I got my first two shots from different providers in California (first from Santa Clara County and the second from Stanford) and it showed up just fine in the State of California's records.
Less likely to hold for the booster at a grocery store pharmacy in Maryland, though.

Happy 25th birthday CSS1!
On December 17, 1996, W3C issued official recommendations for language specification, Cascading Style Sheets, level 1 (CSS1).

I turn 40 today. I was planning to have a party but I canceled it last week because of Omicron.
I wrote about why I made that call, and how I thought about the risks—to myself, to my friends, and to our society. 1/

Somewhere in there they should tell people to behave differently if they test positive, too.
Didn’t see this one coming: on account of, you know, an unvaccinated 2yo, we asked Thanksgiving hosts to distribute covid tests (which we bought) to everyone coming. Someone’s tested positive and is ?? coming anyway ?? and the host ?? won’t uninvite them ??

A fed agency has proposed revisions to the nation's traffic manual. W/ road deaths & climate change surging, stakes of speed couldn’t be higher. Profs

Rather than looking at log4j as a case study in funding (how would funding have prevented this?), I think there is a case study to be made about project and brand hand-off. I claim that a substantial part of log4j 2.x adoption was driven by reputational momentum of log4j 1.x …

Closer match for Philadelphia to Norwalk, CT.
Philly-NYC just isn't that far, it's less than 90 minutes by Amtrak train IIRC.

There's more room to grow if you upzone one of the departments on the upper floor rather than one on the lower floor.

Palo Alto had similar recusals when passing the Housing Work Plan ordinance in late 2018 / early 2019 -- staff had to split it up into 3 parts to account for recusals on downtown-specific and CalAve-specific zoning.

I think both Liz Kniss and Eric Filseth were recused from Caltrain grade separation stuff in Palo Alto, which I think was why there was a special subgroup of the council (chaired by @adrianfine) for that, at least for the year when Kniss was mayor and Filseth was vice-mayor.

For how long after the pandemic ends (if it ends) will we keep finding masks in our coat pockets?

I think I have some sort of a stop in there for the t (maybe an alveolar stop).
(The same kind of stop that replaces the entire word “good” in “good morning”, I think.)

Our tendency on covid has been to lean into the culture war aspects and that’s why we’ve focused so much on masks to the exclusion of less controversial measures like improved ventilation. This has been a harmful tendency imo

Before we get there, though, maybe we should insert an omesa (?) somewhere between omicron and omega.

Being able to have a commit on my own machine that others didn't have, and use that to save work in progress, was actually a big deal, though.
I still have a directory somewhere of patch files named in the format [bug number].[version], like 9458.6.

I would not describe myself as, like, exuberantly pro-travel-ban but these people make such a fuss about their profession being evidenced-based and the evidence is that the countries with the best handle on covid have done so partly through travel restrictions
