Yes. Looting hurts people that have nothing to do with the protests. Protecting them should be highest priority.

I totally agree with the protests but I think looting is wrong and unproductive and hurts their own cause.
Building an on-device face mask detector
To be clear here: Looting is not a capital offense. It's stuff. No TV/car/stereo is worth killing a person over. You have insurance for these things (hopefully).

Though laws vary widely in the US, in CA the punishment is about a year in county jail, give or take:

There is strong evidence of this, summarized: https://www.outsideonline.com/2380751/sunscreen-sun-exposure...

Huge inverse correlation between Vitamin D and all-cause mortality -- but almost complete failure of vitamin D supplementation vs. cancer, heart disease and stroke. What?

Turns out that sunlight produces vitamin D -- and a host of other difficult to detect artifacts, which seem to be at the root of the reduction in all-cause mortality.

Seems interesting. Or, carry on -- I'm sure there's nothing to see here, and your pasty-white overweight doctor's advice to avoid sun exposure is right...
I wish clicking on a pin showed a photo of the billboard.
That wasn't a comment about the thing in the article. It was a comment about why 404s can be useful.
"Just" focusing on one nutrient isn't the answer. But sufficient Vitamin D is important. It is something we should pay attention to.

Health is complex. No one is advocating ignoring all the other aspects of immune system function by paying attention to vitamin D.

[Update] I see you have toned down your comment since I started composing this response. We are in agreement.
Yes, that is what happened. I never said otherwise or disagreed.

The arrested crew did not move. They asked for clarification and were arrested. That’s wrong.

But the crew that was not arrested did move. They didn’t ask for clarification, the just moved then went back to reporting.

The accusation above is that the white, Latino and black guy were arrested because the reporter is black. Is there anything to support that?
Have you ever had an encounter with the police in China, North Korea, or Russia as a black person?

way way worse.
Sufficient levels of Vitamin D are good for your health in general, separate from this pandemic. Getting sufficient levels of it is something we all should’ve been doing before anyways, which is not true of Chloroquine.
Even if the documentation was public, there's no guarantee anyone would take the time to get drivers working on ARM in modern Linux.

I actually think emulation is a good long-term solution for legacy applications. My NES rom of Super Mario Brothers is probably the most cross-platform and future-proof piece of software on my computer, because every platform has an NES emulator! You write (or port) an emulator once per platform, and suddenly the whole NES library opens up.
It seems like it. They've also been advertising heavily on NPR member stations and podcasts.

My neighbour was 'arrested' by two men in police uniform, they later murdered him, burned his body, threw remains in the river and sold his car for parts. Him family only found out after the car parts showed up in repair shops.

So not everyone in uniform is a police officer.
In addition to what the others have said, we've had good experience with Windows 10 IoT on Raspberry Pi 3B (a few dozen units deployed in daily use) for some sensor data capture applications.

However, based on our experiences with the Pi 3B+ and Microsoft's promise to get an update out "real soon now" (probably over year late at this point), we've concluded that Microsoft is not serious about Windows on the Pi. So we decided to not do any more development on the RPi Win10 IoT platform, and move future development to .NET Core running on Linux which they seem far more enthusiastic about supporting.
They're highly organized. I think perhaps a better word for their actions is "unjustified," or if you're feeling less charitable, "unjustifiable."
There are so many medical questions that can only be answered definitively with large-scale, years-long randomized experiments.

Nice job offering something for free. I'm not as skeptical as some here; looks like you just wanted to build something useful for people and it's not going to cost too much to provide it. At the very least, it's a great project to have under your belt, with real customers, etc. Could help landing jobs, for sure!

I had to figure out how to handle my contact form on my static blog recently, and I decided to simply write a form handler with Go and deploy it on Google's Cloud Functions. It's free for now (and probably always will be considering the fact that I'll probably never receive more than ~10 form submissions per month anyways). The function takes awhile to spin up cold, but it doesn't matter too much. I like it because the code is simple and I "own" the service.

Curious to hear what other static site admins have decided to use for their forms.

I run lpd on a raspberry pi to share my printer. I used to share it to Windows hosts with samba but then I realized Windows supports lpd printers. (As does Mac and anything Unix-like.)

I am probably 20 years late in saying this, but I honestly don't know why cups is a thing. lpd works fine and has always struck me as simpler. It's smaller with fewer dependencies. This config is way more complicated than mine. Any time people talk about Unix printing they always assume you mean cups.
How is it legal for a police offer to arrest someone without any warning, without even telling them why they're being arrested, and without probable cause? What are the repercussions for these officers for falsely arresting people? Do they suffer any consequences, or do they suffer no punishment for this injustice?

This is extremely disturbing, and further evidence that the U.S. is a police state. I've never felt more ashamed of my country.
Trump is just a big bully who loses courage when he gets pushback. Look at how nice he is to the North Korea guy while constantly bashing and demonizing other leaders of democratic countries.

This varies from company to company for the most part. You have some standardized formats such as business process maps and use-case diagrams. I can't remember the name of the free tool we used in my BPM class, but there are tools out there that follow a standard.

My recommendation is to find documentation for an existing system that you find helpful and easy to understand, then use that as an outline for creating your documentation.
I'm not commenting on this particular case, since we don't have all of the facts yet, but it should only take seconds to comply with a lawful order, not minutes.
This is why I like the guitar/bass over the piano, because these relationships show themselves when you play. On a piano, if you go from C to E# the hand shape is totally different than A to C, even though the intervals are the same, so this relationship isn't intuitive.
I'm not a fan either, but I think we have to acknowledge that it's an attempt to address a real problem. There really are areas where people regularly try to engage in petty crime, and the government has a duty to address that.
"Bike locks" is click-bait style misleading that BBC has adopted more and more.

Tubular tumbler locks.

I first saw them on computer cases in the 80s. They became popular (UK) on bike locks in the 90s as they were perceived as relatively secure. Then there was a famous hack where you could use a biro tube to open them - that would be around the time the BBC page says they stopped using those locks for nukes.

The same locks were used on filling cabinets and such.

You needed, we thought, a special tool to pick locks of this sort, until the "biro hack" came out (though I was young and didn't know about locks then).

Ok, that would be a better response. The point still holds true for things that a link is pointing at but aren't found for other reasons though - for example, if a storage server has failed.
"Helping CNN get a nice camera shot" is something you read into this.

Asking where to move to is a reasonable question to ask the police. Arrest is not a reasonable response.
Ironically there are papers suggesting that blood pressure and cholesterol medication is bad for people if they get Covid.
> I wouldn't call it unreasonable. They were told to clear the streets. They didn't actually clear the street. They stayed on the street. Reporters not following directions.

It was recorded, you know. You can watch it yourself. They were asked to move, they asked where they should move to, and instead of being told where to go they were arrested.
This might be helpful for the context. Mark Zuckerburg went to Fox News and Trump tweeted about how Facebook will not do the same. Zuckerburg also had Xi Jinping's book on his desk at some point.
> These companies aren’t arbitrarily choosing to educate people remotely. They’re adapting to the situation.

That doesn't really matter though. Like, it sucks, but they're giving a much shittier product and charging full price. Your example about people being less productive is not relevant because there's no doubt that the quality of education is much worse.

I'm not sure that Slack is a proper term of comparison for Telegram. A closer competitor would probably be WhatsApp, and Telegram Desktop easily beats the "desktop" version of WhatsApp on every single aspect. The only reason I'm still using WhatsApp is due to the fact that that's what all the people I know use.
I hate to have anything even vaguely in common with Trump, but there is some sense in this.

The platforms have been shadow-banning (a particularly egregious policy), censoring, and otherwise shaping the content on their sites for a good while now.

At the same time they claim to be merely a 'pipe', conecting content producers, and consumers.

They can't have it both ways.

This 'executive order' is obviously a spiteful, and frankly, unbelievable-that-it's-legal move by this, man, but there is still a germ of truth to it.

For me, tagging content, but still making it generally available, is far less sinister than disappearing it, or only presenting it to profiled users, etc, etc.

IMHO.
I mean, there's being a leader of a group involved in a riot and then there's a reporting crew. If one of them is standing in place with a microphone and film equipment and explaining the situation in monotone while calmly asking what they need to do to comply, it's pretty clear which one they are.

The wording there with him seeming to be the leader of the group sounds like an anthropologist finding a completely unknown tribe of people. At any time, the police could've just used their words, instead of being silent, surrounding the entire group, then suddenly arresting one person and waiting a full 2 minutes (precisely two minutes) before simultaneously arresting the others.
> How is it legal for a police offer to arrest someone without any warning, without even telling them why they're being arrested, and without probable cause?

Cops can hold you for some amount of time, generally around 24 hours without cause.

> What are the repercussions for these officers for falsely arresting people?

None

> Do they suffer any consequences, or do they suffer no punishment for this injustice?

No punishment.

> KubernetesExecutor runs each task in an individual Kubernetes pod. Unlike CeleryCelery, it spins up worker pods on demand, hence enabling maximum usage of resources.

You'll probably use up a lot of resources indeed, depending on how big your tasks are you will have quite some overhead to run each and every one in a seperate pod, compared to running them in a Celery Multiprocessing "thread" on an already running worker container.
It’s really a shame that with a company of this size and importance we don’t enjoy a newsletter like “Shannon Knows DEC”. I’d love to get an inside perspective about current events at google from someone with deep contacts and a real understanding of the business.

I always thought this was an odd formality due to the asymmetry; if an employer is terminating you, they generally won't give you a 2 week notice, at least in the USA.

Solid idea. I think he mentioned that to me and I didn't take it in fully that other people could monitor WHAT people on Upwork wanted without wanting to work for them.
Rust is probably the most mainstream language that uses affine types. Once you call a function that takes ownership of a value (e.g., `drop`), the compiler won't let you use it anymore after the function call.

Cannot be the right call. The tax payers lose in the coverage and they lose in the lawsuit.

Having police officers paid so little that you put up with 18 violations, or willfully ignore them out of comraderie is fundamentally a system that is not sustainable or worth having pride over.
It's become clear time and again that they never open themselves up to actual liability. But it would be interesting to hear how wide the gap is between law and reality in this case.
Of course we can’t know, but the police are giving bogus explanations so it’s hard to give them good faith. They would probably do the same if they arrested a white crew.

The larger story is that there is close to zero accountability for police in this country. At least a small minority of cops are racist and violent and use the opportunity to murder citizens and other police will not speak out.

I've maintained link integrity for a long time on my personal site using a similar tactic, however for me anyhow the new Wordpress version of the site had very little URL overlap with the old version so I just converted the old PHP version to static HTML and and set up nginx to serve both. When I migrate off WordPress, I expect I'll maintain a similar approach. No reason to maintain an older version of the site which could have security issues.

'Step' has a specific meaning in music and it doesn't mean 'semitone'. Why not just use semitone seeing as that precisely describes what's intended? Conflating meanings seems like it could be confusing. "The tritone of this note is 6 steps up" "Gotcha, so the tritone of C is B" "No no, by step I currently mean tones, not semitones" "Ah, so 3 scale tones, ok" "No just 3 tones, or 6 steps" "Ok, I'll count 6 steps, 1,2,3,4..."...just use the correct word.

Right. There are around 100 vaccines in development. We have vaccines that have created binding antibodies in primates already. We have some that have been given to humans and produced antibodies as well.

Even pessimistically assuming 90% fail, you end up with 10 vaccines.

Doing this as a consumer and doing this as a webmaster are different processes.

As a webmaster, if it's at all possible to go static (whatever your flavor of that is), then do that. A static website is easy to host and keep forever, and it's usually easy for consumers to archive too.

Not to hate on PHP, but keeping older PHP sites around securely has become a major undertaking. You can't safely run a wordpress site that hasn't been updated in 5 years because your security vulnerabilities are exposed to the wide web. If your static site generator has security flaws.. well that doesn't affect your current build artifacts and you can still run the thing in secure ways.
That would be my intuition too. And I don't really have any source to back it up, but to me ads and marketing firms are gonna be hit hard indirectly.

My company is directly impacted by all the shutdowns because we sell things, in stores, to people. So yeah, times are tough. But ads and marketing budget is the first thing that got slashed, and I imagine that it happens everywhere.

A buddy of mine works at a marketing company. He kept telling me that they were fine, people staying home didn't affect their business, etc etc. But a week ago he told me that now they were feeling the ripple effect very hard.

2. How the typical ETL in Airflow compares to one in Informatica/SSIS in terms of speed of development, performance (throughput and latency), memory consumptipon? Is it the same speed, or slower due to using Python interpreter?

3. Is it easy or hard to use parallel transformations with processes/threads/async ? For example, ingest data from your source in 20 threads at once, as opposed to serial processing

I don't see how you came to this idea. The jobs can be as long as you want, you can have retry, persistant queues, priorities, and dependancies.
