Err. Animals are killed in the production of those too. The question then comes down to how many, which is the subject of much argumentation.
That doesn't make you weird, that makes you sane. You couldn't pay me to drink in bars like that.
I haven’t tried this command, but I believe the use case is as follows:

• Open audio/video file with —supposedly— synchronized file

• After a few seconds, I realize the subtitles appear before/after the dialogues

• I immediately close the multimedia player, and open the Terminal

• I execute the “subsync” command which does who knows what

• Open the SRT and discover that the subtitles are now in the correct timestamps

• ???

• Profit
It's quite common for different people to create their own subtitles for videos, and for all of these different subtitle versions be available for download at various subtitle sites on the internet.

If you've already synchronized one of these from the video itself (by using the voice detection algorithm described in the Readme, or maybe even by hand), it looks like you can then synchronize the rest using the already synchronized subtitle file. It's probably faster.
You left out the part of that comment where he solved the tabs v spaces war.
Thanks, I almost posted the same. One of the things that makes our field so great is the ability to learn independently, be productive and accomplish cool things without needing formal study. But it's also one of it problems where people can be great engineers but as aren't necessarily familiar with long discusses concepts or ideas. Even CS education frequently won't cover them because they aren't practical nor the main focus of theory.

90 percent of us on here have an intuitive understanding of these concepts but not having formal language, definitions and knowledge of really causes less efficient communication and the frequent re-invent the wheel syndrome.

Maybe the answer is software engineering becoming a more popular major separate fom CS, or maybe its introducing more classes on it. Or maybe it's a separate major or learning track on data modeling, programming languages, applying them problem solving, validation, data communication.

As a random example, half the debates on static vs dynamic typing - is muddied by explicit vs more implicit (ala Haskell) typing.

Heck most of us probably couldn't really give an authoritative definition of a schema, but we know it when we see it.

Examples for something to be a schema does it have to be in a separate document or in code. Does it have to be explicit or can it be implicit? Does it have to be statically checkable or do run time semantic checks count? Is there a complexity bound on validating against a schema (syntactic vs semantic checking may take very different run times)? Can a schema be defined as "whatever data structure and content is need to make this program X over here run"? Why? Why not?

Not having rigorous definitions here makes conversations in this spaces usually end up as people reusing the same word with different interpretations / meanings and disagreeing without realizing why.

I don't know how we do better. And absolutely acknowledge I suffer from doing it just as much as anyone else.
Yes, but that frequency depends on the caesium-133's frame of reference. In a deep gravity well or at "high" speed, caesium-133 emits at a lower frequency relative to caesium-133 in deep space moving at "low" speed.
Funny, I managed to run a globally-dispersed on-prem system with over 300 individual physical machines (well, blades in racks) with one other guy no problem for many years. I was dealing with four different hosting providers doing remote hands and never had any issues whatsoever.

About the most complicated tooling we had was Anaconda.

I think I lost three hard drives in that time and all three were hotswapped with zero downtime under warranty. No other failures. And that's not an outlier - I've been doing this 25+ years and the hardware failure rate has been pretty consistently low.
NordVPN. As a basic user who would like to have access the web via VPN on mobile and desktop, NordVPN fulfills my needs. I would say that the desktop client is a bit buggy (sometimes logs my username out for no reason). iOS client is solid.
This is one of the reasons I will never use a tax preparation product online. Nor will I file online through the IRS's "secure" system. Even the downloadables are open to shenanigans behind the scenes, so it's not the best option either.

At some point, it's possible that one or more IRS databases themselves will be breached. This may (?) cause a re-evaluation of the risks the US government is subjecting its citizens to by collecting and storing such large volumes of financial data.

Taxes are not a punishment. Taxes are the way of financing government and whatever government decides should be financed.

What to tax however is open for debate. First you have to be pragmatic and tax things you can measure. If you can't reliably measure something people will just dodge your tax. Then you have to avoid taxing too much things that are necessary for the economy.

What you can safely tax are the behaviors you want to get rid of, like smoking or drinking, or using too much electricity, or emitting co2, or hoarding real estate. If you reduce these behaviors through taxing it's all the better.

Taxes are not fair in any shape or form.

I looked up that film and found a Wikipedia article on it.

I hardly find credible a "documentary" wherein multiple scientists interviewed complained to regulators that they were misrepresented[0].

Of course, many other scientists complained about the film as well [1]. One stated that "First, let's deal with the main thesis: that the presence or absence of cosmic rays in Earth's atmosphere is a better explanation for temperature variation than the concentration of CO2 and other gases. This is not a new assertion and it is patently wrong: there is no credible evidence that cosmic rays play a significant role...Let scepticism reign, but let's not play games with the evidence"

The the regulators found partially in favor of the scientists and further sanctioned the film [2] for not presenting an objective outlook on the politics surrounding global warming. The regulators only declined to take a position on the science of the piece as it was beyond their regulatory scope.

It seems as though that film is misinformation propaganda that doesn't belong on HN. Am I missing something?

From what I recall of the inquiry's findings, that statement is a reasonable (if simplified) synopsis of the managers' (specifically, the managers being referred to in your wiki quote) reasons for dismissing the engineers' concerns.

Here's another quote, from the beginning of the article: "... I think it’s too easy to think of it as just a random-chance disaster or just space/materials engineering problem that only has lessons relevant to that field. And that’s not really the most important lesson to learn from the Challenger disaster!" [my emphasis.]

Even for those of us in San Francisco -- can you imagine someone proposing building Sutro Tower today? What do you mean you can see it from everywhere?! Our glorious view! That it became kind of an iconic landmark, well, that's neither here nor there. Nobody's allowed to build anything taller than anything already there. It's as if SF has decided that it's happy with things as they are and no need to grow/build/develop anything new.
You are exaggerating a bit. When I visit Berlin in the summer months, what strikes me is the culture of bicycles, which is much stronger than in any USA city. I recall at 1 AM my friends said “We are going dancing now.” We then rode on bicycles for 45 minutes to get to Berghain. The hip people are willing to bike fairly far to get to the cool places.
Rust's primitives are all thin wrappers on top of libpthread. The difference is that the type system ensures you don't forget them, and makes it harder to misuse them (such as accessing data without locking its mutex, or mutating shared memory in a non-atomic way).

And even if you think you never make mistakes, and it's always the other programmers who are the problem, Rust keeps other peoples' code in check too.
Just FYI, but "massive server network" often means a bunch of VPS in a few data centers. With devious cross-AS announcements to make servers geolocate as desired. It's easy to discover the truth, by using numerous ping and traceroute probes, and doing triangulation.
I have SERIOUS doubts as to your price projections. Even IF it somehow magically becomes less expensive to actually produce, and completely recoup investment costs for design/production/test in 3 years, it's still subject to economics. Meaning if most people are willing to pay hundreds, it will cost hundreds.
The desktop editions are supposed to run locally, and save data locally [1].

But, one quirk many may not be aware of, even with 'desktop' versions, is if one e-files, the data follows this path:

Desktop -> Intuit (or other software) servers -> IRS

So to avoid a copy of one's tax data being stored on the servers of the software prep. company, one has to print and file via. paper forms.

[1] I realize this does not mean it is not silently uploading the data in the background somewhere to their servers anyway, but the 'web' version is guaranteed to be storing the data on their servers. But I do hope with the number of users using these packages that if this were to happen, someone would notice and sound the alarm.
There is Barycentric Coordinate Time which is the time from a hypothetical clock at rest at the centre of mass of the Solar System. This is easier to calculate across spacecraft than an Earth-centric time would be. However, because it's outside of Earth's gravity well it ticks slightly faster than Earth time.
Couldn't you just pick a pulsar or something, all agree to take their measurements from X distance from pulsar, and use that as the standard? It would be time + location, making your local time depending on the distance and number of pulses from the 0 starting pointing. As long as you kept account of the number of pulses as you moved through space, you could use that as a standard, and whenever you met up somewhere else in the universe, you could base your time based on their observed number of pulses.

Im not sure pulsars are actually that precise and predictable to not require regular adjustments to equate local times, but it would provide a standard anybody could utilize as long as they could keep an eye on it.

Of course it would break down if someone broke light speed, either with wormholes or some unknown technology, but as long as you are below lightspeed then there shouldn't be any problems.
I can't say why everyone does it but soft/moderate volume music does encourage people to talk to each other more. No one wants to break silence. People are more likely to talk when they think no one can hear them.

Ask HN: Apple 2FA mandated how to work with multiple accounts?
Ok, so Apple has now mandated 2FA which I am totally good with, but how are we supposed to work with multiple distinct accounts under different companies?

It seems I can create a second account on my mac pro, create a new apple id and 2FA there the first time, then delete the machine account and it will still be associated to my mac pro for future 2FA requests. However, WTF, how would this work for people consulting that have a client that wants you to setup an account for their company and use it for submissions? You don't want it to 2FA to your phone or mac after you are done with the project. Do you have to transfer it through Apple each time now? That's a pain in the ass.

Did they seriously not think this through? Am I missing something obvious?

I have contacted support and they have been less than helpful so far. Basically telling me I must enable 2FA for each account on a unique Apple device. WTF? Seriously?
What did you replace it with?

I have used it for 5 odd years, but it's really starting to annoy me now. I'm seriously considering trying to find a professional that can handle everything for, say $500/year.

You aren't losing $80 if you are buying something that is of equal or greater value to you. No matter what, I am going to need toilet paper. If I usually spend $20 to get the toilet paper I need, and it is on sale for $15, I actually have saved money. Sure, I spent $15, but I didn't 'lose' $15. I saved $5. Even in the case of a bogo offer. I spend $22 to get 2 packages instead of 1. I don't have to buy toilet paper next month. So I saved $18 assuming that the time value of the additional $2 does not exceed the $18 savings by next month.
> Why wouldn't everyone's rent increase by whatever that tax is?

Because the tax is progressive, which means is not equal for all landlords, which means if big landlords increased their rent by their tax then nobody would rent from them because smaller landlords would have smaller rents thanks to smaller tax.

This way large landlords no longer find owning real estate profitable and relocate their capital away from real estate market towards stock market or wherever where it is hopefully less harmful to other players.

Less capital with same number of units drives the price down. More people can afford to own vs rent, so they buy and rent drops further because of lower demand. Ultimately everything lands on new equilibrium of lower rents with government having nice pile of cash on their hands free to use it to whatever new public housing development it fancies, driving prices even lower by increasing supply.
I've long wondered if Europeans and their descendants have evolved a more intense affinity toward meat that other cultures have, by virtue of having a lower population density for so much longer than Asians have -- thus, they could "afford" a less efficient diet rich in meat.

We know that tastes are related to genetics. Most famously, is the understanding that Asians dislike cilantro at a much higher rate than Africans, and we know a single gene is heavily responsible for the aversion to the specific aldehydes in cilantro.

It's not crazy to think that humans may have a "carnivorous" gene, which controls ones love of meat.
I mean, all those positive changes happened in an ostensibly democratic system and were later ratified by it. They just didn’t happen because ‘moderates’ were convinced by logical argument to grant people basic rights through the ballot box.

That’s the farce, that political change happens through some cosplay conception of an Athenian forum instead of the accumulation and exercise of power. It’s a fact that fascists know instinctively and the left has been waking up to. For liberals, who are enthralled by process and satisfied with the status quo, the threat of change is more serious than the reality of injustice.
> - Why can't poverty be causal?

Because most poor people around the world are not fat and have never been until recently. In the countries affected by the obesity epidemics, it may be causal, but it doesn't explain why obesity struck somewhere and not elsewhere.

> - Intergenerational epigenetic influence means that factors that are no longer overtly visible may have a lasting effect.

Agreed 100%, it has an impact in the long run, but as a secondary factor, not as a trigger.

> - vaccines

I don't understand the point you're tying to make (beside "fuck anti-vaxxers", and I couldn't agree more). Specifically, I don't understand the link between these specific anti-Ebola vaccines and the possibility that vaccines could cause obesity.

> - HFCS...

A high fructose diet causes non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (a close cousin of metabolic syndrome), and that is well established. In general I have little trust studies that are privately funded. Too much room for bias.

IIRC the Japanese who migrate and keep their traditional diet don't grow fat. This is purely out of memory though, from something I read or heard a long time ago, and I could be wrong.
I disagree completely. This problem will never matter to the day job of 99%+ of engineers. It's fun to read about, fun to think about outside of an interview context, but it's a garbage test of whether or not I'd want to hire someone.

You're right, it's not the government's job to protect business models, particularly if they are considered harmful. A sensible government would probably want a healthy environment and market for companies to operate it, but exactly what that means is clearly something on which governments can radically disagree.

So I admit that the US is entirely within its rights to create a law that makes it impossible for cloud providers to simultaneously operate in the US and the EU.

It's still be sad though that the two major democratic power blocs in the world can't agree on something like this.

> landlords are raising the rent by inordinate amounts

Landlords dont raise rents. Rents are the result of supply and demand just like everything else, and a price is where a buyer and a seller meet.

Controlling prices is preventing that exchange.
We can't, because we're slowly turning into Europe: old, arthritic, short-sighted, and with complete tunnel vision.

Because SI itself assumes that you and whatever you are measuring is in same relativistic frame of reference. When you start to take relativity into account the whole system breaks down horribly.

That's around what I got from my back of the envelope Math too (well, I got around 300ms/year). Small enough where you can adjust a leap second everyone few years to take care of the drift. Kind of like converting between UTC, TAI, and UT1.

It may need to be compensated for when receiving transmissions between the planets, but I don't know enough about RF to judge how meaningful the difference is. There was a spacecraft (I think Huygens?) that actually had problems with Doppler shift. I think in that case they forgot to take it into account entirely, so it wasn't that they just forgot the relativistic component.
That's kind of half-way there, but there doesn't seem to be a way for advertisers to actually choose specific channels to maximize brand-fit just packages of channels deemed "brand safe" which is a very generic term.
