Unfortunately, they are computer-generated. If the orientation of the jet is correct, it cannot be seen to move that fast from Earth. You could see the jet apparently approaching us at a superluminal speed it it were (a) pointed almost directly at Earth, and (b) moving very close to the speed of light.

Quote: The EHT captured photons trapped in orbit around the black hole, swirling around at near the speed of light, creating a bright ring around it.
Well this is wrong. Photons always travel at the speed of light, not near the speed of light. I think she means ions of gas trapped in orbit around the black hole.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Developers wish they could launch new features quickly to keep up with the competition, but bug hunting, small teams and budget limitations are getting in the way of innovation. Just ship it - what's the worst that could happen?
I'm just going to go out on a limb here and guess that Rollbar can sell you something to fix this problem?

Does it begin with "M" and end with "r" or "t", depending on the depth of the middle tiers?

EDIT:
After reading your message below a small clarification... I actually agree with you in big part of what you say. I personally am very self critic, but the joke on management was an easy one (and they do have something to do in this topic too)

39% spent on the giant piles of legacy code and frameworks the app was cobbled together with ... that no one dares rewrite.

It's always entertaining, in a sad, depressing way, how programmers point the fingers at things like management (well, ok, there's good reason for that), bugs, team size, budgets, etc., rather than pointing the finger at themselves: "wow, maybe I'm better suited as a sanitation engineer."
Granted, there is validity to budgets, team size, dealing with legacy code, etc., but at the end of the day, one's success, and having the time to be innovative, actually falls on me. Not 100%, but a 51% owning stock, often enough.
And one more point. I actually rarely experience developers that have any interest in being innovative. They pretty much just see the job as a way to pay the bills.

Yup, not much change for fArseBook, or any other tech megacorp already spending hundreds of millions of dollars on a mix of artificial idiocy and slave labor to try and delete crap posted by ![Sunshine | [little ray of sunshine]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/sunshine.gif) s; but that will freeze out anyone not able to spend equally as much thus securing their monopolies.

I’ve seen a lot of buzz recently about software developers wanting to form unions. Workers of the world! Compile!
Yeah, a couple of naughty words. Apologies in advance, but I figured it was worth adding to the "let's start a discussion" pile. (Or any other pile you'd care to shovel it onto)

Unions are like everything... they have pros and cons.
I work for a company under with an unionized contract, I am happy because it gives a lot of security and a lot of social components, but it slows down a lot the personal development and adds a lot of unneeded burocracy to many things.
But for me in this moment of my life... I am happy to have it.

If the union stayed within the bounds of ensuring proper working conditions and equitable pay, it sounds like a good idea. Historically that's not what happens when unions become prominent in an industry. They become yet another layer in the hierarchy between the work needing to be done and those who actually do the work.
