I see that Swift has now fallen into the same trap that modern C++ fell into long ago: "advanced" features that produce extremely clever convoluted magic code that is a cool mental puzzle to write the first time and an utterly unmaintainable inscrutable mess in reality.
The abyss of advanced template meta programming beckons.

Of course anyone can feel the way they feel about any particular episode, but when it comes to pacing, I think each episode is paced exactly as it’s meant to be. To complain about an episode feeling slow is to suggest that it could have been written to be faster, but I don’t think that’s the case at all. This isn’t a common action series; this is something truly unique. It’s one of the most thoughtful things I’ve ever seen on TV, and the pacing is part of that.

I've never really understood criticism of any episode of #Severance being “slow”. The series premiere did a phenomenal job of setting the place, which is a steady and deliberate crawl. The entire first season takes place over just a few days (and season two appears to be doing the same). It’s a very purposeful, methodical show that rewards patience. Sometimes we get a little more action and intensity, but that’s the exception; never the rule.

Wow, this really sucks... Just started to send emails to start canceling my research presentations and outreach that I had scheduled in the coming weeks/month 😔
I also have multiple papers stuck in the peer-review process with no idea what to do now. No access anymore to our research accounts, project data, code, and computational resources.

Last Tuesday, I was set to give a talk on 'climate change in the Northeast' at a retirement home but had to cancel due to hourly job threats.
After nearly two weeks of overwhelming uncertainty, today it happened. I was fired from my dream of working at NOAA. I'm so sorry to everyone also affected.
The reasons I was given:
--> I did not demonstrate that my work was in the public interest, and my ability, knowledge and/or skills did not match NOAA's needs.More soon. It will be okay.

Good Morning Folks! The Sunspot Number has dropped to 100. The Solar Flux Index has dropped to 150. A large hole has opened in the sun's atmosphere, and it is directly facing Earth. An emerging stream of solar wind should reach our planet on March 9-10. Chance of flares today: 45% for M-Class, 10% for X-Class.

Dietro le apparenze della innovazione tecno-libertaria, l'oscurantismo, la superstizione e il vassallaggio dominano lo scenario politico e sociale. Sono le dinamiche della disperazione, quelle che fanno leva sulla superstizione e il bigottismo per ricompattare una identità nazionale a basso costo cognitivo e sociale.
Più che una grande America direi una grande e profonda crisi.
