I think I once read that when the metric system was first defined during the French Revolution, they also tried to use a decimal system for time, but that was quickly abandoned.

Impressive chart !
Is there a full list of novels in this timeline ?
I found Memory Beta First Splinter novels timeline, but it does not have all the novels. In particular, I can’t find either “Collateral Damage” or “Time To” in the list…
Thank you for the detailed and insightful answer. I’ll bookmark it to decide on the next books to read.
First, the Relaunch Treklit novelverse is a separate continuity from the new television series. I personally prefer a lot of the choices of major political arcs in the Relaunch timeline better than the new shows. Interestingly, the last season of Picard started to bring in some parallels from the books, despite being a very different future for Picard himself.
OK good to know. So I can continue forward and not get spoilt. Does it mean that they have stopped writing for this timeline, now that the new shows are out ?
Una McCormack has a few more Cardassia focused books. If you haven’t read them all yet, I’d suggest those given your preference for her book in the Fall. The book with Dr Pulaski is great and important but should be read after the Bashir S31 sequence if you’re going to do that.
You mean Enigma Tales, and Neverending Sacrifice, or are there others ?
the Voyager books advanced much more slowly through the timeline. I found the Christie Golden books exasperating (mainly due to the constraints out in her by the IP holder). When Kirsten Beyer took over and started the Full Circle sequence she was given freedom to fix many issues. It’s a great set of return to the Delta Quadrant books. Some recommend just starting with ‘Full Circle’ and going forward from there. Beyer takes about the first half of that book catching you up and moving things forward.
As a matter of fact, I remember reading some of the earliest of those Voyager books (paper version). But it is so long ago that I could as well reread them now. What’s “IP holder” ?
Fascinating. I heard something similar with particle pollution in big cities.
Keep in mind that superconductors have a critical current below which you have to be if you want to stay in the superconductive states. So for a superconductor to be useful for energy transport, this current has to not be tiny. I haven’t had the time to read their paper so I don’t know the value of the critical current. Also if for some reason the current suddenly goes beyond the critical current, the wire will heat suddenly, with possible damage…
My understanding is that they also need low thermal noise to ensure pure states. They cool much below the superconduction threshold temperature (eg typically 20 mK). So I am not sure that this would be useful for quantum computers at the moment. Magnetic field productions such as that in MRI requires high current, so that depends on the maximum current that this material can sustain before that breaks superconductivity. So it could perhaps turn out useful or totally useless. Hard to say at the moment.
I like the Password for Nextcloud app. I self-host mine, but I think there might be Nextcloud instances that you can access. It is encrypted, and has an app for smartphones.
Yes ! This would also be useful on Mastodon.
Do we know that this is the one and only domain that they will use when and if they actually enable federation ?
How do you forward Whatsapp to matrix? Is it two-way?
Very interesting read. Thanks for sharing. I’m curious: have you considered [matrix] nowadays?
I am a scientist myself, and I know what the HCERES says about his institute, and also that his institute no longer had support of the CNRS, which is telling considering that the CNRS only very rarely make such moves, as well as editors no longer accepting his papers leading him to create his own self serving journals. My issues with him are his lack of scientific rigor and lack of scientific ethics. Unfortunately, he’s staining the community as a whole, even though he lost support of several scientific institutions long before the Covid.
This guy is a shame for us all, French academics… sorry World, please know we’re not all frauds….
You can use a third hand, typically like this: https://befr.rs-online.com/web/p/soldering-accessories/1466439
From my limited experience, make sure the things you want to solder are mechanically held together. And heat the pieces you want to solder, and use them to melt the tin. Never melt the tin directly on the iron.
The not so tech savvy family members have trouble with e2e though. They always have problems with device somehow not properly authorized, and some encrypted rooms accessible from the computer but not from the phone. I usually solve it for them regularly, but they still can’t do it by themselves. So I prefer to keep the rooms unencrypted (we are not sharing state secrets anyway), but self-hosted (I don’t want to give away family pictures to big tech companies).
I’ve never bothered to try alternatives to Element. Are they worth trying ?
And naturally, matrix is federated so you can join rooms of any other instance.
Extinguish that !
