What is GLASS?

GLASS is tough and often stands guard within a frame,

Like as a window, or fronting a picture,

Or focussing our gaze, when our eyes are not the same.

And I often see through you, unless disguised by your coating,

Put on to dull your amorphous transparent mixture,

Of soda, silica, limestone and ‘fancier’ bits, you often say when gloating.

And it is obsidian to say that you can’t be naturally found,

A universal secret without human intervention.

And your boast about rapid cooling makes my heart pound,

For when you were made, you were just too hot to handle,

Making parched lungs wait, for when you were of malleable intention,

Else creating such strange objects, as if made by a mischievous vandal.

Yet, I am overwhelmed by the stresses that you quietly hide

Within your new shape or moulded design,

Made whilst gooey like molten plastic, where no animal can abide.

Which makes for great fun when a glass animal is ‘born’

And you see its wonders in detail and colours and lines

Made by us humans, as we’ve been doing since time’s early dawn.

As an art, you are an object of delight in many ways,

Mimicking nature, abstract designs and useful objects to name a few.

Modern buildings tease out new conceptual uses for your display,

Fish swim within your bounds, whilst plants bathe in wind-less sunshine.

You also protect and make for easy cleaning – for us to enjoy a safer view

From the sky, or on the water, where we can watch the world as we dine.

Broken items can be accidental, and there is none more dangerous than glass,

With your warped sharp edges and shards that can stick you like a pin.

But no blame to you, as QA have given you a solid ‘pass’.

Your character can even be changed, by material science at its best,

To make you stronger, withstand heat and shock, and be made ultra-thin.

But I wish that people knew you better,

As you hide your magical form . . . when you are squeaky clean.

Very cool:

if you're using #VSCode and you program in :ruby: @ruby, :crystal: @CrystalLanguage or 🐍 @Python, then you might want to use @ninoseki's #vscode_extension Mogami, which shows the latest dependencies in #Gemfile, #shards and #requirements_txt.

Keep in mind that #crystalshard checks are only working on #github repos for now though!

salad io evidently is not paying out what it was - the poverty rig won't even pay for your elec usage but just the same i sort of like the biz model - sharding out ai jobs to people with gpu mini farms has a future - we will probably see many different forms but salad has been around for a while too so it may be a while until we see alternatives #shards

#glass #shards

I occasionally find a broken piece of interesting looking glass in my flowerbed, which dug by rats. I think it’s century old. And I treasure it thinking it’s a gift from the rats. 😂🥰❣️💎🐀✨

A lot of #anime appears to revolve around tropes related to breaking up #energy into #shards and spreading those shards around the place to keep them #decentralised, ensuring no single person gets all energy and #power.

With this sort of #conditioning its not surprising that #millenials understand bitcoin.

Did you create too many shards and you want to change this situation?🙇🏻

In our #tutorial, we illustrate how to decrease the number of #shards in your #cluster without introducing #data loss ⬇️
