My husband and I hiked from Stockholm to Tyresta National Park and camped overnight. We hiked further southwest today and then caught busses home because public transit here is amazing. Hike was tough, but glad we did it.

Not a single nurse at the Stockholm tick-borne encephalitis vaccine clinic was wearing a mask.

How many asymptomatic nurses are spreading COVID-19?

Who called it ‘mocktail’ and not ‘cocktease’?

Anyway, I am experimenting with Seedlip distilled non-alcoholic spirits because alcohol is a carcinogen.

Every HTTP request library needs to support connection timeout, response timeout, etc. to prevent app from hanging in poor network conditions. Merely an "abandoned" request could still sit wait forever, wasting memory.

Except in async #Rust, which has an interesting model: when you stop polling a Future and drop it, it explicitly aborts everything it has been doing. So if the app gives up on the request, it will get cleaned up automatically even if it was stuck. No need for special timeout API.

What are some other examples of biased language in technology other than master/slave, blacklist/whitelist?

“No one is going to give you the education you need to overthrow them. Nobody is going to teach you your true history, teach you your true heroes, if they know that that knowledge will help set you free.” —Assata Shakur

Are door frames actually strong enough to support me doing pull-ups regularly from them?

Anytime I need to psych myself up to do something badass, I listen to the first 4 songs of @xtina’s “Lotus”.

No need for badassery from me today, but still feelin’ it.

Do I know a single macOS user who has personally encountered malware? I have used macOS since 2001 and worked at a university IT helpdesk. Not a single encounter.
