ppljudge··on Bringing the magic: Google breaks open a bottleneck in quantum computing
and possibly changing the world :D
ppljudge··on Maiao: Gerrit-style code review workflow for GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, others
This sounds intriguing. Additionally, I wanted the community to evolve our approach to providing PR feedback. One of the unintended consequences was that it became a tool for people to exploit their workers.
ppljudge··on Nitter and XCancel receive cease and desist notices
This. It bugs me that we can’t read without logging in, and other UX decisions that basically made me quit using it for like 7 or 8 months now.

ppljudge··on Meld for Macs
This is my favorite merge tool for years. Haven’t seen updates for the latest mac OS Mojave though
ppljudge··on On Wordle, the NYT, and Antitrust
I always remember that article where people said the new companies and ideas wouldn’t come from garages anymore. Looks like a single HTML game is a huge success now
ppljudge··on Had Covid? You’ll probably make antibodies for a lifetime
Not really fact based affirming you “always recover”. Besides, I know people who got COVID twice or more.

And every new study like this confirms we didn’t know enough about it to propose solutions like “herd immunity”
ppljudge··on Monitoring a high risk conjunction between two large defunct objects in LEO
Agreed. There must be some illustration to give us a better idea of how vast the orbitable area is.
