They come to the conclusion that 18 million people have died globally.
We now show this data in our Explorer, along with uncertainty intervals: ourworldindata.org/explorers…

New buzzword: xkcd-driven development.
Because irony is dead: a RL driven solution for managing Python depencencies. See xkcd.com/2510/ : "I tried to train an AI to repair my Python environment but it kept giving up and deleting itself."

Both girls are in town, and they made me run around the (Waterfall Glen) block.
Couldn't have asked for a nicer fall day though. Bright, sunny, 50 degrees and a breeze. More of that, please.

You can store github repos in your rsync.net account by running 'git' over SSH:
rsync.net/resources/howto/gi…
There is support for LFS as well as credential stores for private repos.
You're a cron job away from immutable, independent backups of your git assets.
