Correct. It would just take a small nudge and the whole car would fall apart. Replacement parts are cheap though.

I did the Amsterdam-Dakar banger challenge a few years ago. The story was that a Lada Niva has never made it to the finish line :-). Oh and Landrovers you could track by the oil they were leaking.

Do we get to read the stories that end with a reasonable outcome? I highly doubt it.

What I find interesting is that we seem to perceive the App Store Review process as some kind of black and white thing, while it isn't. Like a pure function that only works with the input variables provided and no side effects. Guess w

O that's interesting. I was able to do the same (tv, refrigerator, etc). I also lived country side and I have hearing loss (35db) and tinnitus (sometimes? moderate?) in my left ear, but seemingly due to a virus infection. I have never

This is exactly what the Schrems I/II rulings encapsulated: the Privacy Shield agreement was ruled invalid as any guarantees made on the privacy of European Citizens data transferred to the US were deemed to be fake. This has put a lot

The same goes for Banks, a.o. Dutch banks. They are a bit more picky though. Domestic and US is fine, Russian and Chinese is not.

My mother was a teacher in computer science (called informatics here at the time). She brought the first computer into the house (8088) and even a "laptop" that was over 5 kilos (a sharp with lcd). What got me into Linux was a lit

We run over 500 concurrent desktops with Guacamole and XRDP in Kubernetes in non privileged conatiners. This allows us have a secure environment while still having it light weight and not having te resort to Citrix for example. Anyone comp

Interesting how people measure these endeavours always in the context of their perceived end goal. Remember "shoot for the moon and if you come half way you still got pretty far"? This is exactly that. Learning what you can't

It is argued in the article that the survival rate didn't go up, but rather how it was measured: earlier detection means a longer period of survival since detection. You argue that there was rapid progress in the last decade. The artic

Airflow maintainer here Jupyter doesn't do scheduling and integrates pretty well with Airflow.

Airflow maintainer here If you have idempotent tasks, which is a best practice, it is possible to use Airflow in HA even in active/active. It might occasionally schedule a task twice, which should be caught but in any case mitigated by

No it doesn't. In no way an RFID token is equal to biometrical information. I can throw away the token, choose not to have it on me etc. The dataset you are talking about is not just in/out but is a lot more comprehensive than tha

Any app that takes security seriously will need to take a layered approach. So while Oauth 2, which is just a framework contrary to oauth 1.0a, seems to outsource its integrity protection to TLS this isnt enough: others have already pointed

This looks pretty cool. Is it dependent on Google’s kubernetes or can it be run on Openshift or DC/OS as well?

Airflow uses Celery to horizontally scale its execution. The Airflow scheduler takes care of what tasks to run in what order, but also what to do when they fail, need to retry, don't need to run at all, backfill the past etc. Spark for

Starting from 1.8 you will be able to trigger dags through a rest API, that is fully supported. Shaping DAGs dynamically poses a challenge to the scheduler on how to 'predict' what tasks need to run in the future. The scheduler ne

As far as we know Airflow is used in one of the teams (I think it maybe advertising). It does not mean the whole company has switched to Airflow, but some team decided it fitted their job better.

DAGS in Airflow can just be a few lines. Some understanding of the syntax of python is required. But you can start simple and add complexity as you require it.
