My usual "tail" is not tail -f, but tail -n 100. In fact, I jump around a ton doing tails and heads with varying linecounts, and if it gets unweildy even after all of that, that's when I pipe to less and look at it.

My major justification is I use tail and head constantly, every single day, and it's rarely on system logging. It's java logs, it's python logs, it's rust logs. I'm not going to be giving up tail or head any time soon.

Now I have to type "journalctl --help" every single time I want to look at a system or daemon log, which isn't super common, and when I do need to I'm already frustrated something isn't working.

Put another way, this is the exact WORST time to throw up more roadblocks over something. That's why I assert it should be logged twice, and for those who don't want it to be chewing up diskspace or want to relocate it, well, that's where you can configure it.

I just want my old log files back in their old locations without forcing me to sift through man pages when all I really want to do is figure out why the fucking bluetooth keeps dropping connection. I understand why others see this as a great step forward but it sounds more like the windows registry and event viewer to me than it does the configuration file and log file approach I adore from my unix systems. I'm sure the registry and event viewer has a lot of devoted fans as well; the difference is it's been there for most of my life (or at least, the parts where I was doing more than playing X-Wing vs Tie Fighter), which is why I mostly just wandered away. I'm not a sysadmin, I don't try to be and I don't want to be, and it seems like systemd is hellbent on forcing me to be one whether I want to be or not and I am so not here for it.

It goes on to give tips to managers for spotting union activity.
“Make it a point to regularly talk to associates in the break room. This will help protect you from accusations that you were only in the break room to spy on pro union associates,” the video says.

On internal company email lists and chat groups on Thursday and Friday that Recode viewed, Amazon white-collar workers expressed dismay over a report from Vice News that the company’s top lawyer had referred to a recently fired warehouse worker as “not smart, or articulate” and implied that executives should use that to help squelch worker unionization efforts.

> Sure, here's a Cochrane review that shows the opposite of what you say.

It doesn't.

> Have you looked at the scientific literature on this?

Yes, I have, including this particular review as well as several of the reviewed papers.

I have yet to find a single convincing study that shows that simple masks protect the wearer against viruses. If it existed, people would be waving it around and governments would have no reason to not ask people to wear them. Simple masks were never in short supply.

This review makes abundantly clear that virtually all the studies are of poor quality. Note that the effect found in this review is not that large (+13% over washing hands) whereas the effect of wearing a gown is much larger (+27% over washing hands). Yet I haven't seen any big discussion on what kind of gowns people should be wearing out in public.

The big difference here is the stage is automatic, and it supports multiple types of illumination.

I've built high-end 3D microscopes using aluminum extrusion and 3d printed parts before (with commercially produced objectives, but everything else pretty much sourced from places like Adafruit and OpenBuilds). I got pretty good results and contributed the hardware drivers to MicroManager (an open source tool to drive many different scopes with the same UI).

In retrospect, I would have instead found a way to get a Nikon Ti scope body and accessorize that. It's hard to replicate the high quality and full ecosystem of the Ti for anything less than the list price of a Ti.
Indeed, it is a cool idea to generate an SVG using it.

Disclaimer: I work at Backblaze. I'm also not a lawyer. :-)

> Can Amazon actually patent their API (per the google vs oracle case) - basically like prevent other vendors to provide S3 APIs so that Amazon can lock in users.

Most likely yes. Backblaze plans going forward are to fully, uncompromisingly maintain our original native B2 APIs for a few reasons including this concern.

It's probably up to Amazon whether they want to boot all 3rd parties off their S3 API. Backblaze has a viable fallback if that occurs. I hope for customer's sake Amazon doesn't declare war in that fashion.

If Amazon decides on this path, internally at Backblaze we have discussed immediately doing the opposite - declaring for all of time anybody can copy our B2 APIs. Remember, our APIs are technically superior to the S3 APIs. They are lower cost to implement, and are shockingly easier to use for developers. They don't make all the mistakes S3 made. We had the luxury of learning from all their mistakes over the years. :-)

> This is maybe a radical argument, but I make it in good faith; if your business can only exist by paying workers at or below poverty wages, and/or enacting dehumanizing controls, it probably shouldn't exist. If the demand for the product or service is sufficient, price should follow accordingly to make that business viable and profitable. Saying a business can't afford to pay workers a living wage and treat them right is equivalent to unintentionally saying 'the business can't exist without worker exploitation'. I do not believe that is a defensible position if you don't axiomatically accept worker exploitation.

I respect your sincere intentions here, but I do object to that proposal, and I hope that there can be a constructive dialog on the subject.

I think my primary objection is to the description of the small pizzeria as being exploitative. Sure, the workers are not payed very much, but the power differential is very small. It seems much more likely that the economic relationship is genuinely one of mutual benefit, and I have a hard time finding a moral objection to that.

My other objection is to the ramifications of such a policy on a broader society. It seems inevitable to me that in such a society, everyone would be forced to be clients of large, faceless entities, be they private corporations or governmental entities. That we could rely on either of these institutions to protect individuals from exploitation is highly dubious. To my mind, it is the very existence of intermediary institutions (like small businesses) which are the best safeguards of individual autonomy and well-being.
The best way to treat an endowment is like a retirement fund, except the goal is for the institution to never die and therefore to never exhaust the endowment. If the endowment is invested and makes gains, the institution can grow the endowment (which is necessary for it not to be devalued by inflation over time) and also spend some of the returns.

While I wouldn't argue leaving endowments completely untouched in this situation is necessary, I think saying that "the colleges/universities that aren't managed by complete idiots use these endowments to hedge exactly this rot of risk" and criticizing them for investing their endowments is a dramatic oversimplification of the situation.

Well Amazon has a history of mistreating workers. So, why do we think they are likely mistreating workers? It's because they have a long & well-document track record of doing so.

It is nice. Thanks, I was genuinely curious - I hadn’t seen or heard of it before the Queen mentioned it. Rainbows seem a slightly naive choice in that case but if it’s an organic grass roots thing that’s pure chance, of course.
Why would the workers organize and risk their careers without just cause?

He mentions petitions with thousands of signatures. Are all of those people just…I mean, what?

If they were lying, then Amazon could easily come out and say, "They're asking for regular breaks every four hours and we literally give them that. They ask for PPE and every employee is given X, Y, Z. They want us to reduce our carbon footprint by 10%, here is an independent audit showing 12% reduction." (etc.)

In situations of extreme power imbalance, it's not unreasonable to default trust the person not in power who is taking far greater risk.

Sometimes you'll be wrong! But the burden of proof is on people in power.

Now I'm intrigued. What do anti-malarials do to healthy people? Does anyone take them recreationally to experience this effect, the way they do other "weird downers" like mescaline/DMT/salvinorin/etc? Or is the psychotropic effect of the drug predicated on actually having malaria?
Clojure is a good solution for many problems (obviously not all) mostly because it reaches many capable runtimes, java, js, python and interop is first class

What you might be encountering is after a few years of Clojure becomes such that you'd rather not be writing anything else and that is semi-practical as opposed to many other niche specialised languages where it's not so realistic

Libraries, not frameworks is a point of contention even within the Clojure community, libraries tend to compose and upgrade better over time but there are also frameworks in Clojure

Luckily we don't have one that dominates the language so totally that it cannot be ignored despite what inevitable deficiencies it has

Keep in mind most Clojure developers came from other languages and have Vietnam flash-backs to many frameworks

I've found that phabricator seems to lack support for more complicated workflows so you end up having to hack together things using tags/workboards/milestones to mirror how your process works. This could be a positive though if you've suffered through really crappily configured JIRA projects.

To phab's credit, the web UX of phab is more respectful than JIRA (10 second load times anyone? constantly (re)moving things) but I've used go-jira[1] for the past 2 years to great effect and there's simply no equivalent of that for phab.

It could also be that I'm just stuck in my habits and don't like change - or the way my current orgs phab install is configured (I've never been a JIRA or phab administrator so I don't have much insight here)

Eh. They're the new shiny. And they do make certain things a bit nicer for some job roles, at the cost of shoving the complexity somewhere else.

In particular, it has been useful to move our engineers to developing using it. We'll probably experiment with using it in production for a few things at some point, just for consistency, but it buys us zero value there otherwise. (We will never run "in the cloud" because it would be cost-prohibitive, at least with current cloud revenue models.)

There will be another new shiny in a few years, at which point the True Believers will move on and tell you how you'll lose your job if you don't get on board that train, too.
Hmm, I think I've seen this happen to us by design.

I worked at a place that hired off shore (European) consultants for a part of our product and my colleagues would constantly complain about the quality of the consultants work and skillset.

I didn't complain[0]

Eventually corporate switched out the current body shop with equally bad off shore one from a different European country, but this time around they'd invite them to our HQ before hand for a week to to have lunch and spend time with before being sent back home to work remotely with us.

This time around no in my team said anything bad about the new group. These consultants weren't better than the previous ones at all, and ended up doing more damage eventually. Hell, some of the mistakes they did, the previous ones would do as well

Granted you could attribute it to "what's the point", but I suspect largely because of what you mentioned, face to face made them mellow... or from my PoV, weaker.

1: The reason I didn't complain is because they weren't any worse than my in house colleagues anyway and I found the irony funny and I was on my way out anyway.

No point in stepping into the fire unless I can control it.

You're just calling all sorts of things "technology". Yes, you can make that definition fit, somewhat hazharzously: maybe ideas, concepts, ideologies are, in a certain light, "tools" to use to get some result.

But how does that help? You're just throwing away whatever nuance is captured by the existing terminology. Are people more likely to rationally use and improve liberal democracy if you frame it in technological terms? If you believe so go ask emacs users what they like best about vim...
>If you're Intel CEO, how are you going to choose?

Both. There is no reason why it is one or the other. And this is not just in hindsight, I said this even before BK becomes the CEO.

In the short term, or at leats in the terms of CEO thinking, it is the best to concentrate on the money making platform. In the longer term, this will come back and haunt them.
Even with correct PATH management, Windows still hijacks the command when python is not installed; that it the mechanism it uses to advise you to install it. Linux distributions use a different mechanism that maintain the expected behaviour of there not being any program/comnand called "python" when python is not installed.

Windows solution in this case is a lazy hack that makes the system more brittle.

As an aside, Linux distributions tend not to have this sort of PATH management issue because (for better or worse) they tend not to modify PATH when installing software.

Price? I have no idea what the markup on the touchbar is, but I'd guess it's at least in the $50 range, no?

When you're buying a $1650-4000 machine, $50-100 probably isn't gonna make potential buyers balk.

When you're buying a $99 keyboard, $150 is a fairly big difference. And honestly given the $99 price tag on Magic Keyboard, I'd guess Magic Keyboard + Touch bar would be like $199 at least. How many people do you think would buy it at that price tag? You also have to consider that Magic Keyboard currently works with windows, linux, etc, so the potential users are much wider than a Touch bar enabled keyboard, which would only work as intended with macs.
I really wish there was a stand-alone cloud provider to work with.

AWS is a part of this unethical beast, GCP is a side project of a huge advertising company, Azure is under the wing of a major monopolist.

I guess there is Linode, but their services are more of a traditional VPS than a cloud host.

It's kind of crazy that most of the net income of Amazon comes from this business, but we've accepted that a stand alone cloud business won't work for some reason.

tbray.org has been /.'d (is that still a thing?).

Either that, or the strongly worded anti-defamation language found in Amazon's employment agreement has come into play, forcing it to be shutdown.
I've built several scopes by hand and looked at various projects; this one is far and away the best combination of design, price, and features that I've seen. It's not 'perfect' (if you really care about that, go to a top lab and build your own scope from scratch), but given the limits of what's available, it's pretty damn impressive.

Just compare the incentives for both parts to be dishonest and you have your answer. What would workers gain from being dishonest except the risk of being fired or retaliated upon?

And why, if organizers are lying, can't Amazon just disprove them by showing to the public their perfect working conditions?

Finally, isn't it a natural instinct to side with the weaker element in a fight?

Does Amazon really need your support, or are the workers one paycheck away from homelessness in need of it?
Is that to their US datacenter or the European (Amsterdam) one? So far the European one has been pretty snappy for me, ping is ~20ms from my home ISP (Germany) and TTFB is good enough that I can instantly saturate my 300MBit home ISP line with concurrency of ~ 500 downloading small objects (5b-1MB), but I haven't looked at min/max/avg/median yet.

BIG gotcha btw: You have to choose between US and EU when you create your B2 account! You can't have buckets in the other location, so that means you'll need two accounts if you want to do that.
Does Social Engineering count too?
I think all of them, given that workers are severely underpaid compared to the value they provide, and have no means to influence the future of the company, other than to speak up and be fired.

Though it's possible that the parent was referring to Amazon warehouses where workers had to pee in a bottle to keep their productivity points above the cutoff level.
I very much hesitate to say which is more or less courageous. Certainly it takes fortitude to sit through the shitstorm that would result when you go to the media while you're still an employee. However you're still being paid, and forcing them to fire you, so there's some offsetting benefits.
are there any plans to host public datasets like aws pds ?
where there are dips in productivity it can also be that they're getting up to speed on an area of the codebase they are not familiar with. Ramp-up time is always difficult to account for but is absolutely something everyone needs when looking at new code.
I don't know why something so easily disproved is being repeated so often. The worst-case of an economic shutdown is not worse than 2 million dead people.

Added bonus: the economic outcome of 2 million dead people is bad too, perhaps worse than a shutdown of (largely) healthy people. It's not an either/or, economic hardship right now is unavoidable. The choice is between getting a handle on the virus or not, and thousands dead instead of millions.
The ones that have been in the news for years for being sweat shop level. The ones that 60 Minutes did an exposition on, and that activists have been trying to draw attention to. I don't understand what you want by asking this question, an address?
So the fact that I can't filter my Amazon search by price until I choose one of multiple plausible "departments" is attributable to Amazon simply not having enough software engineers to spare for the past decade? I doubt it.
