The spacecraft was the last of five orbiters ever built and the most advanced. After a long wait, the public will soon be able to view it in all its glory inside its purpose-built permanent display building. Endeavour is the centerpiece of The Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center. It is a 200,000-square-foot expansion of the museum and will be ‘the only place in the world to see a complete, authentic space shuttle system, displayed in a 20-story launch position,’ CSC said in a media release on Wednesday.” https://www.twz.com/news-features/space-shuttle-endeavour-looks-absolutely-incredible-in-all-its-full-stack-glory @jalefkowit@hachyderm.io I need to take a road trip.

When a request comes in, your PHP source is handed to an AI that reads it, runs it in its head, makes up whatever it needs to (the database, the clock, the network, the truth), and hands back the HTTP response it reckons the code would have produced. It is not deterministic. It is not cheap. It is not correct. It is, however, very vibe.” -- @mnapoli@phpc.social https://github.com/mnapoli/vibephp @jalefkowit@hachyderm.io That's amazing.
