We initially set out to write a
David-vs.-Goliath narrative
about the town’s response to the
COVID crisis.
But there came a turning point
at which we realized there were more enduring questions and challenges facing Albany than COVID-19.
They were about #race and #power.
In the week…

I Started Covering the COVID-19 Crisis in Albany, Georgia. This Moment Made Me Realize There Was a Bigger Story to Tell.
The virus had killed about 38 people, most of them Black, by April 2020. But when a white judge died, local officials made sure to announce her name.

Olipa kyllä mielenkiintoinen aikaleima kännykällä tallennetussa träkissä. (mökin koordinaatit anonymisoitu). Ekaksi ajattelin, että olisi bitti nyrjähtänyt mutta pikaisesti katsottuna 12 bittiä olisi pitänyt kääntyä mikä ei tunnu todennäköiseltä.
Muuten kyllä selvisi, että olen vapusta 2019 lähtien viettänyt eniten aikaa kotona, sitten töissä ja mökillä. Olisiko tuon selvittämiseksi todella tarvinnut ajaa läppirllä postgresql:lää reilut 20 tuntia? Tuskin saamme koskaan tietää.

This book, "Last Boat from Tangier" by James von Leyden, published in 2020, seems nevertheless more relevant year after year. You'll know why when you follow the news.

China's efforts to slow land degradation and climate change
by planting trees and restoring grasslands
have shifted water around the country in huge, unforeseen ways, new research shows.
Between 2001 and 2020, changes in vegetation cover reduced the amount of fresh water available for humans and ecosystems in the eastern monsoon region and northwestern arid region,
which together make up 74% of China's land area, according to a study published Oct. 4 in the jo…

China has planted so many trees it's changed the entire country's water distribution
Huge "regreening" efforts in China over the past few decades have activated the country's water cycle and moved water in ways that scientists are just now starting to understand.

Evaluating BBRv2 on the Dropbox Edge Network
Nowadays, loss-based TCP congestion controls in general and CUBIC specifically became the de facto standard for the Internet. BBR congestion control challenges the loss-based approach by modeling the network based on estimated bandwidth and round-trip time. At Dropbox, we've been using BBRv1 since 2017 and are accustomed to its pros and cons. BBRv2 introduces a set of improvements to network modeling (explicit loss targets and inflight limits) and fairness (differential probing and headroom for…

Does the QUIC handshake require compression to be fast? | Fastly
QUIC promises a built-in, low-latency handshake. But can it achieve its promise alone? Let’s look at the value of handshake compression in helping QUIC achieve fast startup performance.
