I’m still confused as to why protobuf and gRPC are so highly downloaded in the NuGet stats. I can’t imagine they’ve gotten that wide of an adoption in the #dotnet space, but maybe I'm wrong.
Are you folks using gRPC?

Legit Q: What will be the consequences to #Trump if he's outed as a pedophile?
❌ His base doesn't care about his racism, sexism, lack of ethics or criminality
❌ Congress kowtows & rolls over for him every week
❌ SCOTUS is bought & sealed
❌ Reasonable people already know he's evil incarnate
I don't see this as a means to weaken or oust him.

Our antenna array consists of 7 masts spaced about 80 feet apart. Numbers 2, 4, and 6 are 40; tall and have a tri-band beam antenna for 10m, 15m and 20m. Below that are the feed points of 80m and 40m dipoles.
Masts 1, 3, 5 and 7 are 32 feet tall and are used to hold up the ends of the dipoles.
Other bands are placed on tripods within the antenna zone (open only to authorized personnel).

The two most viable interpretations are that Trump policies (1) portend a wide-spectrum attack on the humanities, sciences, universities, health care, and foreigners.
Or that (2) they have more specific targets within these fields.
The evidence for (1) is mounting.

This is spot on.

I really hate the trend that the Play/Pause button is in the middle of the screen. Now, it fades away, BUT you can still press them! Hitting the middle of the screen pauses the video!
I hate it so much.
Just put a toolbar on the side, people. The video is less wide than the phone anyway. Give me buttons I can press.

Somehow we made this part of the Queensboro Bridge worse. This is a 3-4ft wide two-way bike lane. There's so much wrong with this, from the metal manhole cover taking up almost the entire width of the bike lane, to the MUTCD-violating usage of sharrows, to those shitty rumble strip/speed bump things THAT ARE LOOSE.

it's weird being so far away from mastodon/the fediverse for so long...I think it may take me days to get even a feel what it felt before...
