COVID, flu, and RSV spread most easily this time of year, especially when we’re gathering indoors. Simple steps like improving indoor air quality, wearing a high-quality mask when needed, testing before gatherings, and staying home when sick can meaningfully reduce risk without taking away from joy or togetherness.

No single action does it all. But layering protections makes gatherings safer and more inclusive.

Improving indoor air quality by opening windows, using HEPA filters, or upgrading HVAC filters quietly lowers risk in the background, making shared spaces safer for everyone.

For a previous year / day I learned that you can take the boarding pass as a 10-bit binary number.

Thanks to this I could replace a lot of range/partition code with a single `int(..., 2)`.

Today is the anniversary of the Battle of Blood River, a battle in which a small group of Boers won a heroic victory against a Zulu horde. The battle became known as the "Day of the Vow" in Boer culture as before the battle took place the Boers prayed to God and stated that if he granted them victory in battle they would honor the day and celebrate it for years to come. The battle also earned the name "Blood River" due to the high amount of Zulus killed in the Ncome River as it was said their blood turned the river a reddish color.
