No, it’s the truth. The BBC has a strong bias when it comes to reporting African news. Just take a look at the African news page, you won’t find anything positive [1].

Currently, headlines are: - beheading - al shabaab - CAR atrocities - mercenaries - pollution - hostages

Basically, nothing positive across a large continent with 750 mil people.

You are bound to get a more balanced coverage at the guardian, DW or Al Jazeera

Yes. I can attest to brother being nice.

Ahh, I’ll call bs on that. Reiserfs was an innovative fs at the time; in the current space, btrfs is in the same space. Stuff like tail packing and very good performance on small files (emails) made it a good fit for specific workloads.

A lot of East Africans have grandpas who fought in Burma during ww2 [1]. In fact a certain suburb in Nairobi is called Kariokor; a bastardisation of the name carrier corps.

Peter f Hamilton. The commonwealth series is incredible. I’ve read every single book of his and can’t find anything to complain about. IMHO, he’s up there with Alastair Reynolds, Greg Egan, Ian m. Banks…

I agree. This is a peeve for me. I ripped toons for my kids and I can’t get the movie or to show view to display them appropriately. A directory view would have been perfect

22 floppies if I remember correctly. I was in charge of our high school lab, and the floppies were old. No 14 was prone to the dreaded: retry, abort, ignore dialog box

Does anyone know Dlib workarounds/upgrades for face recognition with masks on?

Thereisnoowl. At least there’s one in the online guardian newspaper. His comments are interesting to say the least.

Prior to the brits, there was trade along the East African coast; past the Middle East, all the way to India. The main language along the coast became a fusion of Arabic, Indian and Bantu languages. Swahili adopts Arabic arithmetic & language structures e.g 15 is said as ten and five, 7 is Saba. A minister is wazir etc.

Many Old Bantu words such as mti for tree are in Swahili. similarly sounding words are used in languages from west Africa to South Africa (muti, miti).

From India, we have Pilau, chapati, dhania...

Not to pour water on your statement, I'd say that the rate of change counts more. Nailing your first landing attempt on a powered descent (rocket-crate equivalent) is no mean feat. I'm actually pleasantly surprised given the high failure rate of Mars missions.

For me, I learnt a lot of ideas from the MIT e-vent arduino repository. I’d say it’s a nice mature arduino project that’s not too large to grok. Ex. Abstraction of sensors into classes that have a setup, read, shutdown methods. Keeping timing state within the sensors etc. It really changed the way I was coding against arduino

I have an uncle in his 70s. The other day he gave me some shrubbery to chew on coz of a toothache. I was like yeah-yeah let me humour him. Shock on me! The thing worked! Numbs the pain. In fact, any part of the tongue had a numbed feeling similar to the feeling you get when the dentist injects you.. I believe there’s probably a lot one can learn from the connected with nature older folks

Sorry to barge in with a different angle. What do people think about the so called ‘minimum tax’? A max of (1% of gross revenue, 30% of net revenue). So even if you declare a loss you still pay 1% of revenue....

Not necessarily. Efficacy measures are about protection from hospitalisation or death if you contract COVID. It doesn’t imply loss of viral shedding. There’s a vox video on YouTube that explains this...

How does it compare to shinobi.video?

Yes. I think the half-life is ~ 1-2 months

For Kenya, it works out as 0.3 USD/tablet for HCQS

I am clocking about 10 years w/out FB. Not on whatsapp and all that other stuff. I'm quite happy & when folks ask me how to get in touch, My standard reply is SMS/Phone or Face2face :)

Get a thermometer and check the ambient temp. It could be a bug on the mobo/BIOS. As an AWS SRE, we once had an issue where we had waves of racks being unavailable. They'd go offline, were booted by automation, whereupon they'd come up only to go offline again. Our usual approach to solving such issues didn't work (we had a concall spanning 3 days to triage this issue). We typically relied on IPMI sensors for thermal events in the fleet. The typical script fetched the IPMI temp and if it was too high raised a ticket. What we never factored was a temp going too low. So, it turns out, that the datacenter in question would allow air from the outside in winter to help with cooling during winter. One of the air vents got stuck open and servers went cold... (IN deg C): 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, 255 << oops bios initiates a server shutdown due to a very high chassis temp. Server vendor issue a patch a few weeks later. We had to put in an alarm for temp going too low in our monitoring!
