I had a libertarian coworker who didn't understand why people didn't just vote with their feet on all of this stuff.

The closest I got to explaining it to him is that Advertising as a profession in the US is the successor to WWII psychological warfare. People are being paid to use your instincts and your worst impulses against you. All day. Every day. It started out weaponized, and now it's industrialized.

To opt out requires a level of enlightenment (literally and figuratively) that few invest in, and some doubt they could achieve even if it were a priority.

We have black hat hackers attacking our brains, and only occasionally do the white hat hackers get any sort of publicity, and some of those have less substance but are more approachable than the real experts. These people are almost always standing on the shoulders of giants, and thus their work feels derivative (eg, Marie Kondo), which is off-putting to people. Their style-over-substance makes them in effect hyper-palatable people, which is a form of cognitive dissonance with the message.
Yeah, my experience is related, in that it seems to think "lamp" and "lights" are synonyms, so I have a lamp in my living room, but "turn off the living room lamp" turns off all the lights in the living room, not just the light called "living room lamp." It's like, at this intermediate level of intelligence that's particularly annoying: too smart to just literally use the names I assigned, but not smart enough to actually intelligently apply synonyms or fuzzy matching. Worst of all possible worlds.

> One last beat from a Zhihu commentator discussing the importance of studying official behavior as a matter of science: “the behavior of officials is a scientific discipline, it should be studied professionally as a scientific subject, just as understanding sexual chemistry is a scientific subject. Chinese people are generally too embarrassed to openly discuss matters of sexual harmony, and likewise are too ashamed to investigate the logic behind official actions.”

If you're not allowed to conclude that the whole system has to go, then it is impossible to have any credibility in saying that the whole system doesn't have to go.
I’m sure he wants us to “do our own research”, which really just translates to watching conspiracist youtube channels and paid right wing pundits.
I don't think that's true. They had relatively small-scale problems with huge, but narrowly distributed consequences. We have global-scale problems with huge, widely distributed consequences. It's great that we can predict storms and mitigate droughts... but that will not help if someone sets off an accidental nuclear exchange. That peasant from the 1800s and I are exactly equal in our ability to deal with that sort of problem.
When they bought Songza back in 2014 and integrated it into GP Music, I found their recommendations started to be much better

Its as if they threw that all progress out with YT Music.

I'm willing to give the service a few months to clean up major bugs and such and see how it is then, but I'm still looking for alternatives

I don't see it. Twitter could retain an archive of those tweets, while simultaneously not publishing those tweets on their website (''deleting'' them.)
No one has to prove anything to you, you know? People can just say things that happened in their lives and others listening can choose to believe them or not.

It probably is that simple; not sure why I'm being downvoted for pointing out the obvious.

Ah fuck it; nuking my account. I shouldn't waste time here arguing with people.
I'm no netsec expert but this type of programable usb devices sounds like a security risk specially on a company machine with access to an internal network.
I totally empathize with all the reasons you gave.

However, Google share price and market saturation tell me the whatever damage has been done is worth no follow up from them.
If its a scanned PDF (essentially a collection of 1 image per page), there would need to be an OCR step to get some text out first. Tesseract would work for this.

Once that's done, you have all the options available to perform that search. But I don't know of a search tool that does the OCR for you. I did read a blog post of someone uploading PDFs to google drive (they OCR them on upload) as an easy way to do this.
If she had used a company printer to print pro-union fliers and then shared them I'm 90% she could be fired for misuse of company resources. At to my intuition this feels like using the company printer without permission.
The articles title is way beyond the scope of the content, I.e. the content is about 3 major issues observed in the ranks of CCP & China's government officials. It does not go through the whole official promotion system.

> but also serves as an implicit suggestion of the superiority of the Chinese system in contrast to western democratic systems.

This is clearly a wrong impression. The superiority is always in the context of being for China. Without that quote, it becomes a challenge to US hegemony. Although, it should be mentioned that, no superpower can convince the old one to peacefully transfer the power.
I tried to spin up a repl.it session for the first time yesterday, with the intent to hack on clojure solutions to Advent of Code 2020. After a while I just got pretty frustrated battling the editor's default/only formatting settings. Maybe I missed something, but they seem badly mismatched to how clojure code (and I'd say lisp generally) is normally formatted, it felt like writing clojure in a javascript editor.
I own an Apple Watch 6, but I'll tell you the problem: charging $400 for a watch.

If they got down to $100 or so, you'd see wide adoption. Which is why the Wyze Watch at $20 is so fascinating to me. At this price, you can just buy one instead of a Casio.
pdfgrep has a --cache option since a while ago :) Not sure why they don't enable it by default. Still, this is much faster.
first time I hear of both Front and Missive. After browsing Front I felt like I was drowning in marketing, whereas missive just felt so clear and upfront in comparison. Also really liked their pixel blocking and refusal to use any![0] not very common in the industry.

We’re currently on Helpscout and quite happy. But have to admit I felt very tempted to switch to missive after visiting their page. And I didn’t even look for an alternative nor have any major issues with helpscout to begin with.

Anyone with firsthand experience of any of those tools that can compare?

Bandwidth as well. Starlink can reach 100Mbps, and they're talking about 200Mbps. They can do that in part because they have more satellites.
Thanks! I built it several years ago and never really promoted it as it seemed to me like the ability to play on your phone was crucial, but not really possible to do with YouTube videos on iOS. Ahh well.
(Super naive layman question, I don't work in this space.)

What does this mean? I thought that Kubernetes manages Docker containers which makes the title kind of confusing.
That leak also mentioned that SpaceX had the option of manufacturing the terminals themselves, which might be what they ended up doing (and is certainly how the cost of $2400 can be reduced). If they manufacture Dishy themselves, they buy chips from ST and pay ST an additional fee for not buying 1,000,000 finished terminals.
As much as I love Docker as an excellent freelance developer tool for juggling customer environments, I just never understood the urge to run entire enterprises on containers. It certainly doesn't make things easier, faster, more secure, or cheaper; all it ever did was isolating shared library dependencies (a self-inflicted problem created due to overuse of shared libraries in F/OSS, since static linking has done just the same thing since the dawn of times; of course, in neither case do you get automatic security or stability updates which was the entire point of shared libs). Now they're removing Docker altogether from the k8s stack? So much for Docker's perceived "isolation" I guess.
Isn't LTE different than CDMA and GSM? A CDMA-less Verizon iPhone would support LTE (4g) only.

I remember reading of a mushroom expert who wound up needing a new liver because he misidentified some mushrooms.

If it can happen to the experts it can happen to me, so I generally steer clear of wild mushrooms.

However, if you are going to eat wild mushrooms, it's better to trust the experts than the non-experts, who get poisoned much more frequently.
How do people react?
Whatever excuses you like for your government doing things behind closed doors away from public accountability to the electorate.

That's not what I'm looking for in my elected officials.
Why? Seems to it’s like running a VC fund. One hit could justify all those experiments in perpetuity.
About a year ago, I discovered it was very helpful for me to have git branches ordered by "recently modified first":

From my `~/.gitconfig`:

[alias]
brt = "!git for-each-ref refs/heads --color=always --sort -committerdate --format='%(HEAD)%(color:reset);%(color:yellow)%(refname:short)%(color:reset);%(contents:subject);%(color:green)(%(committerdate:relative))%(color:blue);<%(authorname)>' | column -t -s ';'"

I always spent a lot of time being confused about branches, and never realised how easy the solution was.
This is a very weak article.It's very telling about the naivete(or arrogance?) of the author to conflate the US with the world. No, dear hipster "novelist", the world didnt suddenly turn out incomprehensible since some Americans chose Trump.Read some history, travel a little more, leave your coastal liberal bubble and you will see that as long as there have been humans in significant numbers the world has been complex and chaotic. You wont explain anything of value in your upcoming articles.
I echo this a lot but every subreddit is different, some will also be like HN, others like 4chan, so get to know your sub before dropping the puns. And some subs have other weird downvoting cultures where if you trip the wrong wire you get obliterated.
I'm more than a little suspicious of a bunch of Computer Science folks running some data through their machine learning tool and then trying to tell the vaccine makers they should change their recipe because of it.

Even assuming their data is correct, the variation in effectiveness is 10% and for people in their worst case scenario group it would still be one of the most effective vaccines every created.
Mining your CLI history for good Git aliases
Ah I see. You need a runtime in k8s that actually runs the containers that are in pods. So you can use Docker to run those containers, or containerd or whatever. Each of your k8s nodes has to have this program running to run the containers. So they don't want to support that first one.

Not a big deal. It's some backend stuff that's not interesting to people who use managed k8s. Cool cool.
this is spot on

I’m fairly certain that’s an indictment of your university instead of Repl.it.
Minor, but:

Once I accompanied a domestic delegation to visit the United States. After dinner, we asked the waiter for an invoice, but the waiter did not know what an invoice was, so we talked to the boss and explained to him that we need an invoice so that we can be reimbursed back in China. The restaurant boss listened to us with great bewilderment. He asked, “Aren't you eating for yourselves, so why are you having the government pay for it?”

When travelling on business, asking for a receipt to be reimbursed is very normal. Perhaps the problem was asking for an "invoice" instead of a "receipt"?
34 reporting in, it's a 30s advice if you are a computer jockey sitting all day every day.
It's still there. Just tested it with google.com/maps in Chrome 86 on Linux. Steps to reproduce:
1. Enter Street View
2. Scroll out a few clicks

Expected and observed behavior: the viewport switches to 3D-mode, with the view centered on the location and direction being observed in Street View.
Incredibly important that we have this record for court cases.

I mean, I disagree with most of the article so..
Health issues for racial minorities in the US are a result of structural racism, not their genetic makeup. Do vaccines fare worse with minorities because they aren't developed and tested on diverse genetic makeups? Or do they fare worse with people with health issues?

Prometheus can't even do bulk import.

How do you include that in a CI/CD environment with regression testing?
In this context of the zhihu commentary, the comments are made actually by the CCP official wannabe. They not only do not want to destroy the system, they are the most ardent supporters.

I come across a lot of such people online. The same bureaucratic disease of any established government.
I guess Spokane went downhill, I've last been there several years ago and the comments also seem to say the last couple of years homeless population exploded. Still, they seem to be describing abandoned parts of a shrinking city, not the entire place. In SF it's all over (I've lived in SOMA and Inner Richmond, and worked near Union Square). I'd expect the fact that SF is swimming in money (compared to Spokane) would have an opposite effect. So I don't think it's that "every city has problems". Even the cities on the same train line as SF don't have the same problems, nor do better run cities with less money with good weather (Texas, Utah, Florida). Same deal with Seattle, quickly going downhill with increasingly progressive City Council and major, while less-progressive cities across the bridge are doing just fine; and even stereo-typically poorer cities to the North and South don't look nearly as bad.

Follow-up: If you think that "rasterizer" is a good and accurate name for a polygon-transforming renderer, what would you call the rendering technology in the original Battlezone? It's not a ray-tracer. It works by taking line segments expressed as vectors in 3d space, and multiplying them through transformation matrices. But there are no rasters; it outputs to a vector display.

I admit, that's a rare example (though not unique; there's a reason wire-frames, as a display mode, came into existence). But I think it's absurd to say that the rasterizer is the heart of the polygon-transforming approach; the heart is the transformation matrix.
It makes things reproducible, and k8s is still containers just not docker
This is not Pfizer’s Vaccine. It’s Biontechs vaccine. Biontech is a German company. Pfizer “helps” to distribute it. Trump was not fair to not mention that it’s a German vaccine and tried to claim this success as an American-only success.
It's a fact that there's a genetic component in susceptibility to different diseases. One example: the 1918 Spanish Flu killed > 5 % of people on the Indian Subcontinent, but in China it was hardly noticeable in the death figures. Instead of pussyfooting around the issue of Race in America (it is an issue, mind), one should say that in population X the vaccine may be less efficaceous.
I agree it is amazing how well you can manage things when you can "reconcile" any worker complaints, very quickly. When those who are known to oppose or object to your plans are "reassigned" to a post in the Gobi.

And who of course would object when doing so would ding your "social credit" score and restrict your right to do things like travel, or access the internet.

I agree that single party states run very well, after all when you don't have to worry about pesky freedoms or rights it's amazing what you can accomplish.

Next up President Xi Jinping has a 99% approval rating. How does China produce such beloved politicians?
So... What's the better runtime alternatives?
Supposedly it was only personal email and not official email that got deleted.
My experience is poor memory :) After looking into it a bit, it seems that only the military is using phased array radars on boats. I think I misremembered an article about Garmin and Raytheon introducing solid state radars a few years ago
Yes it may not be a legal obligation, but there's probably no better way to dependably predict corporate behavior than to consider profit motive/investor ROI.
It would be better if telcos and their equipment vendors implemented some protections. Like the ability to disable roaming (and deny any related SS7 requests) at subscriber's request.
I definitely get some nice new music on my supermix.

I also get songs I've already thumbs downed reappearing repeatedly. It's bizarre how bad it is in some respects, while still being decent in others. (They're not even new top hits being aggressively promoted. It's mostly 80s rock they'll toss in no matter how many times I say I "no, I don't like this song".)
> That's a fair perspective, but that's not applicable here.

It's exactly applicable. If you violate say, finance reporting laws (KYC) then you've violated finance reporting laws. If you've added unauthorized code to an internal tool, well, you've added unauthorized code to an internal tool.

And had it been part of a security disclosure, well, that might be different (did they try other disclosure avenues?), but pushing a political viewpoint isn't. Imagine instead if the employee had added the message "Trump 2020" - how would you feel about that?

Yes, my last two employers have been similar. And given the requirements, both provide company phones.

I run into coworkers who then decide to use the company phone as their only phone, because the company phone is usually the top of the line iPhone or Samsung Galaxy replaced every 2 years when their personal phone otherwise is some mid range Android or 2+ year old iPhone.

Even when pointed out that the company can wipe it when they leave or even if they just suspect its been compromised, they don't seem to care. I just don't get it.
I think that they’re completely different things.

No need for VS Code with repl.it at all.
CentOS 6 EOL Enforcement
I don't know where they announced that move (and I do assume they did), but I was caught off-guard by this move today when trying to rebuild some docker images in a CI pipeline. I wonder how many users are affected like me. In any case, kudos for enforcing EOL like this! This definitely is the right way to get rid of unsupported software installations.
