In an update of a prior study on #COVID19 vaccine effectiveness, new data suggests it wanes quicker than first reported. Effectiveness against infection of one booster based on time since jab:
0 - 5 weeks: 63.1%
6 - 11 weeks: 50.3%
12 - 17 weeks: 29.8%
18 - 23 weeks: 6.6%
(While protection against infection fades, there remains evidence vaccines protect against serious disease and outcomes.)

Hiya! I'm a programmer looking for full-time work in the SF Bay Area (or remote!)
I'm primarily a Python programmer, but I've got significant experience in Java, C#, C++/C, Ruby, and Javascript.
I've focused a lot on Continuous Integration in recent years but I've got experience with in-house tool development, embedded software, back-end server stuff, and UI/Web/HIL test automation.
I've a lot of experience in digitization/archival work.

Thanks!
they say engineering is an applied science. well given some of the react codebases i've seen, i wish they'd apply some computer science
Mexican politics
Lately I've been paying a lot more attention to the state of politics in my country of Mexico. Now, I'm no political expert (far from it) but I feel like polarization is causing needless conflict. I feel like any political proposal that doesn't strive for union will only find more resistance against it. Relying on fear, hate, misinformation or opposition for opposition's sake is ultimately going to create more trouble than it might solve. It's almost like a distraction, I think.
tl;dr: In a world where companies will fleece you, scammers will steal your grandmother's savings, your chat program algorithmically charts your gender, and your car's manufacturer sells analytics about the way you drive without a second thought:
The only thing that matters is kindness, and we could all do with a lot more of it.
Also, I'm going to go have a drink or two now. Holy hell, that little rant has been building up for a while now.
