We in the southern hemisphere are heading into winter. Not ideal

xbhdhdhdon CA governor projecting 25.5M COVID19 cases in CA in 8 weeks [pdf]

I hope no one projects COVID19 onto anyone. What a rude man. Hope he reconsiders.

Im using this and couldnt imagine doing API work any other way.

Generators are still in need of work for the languages I use, but this is the future.

DRY in action

xbhdhdhdon Lilith: x86-64 OS written in Crystal

Just this morning I was pondering the same thing in Elixir.

I wonder if Elixir and Crystal compete for ruby developers to pick up

Carmack is not only at the top of my list but is an awesome communicator at the same time.

xbhdhdhdon Show HN: Have I Been Pwned donations page is awesome

He has great taste in beer.

In all seriousness I hope people of means on here donate the $100 to take his wife out to dinner. Partners of folk doing this type of work never get recognition for the work they do to enable it

xbhdhdhdon Law firm mistakes number of days in month, files appeal 1 day after deadline

xbhdhdhdon Show HN: Monolinux – A tiny embedded Linux distro

Cool. ARM?

xbhdhdhdon Ask HN: Cool stuff that's still completely unregulated?

Id also contend the spaceship is likely controllable remotely, and monitored in both location and status.

Maybe the private submarine captain trumps all

xbhdhdhdon Ask HN: Cool stuff that's still completely unregulated?

International waters. Some regulations but not really enforceable. Less regulated than the air inc orbit and even the moon.

A famous movie director once said the film director is the last truely dictatorial post left. He was wrong. The captain of a vessel in international waters is.

xbhdhdhdon Collision course: why are cars killing more and more pedestrians?

One of the central points of the article is citing experts who refute this, and provide evidence to back that up.
