I think the recent rebranding of ILM was quite successful, it is less bland that the previous one.

The equivalent for current crimes: https://crimerate.co.uk/crime-map


This one does require an account: https://www.police.uk/ You have to select an area and then select crime map.


Can multiple separate clients access the same single-file database at the same time?


One of the DuckDB authors here. The answer is yes, but only in read-only mode at the same time.


What about one single client writing and multiple clients in read-only mode? Any problems with storing the file on network storage? Basically, how far can you push it before it is better to just use PostgreSQL?


The whole series is full of racist jokes from racist characters, it is a bit strange that they pull the episode with the least racist joke on it.


Anyone else gets a 404?


Vim with coc-python works very well for me: https://github.com/neoclide/coc-python

“Built with rich support for the Python language (for all actively supported versions of the language: 2.7, >=3.5), including features such as linting, IntelliSense, code navigation, code formatting, refactoring, snippets, and more!”


Weirdest yet is that I finally decided to watch Breaking Bad and the last episode I watched also mentioned Lily of the Valley :-)


Did he ever get a reply?


Yes, Mr. Bird was a bit defensive...here's a summary w/ links to the exchange on Twitter: http://www.candlerblog.com/2012/01/25/brad-bird-responds-to-...


I wouldn't call it defensive. Not overly defensive anyway. Seems like an appropriate response. The guy was needlessly pedantic. His issue wasn't that it was hard to read, just purely that he didn't personally like the font. His best argument is seriously that it's the Ikea font? Really?

I can understand it more when it's a tool or something you use frequently like the font on a phone, but it's literally a few minutes out of one movie.


That's an interesting exchange!

Good points on both sides, but surely the correct decision by Bird would have been to delegate the font choice, to the head visual designer or some such.

Or maybe he already delegated, asked someone to make a shortlist of 5 fonts for him to choose from, and for some reason Verdana was the best on the list...
