YVR today sent me passenger data for October.
Overall traffic is up. Domestic traffic is up. Other international traffic is also up.
The only thing not up is passenger traffic on flights to and from the U.S.
That's down for the 10th straight month.

think we (programmers) tend to underestimate "not much work" esp when compared to "no work at all whatsoever"

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

This is Link. His ball suddenly went missing and then reappeared trapped under his bed. He called his brother Otto in for backup, knowing they'd need all three of their collective brain cells to get it back. 12/10 for both (IG: thegoldenbruvs)

By using two View Transitions when intercepting links with the Navigation API – one in the precommitHandler and one in the regular handler – you can fake a Two-Phase VT today!
