I liked this guy's explanation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=1313&v=wb_0FB7XiqA My main questions after watching: how long do the spike proteins attach to our cell membranes? Do they get cleaned up eventually?

Awesome, thanks a ton. Sounds like your lib would be perfect for me. Also, kudos to somehow typing that on your phone. Looks like I need to incorporate encoders/decoders into my scheme. I might just steal that code outright. Thanks

I'm working on a similar thing, tho I don't intend to extract it into a library (yet). I was inspired by Gary Bernhardt's blog post [1] and video [2]. I have an endpoints.ts file, shared between client/server, which has

Yeah, I feel like there should be an affordable air quality monitor (with an accompanying app) that you can just slap on walls...

Love that he's bringing attention to CO2 build up & air quality in offices. I can't stand those modern "energy efficient" buildings with no open windows.

Man, that keyboard sounds really bad. Can anyone with the new MBP confirm it's as noisy as that video makes it sound, even after you adapt to it? As a Vim user, a noisy keyboard scares the hell out of me.
