What does closure mean to you? I can think of at least three different things. At least I think they are different. - A function plus the environment is executes in. - A special operator in a regular expression, such as *. - A set containing all possible results of applying a function to another set.

China's single time zone demonstrates that people will adapt to whatever numbers are on the clock. I mildly prefer year round Standard Time just because it's closer to Solar Time, but that's because of my niche interests. Most people do not care about that. They very much do care about not having to dick with clocks twice a year and suffer from stationary jet lag. Year round Standard Time, year round Daylight Time, world-wide GMT - all would be fine. Stop messing with clocks!

Ran across this ridic steep half block at 48th and Balboa. My inclinometer app said 16° which I think is 30%. The official steepest SF street is 41%.

I mean sure you talked to Mitch McConnell. What's important is whether he talked to you.

Zohran Mamdani won his primary 56%/44%. AOC won her primary 57%/43%. Democratic voters like candidates who advocate policies that Democratic voters like. It sounds like a tautology but somehow the Democratic Party machine says it's not true and we should nominate candidates who are Republicans with a smiley face pasted on, and when they keep losing they say it's because the candidates were not Republican-lite enough. Vote for candidates with policies you like. It's that simple.

I added neighborhood searching to my Bay Area Sandwiches map and immediately ran into the confusion between Richmond and The Richmond. We should make one of them change! There can be only one Richmond!

We thought autonomous killbots were beyond the current state of the art because we can't yet make a bot that distinguishes between a Russian and a Ukrainian. Hah. Those clever Ukrainians side-stepped the problem by making bots Kill All Humans but only within a geofenced area - and then they tell Ukrainians to stay out of that area. I wonder if once this stupid war is finally over, there will be an Anti-Personnel Robots Convention. Russia, China, and the USA won't sign, of course.
