This is just patently false. Unless they were lying on the ground because they were exhausted from Covid and the bus ran them over, Covid would not appear on a death certificate as a co-morbidity.

It was a motorcycle accident, and it was later removed from the list:

FWIW, if you have to ask this question then perhaps the ~20-30% cost overhead of RDS is worth not having to handle the sysops layer? If you want to, Bitnami and others have AMIs on the marketplace that have various versions of PG installed: https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B01LWIX1ZK?qid=1573152...


"It depends"

As someone who has gone through this for some 20 yrs, it's usually a faster commute to travel from Hoboken to pretty much anywhere along/south of the PATH line during peak hours (so 34th down to the southern tip of Manhattan) versus a starting point of the UES/UWS (which is where the comparable housing exists).

My commute from Hoboken to various startup locations in NYC was consistently ~45 minutes door to door, versus an hour for my friends on the UES/UWS.


Hoboken might as well be a borough of NYC, as well as the waterfront part of Jersey City. I was referring to places most think of when raising a family and wanting to own a home with a driveway.

What's common isn't necessarily a good practice to follow - https://google.github.io/styleguide/pyguide.html#Imports

By importing a function and assigning a 1 char alias to it, the readability of the code is impacted.


While I haven't used it with something as rarely used as Decimal, I almost always alias numpy and tensorflow to np and tf respectively. I find it cleans up the code drastically.


Those are common conventions for those particular libraries though.


I'm a bit confused by your comment. From your link: > Use from x import y as z ... if y is an inconveniently long name.

"import ... as" is both common and per Google's style guide a good practice to follow in this scenario.


No, the Style Guide says "use imports for packages and modules only", which (alias or not) rules out importing single functions.


You're right. I wouldn't import a function as a single letter module if I was only using it once or twice, but I do think there's value in some cases. decimal.Decimal("1.2345") or even d.Decimal("1.2345") can be cluttering.

Going by the guide, you would do 'import pprint; pprint.pprint("foo")'...which, at least in my experience, I've never seen. It's always "from pprint import pprint" or "from pprint import pprint as pp" It could be that I work with slobs.


I don't think having a different view on the relative value of conciseness vs. visible name spacing than is at play in the Google Python style guide makes you a slob.


You find "decimal" to be an inconveniently long name? In my experience "import...as" is reserved for things like PowerIterationClustering and the like. The overriding principle is to always choose readability over succinctness.


Depends how often it's used. If you're just calling it once I wouldn't bother, but I was going off of makecheck's comment of, "if I had to write tons of those in code." I misread the style guide linked, I do find decimal.Decimal("12.34567") inconveniently long--but I generally don't mind inconveniently long names for increased intelligibility and the IDE does most of the heavy lifting. I don't often use "as" it's usually to increase the readability.

Similarly, I often see "from pprint import pprint as pp"


An A for effort considering it's an April Fools joke.


Oh dear. I am a sitting duck in the arms race of April Fool's.


If that were the case then wouldn't a more appropriate solution be to lock commenting altogether after a particular time since thread creation (or an expiry after falling off of the front page?).


Fall back - spring ahead


> Tags point to branches, but they don't get updated.

Did you mean to say tags point to a commit?


Yep, good catch.


remote branches can also be achieved with one flag by using `-r` ( git branch -r ). Neat note about the reasoning behind stash.
