I sync on linux, btrfs lets me take snapshots after each sync. I currently use rsync, but I'm thinking of setting my primary drive to btrfs so I can use btrfs sync.

LPL is one of the best pickers in the world. He's one of about 10 people I know of who's ever picked a Mul-T-Lock MT5+, for example. His picking attacks are by no means typical. He also practices picking each lock before making the pick on video. That makes for better (faster) video, but is less real-world. Bosnianbill does more real-world style picking (and is only very slightly behind LPL in skill).

LPL's real good videos are his physical attacks. Whether it's twisting, core pulling, or breaking out the Ramset, all are more likely than a criminal trying to SPP a lock.

> But, even in the 21st century, it's a struggle to get compliance with hand-washing rules in hospitals.

I think it's more likely that there is an immediate feedback loop to disregarding the checklist (i.e. the plane crashes and the pilot dies), whereas not washing your hands has a lot more delayed consequences in which the causation isn't readily known. I think this is the general problem with Outcomes Based Health - we have the stats to back up its effectiveness, but don't have the immediate feedback loops to promote it.
> I don't think it is very relevant what racists commonly do.

In an English-based discussion entirely around issues of race the ways racists commonly use the English language is very relevant. Using the word "momma" by itself is not offensive however in this context it is slightly offensive because the way you used it is exactly how a racist would use it to mock a black person.

I don't think people here are even taking a lot of offense at your use of the word so much as your extreme defensiveness over your use of it. Please take this opportunity to reflect on why you chose to be so defensive instead of taking a mea culpa (and, if you are genuinely confused by why people are offended, asking for clarification).

> So if a white writer would write such a book, they wouldn't be allowed to use the word "momma" or refer to anything that PoC might do that is different from white people?

This is, in fact, a complicated question. Generally the way to avoid being offensive in that situation is to write your characters respectfully as human beings first and foremost, to study portrayals written by members of the group you are portraying to see how they portray themselves, and to ask members of the minority group you are portraying to review your work for any unintentional offensiveness before publication.
Or more generally the header should contain the metadata of the file: date modified, filetype, comments, icon, etc, rather than spreading that between the filesystem (with different filesystems having inconsistent dates), the OS, etc.
if you put the sensor on a really fast step motor, you can pivot the sensor a tiny bit in two dimensions, to get way more resolution out of it, at a loss of framerate, and you'll need to do some post processing.

Alhambra is another example.

This is also the origin of some definite articles in romance languages - el in Spanish and l' in French. So Alhambra in Spain might have been called Al Hambra or similar instead.

Interestingly, in Persian (which uses Arabic script and shares some loanwords) which is a totally different language, the definite article is assumed, and it instead has an explicit indefinite article (-i or -yi) added to a noun/adjective.

Ignoring advertising for a moment, mobile apps are first-class clients, whereas mobile websites frequently aren't. Mobile websites are usually stripped-down experiences, and the company doesn't want to invest the effort in turning the mobile website into a first-class client because most of the users are on the mobile app. It's easier to just funnel people into the app, which is also much more likely to get the user to come back (now they have the app on their home screen, the site can send notifications, etc)

Failed startup, batshit insane startup (6 bosses, 12 months), went Wall St. only to narrowly escape a layoff and a psycho manager (harassing me for leaving), thought I found the perfect job. Turned into the worst job I’ve had. Ended after 4 months.

جبر, in transliteration, jabr, is the root of the word and the closest meaning is to bring (with a possible connotation of doing so against the entities natural inclination or state) back together parts (in healing).

To my mind, mathematically it would be closest to the literal concept of integration, but that is calculus and not what is generally considered to be algebra.
> What renewables can both give us plastic, pesticides, concrete?

Mushrooms!

Plastic: https://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/mushrooms-n...
https://daily.jstor.org/company-uses-mushrooms-grows-plastic...
Probably not for long-lived plastics, but a horrific amount is single-use. And there’s research into using something similar for medical devices, which may mean longer-term is an option; I’m not sure.

Pesticides: https://science.howstuffworks.com/environmental/green-scienc...
Targeting pest species rather than indiscriminate killing. Stamets is also doing successful research into keeping conventional pesticides from killing off bees with mycelium extracts.

Concrete: https://interestingengineering.com/future-construction-mushr...
Similar to the pesticides, not a drop-in replacement but an alternative technique with some overlap of useful properties. Also we’ve had a few thousand years to experiment with concrete, mychotech is maybe a decade or two old.

These aren’t the same renewables that we would use to make energy, but they are renewable alternatives to stuff we use petro or its byproducts for today. And they grow on our waste, reusing more energy than we do now.
It might be easier, since this is targeted at developers, to make a GitHub repo with both the Sketch files and the generated code so that we can determine whether this is something that we’d benefit from.

From my perspective, one of the difficulties I’d have is that we already have a pretty extensive Vue application, but we _still_ have problems with translating updates in place. So, we’d want to be able to compare one of the screens we have with one of the screens generated (and our designers tend to create multiple Sketches to illustrate different state possibilities).

The next question would be how updates might be flagged to minimize code churn after initial generation.

As a PM, for any big project I always try to get a good developer a full two week sprint to do nothing but whatever research he or she feels is appropriate after I have a basic framework of the functionality built out.

I'm convinced that 100% of the time, this saves time. The problem is it's tough to quantify the time saved from mistakes or mid-course changes that you would have made without having this time, and it's not easy to get execs to give up two weeks of time from a senior engineer who will really do a good job at this.

And when u test tropical aerosols, warming will increase. Different aerosols have different effects on the atmosphere. And the heigt where they were injected also plays a role. As i done my private research, i came to the point, there must be more than only one sort of co2. And i was right.

"the way you used it is exactly how a racist would use it to mock a black person."

I still don't see what exactly is so mocking about it. Yes, I was perhaps "conjuring up" a stereotypical scenario. So what? Clearly, the stereotype exists. Even if it doesn't reflect reality, imo it would still be valid to refer to the stereotype, as the stereotype exists and is part of reality. The much celebrated Toni Morrison book also conjures a stereotype, about a black girl obsessing to become white. Somehow that is good - why?

And again, no - nobody should be forced to spend time learning about the behavior of racists. Why should they? Life is too short to spend it studying nasty people. I reject this as an attempt to control other people's life, with the power of being a minority.

"Generally the way to avoid being offensive in that situation is to write your characters respectfully as human beings, and to ask members of the minority group you are portraying to review your work for any unintentional offensiveness before publication."

Nope, and that is also why I am so defensive. I value freedom of thought and freedom of art higher than people's choice of being offended.

Of course any writer is free to make the choice to try to offend as few people as possible. But writers should also be allowed to write what they think.

That's a good question, I'm wondering though, if the shutter speed on commercial high speed cameras is faster, but I could be wrong?

"A Phantom camera he uses goes up to a maximum of 1000 fps in 4K — an exposure time of 1/2000 sec with a 180° shutter speed — and the image starts looking pretty dark on the screen."

I'm just trying to find what shutter speed you can get with the Pi camera.

Edit: Just having a little play:

./raspiraw -eus 500 -md 7 -t 1000 -ts tstamps.csv -hd0 hd0.32k -h 64 --vinc 1F --fps 660 -r "380A,0040;3802,78;3806,0603" -sr 1 -o /dev/shm/out.%04d.raw 2>/dev/null

500 microsecond exposure (1/2000 seconds) seems to run.
> what security issues were prevented by libav's wholesale removal of working code?

ffmpeg has a lot of areas where the cold is old, barely maintained, and has many issues. Have you tried running ffmpeg through a static analysis tool? the resulting warning list will be so large, it wouldn’t fit on a floppy.

libav’s first action was removing such unclean code, which was a good thing, the project started with a good motivation, similar to libreSSL — they also ripped out 90% of working code to clean the codebase up.

> why did libav implement new ffmpeg features in gratuitously incompatible ways?
> why did libav print the hilariously defamatory "FFMPEG IS DEPRECATED" message?

Humans are humans, and tribalism is everywhere. After such a fight, usually the groups both declare the other side wrong, and do everything in their might to make their position more popular. That’s not saying it’s justified, and I won’t make a judgement on these actions, nor am I going to declare which side was good or bad, just that libav started with some good ideals, before this happened.

Why not? Google Search started out unbiased, Pagerank (the algorithm) did not care about any opinions or attitudes or leanings and the results ended up being representative of what was out there on the 'net. The same approach could have been used for Google News by pulling in any news source found by Google's crawlers which happened to report on any specific issue, weighing the rank of those sources the same way that regular search results used to be weighed (i.e. those sources which are linked to more often (after filtering out link farms) end up higher than fly-by-night operations which nobody links to. This is not what Google News does though, instead is seems to either use a whitelist or apply a blacklist to produce 'reputable news sources'. It is there the bias starts, in the selection of which sources to link to.

> In training it's drilled into us that the response to panic is: get out the checklist and follow it

I do this, and always teach others to do this, during incident response. The reason I think it works is it reduces your burden for making decisions during a stressful time. No matter who you are, how good you are at managing stress, or how experienced you are, you’ll almost always end up making worse decisions under pressure, so removing the need to make decisions as much as possible seems to generally lead to better outcomes.

Only if they converted. Otherwise the slavery never stopped to be OK for that religion (those paying the "protection" are also not allowed to be enslaved). See the (currently insulting) word used for slaves in South Africa, where the slaves from the northern African areas were sold by the adherents to the said religion.

But if your surface situation isn't good (lack of trees and other water capturing/retaining systems), you will eventually run out of water.

Following permaculture principles, you can transform a region from barren (where water evaporates and leaves your area) to a relative oasis. There are several current desert permaculture projects that illustrate this. We just need to start doing this on a large scale - at least within and around regions of population. Then much more of the pumped water will remain in the local system. As a bonus, local climates will be cooler on average. And you can grow a lot of food, if you choose to.

Extremist web sites do seem like awful incubators. I also have to think that a culture that worships celebrity, combined with guaranteed instant fame/notoriety for perpetrators via extensive news coverage ("if it bleeds, it leads") is also part of the incentive for murder.

> "The people using the checklists have little ability to change them or to improve them"

I was listing to an interview with the author of The Checklist Manifesto, Atul Gawande, and he cited this as one of the main reasons why attempts to use them fail in some organisations. He seems a big proponent of the people using checklists being the ones who should write and imporve them or at least be involved, and that they be kept short and focused. They shouldn't be stuffed with needless detail, they are not instruction manuals.

Checklists imposed from above without input from those who use them is just another version of beauracratic organisations imposing processes on people.
So if CVS wanted to sell their store drug brands at Walmart and Walmart refused, would that be anti competitive?
There's more commonalities than just "dictatorship". Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Jordan and Syria are all made up of multiple competing groups (tribes, religious sects, etc.) and the dictator is carrying out a delicate balancing act where the various groups are played off one another.

Germany, South Korea, Taiwan, Japan, and Singapore at one point all had dictators, but they also had a strong sense of national identity. The dictators didn't have to worry about military coups led by ethnic/religious/tribal minorities, so they could allow their militaries to be powerful and independent enough to overthrow the state (because they wouldn't).
This seems like a “cultural” issue you want to investigate before you start working somewhere. The problem is, you need to drill down to technical staff, in private, to have any hope of getting an honest answer, as all managers seem to fervently believe that their staff is going to write documentation.

Personally, I am NOT in the “self documenting” camp. I’m more on the side of what research there is that suggests that summary documentation for modules/routines saves about 10% of the time when you go to reread some code. Also, the “self documenting code” side seems to be under the impression that I actually want to read their code - AT ALL - when I could often avoid having to do so, at least for large swaths.

That said, the developers who prefer not to document should stick to themselves, and away from thos of us who wish that they did. Thus, “cultural issue”, I think both sides will be happier if they stay away from each other. Yeah, this feels like Steve Yeagge’s “software liberal vs conservative” sort of axis.

I’m glad they didn’t teach “self documenting mathematics” back when I was in school :-)

This seems equivalent to an argument against the concept of laws in general: "Some good things were outlawed before, so we shouldn't have any laws at all". I don't think that's a good argument for complete lawlessness, and I don't think yours is a good argument for lawlessness on the internet.
