I also happen to work with biologists and I found no such thing as you describe. People aren't afraid to talk about sex differences. There's no hidden truth that everyone speaks in undertones about and is scared of mouthing out loud. People don't mindlessly transpose what they know about their model organisms to humans. People don't buy into evopsych crap either. (There's a reason evopsych papers have trouble even making it into PNAS.) The community isn't filled with Damores either. So maybe you could clarify what you're talking about because I seem to have lost you there.
I've got an ansible playbook that modifies my ~/.config/lxc/config.yml for certain deployment scenarios.

Due to LXC now being a snap, the file is simply not there.
I guess it's 5 layers deep in namespaces, overlayfs and other stuff.
I was so fed up with this that I removed Ubuntu (and replaced it with Gentoo).

My comments are about Thinkpads. And I am assuming Fedora or another stability motivated distro just to be clear.

Dell is also an option. Historically, I’ve seen discounts for selecting Linux. But it’s also been an older version based on when I’ve shopped. That probably varies relative to model introduction and distro release cycles.
Sorry, I meant up to ~1.8TB. When that's possible 1TB is trival.

Regarding your side point, there existed 320GB, 750GB and 1.5TB hard drives, so 1.5TB or even a 1.75TB would not be a weird size for a sku.
Even worse: they succeed wildly, to the extent they never need funding again after a series C, buy out the VC's, and stay private. This is roughly what I'm expecting from one of the startups I worked at. I already know they'll never need to take another dime in funding, so I'm just waiting for them to tell me how my shares are going to become worthless.
You can’t honestly be comparing us to those things…Mars is cold because it has essentially no atmosphere, and if there was a supervolcano eruption, it’d really easy to tell. Geothermal vents don’t make the whole planet consistently warmer for decades on end.
Like measuring nitrogen content as a proxy for protein?
The asymptomatic point goes to both directions. I don't know who I need protection from as an uninfected person and I don't know when I need to wear a mask to protect others as a potential asymptomatic carrier.

Show HN: Sync your transactions to Google Sheets
Around the middle of last decade, a significant chunk of programmers decided the following:

- For loops are evil

- Lambda overhead doesn't exist

- Nor does the overhead of looping over the same thing N times

Whilst I kind of broadly agree with the article, sometimes you just need a for loop.
Disclaimer: I grew up in Italy and frequently travel there.

Best pizza I ever had was in Vienna, yes, made by an Italian but not the classical Napolitan pizza.
I strongly prefer Rome as reference for it.
And also ask people if they really want all of "Individuals and interactions over processes and tools, Working software over comprehensive documentation, Customer collaboration over contract negotiation, Responding to change over following a plan." That might not really make sense in some industries...

And if they really want to consider all of that in a dichotomous way. Who really does not want "working software", and why would I even have to "prefer" that? this is just too much fundamental that we could as well say: we don't want to work on garbage projects, and it is stupid to have an extremely good documentation of a pile of crap. But why jettison documentation if "working software" is not even considered optional to begin with? I fucking want stellar documentation. Because why not? I'm tired of reading source code all day to try to understand what things were even supposed to do...

In some industries "agile" in its original definition can make sense. In others, not at all. Yet, tons of people will pretend they do "Agile" regardless of what it is, what they think it is, and of what they do. This is sometimes some kind of management virtue signaling; except it is not signaling positive things anymore to those who work.

It really has no meaning anymore. To be honest I'm not even sure it ever had, as implemented by most, out of the industry it came from (with associated practices that were also highly contextual)

People should just avoid focusing on fashionable shallow words, and skip right to the ideas: if all of Agile and even all of Scrum is what will make your project shine, just do it, but writing essays about it is not really doing it, nor is pretending it is a kind of universal panacea, nor constructing consulting services around cult practices. If you must do the complete opposite; do the complete opposite. And tell everybody you are "agile" without an once of shame, if that can help raising money or stupid shit like that -- I mean what is even more agile than doing otherwise than "Agile" if it is a better idea in your context; so you are not even lying :p
Hey fellow hackers. I made a tool (called Cheddar) that connects your bank accounts to Google Sheets and imports transactions automatically. It was originally a shitty little Python script that I was using personally but decided to make it a "thing". I've had friends and family signup and use it but now I'm looking for feedback from a more honest user base ;)

I'd love to know if you're into spreadsheet budgeting and what you'd expect from such a tool as I try to grow it into a full-blown product! I'm all ears!
Void Linux: Some Context for Recent Events
Pop!_Os is basically just Ubuntu but better. They will have flatpak integration with the store app with 20.04, but the official stance is to use the deb packages first, and then fall back to flatpak if there is no deb available.
It's the TESmart KVM Switch... HDMI 4K 60hz 4:4:4, I like it okay. Seemed about the best option on Amazon, but mixed reviews. My display is 60hz, and I don't play many games, so it works well enough for my use.

I did get hdmi adapters for my pi4's, but haven't actually tried them yet. May need different adapters/cables if you're going to/from mini-dp or another interface. back of the switch looks like USB-B Female (standard USB cable, not 3) and HDMI Female.

I've only been using it for about 4 weeks, but so far working well.

As of 2019, Amazon employed 798,000 employees, so we're looking at almost 1 million people, earning $15/hour at a minimum, with 401(k), health, vision, and dental benefits. Absolutely nuts.
Is that an important distinction though? In a clean room, there shouldn't be viral particles in the room so the suit wearer would be equally safe if their suit was positive or negative pressure (so long as everyone else has their suits the same way).
Does it force the community solution to improve? If the options are community or Canonical does that competition have benefits to both? Not sure Canonical are thinking that explicitly but maybe it’s just hedging their bets if the community solution doesn’t work out.
Inertia.

I recently changed my position to "surgical masks for everyone, N95 respirators for people at risk."

I'm immunosuppressed. Transplant when I was a kid. For 30+ years, I had it pounded into my head that surgical masks will not protect me. Especially if I share a space with others for longer than 30 minutes. Because exhaled water vapor saturates the mask and then air comes around the sides.

This is still true.

What's new is understanding that surgical masks protects everyone else from me. I think it's called "source prevention". IIRC, infected people wearing masks cuts risk of transmission by 70%.

And because people can be asymptomatic for up to 14 days, that means everyone should be wearing masks. Just in case.

WHO, CDC, others were not "wrong". Just out of date. It takes longer than instantaneous transmission for best available science to percolate out. Especially in a noisy environment.

Sure, we westerners could have been more proactive about adopting practices from societies who'd already adapted. But the hard data is still very fresh.

Further, none of the advice, messaging was making a distinction between masks and respirators AND many people hoarded respirators AND healthcare workers haven't gotten the N95 PPE they need.

Of all the things which went sideways, the suboptimal advice on masks, now since revised, isn't even in the top 10. Dwelling on it while we're still not taking the steps to end social distancing seems premature. There will be plenty of time to apportion blame later.
Are you aware that you can set DOCKER_HOST to something like `ssh://root@example.com` and then run git/editor/docker locally, and the docker client will invoke `ssh` to connect to the remote host and access the socket/daemon? The builds all happen remotely, on big/fast boxes.

Coupled along with something like docker-machine for instantiating those remote instances, what does this setup not offer that yours does?
You need documentation for the insurance company to pay for visits/procedures.
I think you may be judging a book by the cover here. I'd imagine that those 12 rules are metaphors, and expounded upon.
> So at the end of the day, as you have demonstrated, you get a non-post-stratified posterior that encompasses the point estimate they gave (1.5%), but your confidence interval is different, and perhaps the mean is lower.

You cannot use confidence intervals to argue the validity of a point estimate inside of the CI. When using frequentist methods, we usually have some sort of control group where we can use a paired test to compare sample means in order to reject a hypothesis.

I wanted to use Bayesian methods not because they were more complex, but because I felt that when a control group is not available, a Bayesian analysis would be a lot more obvious about surfacing uncertainty. Bayesian methods also allow us to actually simulate P(prevalence | data). And no, just because 1.5% is in the 95th percentile of the posterior prevalence, does not mean you can say that 1.5% is a valid estimate. What the CI shows is that, with 97% confidence, the prevalence is somewhere between -0.3% and 1.7%. Additionally, the mean of this posterior came out to 0.8% prevalence, which to me is good as, to me, saying it's inconclusive. In fact, if we use the median of P(prevalence | data), then we get very close to 0.8%, so this test is basically showing that the prevalence in this population is negligible.
PCs still support for 5.25" discs, but the 3.5" disks are better (smaller, more durable, more data per disk, unless you're comparing 5.25" high density vs 3.5" double density. By the 90s, cd-rom was clearly the future, but a boot disk came in handy, so one floppy drive was enough for most people. 3.5" disks also had the 2.88 drives, and LS-120 drives with compatible form factors.
Most likely they download some things when you first run the software. This pretty common but usually opaque to the user due to it being in .local or .cache.
Not quite. As I understand it, the hardware rips disks and encodes them in proprietary SPS flux image formats (.IPF, .STREAM, and .DRAFT) subject to a very weird license agreement.[1] SPS does not assert ownership of the encoded content but does assert that content encoded with their software can not be used for commercial purposes. I suspect this “bit coloring” is at the root of why the Internet Archive made the decision to no longer accept Kryoflux based images and why it is not a good candidate for archival purposes.

I am disabled and have played a bunch of games (DRM-free only, via GOG or Humble Bundle) and I can confirm that Unity games are extremely common, including on tiny 2d games, visual novels, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if over 5 of 8 games in the past decade (or at least the last 8 years) used Unity.

Interestingly, from the Wikipedia page it seems that Unity was a result of "our game didn't do well but we made awesome tools". They now have 2000+ employees according to Wikipedia.

The employee numbers on some of these companies is misleading. Nintendo does not just make video games, but the employee count covers everyone. CD Projekt employee count includes GOG and is somehow mostly the developer side, but GOG still has 172 employees (but not a single employee over 50, and only 2 in all of CD Projekt :/, also for anyone else wondering while I'm looking at the stats, GOG is a bit under and the rest of CD Projekt a bit over 25% women). It looks like Valve does both development and Steam with 360ish employees.

Also publishers often do quite a bit of QA and such for games they publish (even if it often doesn't seem like it :/), so comparing publishers with studios that have outside publishers is also not getting the full picture.

Also worth noting the open source RenPy that a number of visual novels use.
Yeah, but then you enter the territory of "if an employee works at home and no one is around to see it, do they do work?"
Snaps are great for auto updating software, especially the ones from JetBrains.

I think most users will be fine. Those of us who need more fine grained control, can have it.
This reminds me why the agile "customer" concept is so important.

As a customer, you get to decide what you want to buy, and you get to be happy or unhappy with the delivered product.

But you don't get to control or even monitor the work in the factory/kitchen/etc.

That's instead the job of a boss! Of course, an agile team also has a boss. But it's not the customer.

I would rather not subsidise any of them, and anyway, finding some solution now to a problem that might or might not happen in the future is a waster of time and money. They can't even model the current virus but want to destroy the whole economy for some future problem based on even more complicated system that they probably can't model properly. I would rather wait and see how things develop and then deal with it when it comes
without huge minus in the bank from all kind of useless subsidies and "new deals".
Funny how this argument is rarely leveled against the defense industry, the vast proportion of which is at best boondoggle busywork and at worst outright grift.
UPDATE: Best option: Use .gitignore files directly: `--filter=':- .gitignore'`. See FILTER RULES in rsync's manpage for explanation.
'no risk to human health' yaaa right!!
The write load will be nearly constant but it won’t be sequential. The host device is going to have to update file system data structures periodically as it is writing the video stream; those structures will be at various different places on the drive. So the write load will look like 99% sequential, 1% random. That small amount of random writes in a non-contiguous stream is enough to cause SMR-related rewrite stuttering, especially since with DMSMR the host has no idea how logical blocks presented by the drive map to SMR regions.
If you're willing to share the reports you wrote up, I'd be curious to take a look at them.
My understanding is the end game for that is still a vaccine or herd immunity. It just slows the process down enough that you don’t have more people dying because of a lack of equipment.

I remember updating Ubuntu once. It bricked my installation for some reason. Ever since then I rarely update software.

With Ubuntu I just wait until the next LTS.
You've really got three regimes. Really big things are ballistic in your sense that the dominant force is gravity. Smaller things are also sensitive to bulk air movement. Really small things aren't affected much by gravity, and brownian motion is more important.

When these guys are saying "ballistic", they mean that the droplet is big enough that gravity is important, and that it's going to hit the ground in a reasonable amount of time and not hang around in the air until convection/diffusion spread it evenly throughout the room.
That's my point that supports "America is the only country in the world that still doesn't use metric units." - well, they tried. Many times: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrication_in_the_United_Stat...

It is sometimes hard to get rid of 100+ years of history, in the case of typography thats probably longer.

Ah right, pizzarte was another one that I tried in NY, almost forgot. It’s really good, but still not at the level at the best that I tried in London or in Italy in my opinion.
ART is an AOT complier, is it not?
lol, see my first post in this thread. I said I didn't like the fact that the USA calls the ROC "Taiwan", and I think you are overestimating my ability to influence USA foreign policy. The USA doesn't have formal diplomatic relations with the ROC so using "Taiwan" is a kludge.
I’ve started picking the bottom result of google on page ten for fun...you get some really wacky content that clearly isn’t optimized for SEO or isn’t relevant at all.

Example: last night I searched “Robin Williams bipolar” and got a page ten result that was a conspiracy theory on Taylor Swift being a psychopath.
So just to clarify, your position is that Trump literally told people to inject themselves with disinfectant? And that this was part of some plan of his, something from his playbook?

Trump said it was a joke today - if you saw the original video he sort of chuckled when he followed up on the UV treatment idea with the suggestion that disinfectant could be used inside the body, turning to his team and saying "but you'd have to use medical doctors for that". Maybe that's what he was referring to, or maybe it was some later exchange. Regardless, the original context was simply that scientists presented some findings about what kills the virus, and Trump followed up with some questions about whether they could lead to some new types of treatment. That's it. The rest is a game of Get Trump.
Snap stores user-specific application data in /home/user/snap/ folder. Like when packaged application wants to write into $HOME, snap gives it some sub-folder inside /home/user/snap.

IBM pcs generally had double-sided drives. No need to flip, because the drive had heads for the top and bottom. Other computers varied, usually depending on when they introduced floppy drives (double sided is more complex, but better experience).

Note that the data orientation will be different on the bottom of a single sided disk written with the disk upside down than if written on a double sided drive.
You'd be surprised. Whenever my helm snap updates it breaks all the authentication I previously set up. And I get a weird error. That's not me needing fine grained control. It's just snaps being awful.
I came to the realization that my home server doesn't need Ubuntu, it needs Debian.
I’m not sure the point. You can’t trust the company, and you certainly can’t trust the recruiters.

The only real way to get the data points for “great team culture” is to ask literally everyone but the recruiters and managers.
I often and involuntarily share an elevator with other people in my building.

You are aware that the virus spreads primarily through air?
I spent just as long fighting snap when I wanted to use a custom font with ligatures. User-installed fonts don't work with snap, apparently. I would've spent substantially less time figuring out the problem, but I didn't even know I had the snap version - I typed `apt install code` and transparently got a snap package instead of a deb.
There's a race condition in Done() between ctx.Value() and close(); two goroutines simultaneously calling Done() can both see Value() ok, then second one calling close() will panic.

Mixing multiple concurrency coordinators (in this case a context and a channel) is tricky, and Go adds little gotchas to the mix. You need a mutex to make all operations atomic across both the context and channel.
>And now for a minor complaint that also feels most user hostile to me: why do the snap developers think its ok to require a non hidden directory in $HOME? Seriously my home directory is MINE, if you have to store application state there at least have the decency to do it in a hidden directory.

You would avoid doing this in either style but instead build a query or batch.

A good argument for the second example is readability. The first one re-invents map & filter which are well known and quickly understood.
It's really impressive the amount of progress on Wine, specifically in the past 3-5 years. I mostly thank Valve and the gaming community for much of this. Not sure if any of this came out of Google's Stadia. But these efforts really make gaming on Linux more possible. Proton in particular far easier for most than anything that came before.

Not everything runs, but Linux on the desktop is definitely a real option for many more people today than even a couple years ago.
I'm not convinced, as it creates the possibility of egregious violations of community standards being difficult for moderators to detect.

Less of an issue, but still worth some thought: Just like paywalled submissions must be by-passable so that we can all share in a conversation equally, base64 threatens to create subthreads that are not equally accessible. (Trivial easy if you are on a laptop, not on mobile).
I have lots of Taiwanese friends, but I appreciate your concern. I do use 中華民國 when talking about politics or anything related to the government or cross-strait relations. If I'm talking about the island of Taiwan specifically, I have no problem saying "Taiwan".
Anywhere that does SAFe is somewhere to avoid.

Exactly, then unscrupulous people adulterate it with melamine to artificially boost measured protein.
In other countries employers have a duty of care towards their employees, they just can't use them up until they aren't good any longer. I note there are continuous reports about dozens of people falling sick with coronavirus at Amazon warehouses, and in the past there reports of were ambulances parked outside Amazon facilities because it's cheaper to cart someone off to the hospital with heatstroke than to provide proper air conditioning.
