For Android users, all of these images can also be browsed via my unofficial app: MarsFeed! A lot of sweat and tears have gone into making it - and I am personally super proud of it! It’s a lot easier to use (and much faster) than the official NASA website.

Not just you! I’m looking for the link as well, and looks like it’s just an image.

I think I’ve learned to get less attached to opinionated terminology in code and database design because I see it happen all the time where the usage of the value/field/thing can evolve naturally over time as the business needs evolve. And refactoring field names (as an example) from UI to database is often a painful exercise, not without significant regression risks. (Depending on the size and complexity of your systems, of course)

So while I totally agree with you and others that ideally naming would be consistent throughout, my real world experience with the issue has taught me that this isn’t the hill I die on.

My 2 cents from 10 years experience in the industry.

THIS is cool!! Too bad the microphones weren’t recording too! (Are they even still functional?)

100% agreed! Science is so cool!

Yeah, very thorough answer - thank you! Super interesting situation. Fingers crossed!

Oh awesome! That’s great to hear! I’m experimenting with the idea of offloading this to an off-device process so that all users can have consistent results regardless of their devices. Unfortunately, that cloud infrastructure is already costing me a decent amount of money… So gotta figure out how to solve that problem as well (without annoying users too much with cost or ads)

😄

Am I correct in remembering that you’ve tried that feature in the past, and it didn’t work on your device?

That’s an oddly cryptic post from the NASA team, no? Maybe I missed an explanation somewhere about what exactly “localization” means in this context.

This is one of those instances where the “stitch-panorama” feature that I’m experimenting with in my Mars Feed app really produces some cool results! (I also did some light editing in Google Photos before uploading this)

I’m surprised to see that they risked driving through such significantly rocky terrain! I’m going to have to check in on any close-ups of the wheels to see if any noticeable damage occurred!

Interesting - my company largely maxing out at Java 9, I often forget about how far Java has come now that it’s working on v21 😳

Same here. I’m a Tech Lead right now, but I still live in the code. I see myself as on-trajectory to Architect. I have no direct-reports or any of the responsibilities they go with direct-reports. That role is called a Team Lead at my company (which is on-trajectory for management). I stay at from that stuff like the plague 🤮

I am so incredibly intrigued by this! This might sound like a dumb question, but are there any examples of what this looks like hosted on GitHub? My employer mandates GitHub as a standardized location for enterprise code. So I’m curious if there’s a way to live in both worlds at once and not go mad.

Is it worth considering Spring (and/or Spring Boot) as its own slice? I could see arguments for and against it… Any fellow Java devs have strong feelings one way or another?

Got it! 🎉

You’re right! I see that now! I’m trying to join it, but it’s not showing up from my home instance. (Federated newbie, here). I’ll figure it out eventually 🙃

Thanks!

Ok, I’m gonna do it. I can already hear the banter 🫣
