TIL about the "#fuckit" module in #Python:
https://github.com/ajalt/fuckitpy
And, what can I say, it actually works, see the images attached.
I think I may have to update some personal projects with "from unittest import skip as fuckit"...
(The Python one is based on another one for #javascript : https://github.com/mattdiamond/fuckitjs)
After a second child in the #US died of #measles , US secretary of health and #antivaxxer #Kennedy suddenly recommends #vaccines:
"The most effective way to prevent the spread of measles is the MMR vaccine."

I mean, it's a good development that someone from #Trump's government starts to acknowledge some facts for a change, but these two deaths were entirely preventable, and #Kennedy (as a prominent anti-vaxxer) bears some responsibility for their deaths.
While #Trump and #Musk radically cut US spending on essential things such as health and science, most voters would actually prefer if the US government *increased* spending in a number of areas.
Well, duh.
At the same time more than 70% think that the spending of the federal government is "very wasteful" or "somewhat wasteful".

Today I spent most of my time learning #Elixir. So, after hours, I finally arrived at the part where they tell you how to compile your code. (The code can also be interpreted, so that's okay.) I haven't gotten to the part where they tell you how to actually *run* your compiled code, yet, it must be in another chapter. So I googled, and (of course) there's a question on Stack Overflow about it. And, what can I say, the accepted answer barely fits one screen.
Needless to say, it's not just "define a function called main". Why simple when you can make it complicated?
The developers must have been like
#elixirlang
