What about nurses working 12 hour shifts, helping people survive covid-19 -- now they are needed, or people will die.

But I never heard about them getting any special extra compensation for working that much and also a bit risking their life. Also, nurses are often women. Are they light pattern people getting exploited? Why won't society raise their salaries, so more people will work as nurses or at least not resign -- so they won't need to work 12 h shifts

> it does make them feel great and that's the temporary payoff.

I think in the cases of nurses it can be the opposite: that they'd feel guilt if they quit

I'd actually say Kafka makes a better general-purpose database. SQL databases are only appropriate for a pretty narrow range of problems.

It's not strictly speaking serializable, what they described is a lost update anomaly, to avoid which repeatable read or snapshot isolation is sufficient.

Serializable (or serializable snapshot isolation) is stronger, it doesn't allow anomalies such as write skew, but also a lot more expensive since you need to keep track of changes in rows matched by predicates to avoid phantom reads (as compared to just keeping track of the rows returned by the query with predicates in this particular transaction).

Also worth noting that some DBs such as Oracle actually lie about implementing serializable (in this case they only offer snapshot isolation), so it's worth keeping that in mind and use locks if necessary.
I think GP comment is parody/satire? (maybe?)
The Bose phones also do fast and automatic switching between the last two connected devices. The button shuffle is only needed to switch to other previously connected devices (and that also takes only another few seconds).

Also one of my devices is a Windows PC. I don’t know if AirPods work equally well with non-Apple sources.
This is a really cool hack.

> The JSON must contain only pure information without any concern about design or markup.

Wellll.. I mean the json has markdown syntax in it. That's a lot nicer than html tags for markup, but it's still markup.

In case anyone reading hasn't seen it before, browsers have a thing called XSLT built into them that does something similar for XML documents. You serve up your data as XML, add a tag that points to an XSLT document, and the browser will use the transform on your document automatically. If the resulting output is renderable XHTML, it'll display it like a regular webpage.

That being said, I wouldn't recommend doing that, since XSLT is a programming language whose syntax is XML itself. Apparently web standards folks in the early 2000s thought the future was XML all the way down.
Flagged for an editorialized headline. Can the title be changed to "Texas, Plaintiff v. Pennsylvania, et al."?
I don't mean those kinds of regulation, some regulation are definitely needed for the better.

However there are some regulation that are made for the sole purpose of defending the existing players and keeping new players from coming into the market.

Some licenses have requirements like that, such as requiring some documents or certification before operating, meanwhile the existing players may not have them.

I have used CurveDNS forwarders at home as an experiment for many years now. I have never had any problems. I cannot see why authoritative DNS providers would resist offering DNSCurve as an option. It is relatively easy to set up and does not require replacing or modifying any DNS software.

The word "uncommon" is very subjective here. According to this article: https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-myth-of-systemic-police-rac... police shot 9 unarmed black people in 2019. 9 deaths out of 375 million annual civilian contacts is fairly uncommon in my opinion.
The entire OS depends on having different users. Services like apache, chrony, avahi, dbus, etc don't run as root because of the security implications.

This is only fair if the Apple user is worried about switching away from iOS, not other devices.

For example, an iPhone user can get the exact same experience from the Galaxy Buds as I have with my S10+, but they get the added bonus of having enhanced operability with things like AirPods, if that's what they want instead. I think the only limitation with the Buds is the ability to stream to 2 sets of Buds at once, but that's such a rare use-case and doesn't really affect the experience in the same way as the quick switching between Apple device that comes with AirPods.

I wish I could have the Apple experience, but my hate for iOS is too strong. Otherwise, I love a lot of what they develop.
Generally it means you can't (in this case) mess with the Qt Libraries, you use them as is, and link to them dynamically. You do NOT have to release your source code, however you do have to provide Qt source (libraries) to anyone who requests them from you to whom you "have distributed" your software to (paid or unpaid), whether you provided a download link or DVD or usb drive, etc. If you someone received your software outside of your distribution channel you can tell them to go pound sand though since you didn't distribute to them directly and they got a copy through some other means.
This would be funny if it wasn't entirely plausible around here

> Equal protection under the law and freedom of speech.

The reality is that certain types of people are in fact more important than others. POTUS gets secret service protection -- something that most citizens won't get.

Does a federal judge deserve extra protection under the law than an average citizen? Probably. It's just a question of how much -- precisely for the reasons given in the article.

Now whether or not we should all have that right may be a question worth asking, but it seems pretty certain that federal judges are worthy of this kind of protection.
How? Tipping is friction and makes you feel bad, by not doing it I'm incentivized to eat out more often. What matters to me are small businesses, if I help the workers but not the small businesses there'll be no job for them tomorrow.
That doesn't make sense except for a few heavy applications of JS like a resource-intensive web game which is obviously a niche outside of general statements about the internet.

Your 2017 Android isn't unusable because it can't run AJAX and $(dropdown).toggle() fast enough. Maybe it's not as fast as your laptop.
iptables?

Of course it's technically possible, it's all just packets of data that you can change, at the end of the day. I just meant that the easy way to do it (AIUI) went away with IPv6 because you were never supposed to need to do that, and with v6 you 'don't'.

It's not like the purpose of firewalls is redirection.

Well the cost of land worsens housing prices, but even assuming the land is of negligible value the cost of construction itself will make new houses quite pricey compared to older homes in non-bubbly markets.
So they want us to believe socialism is the solution, after goverment interventios have broken the economy. And many people believe it. They finally found their lever to make people compliant.
Good luck everybody, and consider buying some Bitcoin.
Actually what might be better is "sheet functions". So like pages where you can define input and output cells. Then you top level sheet can invoke the "function" as like "=myfunctionsheet{A1=5, A2=9}.N8". That way you get local scope, etc, and you can do more complex stuff because it's very visual instead of being a mathematical function.
As usual support and there are some libraries in the Qt Umbrella of source code that ARE NOT LGPL and you can't use those for distribution unless you pay for the commercial license.
I'm not convinced any court, anywhere, will hear any case regarding the 2020 election—even if it would have been willing to do so in past elections, or in the future, and even if a judge personally believe's the case has merit. Certainly that's been the case so far.

To do so in 2020 is to legitimize Trump's assault on the country, and I just don't see the courts doing that.

It's better to just dismiss every case regardless of the merits. Republican voters aren't going to do anything about the election result once Biden has been inaugurated in January.
The problem with most Basic Income scheme's is they are solely derived from Income based taxation, they redistribute high wage earners income to lower wage earners there by in effect punishing high wages

I can not back such a system as that is tantamount to labor theft and is unethical

Now if you want to base a UBI on something else beside Income based taxation, Such has a Georgist Single land value tax then that would be a more ethical system

USPS priority has been amazingly predictable for me all year, even through all the pre-election noise. I think they were 19 for 20 in being on-time to their estimate (including several of Saturday mail, Monday deliveries 600-900 miles away). The 1 that missed missed by a day.

I have had had some terrible parcel post experiences, but priority has been good.
And how do you propose creating equal opportunities?
Run EC2 instances in an autoscaling group. Provision them with whatever you're comfortable with. Ansible is nice because you can point it at a node to test the deploy out without having to always respin the node to try again.

Have ansible fire up a docker container on your host.

That's it, done. You don't need Kubernetes.

Using EC2 segregates everything nicely out of the box. You don't need to be concerned about resource contention or figuring out how to size instances/pods. A container going nuts and filling up your disk won't cause a bunch of other services to experience errors.

While convenient for deploys, the biggest issue with Kubernetes is that you introduce an entire new layer of technology that you need expertise in.

If you're running your own EC2 instances anyway (which seems likely, since spot pricing is amazing compared to managed stuff) you now have to know how autoscaling works, plus a VPC, plus Kubernetes. The way Kubernetes interacts with cloud providers (at least AWS) adds a ton of complexity.

Also, if you have a decent build process for AMIs you can insulate yourself from container registry outages by baking the images into an AMI. There's something really powerful about this approach. If you build an AMI properly, that thing will run _forever_ with a minimal set of external service dependencies.
> I think the same argument can be made with "only one Kafka cluster"

No it can't. Kafka events for the same partition will always be processed in order. If you have a stream transformation that reads from a topic that lives in one cluster and writes to a topic that lives in another cluster, then (as long as you chose the right partition key) everything will work correctly. Even if you have a sequence of transformations that zig-zag between two different clusters, it will do the right thing. You can't achieve that with traditional databases.
I don't agree. I don't like tipping and so I do not eat out usually because of this.

Right now I understand that we need to do our part to help small businesses, so I'm making an effort and tricking my brain into eating out by not tipping. This is where I want to put my money: I think it's my responsibility if small businesses are going to survive, I don't think it's my responsibility if workers are not paid well.
TLDR: <img src="header.svg" />
Would the restaurants prefer I just cook at home or order pick up with no tip? It's an unworkable business model if the direct exchange for the menu price is not enough. There used to be the service of walking your food to you and refilling your drinks a couple times that restaurants claimed the charity was for but it makes no sense when you're picking up directly.
This year has quite simply broken the way the CPI works.

They try not to re-weight items in the CPI year by year. Motor fuel is still 2.9% of the index. Transportation, including air travel is still 5% of the index. Demand and price for these has crashed this year. They still keep the same weighting year in year out since the items in the CPI aren't meant to be changed and re-weighted every year. (See the Oct 2019 vs Oct 2020 column)

Interesting that the Harvard statistician they used as an expert witness says:

"the probability of Joe Biden winning the popular vote in the four states independently given President Trump’s early lead in those States as of 3 a.m. on November 4, 2020, is less than one in a quadrillion."

This seems to indicate fraud.
I would not get my hopes up if I were you. This is not even a lawsuit. This is a motion asking for permission to file a lawsuit, and it's highly unlikely to get approved.

Among other reasons, the Supreme Court in a different case just denied standing to Pennsylvania Republicans to challenge the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's interpretation of Pennsylvania election law. This case is TEXAS Republicans asking for standing to challenge the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's interpretation of Pennsylvania election law. You might see the problem there...
Agreed! It's an abstraction on top of many existing cloud provider storage abstractions which will be a welcome feature to many places wanting a quick backup solution of their volumes.
I think the main advantage of frazbin's setup as opposed to the other suggestions here is that it's the most frugal. If you only have a laptop, you don't need to buy neither an arm/handle nor a monitor. You only need the laptop, a table/desk (glass/opaque, doesn't matter), a keyboard, and something heavy to put on the laptop.
I'm not sure I understand, would you rather me not eat out and help out small businesses? My money, my way of helping. I pay taxes for the rest.
This Nature paper,

Non-invasive early detection of cancer four years before conventional diagnosis using a blood test

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-17316-z

Major breakthrough in cell-free diagnostics. The methylation pattern of DNA can be used to identify early-stage cancer, i.e. circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) has a distinct methylation pattern.

The results are based on data from a ten year study which must have cost a fortune to run.
They could make it easier and cheaper by repealing the solar mandate they imposed.
What stops any heavily democratic state file a similar lawsuit against Texas and a few other "swing states" that voted republican ? (I'm putting swing states in quotes because I think the meaning of the words changes depending on who you ask.)

It seems to me that at least 2 points raised in the lawsuit, while they might be technically valid, were also used by various local governments in Texas (non-legislative bodies amending election laws, favoring the party of the local government's party).

The 3rd point could easily be argued the other way around, given the global lack of evidence for election mishandling on all states.

The real problem here is that attorneys don't get punished for bringing frivolous lawsuits, even though they have a significant cost to society. I think that's a massive issue with the US judiciary system. In this case, qualified immunity would probably protect the AG of Texas from being personally liable, which is another issue with the current system IMO.

This is one of Kubernetes' biggest downfalls. On a small team, time is king. You likely don't have a team dedicated to keeping up with Kube releases, troubleshooting issues, etc.

When you build something, you need it to work until _you_ decide to futz with it again.
It's all part of the 2024 election campaign. I will be shocked if Trump doesn't run again.

God help the Democrats if Biden dies during his first term. It will be a blood bath after how close this election was despite everything that had gone wrong this year for Trump.
The python/django experience on dotCloud was really rather nice, actually. Perhaps much of that sympathy was coming from people were comparing Rails/Heroku with Rails/dotCloud, where Heroku has a rather big head start, but Django/dotCloud was the first easy, pipelineable deployment experience I had ever found despite having already tried all the early competition.

It probably wouldn't have taken long for a Python-centric competitor to leapfrog them, but by the time they had, dotCloud was basically all in on the Docker experience, which was transformative.

The only reason why people in tech still have jobs (and why SV hasn’t blown up) is because the c-suite is getting rich off of stock market. When that party ends (likely in February/March timeframe), there will be a depression and civil unrest.
You’re making sweeping generalizations that may be false, depending on organization and its structure.

In an organization as large as state government, it’s possible to have highly specialized roles with significant division of labor. In this case, she could be use SAS EG or Tableau on top of already built data sources created by engineers.

Not every organization requires a full stack DS resource who is running everything soup to nuts. In fact, I’d argue if an organization requires its DS resources to manage infrastructure and write a lot of code, they’re not doing a great job leaving to the DS resources what they’re best at—-science and linking the business to the science.

Leave the rest up to DEs and IT.

The most developed cores written in Chisel are much bigger and more complex as they target ASICs.

LSP has two parts, a client implented by an editor (or plugin for one), and a server for whichever specific language.

If you always use vim but several languages, you need one language client for vim, and a language server for, yes, each specific language you want to write with it. `vls` for example for vue/js/etc. distributed with `vetur` which is God knows what also distributing God knows what else, and the rabbit hole continues. :)

(And your language server might be the only linter and formatter you need/want, so they're then wasted being in Rome, is what made me think of it.)

> The problem we now have is called write skew. Our reads from the inventory view can be out of date by the time the checkout event is processed. If two users try to buy the same item at nearly the same time, they will both succeed, and we won’t have enough inventory for them both.

And you'll have exactly the same problem if you're using a traditional ACID database: the user saw the item as being available, clicked buy, but it was unavailable by the they went to get it. Using an ACID database doesn't gain you anything; you might as well just use Kafka for everything.

Great suggestion. The extra sensors in particular would be a welcome improvement. I had the Snap Circuits rover on hand already, so my total outlay was about $20.

A big question when building the base is whether it's heavy/wide enough to be stable. Mounting the tablet up high is great for interaction, but results in a high center of gravity and a long moment arm conspiring to cause instability. From the specs it looks like the iRobot might be both heavier and wider than the Snap Circuits rover, so it might be a great choice.
Bearish bets are expensive even if you time them perfectly. Most of the time you just piss your money away on theta or borrowing costs even if the security in question doesn't even go up.
