CDC Researchers Ordered to Retract Papers Submitted to All Journals
Jeremy Faust, MD, MS, MA, Editor-in-Chief - MedPage Today
_Stephan: As a research scientist, I have published some 325 papers in seven disciplines in peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings. I have been doing this for 47 years, and in all that time I have never heard or read of a U.S. government agency censuring a science research publication.

ROB GILLIES and FABIOLA SÁNCHEZ, Staff Writers - Associated Press
Stephan: Expect prices for everything from gas to grocery store items, as well as a long list of other products, to go up significantly before the month is out. “emperor” Trump has created a trade war with our neighbors to the North and South as well as with China.
With tariffs signed, Trump warns of ‘pain’ to come for Americans
Kevin Liptak and Veronica Stracqualursi, Staff Writers - CNN

There will be major loss of jobs in some states. For example as cited in this repor … ⌘ Read more

@sorenpeter@darch.dk It depends on your requirements. If you just want to put your code somewhere for yourself, simply push it over SSH on a server and call it good. That’s what I do with lots of repos. If you want an additional web UI for read access for the public, cgit comes to mind (a mate uses that). Prologic runs Gitea, which offers heaps more functionality like merge requests.

? operator in Go 👈 No. For so many reasons.
@prologic@twtxt.net Which one? I don’t mind the ternary operator at all. In fact, I often find myself missing it in Go. I don’t find the two alternatives particularly elegant:
foo := "eggs"
if bar {
foo = "spam"
}
Or:
var foo string
if bar {
foo = "spam"
} else {
foo = "eggs"
}
To my eye, this just would look a lot nicer:
foo := bar ? "spam" : "eggs"
Or at least as the Pythons do it:
foo = "spam" if bar else "eggs"
The ternary operator especially shines with relatively short expressions.
