I believe it's a reference to President Roosevelt's ["Fireside chats"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fireside_chats) radio addresses during the 30's-40's

Seems to be any topic mentioning libera chat.

I tend to feel the same way but then again I have a fair amount of information that can show up in my prompt, the difference however being that it is all black against a black background so the only time I see it is if I highlight a line. Works out well for having an information dense prompt but keeping the distractions and noise lower.

Neat little side fact, the author of this blog has actually been doing consulting for that show :D He's even got several blog posts about it

Pretty sure VxWorks is still used today for a lot of spacecraft; Curiosity[^1] and at least at one point the SpaceX Dragon capsule[^2] it looks like.

This is nice and everything, but the one thing that I don't like so far is that getting to the list of labels isn't just a sidebar away anymore but instead a whole tab change. I do see that you can filter by label through the filter textbox, but that isn't quiet the same for someone like me who uses the colors more than the name of the label.

Overall, looks nice though. Curious to hear what power uses think of it.

Hey there! Try clicking on the labels within the issues list—they are linked up to quickly adjust your search without typing. Not quite the same, but hopefully it helps!

Oooh, that definitely helps a fair bit. I think the label dropdown in the panel head is nice and what I'll end up using the most often. Still have to find all the little changes hidden around this :D

So I've been porting part of our internal analytics system at work over to using polymer and I have to say: damn. It's nice to have and being able to make custom reusable elements that can expose a preset functionality and a powerful (if you write it that way) api is pretty nice. Overall I'm pretty happy with it, but can't really speak for how usable outside of our little sphere it is.

We haven't had any issues with speed or page performance and only target chrome however.

Damn, rethink won't stop getting better and better! I'm looking forward to getting to use the changefeeds, as I've currently got a redis list that I use to get notified of changes to rethinkdb, which is fine but just another cog in the system to debug.

Seriously guys, thanks for the great product and awesome database experience (PyRethinkORM author here).

Thanks for PyRethinkORM! I haven't used it yet, but really looking forward to taking it for a spin with Django in a few weeks. We'd love to feature it in our docs when we get through a few more immediate issues.

Awesome! Let me know how it goes and feel free to file as many bugs and issues as you can. I've been saying that I'm going to be releasing v1 soon but school and summer internships have been getting in the way of that, but you might want to take a look at the `dev` branch it is much better than the current v0.3 thats on PyPi, imo.

It does have batteries on board however after its long life they appear to be dead.[1]

According to that article, it also lost power briefly for the same reason during a set of maneuvers that were used to repurpose it decades ago, so it's not the first time this problem has come up either.

But that was near the beginning of its life, so the batteries would have worked.

I love how you have to attend an hour long class and file a form to get an npr email address :) It's interesting to see the difference between whats portrayed in the memo and what today is like where the internet is fairly common place and accepted.
