How did I not know about Text Fragment linking before? It's amazing! (Although it is not on Firefox yet.) https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2023/02/page-numbers-arent-the-answer/#:~:text=That%27s%20OK%21 #webdev #html
Clocks go forward tonight in the #uk from UTC to BST. It's all well planned in the uk, but some other timezones have horror stories: https://codeofmatt.com/on-the-timing-of-time-zone-changes/

Gordon Moore was not only the co-founder of Intel and the namesake for Moore's law, the claim that every two years the number of components on a chip double, he was also, together with his wife Betty Moore, one of the donors who made Wikidata possible. Gordon and Betty Moore were known for their philanthropy. Gordon Moore died today at the age of 94.
Thank you for enabling us to make Wikidata happen.

I'm really enjoying this episode because Melvin Bragg is so clearly following a set of notes to keep up with the mathematicians, which is very different from an episode about English Literature. It's not quite in the "why are you physicists so keen on rubber sheets" area, but it's close

The IPCC AR6 Synthesis Report released today. Here are the key takeaways and figures.
First, climate change has already caused widespread and substantial losses to almost every aspect of human life on this planet, and the impacts on future generations depend on the choices we make NOW.

Ghost Horse Bag by Simon Monk. It's not a real object. It's not a photograph. It's a painting. The holes in the board are also painted. From a set of paintings which need to be seen to be believed. On at the Beecroft in #Southend until the end of May. https://www.southendmuseums.co.uk/exhibitions/Jennie-Sharman-Cox-and-Simon-Monk---Double-Take #art
