Hi everyone!
What are your thoughts about Solana? Is it a good idea and product? Will it revolutionise the web?
As far as I understand, it’s mostly for games. Do I miss something? Is it an alternative to Ethereum?

For dealing with Flexible Image Transport System (FITS) files, both languages have dedicated packages: Astropy for Python and FITSIO for Julia.
I prefer Astropy personally, but here are some things to consider.
1. Libraries and Tools: Python's Astropy is a mature and comprehensive library with extensive community support, and it provides a broad range of astronomy-related functionalities, not limited to just FITS file manipulation. On the other hand, Julia's FITSIO is more specific, primarily focused on reading and writing FITS files. Its scope is narrower than Astropy, but it is well-optimized for its purpose.
2. Performance: Julia, as a language, tends to have better performance than Python due to its JIT compilation feature. This could lead to better performance in data-intensive tasks such as handling large FITS files.
3. Community and Support: Python has a larger user base and more extensive community support than Julia, especially in the field of astronomy. This means that it may be easier to find resources, tutorials, and solutions to potential issues in Python than in Julia.
Since I used Astropy, I wrote a guide for you with some common commands I use:

Thank you for your detailed answer! I know Python’s AstroPy- I used it. However, I wanted to try out Julia and was wondering whether it’s as easy as it was in Python. Guess it isn’t. Haha
I can’t help but wonder-will nostr degenerate the same as the Internet now is or will it flourish? 🤔
We clearly live in an age of wonders. 😉
Hi, are there any fellow astronomers & astrophysicists (and any other #nostriches ) who use Julia to manipulate FITS files? Is it more difficult than it is in Python? Got some questions…

Keeping fingers crossed! Good luck mate!
Perhaps. I never really got into tweeting, therefore I wasn’t that active there. I hope nostr will be a better place!
Sorry, but I might be just biased a bit. For me, Twitter is a place where people offend each other and generally, when you say “Twitter” I think “woke and anger”. Dunno if it makes sense.
Looks quite nice! Share your progress if possible please. 😉
I see… I’m sorry for your experiences.
If you own Android phone, did you consider Electrum?
Anyway, thank you for your answer? 🫡
Thanks mate! 😉
Thank you for your answer. However, I personally would rather avoid using wallets on exchanges, therefore I wouldn’t recommend to people I try to onboard.
Thank you for recommendation, will definitely check it!
I’ve heard about this wallet. Will it be suitable for beginners though?
