I think a pool closed for 3 days indicates gross mismanagement of chemical levels, not that contamination in public pools can’t be successfully managed.

In theory a public pool under proper management should be cleaner than a private pool which almost certainly isn’t being professionally managed.

Chlorine in pH balanced water with the right hardness is surprisingly effective. Pro tip, if you can smell “chlorine” it probably means the pool is dirty and doesn’t have enough chlorine left in the water. The smell is not chlorine in the water, it’s the result of the chlorine burning off as it oxidizes contaminants.
The interesting thing about working for a UK challenger bank - I now have visibility into all of the outages going on at large, high-street banks here.

Complete outages are rare, and well-publicised, but things go wrong a lot more[1] than you might think without any communications to customers that anything is wrong, sometimes outright denying[2] that there's a problem.

Please learn to swim. It's never too late. Plus, it's fun. Plus, it's classy. Plus, you won't be caught "in over your head" (sorry) in situations like this. Humans are meant to learn to swim IMHO. The instinctive response is just a "stub" that is expected to be built upon, similar to language ability and crawling->walking and other human things. (Humans don't naturally walk unless they are taught to, did you know that? Source: Sadly, a handful of humans were raised by other animals over the years, and none of them walked naturally when discovered.)

When I went to Cornell, learning to swim was a mandatory requirement. If you didn't pass the "swim 2 laps" swim test they gave you right off the bat, your first assigned P.E. class would be a swim class. (Apparently, one of the large Cornell donors stipulated this as part of his donation. Possibly, someone in their immediate family had died due to lack of being able to swim.)

You say you don't look good in a bathing suit? Swimming will teach you not to care. Hell, if you're heavy, staying close to the water surface is actually easier. And you can get great exercise WITHOUT putting the stress on your joints that pretty much every other exercise will do to you if you're heavy. (Note: I'm a bit overweight, so I get it. I get it.)

Did I mention it's fun? If you're an adult, you will feel like a kid again.

You say you don't live near a coast? Well, when you go on vacation and are near a beach, you can actually go into the water fearlessly! And surely, there's a pool of some sort nearby.

Don't be afraid. Don't care what others think. Please consider it.

Wunderlist Shutting Down
I absolutely love reddit - a massive collection of discussion forums on very specific topics and most seem to be moderated by individual(s).

I can find topic related to all my interests - finance, economy, devops, machine learning, politics, sports, specific country and even things like walmart and costco.

Although effectiveness of advice can vary depending on topic (people are pretty opinionated on certain subreddits) but overall, it is a great community effort.
Greenhouses are early adopters of automation. But they only automate the stuff that actually works reliably. This means watering schedule, fertilizer and light. There are few things mechanical that can go wrong with them, especially the light part. They don't have a hord of maintenance people that have time to fix everything that goes wrong. They might have one person that is doing that beside other things.

I live close to one of the bigger ones in north Sweden. They run some accelerated daytime schedule in the darkess of the polar winter so at least part of the nights has a yellow sky in the whole area. You see it for 10 km on the way to the village nighttime. Could almost believe it's a 100 k town but no :-)
Common fallacies about computing and agency aside I personally believe intelligence is a spectrum and an emergent phenomenon is the most convincing hypothesis. We have already seen grizzly brain damage or defect cases that result in "missing" aspects. We don't even know all subparts and interactions of our own let alone what hypothetical alternative arrangements could be made - even before its processes engage in repurposing.

That however doesn't tell us much until/unless we find a hypothetical threshold and refine it.

Imagine a Middle Seat You’d Pay For
In the videos from the "article", the pool guard jumped in while the person is still trying to get above the water. They never lose consciousness and get away with a scare.

This system is "trained to detect people under-water" and in the demo it only starts beeping after about 6 seconds of no movement while the person is on the bottom of the pool. So the person first has to get exhausted, sink, stop moving, and then the system catches on that something is wrong. I guess if you get oxygen into the person fast enough, they can make a full recovery, but in the context of a pool this should not replace lifeguards. At home, this is better than nothing, though I wonder if actual (near-)drownings would go up or down because of the sense of security.

Edit: the About page confirms it:

> Without air in your lungs, your body sinks [...] For children, irreversible damage to the brain tissues typically starts to occur after about 4-5 minutes without oxygen, (for adults it is after about 3-4 minutes). $product detects when a person sinks, meaning seconds after she or he stopped breathing

Detecting people that have gotten lungs full of water and are unconscious at the bottom of a pool is better than not detecting that, but it doesn't sound like pool guard or proper parenting can be replaced just yet, even if it might be a helpful last-resort aid.

PFDs are a safety device, they’re great. If you think your child might be unsupervised, putting one on is safer than not. But as a teaching aide, they’re terrible.

Yeah I'm not sure I understand the problem; the US is a free market, there are a lot of investors and a lot of engineers out there, why aren't there competitors putting John Deere out of business with products that the farmers do want?

Or are JD tractors so far ahead of any competition that their customers just suck it up? There has to be some anti-competitive lock-in for that to be a thing.

maybe this is a joke, but really, no. Car AIs don't encounter trolley problems, because the trolley in the trolley problem is ALREADY out of control and unable to stop (besides the turning lever). If the Car AI is in a situation where it might lose control of the car, it should decide that it isn't safe to drive. Asking a car to be altruistic means the car is making value judgements about what's better to hit, which means there's a mode where the car decides to hit something. The car should not be allowed to decide to hit something, or even swerve wildly out of the way. It should drive at a slow enough speed that it can safely stop for reasonably encountered circumstances. And if someone teleports in front of your car, it should just try (and fail) to stop in time.
I'm thinking this is primarily point to point, not suitable for showering an area in sweet bits.

I don't know about it feeling empty and strangely hollow. I've sung in plenty of very large cathedral spaces, and even when they're packed with people they're still immensely resonant, sometimes to the detriment of the music - singers often prefer smaller spaces where the sound doesn't get lost in an acoustic bathtub. And as another commenter pointed out, there never would have been rows of pews in the Hagia Sophia like in a western church.

"Pretty normal", don't you?
Arm floaties are a crutch that ought never be used. If your kid isn't strong enough to swim on their own, don't give yourself the false sense of security that comes with floaties.

As an anecdote, they almost killed a friend's daughter a few years ago.

She had jumped and fallen forward, and her arm floaties moved her buoyancy to her stomach-area, forcing her face into the water. Scary stuff.

She was even in a swimming pool she could stand in.
>putting money in to ETF’s until I have enough in the ETF’s I’m willing to by some individual stocks which may not be as stable as the ETFs I have.

Are those retirement accounts or taxable brokerage. Because for many people, maxing out their IRA, 401K, and HSA is like 35K a year alone, and putting money into taxable brokerage should take a backseat unless 1) you like the gambling for its entertainment factor 2) you choose to keep your short term savings / emergency cash in the market (*I much prefer a combination of 6 months savings invested a little riskier than it should be + a large line of credit. Then you have the choice of selling stock or borrowing at 10% APR, for something you can hopefully pay off very very soon. A 15K LOC at a credit union is a godsend.) But other than my asterisk, taxable investments are usually an inefficient use of funds. 401K match and HSA are top priorities.

"commercialize the original author's work with the author"
- No, but let me highlight this, any extraction with tabula-py is not commercialized - you can look into the wrapper too :) or even compare the results with tabula-py vs tabulaPro.

Copying the TabulaPro description here, "TabulaPro is a layer on tabula-py library to extract tables from Scan PDFs and Images." - we respect every effort of the contributors & author, never intended to plagiarize.

I understand the misinterpretation here is that we are charging for the open-sourced library because of the name. We already informed author in the email about unpublishing the library, this morning, I just deleted the project and came here to mention it is deleted :)
You can do both. Especially at the beginning of a system's lifecycle and you don't really understand its behavior yet. Lots of times, people wandering by have said hmm, that doesn't seem right… Later, as we learned more, these hunches evolved into more advanced automated alarms.
Why do you want a display of open PRs at all?

I think the fundamental question of all such tools is "Why are we watching this, and what are we looking for," and there are limited but nonzero good reasons to have a display. "Someone should look at open PRs if there are too many" is a bad one - the number doesn't tell you about the urgency of the existing PRs. If you want to respond promptly, respond to all of them promptly.

"We need to know if we're falling behind" is a possible reason to create an alert, not a dashboard. If you really want people to drop what they're doing and triage issues if there are too many, make an alert. If you don't, you'll just get a rectangle that turns red at some point and train people to ignore red rectangles on the board. (Relatedly: I added a pageable alert to my team a few years back to check whether there are a large number of non-pageable alerts, because it usually means something has gone wrong at a low level and we should investigate urgently. It's worked out pretty well, but the alert looks only at tickets created by our monitoring systems, not at tickets created by humans.)

"We need to see if we're getting worse" is a reason to have managers review graphs periodically, not a reason for anyone to stare at a single display. You can't track long-term trends from a status board.

"I need to see what to work on" is a valid reason, but much more useful in the form of a website you can visit on your own computer with links to PRs, not a raw number on a TV screen. (My team has a TV showing open tickets in our queue, both support tickets and automated alert, but we all have an equivalent link locally, too. Showing the names of tickets is useful for "Hey teammate, can you look at the second ticket there? Sounds related to a thing you were working on.")

I'd say there are roughly two useful cases for screens like this. One is to show to internal customers, so they say "oh, service X is yellow, so the slowness I"m seeing isn't just me, I'll do something else for a while." But those screens aren't primarily for the team that owns the product, they're for teams that depend on the product. (Such status boards can be either automated or manual.) The other is to show graphs of various metrics to see abnormal behavior, with the idea that no action is ever triggered by someone looking at the graph, but if you're already investigating something, it's useful to say "Hey, that's funny, this other thing spiked at about the same time even though it's within acceptable limits" and then you have a clue for investigation.
I take the middle seat every time on Southwest (if you aren’t familiar, they don’t have assigned seating). The first ten or so rows of the middle seat always have vacancies deep into the B and even C boarding groups. I think the people who pay for guaranteed early boarding groups are suckers.

Being in the front of the plane is the difference between being stuck in the metal tube for 90 minutes instead of 95 or 100 minutes. The seat is the same size (or as this article points out, it’s sometimes bigger).

Somehow people don't realize the danger that pools possess.

Swimming is one of the few activities that children engage in which can go so wrong as to end up in their death. I would suggest that it is borderline negligence for a parent to put a child in such a dangerous situation without proper precautions (supervision). I wouldn't let a small child I am responsible for go into a pool alone regardless of the presence of lifeguards. Especially not a wave pool.
Most pools they aren't. I worked as a lifeguard at a large public park in the Midwest in High School. We trained with many of the other large public parks in the area. The only flotation devices allowed are US Coast Guard approved lifejackets.
I skipped around, but this basically reinforces my point. The movie doesn't have the clear cut "eat the rich" narrative that people seem to imply. All the families are depicted as parasites. The poor are never excused for fighting amongst themselves.
If you hold the charge constant and capacitance goes down, voltage will go up (U = QC). The energy is (E = U^2C/2), so yes the energy will increase.

That extra energy is coming from your mechanic effort of separating two plates that attract each other.
You know, for some people I think that's true and for others it's not. There is real value in making some data reactive rather than proactive in communication. Knowing current active traffic, open PRs, time til build is done, all that kind of stuff is 'I would like to see it/check it...but I do not want it to interrupt me.'

People who deal with tens of interruptions at that level are clearly not very productive.

On the other hand, for the site returning non-200 or for API issues, that should be an alert, for sure.

Rust Recent and future pattern matching improvements
Slowing down the virus is fine. There is no effective way to do that by hobbling economic growth.

We don’t need quarantines and travel bans and trip cancellations and business shutdowns to slow the virus. These have always been scientifically dubious overreactions. Investing in hospital capacity and contact tracing, on the other hand, makes a lot of sense.

The drastic, economically expensive steps China took didn’t stop the virus from spreading out of (or within) China. Quarantines haven’t been effective anywhere else. There are things we can do to slow the virus, but few of them require massive economic impact.

To monocasa, which I can't reply to:

I agree completely, it really does run everything from start to finish. Sometimes that's what you want, and sometimes you don't. I could break on main as an option, and then start the benchmarking after main. It would include teardown, unless you call _exit() at the end of main.

The compile flags are -O2, no linker GC.
Yes, which is why you shouldn't use wall boards for alerting, only for visualization.

https://demo.monitoror.com/?configUrl=https://monitoror.com/... is full of things that aren't visualizations at all (no graphs, no sense of whether things are abnormal but not past an alerting threshold, etc.) and are in fact alerts (the website is fine, one PR failed, the QA nodes are ... doing something but there isn't enough space to see what is wrong).

If you want some graphs, great. If you want your team to look up every few minutes and poll some graphs (or worse, some colored rectangles) to figure out what they're supposed to be doing, consider that polling is usually the wrong approach.

(To be clear, this is a criticism of the choice of demo data, not of the product overall. A product like this has its uses, but "our alerting system is people looking up at the TV" is not one of them.)
