The Daily Signal - What Life in Madrid Under Lockdown Is Like
Spain is one of the European countries struggling to stop the spread of coronavirus, also known as COVID-19. Right now, Madrid is on lockdown: Residents can't leave their homes unless it's for something essential, such as getting medicine or food. You can't take walks for no reason. Only one person per household is allowed to go to the grocery store, to cut down on crowding and contact. Police enforce these measures and fine violators.
Kate Trinko's sister, Therese Trinko, a high school teacher in Madrid, shares what it's like, what she's hearing from the Italians she knows, and how Spaniards are keeping their spirits up.
We also cover these stories:
- President Trump suggests the coronavirus pandemic could last into the summer.
- More states close restaurants, bars, and other businesses.
- Some European nations are tightly restricting their borders.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S2 E6: Dennis Cail, Zirtue
Born in Monroe, Louisiana, Dennis Cail has been involved in the tech world since he started in the Navy. After serving in the Navy, he obtained his CS degree and an MBA in Finance. A family man and father, he realized he was having limited success in getting money returned to him, that he lent to friends and family. Ten years later, he set out to solve that problem, to hold people accountable to return lent funds, and remove the awkwardness for the lender. This solution became known as Zirtue.

The Stack Overflow Podcast - Time Keeps On Slipping
When Robinhood went down at the beginning of March, many speculated it might have been caused by the extra day, February 29th. This is a leap year after all. Robinhood blamed the outage on an unprecedented spike in usage. Either way, it go us thinking about time.
For example, Postgres has a great understanding of time as a database. Like, it really knows all the different things that happened going back to literally year 4,000 BC including years that were skipped when they re-crafted the calendar and just like bananas stuff that happens with calendars over time. An excellent source of truth if it fits with your project.
Next, a user shared the story of a wild interaction between Docker and the driver used by Razor peripherals. You can't have your fancy gaming mouse fired up and also be working on some container orchestration. Apparently they request the same GUID and get a bit confused if one already exists.
If you're still feeling a little uncertain about exactly how Docker/Kubernetes works, Paul suggests this lovely illustrated guide for children or this comic, which is for grown ups.
We chat about MySpace and whether it was ever cutting edge during its rise to prominence?
Last, we dive into the pronunciation of "char", by the end of which, half of us have turned into full blown pirate impersonators.
Opening Arguments - OA369: Humanist Invocations & LED ZEPPELIN
Today's episode features two deep dives: first, we have an interview with David Williamson of the Central Florida Freethought Community to discuss their successful (!) five-year lawsuit to permit humanist, atheist & non-clergy invocations before the Brevard County council meetings. Find out how this case developed and learn some strategies for successful grass-roots activism even in the age of Trump!
We also take one more deep dive into the amazing Spirit/Led Zeppelin lawsuit, this time taking a look at the recent en banc decision by the full 9th Circuit that reverses the earlier panel opinion (and is a win for Led Zep). The 9th Circuit has some interesting things to say about the "inverse ratio" rule that really brings out discussion from the past two weeks (see episodes 365 and 367). We know you'll enjoy it!
After that, it's time for the answer to #T3BE 170, which matched Thomas up against the dreaded REAL PROPERTY QUESTION. Can he slay the beast? Listen and find out!
