This is absurd. The airport is closed, the border to Dominican Republic is closed. What is @TravelGov suggesting people do to depart as soon as possible? If they know something we don’t about the airport reopening, they should tell us. Or is teleportation now possible? #Haiti

.@guardian explores the legacy of Trainspotting, and why @IrvineWelsh's cult classic is as relevant today as it was 30 years ago. Have an exclusive look at the first-ever illustrated edition of Trainspotting, brand new from Folio: foliosociety.com/trainspotti… theguardian.com/books/2023/j…

When Harriet Tubman was born, Thomas Jefferson was alive, and when Harriet Tubman died, Ronald Reagan was alive. Stop saying everything was four hundred years ago. It wasn't.

That feeling when the HL7 message router you coded up from scratch is put into production and successfully sends an order and receives a result... And transforms both into ergonomic JSON data. #relief #that80stech

A big belated thanks to @edborowski71 for his solid roasting on my lack of socket programming knowledge!

RIP the great Russell Banks. Affliction, The Sweet Hereafter, Cloudsplitter, Continental Drift. Portrayed the struggles of the working class so beautifully and empathetically. Spoke at my college graduation. Won’t ever forget that.

5. The report reinforces the point (that I have been making since the onset of the pandemic) that COVID is not so much the fundamental disruptor of cities urban life as an accelerator of existing trends already well underway.

Watched a video on how RMS rejects a non-Lisp as the scripting language in Emacs, but particularly JavaScript. Because it is a less powerful language, I got that, but he went on that "because it's used in browsers and to execute non-free programs, it is not a good choice." Huh?

The acid test for any two competing socioeconomic systems is which side needs to build a wall to keep people from escaping? That’s the bad one!

It's not impossible. Elon is a smart guy. He doesn't currently understand how different social media is from cars and rockets, but he could well figure it out before it's too late.

Do they know what happened yet or is it basically just some square-cube law fuckery?

Hi David—thanks for reaching out. For the moment we don't offer a way to convert cryptocurrencies back to fiat or traditional currencies.

Unproven, brainstormed, brilliant-or-terrible idea: Keep your app's designs in your code repo. Organize it in Storybook. Replace mocks with actual components as they're built. *Continuously integrate design into the development flow.*
