Cuban government has informed airlines that they only have about 24 hours worth of fuel left for planes. Beyond the obvious damage that suddenly shutting down any country's air travel would have, a not at all small % of food and medicine in Cuba comes by luggage on airlines efe.com/economia/202...

instagram, nyt, etc will face dire judgement for building their hasty breezeblock barricades in our verdant Wide Open Web. that i should hesitate to click on a URL, the holiest of gateways, for fear it will lead only to a "log in to read this content" screen? inexpiable. sin thou canst not absolve

I mean don’t get me wrong, I love functional programming and immediate mode UI but our revealed preference is that we want component state and class semantics and keep recreating it in a way that is somehow worse.

i get that parts of making the computer do things can be exhausting/boring/infuriating. but i worry that we will have some problems down the road if we encourage the idea that you can trade away understanding the details. if they resent code so much maybe it isn't for them at all. idk.

we all got that one sullen homie whose leitmotif shares a chord progression and instrumention with an enemy whose identity is yet revealed

all the best windows software in history is called something like "joe's thing doer". it does the thing and nothing else and is available on a html website in plain text and takes up under a megabyte of space and uses default windows ui elements and will work until the heat death of the universe

if you turn off a terrible movie instead of suffering through it pointlessly you can still make it to heaven but the angels rib you about it

I hate being bald and walking the same direction as another bald guy. It looks like we’re being summoned by our king

oh whoa javascript tells you where the text-insertion cursor is huh

I made a live Google Trends API if anyone needs one bc PyTrends stopped working: rapidapi.com/super-duper-... It has actual search terms unlike the Google RSS feed and doesn't cost literally $75/mo like SerpAPI's :)
