The theme of Forbidden Planet may be closer to the truth than we're willing to admit:

Hot takes for 2024:

* Is the project part of the Apache Foundation and something you have never heard of as a defender? Expect to see in-the-wild exploitation.

* Seeing a ton of lower-case error messages? It's Go. It's all Go now. Go ate Java, it's coming for .NET next. Rust folks (aka C++ refugees) are welcome to hang out in the basement and drink Bailey's from a boot (or at least, work on bootloaders) while everyone else moves to Go.

Happy new year!

An unusual sight for me during this morning’s hike. Normally I have difficulty seeing waxwings, even when they are in plain sight. This one stood out as it was taking a break from eating berries. These are very social birds, so I’m sure there were others nearby that had their cloaking turned on. A brisk hike with temps just below freezing and a bit of a breeze.

'Endemic' #SARSCoV2 and the death of #PublicHealth - #JohnSnowProject https://johnsnowproject.org/insights/endemic-sars-cov-2-and-the-death-of-public-health/ “it seems likely this laissez-faire policy will continue for the foreseeable future. The social, political, and economic movements that worked to achieve this mass infection environment can rejoice at their success.”

“The natural consequence of unmasked staff and patients, even those known to be SARS-CoV-2 positive, freely mixing in overcrowded hospitals is the rampant spread of hospital-acquired infections, often among some of the most vulnerable demographics. This was previously thought to be a bad thing.”
