Burensasub The closest thing to that is turning your phone screen monochrome. But it *would* be pretty cool to have a smartphone with an e-ink screen
đŸ”ģ Trinity For a time, I set my phone screen to monochrome. It let me use it without the eye-candy colors of social apps sucking me in. Changed it back because it got annoying.

đŸ”ģ Trinity I just discovered TypeScript. I've always hated JavaScript because of its typing, I might actually get into it now.

🧉 Martin I'm a big fan. Been writing it for a while now and it's a huge step forward in lots of ways. I would say, though, that like anything, it can be over-used in pursuit of the perfect type system, whereby code starts to get a little noisy and not necessarily better.

Nick Silvestri Not to ruin the vibe by getting into politics on this mini-Twitter, I've always thought it was a weird take to "not trust" a political party. You might not agree with one (or both), but don't they pretty much always behave _exactly_ in the way you expect? I trust them, in the sense that I trust them to continue to uphold the same policies as they do now.
đŸ”ģ Trinity > don't they pretty much always behave _exactly_ in the way you expect? //// No. The DNC actually got sued for rigging their primary against Sanders, won, and did the exact same thing in 2020. I would argue Democrats are more harmful to the country than Republicans, from a leftist perspective, because Democrats claim to be left wing while handing Republicans more power and the laws they want. Obama built the cages in which Trump locks the children...

Diva My colleagues and I are attending a workshop tomorrow, Inshallah. We had to do a Myers-Briggs personality test ahead of the event. I'm an ISFJ ("The Defender") - which personality are you?!
đŸ”ģ Trinity infp, though I took another one that was supposedly more accurate and got infj.

Zero Edge Sooo... what if we created a separate calendar called a "debt calendar".. The entire world agrees to create this calendar for debts. You can then pause or "slow down" time (i.e slow required debt payments).. So my rent is due August 5th. But since time is moving slower on the debt calendar we could reach "August 5th" but on the debt clock we are at "August 1st". We then can move the clock faster or slower depending on how well the recovery is going. What would break?
đŸ”ģ Trinity It would be infeasible because most of the world is able to go back to work. Only America is having dramatic numbers of new cases (well, in the first world; Brazil is doing its own thing), probably due to the population's unwillingness to embrace basic science (due to their weak education system probably stemming at least in part from their refusal to make public universities free).

Diva Oh wow! Is it bearable?
đŸ”ģ Trinity Not remotely. And this is relatively close to the northern tip of America. Global warming is real!

Diva How hot does it get where you live during the summer? We had a temperature of 36 degrees Celsius today, and let me tell you, we're just not used to that kind of heat here in London, UK!

M_dow Faced a fear today: I went to the gym for the first time since March. It wasn't as bad as I expected. Working out with a mask isn't great, but it's not awful. I was wearing a disposable one...I don't think I would have made it in a re-usable one.
đŸ”ģ Trinity If you're in a hot state I would highly recommend staying home. Gyms are some of the most dangerous places in terms of spreading respiratory illnesses because physical activity leads to elevated heart rate, which leads to more respiration. Masks (especially cloth ones) can only help so much.

🧉 Martin I did the same years back. Fun times! I have a funny coding story you might enjoy from back then - a real baptism by fire with C/socket programming. See if you can work out the problem before I reveal all in the end of the post :) martinrue.com/zzuy...
đŸ”ģ Trinity Haha, I did indeed figure it out before the end! Cool post.
