Every year I try to see what I can do for my blog. This year, I decided not to change the layout. I think the layout is simple enough.

Instead, I updated the font to use Inter and updated infrastructure. There are some kinks to work out.

Styling and Font

The inter font (https://rsms.me/inter/) is a very legible and dynamic font. I intend to use this on all my web properties. It just makes sense for the eyes.

- Another legible and easy on the eyes font is called Lexend (https://www.lexend.com/), which I could sw...

1. A proposed definition: from Wikipedia
   
2. 
   
3. a decline in real GDP exceeding 10%, or
4. a recession lasting 2 or more years.

Seeing lots of closures and the US government prop up businesses that would otherwise declare bankruptcy makes me wonder how long the recession is going to last.

USA has given up on controlling the spread given all the state re-openings. States saw numbers were declining economically, so screw it. The number of SARS COV2 cases did not decrease significantly enough to justify any re-openings. That'...

So why so many Confederate monuments? https://www.history.com/news/how-the-u-s-got-so-many-confederate-monuments

Never thought about it until the toppling of theses statues. It made me wonder why so many statues at all. The Confederacy only lasted 4-5 years. If the Confederacy can have a legacy that spans after losing a critical war, then what makes it that their practices don't influence the future when there was tolerance to it all in the name of FREE SPEECH? Their monuments should have been banned at the ...

Never really thought about master/slave terms until it was brought up during one of the Uberversity for nUbers. Course teacher talked about how some teams were trying to pick names for these two terms. Some terms were Queen / Princess, Leader / Follower and Primary / Replica.

I thought it was inconsequential, but I figured I would avoid domineering terms in whatever I made. Master / Slave isn't helpful abstraction or naming wise anyway. It is a big big meh from me. I like the terms leader, follower since fol...

If their services are banned over there, why allow any China based accounts at all? One should expect most accounts from there to be fake garbage accounts where no money is made relative to the garbage they force you to store and track.

Question is if the processor and co. should be in the cloud, in a separate console or in the controller? 😎

Nintendo should do it.

What were the crimes again?

All lives matter alright, uh huh.

One case in point. Just outright deletion as if it never happened? This is a terrible way to retract information especially from the government. The tools needed for mannaging information is lacking. That's the big problem with Social Media platforms.

They started from making it simple for an ordinary user to make a post and essentially stayed that way as they grew while people used it for other ...

The more, I feel like bringing my own social media product to the world. It is insane how bad information is spread with no good avenue on policing this shit. I'm glad I waited since I've seen how Twitter and Facebook handle the decisions of past. Can't blame them too much. Twitter is doing a better job, especially with moderating Trump, with public information. Facebook is relies on privacy filters. Both have issues, but they are not good for managing information. I don't think it is challenging to fix the...

You are a bad leader and must never be a leader.

If you cannot dig deep into your knowledge about how protests start and you think there is only one single goal that unites them. You live in an Ivory Tower.

The George Floyd protests didn't spark only because one guy died at the hands of a bad cop. You can clearly see where American policing has changed with their attitude towards their communities.

Some police are doing well and taking advantage of the massive PR campaign and others are feeding into the case...
