@jmoiron I grew up near where @AOC did; my mother was a stay at home mom turned librarian, her parents were dairy farmers. My father is an electrician and an immigrant; his parents painted and cleaned houses. People acting like Westchester is one big country club.

@jmoiron @johnurbanik @nataliexdean I got per-county daily new cases from https://t.co/BXA3yXSawr but there's no demographic or anything else to the data. Used it to make this simplistic outbreak vis: https://t.co/H2F96aW7Yi
@jmoiron All your tech follows spent some of their "free time" learning tech.
@jmoiron @francesc When I was a kid in the US, I remember "spanish" and "hispanic" being used interchangeably, and rarely heard "latino". Related: https://t.co/Jqvc4lw7cB
@jmoiron It's messed up the way we use and interpret "Hispanic" when it includes both the colonizers and the colonized (and leaves out Brazilians). Makes Goya sound like some feel good Latinx success story when it actually started out as a guy from Spain selling olive oil in FiDi.
@jmoiron @nickrwebb 20k q&a: is Connections/James Burke an explicit influence of yours? If not, who are your science communication influences?
@jmoiron @jimbartus Maybe you weren't absolutist enough, did you try speaking even more freely? /s
@jmoiron In addition to voter access, voting fairness via RCV/Instant Runoff should be a big issue. I'm willing to bet a very high percentage (>80%) of the people who voted for Ashcraft or Harrison would take Patel over Maloney https://t.co/hGjhnodh6r
@jmoiron @xaprb I take a walk in Central Park every evening. Right at the start of the mall, the beautiful canopied walk towards Bethesda Terrace, is a statue of Christopher Columbus. It is surrounded by barriers, and seen no fewer than two police officers there since the protests.
@jmoiron Grazie, maestro.
@jmoiron RT @ScottHech: Today Gov. Cuomo, progressive “hero,” officially repealed NY bail reform enacted in just January. Turned his back on Black &…
@jmoiron New covid-19 cases in the US by county over time, logarithmic colourscale. Data from https://t.co/BXA3yXSawr https://t.co/AGpgxnuSqO
@jmoiron I've been seeing a rheumatologist at a respected lab for 6 years and my insurance just dropper her, so that's how insurance works.
@jmoiron I don't know how anyone who has stayed in the city can possibly feel safe dining indoors right now. We're still reporting hundreds of new cases a day. Nobody doing outdoor dining is wearing a mask, because of course only the foolhardy are doing it to begin with. https://t.co/sU...
@jmoiron @pmbauer I understand where you are, but this topic requires some nuance and some empathy and that thread wasn't it.
@jmoiron @amontalenti I think the GIL does a lot of heavy lifting here. I'm inclined to think this is a good decision for Python but not a good decision across all languages.
@jmoiron Do we have a word yet that means "outraged but not surprised", I feel like we need one.
@jmoiron @slava_pestov @chimeracoder I could only find active case counts from https://t.co/9iwEKJI8oG
@jmoiron @chimeracoder Do you think the "recovered" stats are accurate? AFAICT, since May 01 we've only had ~40k recoveries from 240k active, while adding 100k. 15% recovered after 7+ weeks sounds low, WHO says M(edian)TTR is ~2 wks (3-6 for critical). Rest of thread unfortunately is 1...
@jmoiron @chimeracoder Not surprising, BDB lives in an alternate dimension where New Yorkers have cars and are willing to drive to Staten Island for a drive thru Covid 19 test.
@jmoiron can someone get rust programmers into crossfit so they can mix it up a bit
@jmoiron @chimeracoder HAH this is literally the one comment on your previous tweet as well. Guess it would be!
@jmoiron @chimeracoder It would be amazing as an AR game.
@jmoiron Noteworthy change, since I mentioned Go2, in the updated draft: "The design is fully backward compatible with Go 1."
@jmoiron Updated #Golang generics proposal, blog: https://t.co/RY618NiDTJ draft: https://t.co/uRJjZz4o8V Hoping to write up a new version of my "Notes on the Go2 Generics Draft" https://t.co/6ARFWKCBZk to cover changes and how they address concerns I voiced there.
