19. Озеро Дынкенгдаомутканен. Труднопроизносимые названия пошли от коренного населения. В озеро впадает река Омутканен, а вытекает Дынкенгда.

19. Lake Dynkengdaomutkanen. The unpronounceable names came from the indigenous population. The Omutkanen River flows into the lake, and Dynkengda flows out.

Via APOD: 2023 November 12 – Gibbous Moon beyond Swedish Mountain:

APOD explanation

Explanation: This is a gibbous Moon. More Earthlings are familiar with a full moon, when the entire face of Luna is lit by the Sun, and a crescent moon, when only a sliver of the Moon's face is lit. When more than half of the Moon is illuminated, though, but still short of full illumination, the phase is called gibbous. Rarely seen in television and movies, gibbous moons are quite common in the actual night sky. The featured image was taken in Jämtland, Sweden near the end of 2018 October. That gibbous moon turned, in a few days, into a crescent moon, and then a new moon, then back to a crescent, and a few days past that, back to gibbous. Setting up to capture a picturesque gibbous moonscape, the photographer was quite surprised to find an airplane, surely well in the foreground, appearing to fly past it.

 
From the Instagram post:

Instagram description:

Today NASA is running my Lunar flyby photo as APOD - @astronomypicturesdaily This is my 25th APOD and it's always such an honor to get published by NASA. The photo was taken back in October 2018 during a snow storm, as I was about to take the photo I could see the airplane coming in from the left and took a couple of shots just in case, didn't think much of it since my main goal was to get the moon while it was setting. Later it turned out this shot was my favorite among the ones I took.

Mario Zechner discovers anti-competitive illegal grocery pricing practices in Austria (mastodon.gamedev.place)
 

Via siderea | The Austrian Grocery Price Comparison Website Story [tech, law, Austria]:

The following is magnificent, and I commend it to you.

Over on Mastodon, programmer Mario Zechner gives a first person account of how his exasperation with his government's (Austria) corruption and ineptitude led to him preempting a government web development boondoggle, and subsequently unearthing a whole world of anti-competitive illegal grocery pricing and precipitating federal antitrust action. A heartwarming story of screenscraping, data science, and international amity.
