Except that he hasn't. The vast majority of things you think he said, he didn't actually say. We've never had a media that distorts everything this bad. Every little thing he does say is taken out of context.

I lived in a garden unit in Chicago for a year. I hated it. Luckily it never flooded, but that was always a worry. The bugs though; I hear you on that. I could not get rid of ants no matter how much I cleaned and sprayed. It was a constant

I've used ghi before just for issues: https://github.com/stephencelis/ghi It's pretty nice. I like seeing these features supported officially (I think hub supported many of these unofficially for years). What

Immunity is complex. Our immune systems are very complex. We've measured immunity based on antibodies for decades, but what if that's not the entire picture? Our immune systems have Memory T-cells, a Complement Protein system, and

What have we seen so far? In America at least, 190k dead, but over 95% of them are over 55 and >80% over 65. Only around ~6k did not have other comorbidities. People have complained the US lockdowns weren't strong enough compared to

Starting with 9 we saw a lot of functions depreciated for a decade finally removed and other breaking comparability changes. Moving up the Java version system is finally going to stop dependency rot, but there is a lot of old stuff out the

But a ton of the "clean" power isn't clean. Solar needs to have standby fossil plants that keep at idle or else you get brownouts. Those high end molten salt solar plans take natural gas to startup. Most "wood chip"

The only time I've bothered with coding challenges is what I was out of work, and zero of them, even some I spent hours working on, have ever lead me to a job. My current employer was fine with an example from current open source proje

I'd be curious to run that too. That was the very last release of macOS I really liked. Everything from that point on went down hill.

One analogy I've heard: Imagine the big bang split into 4 spheres and they accelerated away from each other. Because they'll all be expanding and accelerating, there could be 4 equally sized spheres of stuff just like our own, but

I've always been puzzled by the estimated age of the universe at being 13 billion years. That's just the size of the observable universe, correct? Isn't there a future horizon beyond which light will not currently reach us?

Back in 2014, I was hiking through Alligator Falls in Queensland, AU with a friend. We probably bit off a bit more than we could chew and started an 18km hike at 2pm. When we were making our way back, we were lucky the moon was out and brig

Are you talking about antibodies? There are papers on T-cell immunity and clicks who've tested staff a month apart with no increase in antibody positive tests. It's probably WELL over 10%. There are more ways our immune system can
