   From peteronyisi1 https://twitter.com/peteronyisi1 on Twitter: How did ATLAS achieve >95% good data quality efficiency during Run 2? Check out our new Data Quality paper: https://t.co/eCcL7Bmkvl (I will mention the tireless efforts of the paper editor, Emma Kuwertz, in putting it together!)

   I love it when math and physics work together. On a personal note: it was a paper by Parke that was the basis of my very first analysis in graduate school, in service of the then hunt for the Higgs particle at LEP. https://www.quantamagazine.org/neutrinos-lead-to-unexpected-discovery-in-basic-math-20191113/

   From Plutoliveshere https://twitter.com/Plutoliveshere on Twitter: Introducing ARROKOTH, my wacky, 2-headed KBO pal formerly known as MU69/Ultima Thule! He's just received his official name, proposed by the NH team who discovered him, & now accepted by the IAU. It's a Powhatan word meaning "sky." A reminder to all to keep looking upward!#Space https://twitter.com/Plutoliveshere/status/1194357211188752385/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/62207

   Wow! One moment it was grey and overcast outside; the next there was a fierce wind and rain suddenly pummeling us! When a front shows up, it really shows up!

    Since it is cloudy in Dallas today, we will all have to enjoy the Transit of Mercury from a live stream. On the bright side, today we are all real astronomers: we spent months waiting for our moment, only to be disappointed by clouds! https://mercurytransit.gsfc.nasa.gov/2019/

    From github https://twitter.com/github on Twitter: Python took the silver from Java this year, becoming the #2 most popular programming language on GitHub by repository contributors. C# and Shell climbed the list, too.

    "Fleeting moments of recognizable seasons" Fall in Texas is beautiful, but fleeting. This fall has been sandwiched between two freezes, the next one about to begin tonight. It is hard to recognize seasons any more, in the long sunrise of climate change. But there are still fleeting moments of a recognizable autumn. https://steve.cooleysekula.net/blog/2019/11/10/fleeting-moments-of-recognizable-seasons/ ( Feed URL: http://steve.cooleysekula.net/blog/feed/ )

    From SMUPhysics https://twitter.com/SMUPhysics on Twitter: We had been planning to hold a "Transit of Mercury" viewing event in the morning tomorrow, but that is cancelled as the forecast for tomorrow has only continued to get worse.

Expect cold, windy, and wet conditions with gusts up to 40 mph possible Monday afternoon and night. Some very light sleet is possible in the evening and early overnight hours, but no accumulation is expected. #txwx #ctxwx https://twitter.com/NWSFortWorth/status/1193645636714823680/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/62159

    From HEPfeickert https://twitter.com/HEPfeickert on Twitter: I freaking love LaTeX and it has empowered me to do a lot, especially in my graduate coursework days (every lecture, homework set, and even exam typeset). Though I realize Im a minority here and even I admit that Ive moved to Markdown KaTeX for most of my presentations now. https://twitter.com/choldgraf/status/1193316305211973633
