It is awful that 60-80 people died tonight, needlessly. The shocking way it happened has garnered a lot of attention. Quietly, for the past few weeks, nearly 1000 people per week have died in the US from covid. It is no longer shocking, & so garners little attention. Please, pay attention.

You can honor David Lynch by wearing a mask in public. He had to begin isolating at home because he has emphysema- a COVID infection would likely be fatal- and no one wears masks anymore. Millions of others like him (including myself) were left behind when COVID measures were abandoned

Sorting out old books, I stumbled over this gem. Got „The Algorithm Design Manual“ from Steven S. Skiena as a present in 2002 and it was highly useful for developing algorithmic skills. Would highly recommend the new edition from 2021 to anyone who wants to advance in this area (also for experts)!

If you have ever tried to read free books from sites like Project Gutenberg, you noticed that they can be uncomfortable to read, due to their layouts, type & occasional errors This project takes those free books and makes them beautiful (and still free). standardebooks.org

As a journalist, this is why I continue to write about Covid in the present tense.

Smalltalk has a syntax (see the famous Smalltalk syntax postcard), but everything is a message. Each object receives a message (with syntax structures like blocks or arrays already mapped to objects) then decides what to do with it (executes a method). Message-sending instead of parsing.
