In 2020, we all took some solace in the Nature is Healing memes, even the silly ones. But the thing is, with even the slightest nudge in the right direction, even the smallest relief from our boot on its neck, it does. Nature does heal and reclaim.

We knew salmon were returning to Upper Klamath Lake after the dam removal there. But now we know they are breeding, and making the first natural hatchlings there in over 100 years. This is great news.

Hide macOS Tahoe's Menu Icons With This One Simple Trick - 512 Pixels

I really dislike Apple’s choice to clutter macOS Tahoe’s menus with icons. It makes menus hard to scan, and a bunch of the icons Apple has chosen make no sense and are inconsistent between system applications.

@deech I have fond memories of SMLNJ from Dan Grossman’s coursera course on programming languages!! It introduced me to ML style languages and is what led me to exploring and using OCaml (and most likely is what helped move up in my career by helping me be better about being curious and open to exploring new things. OCaml also opened some doors even if the jobs themselves ended up moving away from it)
