Science doesn’t have a great explanation for everything, but that doesn’t make it junk science.

Suffice to say it’s not uncommon for people to die suddenly when they encounter stressful situations, even not related to police interactions. I remember reading about a case where a person fell through the ice on a lake, the water never going over his head. He was pulled out immediately, but died of cardiac arrest. What happened? Not unusual to label it vasovagal syncope that resulted in sudden death. Is it a great explanation? No, but it’s the best we have.

Similar to excited delirium, we have folks who exhibit similar symptoms and some of them die. Do we know exactly why? Not always, but it doesn’t make “excites delirium” junk science.

Not excusing police brutality at all, but it shouldn’t be surprising some of these sudden deaths happen in police interactions too, especially when you’ve got drugs involved and/or mental illness.
Worrying that someone might get me sick because they’re not wearing a mask isn’t “projection”.
The article mentions the stolen money was used to pay off family debts. He allegedly murdered Mr. Saleh after he was caught and fired.
The ones who want to go back are either working with special needs kids or have no family of their own. There's a difference between "I'd love to be in a classroom teaching again" and "I want to be in a room full of 20+ potentially infectious children." The government has a responsibility to its constituents that goes beyond "a return to normalcy."

We're hitting 75K positive tests a day in this country and that number is increasing daily. That's WITH social distancing by kids. What do you think is going to happen when a school has 800 kids running around? That's 800 daily potential avenues for disease transmission.

Seriously, who cares if some people "fall behind?" They can catch up at their own pace. I'm pretty sure that most parents would rather their kids graduate at 19 or 20 than be buried at 8 or 9.
One example is cited immediately in this article: https://www.floridatoday.com/in-depth/news/2019/10/24/excite...

> But in those deaths where there was no drug use and the toxicology came back negative, the only common denominator in virtually every case was the involvement of law enforcement, such as in the case of Gregory Lloyd Edwards.

> According to the autopsy report, Edwards died of "excited delirium and complications" due to "hyperactive and violent state with subsequent restraint."
Fun story: adblock does NOT block youtube ads. It would be almost impossible to - they are served from the same inscrutable urls as real videos. Instead youtube detects adblock and does not show ads to adblock users on purpose.

So next time you see a YouTube employee, thank them for that
iOS app is veeeery good! That's how i eventually moved to paid cloud outlook since it is also so good.
Sent my friend to a wrong location as recently as a year ago. Won't chance that again. This is in Chicago not corn field in middle of nowhere.
I don't know what all NewPipe or Vanced can do, and I don't know what all YouTube's apps can do. I mostly indicated that OP's desired features were covered by the official app (without possibly downloading the audio track from a video file). I'm certainly not making an argument that NewPipe is any better or worse.
Maybe the police union is responsible.
American here. I can't stand that forced positivity and chanting nonsense. I can't remember the standup comedian who this came from, but they had a bit where they were pointing out that it's bad enough that they have to work these awful jobs to provide for themselves, but they're forced to pretend they're enjoying themselves to boot. I've had to put on that faked positivity in a service position where my tips absolutely depended on it, and the only way I could really stand it was basically dissociating mentally and emotionally during the shift. You're a completely different person when you're in that position.
Sure, Django/Python is a plenty good example. Python manages to be older than most of its competitors while still feeling like its cutting edge. Django is hard to beat in all but speed. What about newer stuff like Elixir/Phoenix, or even Node/Express or Ruby/Rails.

That said, I'm not even saying PHP is bad, but this article doesn't convince me why I'd pick PHP over literally anything else.
I'm no expert here, but Stencil is capable of SSR [1]. I believe you'd need to install Shoelace locally and tweak a few configs to get it working, though.

The question is "does Disney consider IT part of their creative advantage?"

> some of these sudden deaths

https://www.floridatoday.com/in-depth/news/2019/10/24/excite...

> For decades, critics of using "excited delirium" as a cause of death have expressed concern that the term appears almost exclusively on medical reports for deaths in custody or that otherwise involve law enforcement.

> About two-thirds of the cases reviewed by FLORIDA TODAY fit that bill. A majority of those cases are complicated by the presence of illegal stimulant drugs like cocaine or methamphetamine. But in those deaths where there was no drug use and the toxicology came back negative, the only common denominator in virtually every case was the involvement of law enforcement, such as in the case of Gregory Lloyd Edwards.
The consequences of losing a semester for students are highly debatable considering the primary and in many cases only function of schools outside of feeding students is babysitting.
Been working on this off and on for the last 15 years. Pretty much ended up where I started. Except the newer JS syntax is nicer than in 2005.

Control:

controls.hello = e =>
e.innerHTML = `Hello ${e.getAtttribute('x-who')}`

<hello x-who='world' />

"Framework" just cycles thru the dom and calls control def with the element as the param.

To handle data, there's a window.data object, which is global data for the app.
Its a proxy object. So when window.data is changed, for instance from the results of a fetch,
any controls that specify that key - their set() function is called.

<button onclick='data.count++'>Click me</button>
<counter x-datafield='count'></counter>

data.count = 0
controls.counter = e =>
e.set = () => e.innerHTML = data.count
I'm not entirely sure what you're saying, here. Are you saying that, if someone is acting like an asshole, those around them should just accept it? What if everyone they work with judges their behavior to be that of an asshole? Does that make others wrong and the asshole right?

Having worked with (and for) a few assholes in my day, I can say that most of the time they aren't as smart, helpful, or clever as they believe themselves to be. Most of the time they add friction to a work environment and make other people around them miserable, and eventually those other people quit.
> The world will be majority electric in probably 30 years... If we're lucky.

Whether the world is "majority" electric or not won't help the economies of these countries. One way or the other, demand for oil is on decline that is destroying the price of oil. All these countries that depend on fat oil profit margins are going to suffer as their margins decline to zero. In a few places, players are already dropping as margins for oil production have gone negative. (The cost to pump is greater than the price of crude) There are big surpluses now, even while electric cars are still a small percentage of vehicles sold as the mix shifts to electric, demand and prices of oil drop.
They said the same about tens of thousands dying; we’re now at 141k dead Americans. If you want to dismiss it as “fear mongering” that’s your prerogative, just don’t be surprised that most people find this unconvincing.
The counterargument doesn't even bother to appeal to a (relevant) authority - it just says "but muh economy :'("

I'm not sure why this is valid response.
Yes. That is true too. :)
> Getting in to a rage and throwing things or just being vitriolic is not grumpy or bad tempered.

It is true these behaviors are not desirable and can cause stress with all participants. But they happen likely as too much had been oppressed and it was just too strong to hold any longer.

When you are angry you might do something violent. Continue to oppress with force without fixing the real issue will lead to more escalations..
the naïve way of using the breach was just surprisingly stupid.
they could've done far worse things with such access.
You sound authoritative, so I'll ask you to respond to something that seems on the face of it to be scary,

"Hundreds of health-care workers lost their lives battling the coronavirus"

https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/health/healthca...

"The nation’s largest nurses union, National Nurses United, puts the total much higher: 939 fatalities among health-care workers, based on reports from its chapters around the country, social media and obituaries."

Isn't that a lot?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2020/05/02/exc...

"Excess U.S. deaths hit estimated 37,100 in pandemic’s early days, far more than previously known"

Isn't the fact that you can visibly SEE excess deaths, greater than previous years' trends, concerning?

> It’s a poor killer and a great spreader.

It's such a great spreader, that even though it's a poor killer, it's killed 140,000 in the US.

Isn't that, you know, a lot?
I have pretty much given up on everybody at this point. I have already pulled my kid from school and will not send them back. I am in a single income family and I am now working from home.

All actions and purchases at this point are to help us to become more independant from the system. Society and government at large has shown itself to be unreliable and undependable. I am also making longer term plans to move out of my current state.

So good luck everyone with the education system.
Today I learned that children live on their own and never interact with adults away from school.
Like all third-party youtube apps and downloaders, you should use a dummy account that's subscribed to all the same channels as your real one.
I’ve heard this several times, but as far as I know this only means a person wouldn’t be able to copy the whole work, but that they’d still be absolutely allowed to extract/copy the recipe itself (in the form of the ingredients and the steps needed to make the food)
A 1000 ft condo costs about a million dollars in downtown Portland so let’s put that number in perspective before imagination goes to far.

The wealthy people who own those condos fund most of the local officials political campaigns so do you honestly believe local officials would be coming out against the federal government stepping in if they felt like Rule of Law had fallen apart?
I remember talking to French colleague who called this out as well.

If someone invites you over for dinner in the US you’ll often hear “that meal was amazing!” even if it wasn’t. That’s just polite behavior.

My colleague was saying they don’t really do that in France. You’d never say “that meal was awful”, you’d just say nothing more than “thanks for the meal”.

I thought it was a great example.
Reference books aren’t the same as textbooks.

And, typically, there are several levels of textbook. e.g. high school, then freshman physics, undergrad electrodynamics, then Jackson, then specialist references.

My point is you go over the subject completely several times, at increasing levels of sophistication.
Co-author of the blog post here.

My mistake is to call it FCP.
This local benchmark only shows the performance of:
- parsing the javascript code
- creating the DOM node

That was the only goal.

We should have network simulation for the next update of the blog post to show some additional color. Good idea :thumbsup:

Static + re-hydrating is actually built in Web Components (technically). "Only" tooling like Gatsby or Next.js is missing to make it more developer friendly.
PHP is very guilty of cramming hundreds of inconsistently named standard library functions into the default namespace, but I wasn't aware of Python doing this?

This article focuses on work-processes and thought-processes that can be thought of as clear, explicit, rational, and goal-oriented. That's an important topic, and I found the article interesting, if a little long.

They define Creative Management like this:

"Creative management is one of three dominant forms of value management. Its purpose is to establish a system of management that enables and motivates creative staff, such as software engineers, writers, designers and artists, to discover and realize new works of value."

It's an interesting thesis, but there a subtle nuance here, I think, which I would put like this:

For every clear, explicit, rational, and goal-oriented form of management, there are degenerate irrational forms, and Creative Management is more vulnerable to degenerate irrational forms than other forms of management.

Over the years, many of my blogs posts have gotten a lot of discussion on Hacker News, so some of you might remember my focus on irrational, destructive forms of management. In my book How To Destroy A Tech Startup ( https://www.amazon.com/Destroy-Tech-Startup-Three-Steps-eboo... ) I give details about two different startups that go off the rails because of the ego-driven nature of the decision making by top leaders.

But the point I'd like to make now is, compared to older management systems, which were somewhat more amenable to data modeling and feedback analysis, Creative Management opens the door to creativity, but also wish-fulfillment fantasy. (As a point of comparison, think about W. Edwards Deming and his very methodical statistical approach to reducing errors in a factory, and compare that to much more open ended process of inventing, say for instance, a sui generis interface.)

Please note, I'm not saying Creative Management is a bad concept, but I am saying it has large pitfalls for which we do not yet have standard answers.

Having said all that, there are some good books that have really looked at failures in the world of software, and ways the process can be improved. The books of Robert Glass are excellent, and I've posted a long excerpt of one of my favorite of his stories here:

http://www.smashcompany.com/business/the-worst-software-proj...
It used to be true, but nowadays there are several options to deploy Pytorch models:

1. PyTorch C++ API which can trivially load and execute your models exported via JIT

2. ONNX export and inference in TensorRT (highest performance inference option)

3. Or just deploy straight up PyTorch Python code - it'll run fine in "production".

One place where PyTorch is weaker than TF is mobile. TFLite is a lot more mature and has all sorts of acceleration support (GPU, DSP). So if that's what you need, at this point there's really no other good choice IMO.
Is this the dumbest question ever asked?
Yeah, the entire US response has been completely confused and deeply incompetent. But I place blame at where the buck is supposed to stop. At the president's desk. Literally the first two words he ever used to describe the virus were "Democrat hoax" which are right in line with his basic approach to everything: politicize, divide, deny, and lie.

It wasn't some innocent misstep. He's sticking with the division and stoking hatred and reality denial....aww crap I am ranting.

Suffice is to say that CDC can be held culpable for some screwups but leadership from the President is something the country desperately needs.

Legally, that's why he had to sell the stocks, which is a reasonable requirement.

OTOH, it doesn't preclude a mutually beneficial understanding, which the exchange points to. Maybe he had a deal, or wanted to keep the good stock between friends.
Yes, not just hydrogen but even heavier atoms and molecules. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_escape#Thermal_esc...

The Wikipedia article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrodynamic_escape) on hydrodynamic escape talks about escaping heavy molecules as if that's the principle function of the mechanism. But in much of the scientific literature on early Venus, hydrodynamic escape seems to refer primarily to the escape of free hydrogen.[1] I'm not a scientist so I don't know what to make of that, but in any event thermal mechanisms (i.e. Jeans and hydrodynamic) can absolutely cause gaseous particles to reach escape velocity.

[1] Photodissociation splits H2O, hydrogen is kicked out into space via thermal mechanisms, and much of the remaining oxygen, too heavy to escape at a significant rate under the local parameters, is sequestered by the molten core, volcanism, and surface weathering. At least, that's how I understand the literature as a layman. The modern debates and research seem to be centered around the particularities, especially the early geology, such as how long core material was exposed.
I don't think he's wrong. Society has expectations and throwing money to buy things works. I don't have Uber and Lyft and that puts me at margins with society. Does that mean they're essential apps? Making life difficult and annoying is just how many people without money live.

You're exaggerating now. My point was simply that the imagery is entirely unconvincing, and could be trivially faked.
Sweden's strategy is looking more sensible every day (with the exception of failing to isolate nursing homes, which was a blunder). Their excess mortality rate is back to zero, and they never closed schools for a day.
My wife hung up her hat after busting her butt for 5 years. Pay was garbage. Expectations too high — mostly from the students and parents. I often jokingly ask if she’d go back if they offered twice her pay. She doesn’t even hesitate - no.

Without such language and understanding, founders will have a harder time sustaining their endeavours. Such concepts apply whether you're bootstrapping, taking investor funds, or just an indie builder.
Nowhere did I imply that I'd gain copyright over the content.

I don’t know where you plan to come in Canada, but I’ve been living in Montreal for almost three years now (I’m French too, and a senior developer), and I can assure you that you’d have absolutely no problem to find a job here. I’m pretty sure this works for other big Canadian cities as well…

Just be careful about recruiters that will promise you a good salary compared to French ones, whereas here they would be considered mediocre ;)
Aren't prose recipes a kind of program source-code; and aren't the underlying ideas of their steps, algorithms? The law says you can copyright source code, but not a program's underlying algorithmic semantics[1].

What I'm talking about here, is effectively "extracting the semantics of someone else's source code/recipe, in a way where humans are "firewalled off" from the particulars of the original prose of the code/recipe; and then using the described semantics to write your own code/recipe that has those same semantics."

This is explicitly something that's been decided as not copyright-infringing; which is why IP lawyers have to go after cases where there was literal plagiarism of source code, however small.

The big example of this is Google v. Oracle, where API header files used in Android were literally plagiarized from OpenJDK. Google argued that this was fair use, as there was essentially no other form these files could take while retaining Java compatibility. But this argument was shut down/never resolved in their favor.

All Google had to do, in the end, to avoid infringement, was to do a ground-up rewrite of those Android API header files (which ended up almost exactly the same as they were before the rewrite.) Note that they still rewrote them using an understanding of the bare facts that those header files contain, that could only have been gained by reading the original header files themselves. And yet the new derivative work, being "not literally plagiarism", was no longer considered an infringing derivative work.

[1] You can patent algorithms (sort of, as business processes), but that's a different thing. Nobody's ever going to sue a recipe website for patent infringement, even if they described Nestle's patented chocolate-enrobing technique, because a description of a patented process is not a use of that patent. Patents are inherently public information, and people can share and reprint the information in them around all they like. Instead, a patent owner would only sue other companies who used the patented technique for commercial gain, for not first acquiring a license for the patented technique. (Google never sued bloggers for describing the PageRank algorithm; but up until last year, Google did sue other search-engine companies for implementing PageRank without a license.)

I've spent a lot of time in big US cities and more rural parts of the country.

I had culture shock going to stores in the rural areas, because the friendly customer service attitude appeared to be much less fake. People didn't feel as rushed. They took a little extra time to have genuine communication. It drove me crazy, because I was accustomed to the efficiency of city retail, but I've come to appreciate it.
Thanks for the advice,

I have switched jobs and I will be starting in the new job in 3 weeks. I am excited and feel my curiosity burning excitedly.

But as for bureaucracy... it wasn't that we were trying to follow Google/Amazon. It was typical large company ego-stroking. People who are in positions of power and sit on ivory towers and give commands with no input possible.

Of course the stuff like OKRs came in- but these are peripheral things, not core to the function of the job.
