Quote: It's a swipe at the intelligence of people who gather in large groups, not wearing masks, during a pandemic that appears to be getting worse
You don't need the qualifier "not wearing masks" in there; people gathering in large groups during a global pandemic are displaying all the intelligence of a tuna sandwich.
Because, you see, masks limit the amount of infection sprayed into the air, it doesn't remove it completely, so having a few hundred people gathered together with masks on is not that much better than a few hundred people without masks on.

what about the thousands of BLM and Antifa protesters that did not wear masks either?
where was the outrage then?

I don't think the OP was expressing 'outrage'. I think it was an observation on the stupidity of trying to effect a coup, without wearing a mask.

What made you think these people were intelligent? There was a video on UK news this morning of a woman who seemed surprised and hurt that she had been maced and pushed out, after forcing her way into the building.

Where was the outrage when BLM and Antifa burned and destroyed hundreds of buildings and businesses throughout America? Where was the question of intelligence, then?

It's pointless to waste the manpower identifying and tracking these people down. Remember when BLM were looting stores and burning whole neighbourhoods to the ground, storming police stations and setting them on fire with people still inside? When they were caught they were simply let free right away to continue peacefully protesting the very next night.

I'm thinking they might be traced via their cell phones too. Most were running around with a phone.

So my JSON code that was optimized for RAM use rather than speed is keeping up with simdjson's nearest competitor (Mison notwithstanding since it's still a research project)
I have only done one major optimization ultimately for speed although the way my JSON parser works, it's pretty speedy by nature.
But some of the things it does, like highly selective skipping through a document or even front loading the parser with requests can speed up simdjson. So I'm incorporating ideas from my code into simdjson's codebase as a proof of concept to (edit: i hope!) make simdjson even faster than it is now. Hacking simdjson's stage 1 processing is crazy.
It's fun. I don't know what I'm doing. That's part of the joy of it. I'm totally in above my head, and eager because I know by the time I'm done I won't be. That enormous challenge therefore, presents enormous opportunity.

I used to claim that, but now I'm old and guilty as sin. I can honestly say that I enjoyed most of it. And real old programmers eat butterflies. They tickle a bit going down, but they're delicious.

I find I like being lost like this when it comes to grappling with technology I don't understand.
The thing is, is every time it happens, I throw myself into the deep end of the pool and I end up learning to swim.
It's an opportunity to level up - to have one of those epiphanies I so enjoy.
I do it for the rush.

What goes around comes around, and justice grinds slowly.
It appears I have some report generation in my future for a couple of projects. I know a limited Crystal Reports version used to ship with VS 6 (yeah, that far back). I'm curious what everyone *here* uses these days. What do you hate, what will you tolerate? I'd ask what do you love, but then, I've never heard of anyone loving a report generation tool. 
I have two needs - the first is to be able to generate ad hoc reports against a couple of internal databases. People want to play with generating their own reports, so I need something relatively simple to use.
The second is more production oriented for a manufacturing system. They'll be a canned set of reports generated on an order by order basis.
Yes, I did a google search, but all I get are myriads of pages listing the top 10 report tools and direct links to the company pages.
