I also just wrote about leaving GitHub Pages for different reasons <https://pettazz.com/goodbye-gh-pages/>. Sticking with Jekyll for now though because I'm too lazy to rebuild my horribly cobbled together 10 year old theme

This is some real nostalgia. I spent all April Fools' Day probably every year in college trying to figure out how to make this work on my DD-WRT'd wireless router until finally getting it.

It also inspired my own method of dealing with Plex server login sharing https://pettazz.com/how-to-really-piss-people-off-with-plex/ in 2015 which also probably doesn't work at all anymore.

I don't have any particular use for this right now but the visualization is so good that I actually followed along and get what it's about. Pretty obvious to say but it's super cool and I wish more projects had this kind of quick intro/overview.

The reason for case counts staying relatively low in those places has a lot less to do with "herd immunity" and a lot more to do with still being careful. Even though a huge number of people were infected, it was still a very small amount of the population overall, not anywhere near enough to affect the transmission rate with no restrictions.

In MA we're not even close to entirely reopened yet, but as we continue step by step the transmission rate is ticking back up unfortunately: https://rt.live/us/MA

But have you actually used a Catalyst app on mac? They're terrible ports as it is right now.

Pretty sure all that'll really happen if you stop tipping is that some poor delivery driver gets screwed. Just stop using the apps, order from the restaurant directly, tip your delivery people.

They're talking about "for general disaster preparedness" in this comment. The OP specifically mentions not worrying about water in the case of COVID specifically.

> The only reason busses are the size they are is the labor cost

They're big because they fit 50 people inside a single vehicle instead of 50 different cars.

Okay, this is a good look into the payment systems of all three, but I feel like judging them solely by that and not by the content of the actual paper is probably not the right metric to use here.

BA doesn't provide an API, and they regularly go after scraper-style "API" implementations that pop up. http://www.beeradvocate.com/contact/

Also, +1 for Untappd integration. That would be amazing.
