If someone had to post illegally obtained materials concerning their Supreme Court nominee, they'd be up in arms about how Twitter and Facebook are allowing distribution of illegal materials therefore SECTION 230. I would have censored it all the same and shadow banned all conservatard accounts for contributing in the spread of bull shit.

NY Post wants to distribute feces? Let them do it on their own site (freedom of the feces throwing). Fuck you NYPost for spreading misinformation and this faux outrage. Dum...

Apparently arch bridges are durable, cheap and simple structurally and a deliberate choice of many different types of load bearing structures. I never thought much about an arch in a bridge until today. Never would think that it mattered much and was more design/fashion rather than trade off against the forces of the earth.

Curiosity only arose because I wondered why x bridge has an arch which looks...

Well, some quotes from various sources where researchers pointed out asymptomatic people are not getting off scot-free.

“It's a very big portion of people, and although they are silent without symptoms, internally, they are taking hits in there inside their body so they don't even know it,” says Eric Topol, MD, the founder and director of the Scripps Translational Research Institute in La Jolla, CA.

Researchers who have scanned the hearts and lungs of people who tested positive for COVID-19, but never...

GMail used to be good with basic shit, but the recent bugs have been unbelievable.

I press delete on an email and it still shows up on the list of emails. Have to refresh the page 🙄.

I read an email and then want to close the window and it asks to confirm to close the window and lose changes? 🤪

Gmail was better as an experiment apparently.

There's evidence that some people experience the long term effects of COVID. Previous discovered Coronaviruses that cause SARS and MERS also caused long term effects, so it is not surprising. I'd recommend watching this video is particular as John Campbell discusses some of the observed effects during post COVID.

Imagine losing your sense of taste and smell for the long term. 😢 All you had to do to prevent that was wear a mask.

I personally wonder if SARS-COV2 hides itself in the body and re appears from time...

You just can't beat this feature.

use ::phf::{Map, phf_map};

static MAP: Map<char, &'static str> = phf_map! {
    'a' => "apple",
    'b' => "bear",
    'c' => "cat",
};

Makes it so easy to create a very fast constant static hashmap at build time. You just can't beat it.. you just can't.

Ha, so it takes threatening and plotting against government officials to get Facebook to change its policies rather than advertisers taking away their money along with social protests. Shitty company leadership.

Glad I don't have FB nor will I ever integrate it.

Anyone heard of any other language where there are "module" specs? You know specs for how your library will be bundled up in order to expose your library for consumption.

AMD, CJS, UMD, ESM, SystemJS, GGJS, HYZM and whatever acronyms out there

Why the fk do these things exist? Oh right, because Javascript left the idea of library importing out. It wasn't conceivable that people would need to do this in the browser until they did. I guess other language designers figured people share code and that company fron...

I will look into seeing if I can slowly get back to some outdoor hobbies as well as pick up some old indoor hobbies even though COVID is still around. I guess it is not as bad here though, but it doesn't mean that I want to get into activities that would screw me over putting me into contact with possibly asymptomatic people.

This year: Keyboard (piano music). I'm gonna buy a keyboard in the next few months. This will mark what... my second time buying one. First one was in university.

Next year: Archery, Kay...

I get these Digg emails and one with this link stood out: https://tribunecontentagency.com/article/ask-amy-personal-trainer-needs-some-personal-training

- Personal trainer fucks married woman and husband finds out. Trainer fights with husband (knocks him out) and gets fired (honest reason for firing was unprofessional behavior). How'd the husband find out? Hmmm. He ain't getting his job back, he made poor judgement and did it with one married woman so what stops the next encounter and subsequent trouble?

Rela...
