In science it is another expression for "case study". It is used a lot in Computer Science.

🐇 Want to learn more about the #science behind the Mountain Hare reference #genome? Researchers at @uniuef.bsky.social are using it to untangle the genetic impacts of #hybridisation and #adaptation.

Visualizing the Decline of Earth’s Ecosystems Critical ecosystems that sustain life on Earth have faced devastating declines over the past few centuries.

🌍 Nature is declining faster than ever. Since 1700:

🔹 Wetlands: -85% 🌊

🔹 Coral Reefs: -50% 🪸

🔹 Forests: -32% 🌳

🔹 Ecosystems: -47% overall

A graphic design featuring a polar bear standing on melting icebergs in the lower section of the image. The background is divided into three bold colors: yellow at the top, white in the middle, and red at the bottom. Large white and black text reads: “DEBUNKING 8 COMMON MYTHS ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE.” The UN Environment Programme logo is in the top right corner.

Climate myths are everywhere.

In this 🧵, we bust 8 of the most common ones. 👇

Debunking eight common myths about climate change Here’s a closer look at some of the most popular misconceptions around the climate crisis.

Misinformation fuels inaction.

Here’s a deeper look at these climate myths—and why they’re simply not true: www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

A meme is making fun of the common developer confusion around array indexing. A hopeful romantic programmer has left a note saying, "If you love me, meet me at the 1st table" for dating purposes. However, two tables are labeled "TABLE 00" and "TABLE 01", referencing how some programming languages start array indexes at 0 (like Python or JavaScript) while others start at 1 (like MATLAB or R). The punchline is that the developer might accidentally go to the wrong table due to their programming habits!

Developer decided to go on a date, but ...

I just read somewhere today: The day when "Wake me up before you go go" from Wham! was released, this day was closer to the end of WWII than today...

From the air we breathe to the water we drink to the soil that grows our food – humanity’s health depends on nature & biodiversity.

Let’s use the new year as an opportunity to reflect on this vital bond and the importance of making peace with nature.

Life is short. Make sure you spend as much time as possible arguing over operating systems or framework or gaming console with strangers online 🤣

Anyone else tonight?
