Roxane Gay and I talked with Claudia Rankine on Hear to Slay recently. Claudia told a great story about Richard Pryor th

I’m sure there are massive hurdles here, especially in the privacy and security space, as well as data stove pipes and cross-app, government, and inter-departmental operation resistance. Still, Covid-19 is bigger than all of us and it requires out-of-the box thinking and tapping into the power of data and technology we already have at our fingertips.

As we know, technology has played a huge role in fast-tracking the development of multiple vaccine choices, but that speed and other political and social tensions means that not everyone will agree to take the vaccine.

On Twitter today, I suggested we use the Contact Tracing apps co-developed by Apple and Google and various local government and health agencies to track who gets the vaccine and where. I’ve been running one on my iPhone for months. For places where use of these apps is not prevalent (sadly, many areas), we could also utilize social media’s disaster related “Marked as Safe” functions.

ays highly subjective and I’ve come up with a simple formula to order these books. Like movies, the first people to review are super fans or know the creator personally. I account for that by giving extra weight to the number of reviews then normalize to give a score out of 100.

News that the UK will start vaccinating its citizens with the approved Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine as soon as next week is encouraging and it probably means we’ll see delivery of the vaccine in the U.S. and elsewhere before the end of this year.

In many ways my whole programming career feels like a long wait for a replacement to C. 20 years ago I though that was C . Over time I learned C was a complex monster that could never be tamed no matter how many thick best practices books I read.

So while being a professional C programmer I always had a look at the alternatives. The first hopeful alternative was D. D looked promising initially but upon closer inspection I decided that D was really just a cleaned up version of what was fundamentally a bad idea. One of the key problems with C its kitchen sink approach to language design. There is just too much in there.

While implementing a simple game engine in C and Lua, I came to realize that it was actually less mental overhead to keep these two languages in the head at the same time than C . It brought me some renewed love for C. For all its limitations, C is a fairly simple language that gives you a lot of control.

If we do this for all vaccinations, people will be able to open up the contact tracing app, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, maybe even TikTok, and connect to an immunization coverage map to see what percentage of their local population has taken the vaccine. It’ll also give them a clear picture of the rising or static level of health safety in their community.

I’m sure there are massive hurdles here, especially in the privacy and security space, as well as data stove pipes and cross-app, government, and inter-departmental operation resistance. Still, Covid-19 is bigger than all of us and it requires out-of-the box thinking and tapping into the power of data and technology we already have at our fingertips.

Java and C# was in many ways just attempts at rehashing C . They may have kept things more simple, but kind of ended up being too caught up in the Virtual Machine and object-oriented programming hype of the 90s. Not saying Java or C# are bad but not really my cup of tea. A lot of that may have more to do with the community around those languages which favor bloated IDEs and over-engineering.

For local, state, and Federal officials, it’ll be shorthand for how effectively they’re immunizing their localities and states and where there is resistance to the vaccination program, and when they need to act to counter it.

Contact tracing app and social media platform developers could start updating their systems now in preparation for the vaccine’s delivery later this month or early next year. The data collected could ultimately be shared with other countries and help reopen the world and get us back to our pre-pandemic life that much more quickly.
