford any of it.

Are cryptocurrencies trending towards their intrinsic value of 0?

Tesla and Musk are betting on everyone wanting Humanoid robots folding their laundry. Apart from the fact that most people could not affort one, would you really want a creepy and strong robot lurking around at night? As much as I'm love tech, I don't think I could sleep...

SuperNOVAS 1.5.0 high-precision C/C++ astrometry library is released, with new functionality, improved portability (Windows, MacOS, FreeBSD...), and CMake support. It is now available through the vcpkg registry and Homebrew also. #astrocode smithsonian.github.io/SuperNOVAS/

It's barely October, for Christ's sake...

Apparently, I'm still in the top 1% of Java developers, which is surprising given how little Java I've been writing lately, mostly churning out C these days...

More good things are cooking for the SuperNOVAS astrometry library. The November release will add CMake build support, enabling MacOS, Windows, and FreeBSD builds. Plus new features, which make it more versatile and easier to use than ever. #astrocode github.com/Smithsonian/...
