    Ivermectin

    There was some (incorrect) indication that Ivermectin might help with COVID-19. The studies are in [twiv] [jama]

    This is incredible. On a scale of 0-10 WTFs this is a 10.

    Checkmate

    This is almost certainly a pre-release bit of propaganda, but it’s – as is the case for most Russian propaganda – well done. The Russians have their own F-35! [france24]

    Ladders and Levers

    Yesterday, I had a lot of reasons to think about the question of mechanical advantage involving ladders. The 40-foot extension ladder that I ordered (one has to special-order such things) finally arrived and it was time to clean out the gutter on the upper edge of my house.

    Some Neeping About Code

    When I came up with the name “stderr” for this blog, I was thinking about the way that the error-stream is unbuffered; that means that things come out in the order that they are printed, sort of like how I speak/write: blah blah blah unfiltered and there’s no “pause” button.
