Let’s make a deal, Mr. President:
You release your college transcript, I’ll release mine, and we’ll see who was the better student.
Loser has to fund the Post Office.
Trump on AOC: "AOC was a poor student ... this is not even a smart person, other than she's got a good line of stuff. I mean, she goes out and she yaps."

Today we say goodbye to
Jazz Institute co-founder and Jazz Showcase founder Joe Segal.
Joe spent more than 70 years bringing jazz to Chicago in concerts, clubs and recording studios.
Rest well, you've definitely earned it.

Excellent advice I'd say as someone always eager for a new pasta recipe (a student-life staple that stayed on) and life-long apprentice of Italian cooking (bought my first cookbook at 16) who also appreciates a Negroni while cooking.

My go-to frontend for all things `dpkg`, `apt`, `apt-get`, ... for more than a decade. Highly recommended in @Debian and @Ubuntu (and likely all derivatives).
Lovely to hear new work going into it :)
A PPA may be a good idea besides pip.
Wajig (Ubuntu admin support) is undergoing a refresh. Now supports pip install (for the latest). Major update to support fuzzy command matching. Teach/Noop working. Reviewing and simplifying commands. Ongoing review. See wajig.readthedocs.io/en/late… for details. Feedback welcome.

I made a library for rendering in the terminal, based on so-called VT100 control codes. It uses a dirty check, diff between flushes, etc. to gain more perf in rendering.
Here is, for instance, a video from YouTube played in the terminal.

Yesterday's #dssv2020 keynote by @CynthiaRudin was very impressive---and (following extensive discussion of novel work) closed on policy-related aspects of #MachineLearning concluding with the recommendation below.
I recommend watching the recording (once it is up).

If you're working from home with more than 1 computer, I highly suggest controlling all of them with one keyboard/mouse. It cleans up your desktop and makes things feel a lot less hectic.
Synergy used to be OSS, but now there's Barrier!
