Waldo JaquithPlease, please, stop using "foo" and "bar” in code documentation. Give us real examples that mean something. Not "if (foo > bar)," but “if (height > limit)." Not “foo++” but “counter++”. Give us a logical hook to hang our hat on, not nonsense words.

@billinkc I’m trying to wrap my head around the concept of a very detailed discussion between fixed width and delimited. If I had to spend more than 2 minutes explaining, I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have asked about CR,LF or CRLF and just picked one for them. You’re a man of great patience.

Risk of autoimmune diseases in patients with COVID-19: A retrospective cohort study
There are a growing number of case reports of various autoimmune diseases occurring after COVID-19, yet there is no large-scale population-based evidence to support this potential association. This study provides a closer insight into the association ...
Mark RuffaloHey everyone. Just wanted to eliminate the confusion and let you know that this is actually me. 😂 Hope you are having an awesome Thursday!
Dan GillmorBig Journalism is still largely unwilling to call things what they are. Today's example is the Washington Post's use of "vaccine hesitancy" to describe a movement that is based on rejecting science and evidence in favor of dangerous and, increasingly, politically motivated lies.
The people who reject vaccines are attacking their communities. They spread disease and death. We should recognize this, and say it out loud.

@Pwnallthethings How would deliberately killing Twitter look different than what Elon has been doing to Twitter?
Mike Masnick ✅With each new surge of Mastodon users, I feel the need to point out:
1. Welcome!
2. There is a learning curve here, but most people find it short and not very steep. Play around, explore. You'll get it.
3. Lots of people are willing to help.
4. Yes, it's different than Twitter. Sometimes in good ways, sometimes not. But you'll figure it out.
5. With surges especially, things sometimes get slow/glitchy, but they usually get fixed pretty quick.
Be patient.
