The moon is always half a degree wide. To take that pic, just walk away from the dish until it's also half a degree wide. Then use a tele-objectif to take the pic. There's no trick, just planning and a good lens.

Programmer 1: spend three days reading and doodling before even touching the keyboard, his code works. Programmer 2: pushes ten commits to the repo each day, gets behind schedule, some features are missing, there are bugs, a team works on the bugs, one month later the code is slow and weird but it doesn't crash anymore. Management thinks that Programmer 1 is a slacker and had an easy task, while Programmer 2 put a lot of effort and perseverance on a task that was 'obviously' difficult. In truth, Programmer 1 was thinking and designing, while Programmer 2 is shit. Programmer 2 still gets a raise.

I like that it's grounded. Also there's probably a fuse in that plug, as is common in the UK. Safety first.

I remember programming Thomson's MO5 computers in school. I already had my Master's when MSN became a thing.

Beyond that it's homeopathy and therefore good for you. Nah, seriously, that number looks like it was pulled out of nowhere.
