Today I learned about this!

It's the first accurate image of a black hole, created by astrophysicist Jean-Pierre Luminet in 1978, using an IBM 7040 computer with punch cards and plotting it out by hand with India ink.

A black and white image. A bunch of white dots form the accretion disk of the black hole, and some are visible above and below the event horizon due to gravitational lensing. There's even a ring to show the photon sphere that would be exceedingly close to the event horizon, where photons travel in an orbit around the black hole before ejecting off into space or getting lost below the event horizon. I would presume the values are inverted to make it look like white on black.

first impressions of the remarkable 2- amazing for note taking, sketching, and reading manga. file import and export works without cloud sync but i had to manually convert and process manga into pdf form to import them. only played with the remouse script (tablet input over ssh) for a minute but it works pretty well. blog post probably incoming once i get a bit more time with it

re: more uxncard madness

@d6 @neauoire i unironically already did this a couple years ago (and still use it as my daily driver email client), although with a 200 line crystal program doing the heavy lifting and just using varvara as a graphics toolkit. you could probably port the crystal backend to uxn11 in a day or 2 :p

i think im gonna table indie software dev for a while and focus on djing and illustration in my free time. part of it is that my computers and the software i use "just work" at this point and when im using my laptop for art i get the most joy out of it; the other part is that ideally id like to pivot out of this hellish profession before im forced to for not drinking the koolaid...
