The new high-level C++ API of the SuperNOVAS astrometry library is inching closer by the day. It will enhance SuperNOVAS with a brand new API that will be on par with astropy in terms of simplicity and elegance, only much-much faster. Stay tuned! #astrocode

When do we (in the US) start pretending that this is normal?
"Dear Norway, I want to let you know that it was only the promise of the Nobel Prize that kept me from being a raging lunatic. Since you (or the committee you don't control) denied me, I have no choice but to obliterate you and anyone on your side." -- The Orangenscheissfuehrer
The Orange Moron is clinically insane. There is no other explanation for the letter he wrote to Norway's government. It could be seen as childish and comic, but the reality of it is rather scary because of the power invested in him. Time for the 25th amendment? (for real this time...)

It is also available via Homebrew (from attipaci/pub). Fedora, EPEL, Debian linux packages are coming soon, as is the updated vcpkg distribution.

House Republicans are working hard to replace Obamacare with "Trump doesn't care", making healthcare unaffordable for millions, and a real hassle also. Get ready for browsing providers' price lists for hours before seeking urgent care, only to find you cannot afford any of it.

Tesla and Musk are betting on everyone wanting Humanoid robots folding their laundry. Apart from the fact that most people could not affort one, would you really want a creepy and strong robot lurking around at night? As much as I'm love tech, I don't think I could sleep...
SuperNOVAS 1.5.0 high-precision C/C++ astrometry library is released, with new functionality, improved portability (Windows, MacOS, FreeBSD...), and CMake support. It is now available through the vcpkg registry and Homebrew also. #astrocode smithsonian.github.io/SuperNOVAS/
It's barely October, for Christ's sake...
Apparently, I'm still in the top 1% of Java developers, which is surprising given how little Java I've been writing lately, mostly churning out C these days...
More good things are cooking for the SuperNOVAS astrometry library. The November release will add CMake build support, enabling MacOS, Windows, and FreeBSD builds. Plus new features, which make it more versatile and easier to use than ever. #astrocode

Bad English is the Lingua Franca of the world, lol. 🌍
It should be, but since it's based on an earlier software named NOVAS, it cannot be helped...
The SuperNOVAS C/C++ astrometry library just got another bug fix release (v.1.4.2). It updates the nutation models from the original IAU2000A to IAU2006 (a.k.a. IAU2000A_R06). Linux RPM and Debian packages are on their way also. #astrocode smithsonian.github.io/SuperNOVAS/
SuperNOVAS bug notice: The 1.4.0 and 1.4.1 releases contain a bug in the nutation model, resulting in typical errors at the 0.1 milliarcsecond level. A fix is readily available in the GitHub repo and the v1.4.2-rc1 release candidate also. Mea culpa. #astrocode github.com/Smithsonian/...

Fedora / EPEL (RPM) and Debian Linux packages have been submitted and will be available soon also. Stay tuned.
It's that time again, when the SuperNOVAS C/C++ astrometry package gets a release... v1.4.1 is out with Makefile fixes, and improved documentation. SuperNOVAS is there for you when you need astrometry that is both very fast and very precise. #astrocode smithsonian.github.io/SuperNOVAS/
My dream job awaits on LinkedIn. I could be a cart attendant (wow!) at Walmart, and share the dream with the numerous other Caltech alumni who already work there. I wonder if they are cart attendants too...

Do astrometry calculations for thousands/millions/billions of stars or galaxies taking too long? Try SuperNOVAS. It's super precise AND up to 40000 times faster than astropy. #astrocode github.com/Smithsonian/...
The SuperNOVAS 1.4.0 C/C++ astrometry library is now also available for RPM-based Linux distros. It can be used to calculate astrometric positions with high (sub-uas) precision, simply and orders of magnitude faster than astropy. #astrocode
