  • 🔗 Climate action cannot wait for pandemic to end, medical journals warn

    Global warming is already affecting people's health so much that emergency action on climate change cannot be put on hold while the world deals with the COVID-19 pandemic, medical journals across the globe warned on Monday. “Health is already being harmed by global temperature increases and the destruction of the…
    Should be common sense that we can’t wait any longer. Hard to believe that heat related among those over 65 is up over 50% in the last 20 years.

    Virtual clubbing, you say? It’s tough to top Psygnosis’ Wipeout series and its legacy, starting with composer Tim Wright aka CoLD SToRAGE. So let’s queue up a mix.

    I've heard of people doing this before, but they're usually using a terminal for all of their development on a server in the cloud.

    While I'm reluctant to use VSCode (because I'm still not sure I trust Microsoft yet), it appears a similar can also be done with PyCharm. Maybe this is the solution to my building a PC/getting a PC itch.

    4 years. Glad they were successful.
