Interesting take :)

You should read (if you haven't) The State of the Art by Iain M. Banks, particularly the eponymous novella. Summary from the wikipedia page:

"The State of the Art"

At 100 pages long, the title novella makes up the bulk of the book. The novella chronicles a Culture mission to Earth in the late 1970s, and also serves as a prequel of sorts to Use of Weapons by featuring two of that novel's characters, Diziet Sma and the drone Skaffen-Amtiskaw. Here, Sma argues for contact with Earth, to try to fix the mess the human species has made of it; another Culture citizen, Linter, goes native, choosing to renounce his Culture body enhancements so as to be more like the locals; and Li, who is a Star Trek fan, argues that the whole "incontestably neurotic and clinically insane species" should be eradicated with a micro black hole. The ship Arbitrary has ideas, and a sense of humour, of its own.

'Also while I'd been away, the ship had sent a request
on a postcard to the BBC's World Service, asking for
'Mr David Bowie's "Space Oddity" for the good ship
Arbitrary and all who sail in her.' (This from a machine
that could have swamped Earth's entire electro-magnetic
spectrum with whatever the hell it wanted from somewhere
beyond Betelgeuse.) It didn't get the request played. The
ship thought this was hilarious.'[2]

> But something like 90% of the deaths are over 65s

Eyeballing the CDC numbers, it looks closer to 80% of deaths; also, deaths aren't the only serious adverse impact.

> And that's ignoring the whole of/with confusion

The of/with confusion you describe, to the extent it might really be an issue of significance, would further reduce the share of COVID-19 deaths that come from the over-65 group, since the of/with confusion would be higher in that group than younger groups, as your own description (“it had to be something at that age”) implies, further undercutting the point you try to make with your exaggerated description of the concentration of deaths in the over-65 age group.

Also, in any case, its not at all uncommon for people to work past 65, especially in fields that aren't particularly physically arduous; over-65 does not imply retired, even approximately.
Why are such auctions even allowed? Or was this an illegal auction? It seems to me that any respectable auction house has an obligation to ensure that their service is not abused to fence stolen goods.

A generic statement like that is "fine" in my opinion.

But it would become a problem if it turned into violent action or the statements would be more targeted and specific.

TLDR: Reframe the data duplication problem into a business problem.

It's an incredibly tough problem and I haven't seen it solved with technology alone (mind you, I've been working at banks for the last few years and have usually 100k+ databases so projects usually run out of money before all the data is consolidated!)

From a theoretical standpoint, the way to solve this and the holy grail would be a single source that becomes the system of record. Except all applications are now attempting to become the system of record for their domain which they really shouldn't.

There isn't really a tried and tested method to match the records and fix other than to go in there and create pipeline rules that fix it before it's being saved/ingested. Tools like Trifacta could help.

The real way to solve the problem is a competent IT team at both the executive and operator level to create a proper strategy that also is consistently delivering value as the data cleansing exercise is being done. What this means is having mapped out all the systems, prioritize and identify where the business gets most value from the data cleansing exercise and start fixing it there.

The challenge is that data cleansing exercises are usually multi-year projects. At the same time, you're expected from the business to deliver value so you need to figure out the strategy and consistently get and maintain buy-in from the business. Vendors are always touting their latest and greatest which exacerbates the problems further.

I agree. I find i don't always finish a podcast in one sitting, say half of it on my way in to work.

Then I want to listen to music during the day/at the gym etc. But if I use the same thing, then I lose my place in the podcast, and I can't start up again.
I’ve been meaning to get a sense of my day-to-day finances for a while now and I have to say that your site is great. Concise, answers all the obvious questions, and directly compares to the two most popular solutions on the market. Amazing work!

Q: Have you ever considered alternative payment schemes, e.g., student pricing, loyalty pricing (pay $X first year and then $Y for all subsequent years, Y < X)?
Enhancer for YouTube can do that, but you can also do it with simple userscript. The userscript I found somewhere few years ago:

// @author j
// @match *://*/*
// @grant metadata
// ==/UserScript==

document.addEventListener('keydown', function(event) {
var vidz = document.querySelectorAll('video');
function is_text_box(element){
var tagName = element.tagName.toLowerCase();
return tagName === "textarea" || tagName === "input";}
if(is_text_box(event.target))
return false;
vidz.forEach(vidz => {
switch (event.keyCode) {
case 221: // (])
vidz.playbackRate+=0.25;
break;
case 219: // ([)
vidz.playbackRate-=0.25;
break;
case 220: // (\)
vidz.playbackRate = 1;
break;
case 83:
vidz.currentTime+=3;
break;
case 65:
vidz.currentTime-= 3;
break;
}

});
});
They all try and use their strengths to wander into each other’s territory, often unsuccessfully. Both Amazon and FB tried it with phones, for example. I think it’s all just as likely to end in stalemate.

No, only supporting data: "Your profile, settings, and contacts will restore when you reinstall Signal."
I don't think most people would have a problem if he simply switched YT for Spotify. It's the exclusive part (ie. no more RSS based mp3 feeds, as in, the "podcast" part of the show) that people complain about.
I think the old addage "look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves" really applies.

Some people don't seem to mind not really tracking their spending down to an extremely granular level (ie everything) because they make so much money that small outgoings on their bank account are worthless, or they have to dedicate their time to their family and can't be bothered to track it.

That seems odd to me because they could be paying for things they don't need, or odd subscriptions they really could live without. Small subscription services rely on you not noticing the "small" amounts, but many small items make a big item.

I think a spreadsheet to track everything is really helpful to ensure that you are only spending what you need to spend, particularly if you wish to simplify your lifestyle (work less!) and do your proposed lifestyle 2 (need less money to live).
Well, if it turns out to be "just another community" then that won't interest me or most of the people, imo.

If it is around a specific niche, then it's a different thing.
The author seems to be have written this post based on work for an in-browser video editor (https://videoinu.com/editor). It runs completely on the client-side, so all the editing, previewing, rendering, and exporting is done using web technologies. Of course, it's not comparable to a professional editing tools but nevertheless that's very impressive achievement in my opinion!

Python sum() can handle summing up other data structures, although, as with foldl, you may have to give it an initial accumulator argument:

>>> import numpy as np
>>> xs = np.arange(9).reshape((3,3))
>>> xs
array([[0, 1, 2],
[3, 4, 5],
[6, 7, 8]])
>>> sum(xs) # builtin sum, not numpy sum
array([ 9, 12, 15])
>>> sum([[3, 11], [5]], [])
[3, 11, 5]
>>> sum([(3, 11), (5,)], ())
(3, 11, 5)

However, that doesn't work for strings; there's a special-case check for that.
Your making it sound like a child throwing a tantrum. People committing acts of civil/uncivil disobedience put in far more thought and nuance, than you're giving them credit for. Sometimes they are buffoons. Sometimes they aren't. People act in all sorts of ways for all sorts of reasons.

I wish people didn't do this, not any more. Getting a full-time job (even on F1 STEM extension) had been increasingly difficult to get pre-coronavirus, even if you were pretty smart. I've had many employers reject even looking at my application because of potential visa issues, and big cos who can handle the visa process have a very hit-or-miss interview process. And this is just for software jobs; the going gets a lot tougher for people in non-software STEM fields.

Unless you can easily afford 2 years of tuition + living expenses and/or get full-ride scholarships, it is time to seriously reconsider going to the US to study. Almost all random events like the virus (and even known, regular events like political elections) are always going to make things even more difficult than they already are.

Ya I don't want to make it out to be more than it is. It's certainly not an oppressive police state. But is it chilling speech a bit at the margin? I'm not sure that the answer is yes, but i'm also not sure that the answer is no, and that is concerning to me.
Only in Python 3, not Python 1 or Python 2.
The point is that it's unnecessary. The cost of such a reliable machine is far too high. It's better to have a bunch of cheap machines and program some failover system.

It's like the actor model. It's better for an actor to just fail instead of trying and recovering. Just make sure another actor can take its place and that the failures are isolated from each other. By using this method, you avoid the enormous cost it takes to make something very reliable. It's the 80/20 problem.

Let's say we have a service than whenever it handles a requests has a 80% chance of succeeding and a 20% chance of dying. The easy way to lower the chance of failing is to just have two services that handle the same request. If one fails, the other one might succeed. Using this strategy, we've now just lowered our failure rate to 4%, instead of 20%, with very little additional work. The cost of making only one service have a 4% failure rate (instead of 20%) is so much higher than a service that has a 20% failure rate.

This is the perfect analogy, imo, for mainframes. So much effort and cost has gone into making these things super reliable. But it turns out, we don't actually need a super reliable system. For example, NYSE ditched it's mainframes a long time ago, because just using x86_64 and Linux to achieve the reliability needed is much cheaper and easier. And you would be hard pressed to find a company that needs as much reliability as a security exchange. If mainframes aren't worth it for NYSE (the mainframe apologists would say that NYSE is exactly the kind of company that needs mainframes the most), then they probably aren't worth it for anyone at all.
I was a bit flummoxed right at the first example. You bought something at a bakery, so the balance in your credit card increased? It's right there in the increased column. Surely it decreased to a larger negative number? (Credit card accounts are almost always negative, although mine occasionally goes slightly positive when I pay it off and round up to the next pound.)

And why are the columns different to the example shown later for the checking account (or current account, as we say here in the UK)? You've got "increase" and "decrease" vs "deposit" and "withdrawal". Obviously you're likely to use your credit card and checking account in substantially different ways, but surely the fundamentals of transferring money in and out is similar enough that they ought to look the same in your finance software?
Is it though? I use a password manager. I recently found out that I had saved the PIN for my Signal account into it, but since it was never integrated with Signal I immediately changed it when I needed Signal later and I even forgot I had set up a PIN.

Sure, that doesn't mean there is/was no better way to make this change. To provide more options for users, etc.

I'm simply saying that the PIN prompt worked for me over the last months (I successfully memorized it), and now with the new UI it prompted me to fill it with Keepass for Android. (And that's how I found the old PIN in Keepass.)
>An ad model that favors something like the NY Times can't be the better model.

It absolutely can, let me count the ways:

1. You are never, ever on a bad site - no matter how good Google et al are, bad things happen. If avoiding that matters, NY Times is a smart move.

2. You don't pay for the AdTech - everyone know who the NY Times readers are - is spending 40%-60% to overcome the problems of mass advertising better than splitting the difference with NY Times?

3. AdFraud - NY Times can charge rates and using methods that are more fraud resistant (e.g. get rid of CPM).
To me, the lower contrast of the "better" boxes makes them "worse". My eye keeps trying to find the edge of the box and failing; I begin to wonder why the content is in the box to begin with.
This is amazing. I really am sold on your self-depreciating humor.

In this case, the media was using the self reporting data to claim that Florida had Covid-19 cases as early as December (and it's this that Florida was supposedly firing her for refusing to cover up): https://www.miamiherald.com/news/state/florida/article242480... Needless to say, people self-reporting Covid-19 symptoms that early is the most unreliable self-reporting data of all due to the low or maybe even zero number of genuine cases and the much larger prevalence of things like the flu. If I remember rightly, researchers have tried serology tests on people who thought they had it that early and found that basically none of them had.

if you have the same issue waiting for signal 4.60. might be the way to go. Should be due to release soonish according to github issues.
That's an interesting scenario. Does the well known large enterprise have a venture arm? We see a plethora of corporate venture firms who are intrigued by what we're working on. For us to work with them to get access to a larger customer base seems appealing but I wonder if it would create issues later down the line.
What you're forgetting is that all of those SaaS tools came about to improve (or replace) some of the existing Microsoft products that did not live up to the expectations of the modern corporate world:

Trello -> MS Project

Tableau -> MS SSRS

Airtable -> SharePoint Lists & Workflow
Look, I'm not saying saying we should "trust" Microsoft not to Embrace, Extend, Extinguish if they could - but they can't and they know it, so that's not their strategy. EEE was hinged entirely on the dominance of Windows and IE for the Extinguish phase. They won on desktop, but today most of the action has moved to mobile (where Windows lost completely to iOS and Android) and webservers (where Linux is massively dominant). In those domains, they are no longer the 500 pound gorilla in the room, they're the "hey, fellow kids" oldtimer trying to fit in and get in on a piece of the action. Look at a comp sci class in the last decade, and you'll see 1/2-2/3rds of them with MacBook Pros in their laps, because it compiles iOS apps and it's a *nix so it easily runs most of the same tools as a linux webserver. That's what WSL is about, trying to win back developers. That's why they bought Xamarin and Github. That's why they released VS Code. They're trying to win back developers by meeting them whereever they are, even if they know they are targeting platforms where Microsoft is not dominant and has no hope of becoming so. They're trying to make it feasible to target a linux webserver while developing on Windows. They're trying to make Azure a serious contender for cloud computing outside of the corporate C# world. There's not a realistic scenario where they become dominant enough on those platforms to execute any kind of Extinguish move. And they don't need to - there's still tons of money to be made with just a slice of the cloud pie. I think EEE went out the window along with Balmer and the 'Windows First' doctrine. I'm not saying they wouldn't, but I'm saying they can't and they know it, and they're ok with that.

All this is not to say that there's any reason for upstream to accept any bad patches that rely too much on proprietary code. But in this case, I think the analysis of the underlying motivations for that patch was outdated.
The bank I'm using has 2FA for all actions performed in the website, so that's my guess as to why they don't prioritize fixing the lame password requirement.
It's a bit looser than that -- 1000 mph _and_ above 60,000 ft, while also being unmanned.

Apparently (that is, according to Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Positioning_System#Rest...
) some systems implement the restriction as an "or" but the regs (https://web.archive.org/web/20080916123933/http://www.armsco... item 11 category II) don't require that.
This is always mentioned as motivation factor, yet Self, Smalltalk, Dylan, Julia, Common Lisp, JavaScript are just as dynamic and manage to have a good set of JITs to choose from.

For example in Smalltalk you can completely change the structure of a given class across the whole process space, thus invalidating everything that the JIT tried to optimize.

So no, Python isn't any special snowflake, rather there isn't the willingness to actually spend the resources improving its JIT story.
Here's an update and perhaps a broader perspective:

https://www.miamiherald.com/news/coronavirus/article24285125...

> “Rebekah Jones exhibited a repeated course of insubordination during her time with the department, including her unilateral decisions to modify the department’s COVID-19 dashboard without input or approval from the epidemiological team or her supervisors,” Ferré said. “The blatant disrespect for the professionals who were working around the clock to provide the important information for the COVID-19 website was harmful to the team. Accuracy and transparency are always indispensable, especially during an unprecedented public health emergency such as COVID-19. Having someone disruptive cannot be tolerated during this public pandemic, which led the department to determine that it was best to terminate her employment.”

So, depending on what you choose to believe at this point, you could also consider the possibility that she was making modifications to inflate the numbers and exaggerate the problem.
