"We show that these objects are redder and have larger proper motions than typical USNO objects." -- Interesting, not sure what that'd imply.
"A particular focus is given to USNO objects that have several detections before vanishing" -- implies that these at least some of these objects are not just detector glitches or scratches or similar, although "Visual checks confirm that indeed the most interesting cases, about 100, are mostly one-time detections in the red band."
"In a separate paper by K. Pelckmans et al. (2019, in preparation). we propose a new tool for handling a large number of images using methods of machine learning." (since people were talking about ML in astronomy)
* identifying characters that won't actually print [white text; zero-size font; beneath another layer; not in printable space]. Once this lead to every letter aappppeeaarriinngg ttwwiiccee..
* text in fonts where a != aa [leaving the text as a complicated substitution cypher; caused by font embedding for only the characters in the document]
* text in images
* no spaces: have to infer from gaps in letters
And these are generated by a whole host of different software with different assumptions, and you never know if there's something else you're missing.
Written in the aftermath of Duke Nukem Forever finally being canned, twelve years after being announced. (It did finally ship, to a poor reception)
I see the rotation when there's the great big opaque cylinder in the middle of it, but it doesn't last after the cylinder is removed -- it reverts to explody fish.
I don't expect to have to click through to Github to get a summary of what your project's about. Consider putting some of the text from your readme onto the main project page, it's good copy and I think wants to be front and centre.
I went to the docs first to try to find this, but bounced off the terse three word descriptions and lists of verbs.
Good luck with the project!

"Finally, new technologies have emerged to make a decentralized approach more viable. Blockchain points to a series of decentralized solutions for open and durable hosting, governance, and even monetization. Much work to be done, but the fundamentals are there."
"The Political Achievements of the Earl of Dalkeith was a political pamphlet that was published and circulated in Edinburgh during the 1880 United Kingdom general election. It was well presented but inside the neatly printed cover there were just thirty-two blank pages, making it an early empty book."
"The 32 blank pages of the pamphlet have been digitised by the LSE Library."
One Troy pound (373g) [of silver] divided into 240 pennies (making a penny about 1.55g). Exactly what a shilling is varies, between 4 and 6 pennies. [ https://regia.org/research/misc/costs.htm ]
Payoff table: Both swerve: both lose face Neither swerve: both die They swerve, you don't: you gain face, they lose it You swerve, they don't: you lose face, they gain it
So: you make it abundantly clear that you can't control your car, even if you wanted to. Tear out the steering wheel, or lash it down and jump onto the roof of the car. Now it changes your opponents options to:
Swerve: lose face Don't: die.
(It's a trolley-problem-like scenario, don't ask too many questions about the practicalities of tearing out the steering wheel)
Other potential safety precautions involve bringing a polka-patterned snake-catching device: specifically, an ASP.NET
Clarifications: The four points must be distinct. That is, no point is allowed to be superimposed on another point.
Sure, it'll never be a significant source of energy [if we plastered literally the entire earth's surface with them at maximum theoretical efficiency, we'd provide 1% of our electricity consumption].
But the sheer concept of "you know what, lets generate energy from THE VOID OF SPACE, the ABSENCE OF HEAT" is deeply entertaining.
Teacher had password written on the BACK of the clipboard they carried around everywhere.
Said teacher's password was 'qwerty'.
(Yes, it worked)
Other than the random elements, there's one exception: 11001 -> 0, which directly leads to a nice downward branching structure.
> With the Amazon Basics keyboard I’ve seen as high as a 6 key rollover when pressing spui<space>c
"As high as" implies that you've also seen lower. Which isn't the rollover of the keyboard.
My crappy two-key rollover (QWA fails) keyboard supports that specific keystroke combination.
Hangman:
"REH" is not an english word, "LAMA" should be spelled LLAMA "FAULT" is the only non-animal.
Maze: Typo: "comming" should be "coming"
