"Live" map of confirmed cases of CoVID-19 in the UK.

A mad wonderful thread on twitter

Article that describes the more extreme symptoms of contracting CoVID-19. It also highlights that it can and will affect those who are younger.

Some informed speculation as to the origin of SARS-CoV-2.

Despite using it since the mid 1990s, I'd never noticed that Emacs had acquired a pretty good charting library. This blog post is a pretty good introduction to it.

Some early myth-busting regarding SARS-CoV-2. As of the time of writing this description, it all looks so terribly out of date. Quite a bit of the advice has changed. :-/

Wonderful history of the evolution of a great protest song. Easily one of my absolute favourite protest songs.

Early(ish) article busting some of the myths about SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19.

Fairly comprehensive list of facts about male victims of domestic abuse.

Genbank data for SARS-CoV-2.

Article discussing the issue of how, as a society, we often see domestic violence carried out by women as a self-defence thing. It's a trope that is very unhelpful to male victims of domestic abuse.

A sober take on a terrible situation. The case itself had serious implications for how victims of abuse are believed, even if they don't wish to report the abuse (which often can be the case because an abuser can convince the victim that the abuse isn't real, or there's a reasonable cause).

Free online book about getting to know Julia.

Interesting article that compares Seq to Julia, and in doing so results in speed improvements in a bioinformatics library for Julia.

Great article that nicely puts into words many of the things I find problematic about agile.

Portal that provides access to the nutritional information of all meals at the UoE cafes.

Simple online drawing tool that generates diagrams that appear to be hand-drawn.

Github are doing more to make it easier to find good issues to get you into contributing to projects. I like this idea and should make a point of looking at the possible contributions of projects I make use of a lot.

Good blog post that talks about effective use of Makefiles when building and managing Emacs Lisp code.

Guile v3.0.0 has been released.

Potentially useful and fun introduction to programming in Emacs Lisp, that actually gives results people might enjoy.

This seems like an excellent overview on how to navigate communicating with someone with BPD when their disorder is in control.

Fascinating tweet (and thread) that shows all the different ways you can arrange a collection of circles without them overlapping.

A critical review of a book about sleep that I've seen lots of people uncritically rave about.

Twitter thread that invited people who have mental ill health, or disorders, to explain things that neurotypical types might not know, understand, or appreciate.

Tool for helping work out if a twitter account is a bot or not.
