easy books teach you nothing, they just relabel what you already know

An absolutely amazing article about how GPS works. It's a great achievement to visually explain things so well on the web. (most likely needs a modern browser) https://ciechanow.ski/gps/

The last design you'll ever make - https://interactionmagic.com/Design-for-repair
I feel like a broken record, but the #Tonga explosion passed again last night over the Mediterranean and, although softened, it's still well recognizable!
You can see all three events on the plot.
#Tonga volcano explosion reloaded: 36h and another tour around the Earth later the pressure wave reappeared in Sardinia today. Yeah, 36h X 1100km/h = 40.000km

Find out how good you are at placing historical events in the right order with this cool new game based on Wikidata's data:

This is awesome!
Tonga is 16.000km away from Sardinia, 24.000 away going "the long way". So the blast, traveling at 1100km/h, lasted ~7 hours. And towards the end, the wave front was surely coming from the South direction.
Two barometers in Sardinia 50km apart (N-S) detect the first blast with ~2 minutes of delay: the wave front came first from the North-NW direction.
