Well of course it isn't "more thuggish." The use of "thug" was done on purpose. It is a known racist dog whistle. Trump's racist followers know exactly what he means when he says "These THUGS are..." They replace that with the n word. It's just as a society we don't allow them to say the n word any more, so they've replaced it with a myriad of dog whistles.

What I'm saying is that, in their minds, every single person in that mob is a "thug," and everything they're doing is (in your words) "thuggish."

But the mob of white folks in Charlottesville? Nothing thuggish there. That's just white folks protesting against being oppressed by minorities.
A WhatsApp number would be the phone number to which a user has tied their WhatsApp, for cases in which users have multiple phones and multiple phone numbers, not all of which are accessible beyond SMS.
Thanks, that's interesting. Buddhist meditation aims to give similar insights but apparently goes even deeper & is more sustainable long-term. Lots of at least anecdotal evidence that this is really useful. The "downside" is the learning curve & initial difficulty..

I believe the person in question has crossed the line long time ago.

And Twitter should improve their fact-checking and restricting algorithms and apply it all the time.
I dont think your claim is logical. It is not logical to assume that newer means better for everyone. The return to office can be rational move back after doing move that made things worst.

This is confusing own subjective preference and own evaluation shortcut with "objectively better".

And I am saying that as someone who plans to work more from home after covid ends.
The Boston Tea Party was a deliberate provocation. If the protesters here are trying to incite a violent revolution, I suppose that's their right in some sense, but all of us who don't want a revolution have a right to be put out by it.
I think I’d be upset that this happened, but I’d lie the blame on the feet of the original people in authority who decided not to investigate and bring into custody someone who had killed a man on camera while people were begging him for mercy.
someone created something that they'd like to make a little money off of, while still taking very extensive steps to make it available, extensible, and prevent lock in. they chose a path to profit with all of these goals in mind. you're demanding an awful lot for something that "improves extensibility by even 0.0000001%". in the spectrum between "i want to extract money from the users of this product" and "i want this product to be used as the users see fit", i would say this product's goals lean towards the latter.

please don't say the wording is the problem. "as extensible as possible" is fine. "as possible" is a qualifier, it clearly means "as extensible as possible without undermining other goals". you're pretending that they've promised to make it extensible at the expense of _everything_ else, and that assumption in context in unfounded.

it's true that paths to monetization exist for open source software, but they usually aren't accessible to an individual developer who is building a small bootstrapped side-project to generate small amounts of passive income.
A rebellion is different, if you have to deploy the military because people have overpowered the police then it is no longer just a normal crime scene. Normally people would just disperse when that happens, but if they tried to attack the military in the same way they attack the police then what would you expect?
According to CNN's timeline the police asked them to move at 5:09 AM, the reporter asked where they wanted them, at 5:11 AM the police arrested them. The reporter was not given the chance to follow directions.

A bit off-topic question: why do people use "parsing" instead of "lexing" or "tokenization" for denoting the analysis of strings from regular languages; considering lexing is just a trivial sub-case of parsing anything that includes the regular languages?

Perhaps more on topic: I think this can be even faster if one is willing to offload the heavy lifting to an FPGA, here's a result from 2016: https://www.miraclelinux.com/labs/pdf/fpga-en
Nope, not working for me, not from a politician tasked with the security of the nation.

Just recently a famous comedian suggested injecting him with an air filled syringe, what did Twitter do there?

Twitter has gone and lost their minds. Bring on the down votes I guess.
As someone with lots of experience porting stuff to AIX, this is fairly accurate. AIX takes a malicious compliance stance to POSIX.

The worst part is that the AIX compatibility layer IBM created for i is closer to Unix normalcy than AIX itself.
From out of nowhere it jumps into a list of problems with cron being cron. I kind of see your point.
If the cops decide to murder your spouse via a knee to the throat, would you be okay with that?
Get to know some black people and talk to them about their experiences. The chances that race were a factor in this arrest are better than 50%.
To be fair, France still don't fully know what to do with radioactive waste.

We're kinda good at recycling it (so, indeed not the horrifying process your [1] describes), but the final non reusable waste is in fact just stored where it's produced, waiting for better ideas on what to do with it, so it's not exactly ideal. There are a dozen of publicly funded current research projets on that, so let's cross fingers.
Overall, I'd say that our policies are pretty solid to get us towards a good solution in the best possible shape, but I wouldn't say that France got the answer yet.

(Also, old plants deconstruction is a planned problem with currently no planned solutions.)
The cost-benefit is not that clear-cut. Attempting to protect material at the cost of civil unrest, likely wounded protesters and police officers, possibly even more death. Sounds like taking a step back might have been the best of all the bad options.
The police should not, if possible, kill people to stop them from looting, even if they are destroying property. This is fundamental to civilization.

>I would expect the distribution of opinions expressed online to reflect the actual distribution of opinions actually held by the population.

You're assuming most people are tolerant of racist and bigoted content and don't mind seeing a constant stream of it, but when the Nazis show up, their discourse tends to drive everyone else away if they aren't banned. That's why they tend to take over communities where, in theory all sorts of opinions are welcome.

I am in agreement that waiting to do something is foolish, but I can see why they did not wait any longer.
No..he actually can't

The US is a federated country. The governors of the states have the ability to call in the National Guard to protect their state if they can not use Local/State law enforcement.

If and ONLY if that doesn't work can the State Legislature/Gov formally ask the President for help by calling on the Insurrection Act.

It's actually one of the core tenets of federalism.
Quick heads up, just updated:

So, in case "npx neo-app" does not work in your env, you can just clone the workspace and go from there.

Well, so do you censor things like Dr Dre’s 187 because it might be interpreted as inciting violence against (corrupt) police? A public figure of renown among fans.

I wonder if the "Lottery ticket hypothesis" work can be applied to this model to further shrink the number of parameters by 10x, to bring it closer to Google's T5 but with higher accuracy?

You presume any action outside of a near meaningless executive order will get off the ground.

I'll make another bold prediction. This is Trump huffpuff and Twitter won't be going anywhere.
> He is the commander in chief. He has the capability to threaten violence.

Not to Americans nor on American soil he doesn't. Because of the 4th amendment and the Posse Commitus act.

> the National Guard is not going to do that.

Who is controlled by the Minnesota governor. Trump has no legal authority to threaten protestors with the Minnesota national guard.
Instructions from some random cop are not laws
and should have restricting not only violence glorifying posts, but also the ones with racial or sexual discrimination and all the others.

Do you think tweets that make derogatory references to Karen's or "tech-bros" should be deleted?

Should a Tweet that says, "There will be no peace as long as there is no justice for the centuries of white supremacy and centuries white people oppressing all other peoples." be banned? What about a Tweet saying, "There will be no peace as long as their is no justice of centuries of Jewish puppet-mastery and Jews oppressing all other peoples"?

I'm OK with restricting racist and sexist posts in the public square -- as long as the censorship is applied equally to all ethnicities and sexes. And if the censorship was applied equally, a lot of Tweets from "anti-racist" activists would need to be censored.
Golden shower for taxpayers!
Your comment was removed because it's advocating for violence.
They can.

The process is Local Police, State Police, Gov calls in National Guard, Gov goes to State legislature, State then asks President for help.
I've tried to use Airflow but was way more complicated than I expected. I just want to run a couple hundred jobs, why do I need a database? Surely a few files would suffice.

It seems a big gap in the market. I can't rely on cron as its a single point of failure. I have my own hardware so dont want to use AWS Batch or GCP Cloud Scheduler, any other ideas?
Remote learning is a model for the future of education
In part 1 they talk about everything being a function including react components and closures. But I come from the "closure is a poor mans object and a function is a poor mans closure" perspective. In other words everything is an object. This is most likely because I started programming in the early 90s when first-class functions were not that common in popular languages (C had function pointers but it wasn't pretty)

But either way it works fine. Everything is a first class 'thing' that has properties that can be parameterised. If the 'thing' is an object the properties are alive and can be mutated (if mutable) for the lifetime of the object. If the 'thing' is a function the properties (arguments and local vars) are alive for the duration of the call.

When first class functions became mainstream though, I couldn't really understand the idea that they were fundamentally new compared to objects (in fairness this was only put forth by a few people)
Happy user of Prefect here. I prefer it for being more programmable and able to run on Dask. If you just want dynamic distributable DAGs and not necessarily an "ops" appliance feel (like Airflow), check them out: https://docs.prefect.io/core/getting_started/why-not-airflow...

Not knocking Airflow, it is great. Luigi too.
The legacy policies are disabled because they are not authorized for usage by regulations (NIST and co).

Old large organization are compliance and process oriented. They run security audits that scan machines, finding X version of software that's end of life and Y cipher that's insecure, then raise control breaks to the systems owners to resolve.
No, certainly not. Everyone, up to and including Trump, is very unhappy about that incident.
People in the US will say the First allows him say such things. They'd be wrong.
I disagree that Twitter has been missing "fact checking". Instead I think the problem was bots.

Take an obviously absurd political viewpoint, which nowadays has to be really absurd. Here's an example: Tom Cruise should be president of the United States. Scientology will make America great again.

Sounds pretty fucking absurd, right? But throw in 50 million bots on Twitter and Instagram pretending to be Americans who think Tom Cruise should be president, and now your once absurd view point simply becomes "the other side of the aisle." It's of course all fake.

Unfortunately this exploits the minds of otherwise kind hearted people that do really want to give you a chance to hear you out. It is how democracy should work after all. But the current reality is this "other side" is basically just white supremacists. Full stop. They're not all rotten people, plenty of them were goaded into embracing the hatred because the internet, and all those fucking bots, makes it look normal

WW2 taught us to shut down Nazis right away. Zuckerberg and Dorsey have utterly failed as Americans.
Have to agree with all of the disagreements to this. The 404 is a 404 for a reason, just like 301 and 302 are different for a reason. It's not uncommon though for WordPress to do things like this, or blogs for that matter. If an author changes the title or date of their post, and the URL structure is reliant on those two pieces of data, then the URL will change. The old URL is preserved in a DB and if accessed again, 301s to the newly named resource. Others, will throw a 404 and give a cutesey Levenshtein message, "did you mean x?" at which the user can decide to go to the new resource. It's all circumstantial... It shouldn't be enforced.

Re: Google and PageRank, pretty certain they've addressed this and recognize 302 and 301s and treat them the same. Previously, this was an issue.

There're so many alternatives to Airflow nowadays that you really need to make sure that Airflow is the best solution (or even a solution) to your use case. There's plenty of use cases better resolved with tools like Prefect or Dagster, but I suppose the inertia to install the tool everyone knows about is really big.

BTW, here's https://github.com/pditommaso/awesome-pipeline a list of almost 200 pipeline toolkits.
A protest against a citizen who had his life taken without due process of law is getting out of hand.

Doing the same on a much larger scale is not going to improve any situation whatsoever. It will be the exact opposite of a deterrent to others.
The mayor told the police to do the one thing that could’ve stopped all of this: arrest the murderer.

100% of this is happening because police continue to refuse to arrest police.
I would call any group of people who burns down a police station, or breaks into a Target and starts stealing stuff, thuggish. The mob of white folks in Charlottesville did not, as far as I know, do these things.

Harsh words, but at the end of the day, people will defend their property with a gun and have every right in doing so.

It's used in APIs, just not user-facing documents (or rather would-be documents). Too late for that though, while laymen pretty much get '404', introducing a subtly different numeric code to co-exist would be a bit much, I think. And also pretty worthless, anecdotally I think actually displaying big '404' text is on a downward trend, probably because of the prevalence of SPAs/webapps in general.
Airflow is a great example of technology being used at a massive company for massive company problems...which is now being pushed as a solution to everything

Papermill is another example.
In the late 90s on efnet's #computers we used to say "don't get a maxtor, just write your data to a dead fish instead. It's cheaper, and you have about the same chance of reading your data back."

Quite the contrary: if the _resource_ still exists but in the older site, the redirection will point the browser to the other location. OP's stratagem is doing exactly what it's supposed to do (if the identifier of a page is its path and not the full URL of course)
I use Airflow, and am a big fan. I don't think it's particularly clear, however, as to when to use airflow.

The single best reason to use airflow is that you have some data source with a time-based axis that you want to transfer or process. For example, you might want to ingest daily web logs into a database. Or maybe you want weekly statistics generated on your database, etc.

The next best reason to use airflow is that you have a recurring job that you want not only to happen, but to track it's successes and failures. For example, maybe you want to garbage-collect some files on a remote server with spotty connectivity, and you want to be emailed if it fails for more than two days in a row.

Beyond those two, Airflow might be very useful, but you'll be shoehorning your use case into Airflow's capabilities.

Airflow is basically a distributed cron daemon with support for reruns and SLAs. If you're using Python for your tasks, it also includes a large collection of data abstraction layers such that Airflow can manage the named connections to the different sources, and you only have to code the transfer or transform rules.

I love this. How to keep a working older printer going and make it useful!
I like to remind people the brilliant CGI work in Jurassic Park and Toy Story was contemporary to the cheeseball CGI in made for TV movies. People can guess what's made on a computer in Toy Story, but they never knew the well-done stuff trying to be realistic was done in part or in whole on computers.

The late '90s were especially big here because computers and tools were getting so cheap. The same tech that let big space battles happen in Deep Space 9 and Babylon 5 also made stuff that...did not age so well.
That's an interesting approach. For these "win printers" that need host-side processing, another solution is this generic HBPL cups driver: https://github.com/mikerr/foo2zjs

Yes, genetic programming arguably goes back to Turing which is way back in the day, but the term superoptimizer goes back to Henry Masselin's 1987 paper, Superoptimizer - a look at the smallest program.

That's not the point in this specific scenario -- noting this as "importantly" indicates you believe this is no big deal.

People are often arrested and released without charge. It's a tactic to get people out of a situation and sort it out later. I would have expected no less.

Arresting a news crew reporting on an event like this breaks significant norms (and possibly laws?).

A few years ago my father had a similar problem so I "emulated" the drivers by firing up a VirtualBox machine with Windows XP, which had them, because the printer was from that era.

1. So suspending rights and allowing cops/the military to be the judge, jury and executioner is somehow okay? These are citizens, no matter how your thinly veiled racism is clearly making you think they're not.
