Point of order. They were cancelled.
There was a surge in viewership as they tried to tie up the story prompting the renewal of the show. But way too late. That they were able to pull off season 5 with the scraps and missing major cast members is kind of impressive. Perhaps indicative of what it would have been like had it been produced piecemeal
baylisscg | 5 years ago | on: Britain gave Palantir access to sensitive COVID-19 patient records in £1 deal
The removal of EU legislation from British law and the UK-US trade deal. With the US demanding it's healthcare and pharma unfettered access to the NHS on terms equivalent to current US not UK standards. The UK is not, technically, slapping a FOR SALE sign on the NHS they've just put themselves in a position where pretty much anyone and everyone can demand a slice. Of course this assumes that the current gonverment doesn't view the NHS as an asset to be strip mined which I'm damn sure they do.
baylisscg | 5 years ago | on: Three authors retract study on hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine
No, it's not centrally collected. There is a national eHealth system, MyHealthRecord, but it's opt in for patients, supplementary to your provider's records, and various pieces of privacy legislation at the state and national level make handing out this data, at best, legally fraught.
Speaking from experience. Getting data out of a hospital is phenomenally hard even when the hospital is wants to provide it. Patient confidentiality is a thing they all take very seriously.

Yeah, its the EU Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive. For any item covered by it made after 2005 it's the producer or distributor's responsibility to recycle it.

WRT [1]. Mitsubishi’s Diamondtron was the other one. Pretty much the only way to get a flat fronted CTR at the time.

When you hybridise like that it’s up to you to highlight the benefits. As you point out it’s much easier to do that with closely related fields. You need to have an idea of what the one field brings to the other. If you don’t know and can’t articulate that how is the hiring manager supposed to?
baylisscg | 6 years ago | on: Installing system packages in Docker with minimal bloat
The initial container is a contrived worst case example. Not necessarily a bad idea when you want to make a point but most of the gains are from not doing things you’re told not to do on page 2 of the docker tutorial.
Also, while vanilla Dockerfiles do need to carefully clean up after themselves BuildKit offers you a friendlier way of handling this with ‘--mount=type=cache’ on the appropriate directories

So I unlock the phone and hold it in front of an officer? At which point the office relieves me of my phone and takes it as evidence.

baylisscg | 6 years ago | on: Bazel Release 1.0
Speaking as someone who just got bitten by Maven’s dependency resolution now only building broken artefacts. (Sub-dependency’s dependency is loose enough to pull in a version built with an incompatible JDK) I prefer Bazel
baylisscg | 6 years ago | on: Australia Just Had a Bad Flu Season. That May Be a Warning for the U.S.
Herd immunity is important too. Not everyone, and especially those most vulnerable to flu, can get vaccinated so helping keep it down in the general population helps.
baylisscg | 6 years ago | on: How Is Python 2 Supported in Red Hat Enterprise Linux After 2020?
Tellingly they go out of their way to say security fixes are always at their discretion and come from upstream. After explaining that a no feature updates is fine as upstream will be effectively dead. This ain’t Python’s problem Red Hat this has been slated for years
baylisscg | 6 years ago | on: A high-speed network driver written in C, Rust, Go, C#, Java
Microsoft has been tinkering with systems stuff in C# for years so I'm not surprised[1]

baylisscg | 6 years ago | on: Google wants to reduce lifespan for HTTPS certificates to one year
Then you’ve kinda reinvented Kerberos or at least half of it. You’d be creating a hell of a lot of load on the server and the CA generating and signing all those new certificates.
Way back when “Grid computing” was a thing you’d use daily client certificates. You’d be issued a highly restricted signing cert which could only be used to generate extremely short lived certificates with your user CN. Which avoids the whole melting CA issue by having the end user generate them.
baylisscg | 6 years ago | on: OSGi After 20 Years
Yeah, It implies bad things about the expected performance of the JVM or the quality of the application being run. Either startup time or the time taken for the JIT to get a handle on things is apocalyptically bad.

The UK still has a site too but yes there's only a handful globally. The former site at Dounreay in Scotland used to leak particles on a regular basis which were all kinds of bad news for anything living that came into contact with them or perhaps one kind of bad news: horrible death.
baylisscg | 6 years ago | on: Ireland became a back door to Britain – The Spectator
Keeping the border between the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, and the UK open is a very, very, big deal because it's a component of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_Friday_Agreement and not having car bombings and assassinations is a good thing.

Perhaps but given AWS is a heavy Xen and KVM shop something like Kata Containers might suit them better.

I'd also flag that the audio is not good which isn't your fault. The trend towards conferences just pointing a camera at a lectern and throwing the footage on YouTube is unfortunate especially when it replaces circulating the slides as opposed to augmenting them. As a form of archive for attendees to review it works but not as a distribution channel.
