Not always. Some of the software guys just zone out in meetings and don't pay attention while their managers and PMs do the talking. Can confirm, I wasn't paid nearly enough in that job to care about what my manager or PM said.

I'm the same - loved the first 4 seasons, but season 5 feels slow like they're really dragging things out. Also feel like some of the dialogue and acting are not very convincing. And it almost feels like a series of short stories, instead of one storyline.

Computational requirements are quite high, but OK if you have good GPUs on hand. A coronavirus sequenced sample on the fast mode without GPUs would take 3-4 hours to complete, while on the high accuracy mode days. GPU access would speed up performance considerably.

Error rate for MinIONs is still quite high (10-15%), so a human genome sequencing would be quite inaccurate in some regions.

Sequencer is quite cheap, reagents and flow cells are a little bit more expensive.
The authors have actually said that they look at the books as duologies, rather than trilogies (except for the last three). They're also planning to collect all the novellas / short stories into one volume at some point.
There is actually a lot that can be gleaned from the lack of observable evidence to the contrary.

We have a hard data point in ourselves. We know life is possible. The only question is how common is it. Right now the evidence says "Rare".

Now the task is to figure out why it's rare instead of common, and exactly how rare it really is.

This means gathering data, forming theories, making predictions, and comparing expectations to new data.

This seems like perfectly reasonable science to me.
I like the yearly rankings they do over at Reddit to try and find shows I've missed. (example: this years https://www.reddit.com/r/television/comments/kqnefi/results_...)

It's quite interesting if you look at The Expanse. Started barely top 100, then top 40, then top 20, and now this year people are ranking it #2 all time behind Breaking Bad. Seems like it took a bit for the word to get out about it, but people who take the time to watch it, seem to really enjoy it.

I have a simple custom solution that works well for me. Snippets are just files in a directory. The filename is the snippet name. If the file is executable, it uses whatever is returned from running it. You can use zenity [0] to create forms or run rofi/dmenu to select "arguments" in those scripts.

It uses `rofi` and `xdotool`:

#!/bin/bash
SNIPPET_DIR="${HOME}/.config/snipex"
DMENU="rofi -dmenu -b -p Snippet:"
XSEL="/usr/bin/xsel --clipboard --input"
SNIPPET=$(ls -1 "${SNIPPET_DIR}" | ${DMENU})
FILE="${SNIPPET_DIR}/${SNIPPET}"

STRIP_NEWLINE="head -c -1"

if [ -x "${FILE}" ]; then
# snippet is executable -> run it and copy the result
${FILE} | ${STRIP_NEWLINE} | ${XSEL}
elif [ -f "${FILE}" ]; then
# copy the contents of the file
${STRIP_NEWLINE} ${FILE} | ${XSEL}
else
# clean clipboard
echo "" | ${XSEL}
fi

xdotool key --clearmodifiers "Shift+Insert"

edit: and I have an xbindkeys config to run this script when I press Meta+,

“Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing.”
They also "fixed" the music in bar scenes. In the early series it was some dubstep / EDM vibe music which I think is highly improbably that in 320 years it will be any similar to what we listen to today. In the later series, ambient music got more weird.
“The intrinsic value of a company is the net present value of all future cash flows.

Technically the share price shouldn’t change then”

It’s the expected net present value (possibly decreased by some amount for the variance in that expectation)

That value can change depending on (semi-)random events such as tsunamis (Fukushima nuclear power plant), CEOs stepping down, presidents being elected, competitors entering the market with a better product, etc.

Also, humans are bad at determining that expected value. Even events that have only a minor effect on that value can have a large effect on the perceived value.

I don't read much fantasy but I do read a fair bit of science fiction and categories like cyberpunk, soft, hard, space opera, etc. while fuzzy are something I tend to find somewhat useful (as is the distinction between SF and fantasy). There are probably books in every category I like but I generally favor some categories over others.
Is this an accuracy or precision issue? I am imagining that if you actually have access to the device, you could do as many runs as you want, getting to arbitrarily low error rates.
I don't know--I think there are plenty of developers who would love to have more of a say in what they're building, rather than toiling away building someone else's pet feature that they (the developer) know is going to fail.

Where you thinking of sharing your code under an MIT license similar to Rails or something else?

The most upsetting part about this is that it is completely expected that a politician will strive to do what is in their best interest and the interest of their supporters. Please note it doesn't matter what party you support politicians are generally all the same in that they use their positions to seek power and wealth from their positions at the expense of their constituents.

Good points. When we tech people spend all day in terminals using software like git, it’s easy to forget that the average person doesn’t have the time nor desire to learn difficult software. They just want to get the job done and get on with their day. Ideology isn’t a factor at all.

I think the free software community would get much farther if the acknowledged the realities of school districts with limited IT staffing. If you have a team of 2-4 IT people to manage hundreds or thousands of kids, you don’t want any software solution that doesn’t come with some form of tech support or at least some readily available help documentation or tutorials.

The biggest thing FSF could do is make a push for making the software as easy to use, troubleshoot, and understand as possible. Once it becomes less work (not necessarily less cost) to use free software, the change will follow organically.

Trying to petition schools to use free software on ideological grounds is a step in the wrong direction. Tie your movement to real-world incentives, not abstract ideology.
I concur, excellent show and much "harder" then The Expanse. Some people have an aversion to anime but it transcends that in my opinion.

I'm not the OP but I used to track & observe satellites, my guess is mostly no.

A satellite needs appropriate angle from sun to it's solar panels[0] to create any light pollution (or satellite flare, depending on what side you're looking from). Since OP's satellites won't be first in their class (We've got Maxar, Planet etc.) I don't think they will have any considerable impact on general light pollution. Actually, there's a lot of satellites "orbiting" at anytime but very little of them generate flares.

Problem with Starlink it's number of satellites are quite high (42k planned) and they got "persistent brightness".

Gamestop locations are tiny. They'd need to quadruple all of their store sqft at minimum to do any type of LAN party setup. In addition to all the money required to wire that up and the PC hardware required.
Regulatory capture is a gigantic problem, especially in finance.

It’s obvious that we don’t have the right incentive structure with the SEC, either. If you can make 20x more using the skills you’d need to investigate companies trading instead, the talent pool is reduced to those motivated by power/ideology. I’ve always thought financial regulators should have some kind of incentive structure that closes this gap but it’s not clear how to do that without skewing the enforcement priorities.

Please do not use the SHA family of hashes to store passwords. They are designed to be fast. This makes brute forcing them relatively easy. There are hashes designed for passwords that are not fast.
In typical username+password systems, the passwords are not unique, and thus the password hash would be an inappropriate lookup key.

That sounds like the LAN Cafes (AKA "PC Bangs" in Korean) of old. They were at their peak pre-broadband, but as far as I can tell, have long since fallen out of favor.

This focuses on the proprietary software aspect (unsurprisingly as it's the FSF), but more concerning to me is the fact that this makes students beholden to account deletion or censorship by these companies. Write an anti-Google essay, and you might lose access to everything!

In the 90s in the UK, school kids like me used Acorn Archimedes and related systems in school. Then on leaving school we went into workplaces or universities where Windows based PCs were dominant.

One of the coolest bits of manufacturing tech I've seen is laser-printed circuit traces on plastic. There are a couple different ways to do it, but in any case you can print gold traces onto 3D objects, even concave ones. It gets used to print antennas onto plastic for phones and whatnot.

It's really about picking the tool based on the license and whether you, the user, wants to be in control of the software in your life, or if you're ok being complacent while "your" technology controls you.

Rationalizations about "getting the job done" or "ease of use" are the same as saying macOS has a better UI than a given GNU/Linux distro, and that's why it's OK Apple sends third party app usage data without you knowing. The struggle for agency and control in today's world isn't a light one, and it involves sacrifices.

I would also posit that "learning" makes more sense within a free software environment than in a closed, proprietary one.
Prior to the Z-286 line Zenith made a line of PC compatibles with an 8 slot 8-bit ISA backplane design, the Z-150 desktop and Z-160 transportable. The backplane board lacks the RTC and keyboard connection of the Z-286 backplane board and is therefore completely free of active components.

So close. The only acceptable solution to them is less consumption. They don't really think through the consequences.

For example, they have cancelled the Keystone XL pipeline, but simply do not think about the additional fossil fuel that will be burned transporting that oil via train instead. They dream of less consumption and ignore the actual real world consequences.

For what it's worth, I'm a former full stack developer who transitioned into the product role. This means I have the technical skillset to translate for my dev teams. This is a blessing and a curse while wearing both hats.

> [...] five years from now when digital distribution is the only way video games are sold?

Tangent - is that direction really guaranteed for console games? Digital sales have been around for a long time and I realize the console world is really pushing it now but I'm curious if console gamers are buying in to it as fast as other markets (e.g. computer gamers and general entertainment markets (movies))? Maybe the pandemic is speeding it up[0]?

I've bought exclusively digital for computer gaming for over a decade (maybe two decades, yeesh) now but continue to cling to physical for console gaming because of the trade-in factor. E.g. most recently when the Switch came out I waited a few months for one to come in to a local used games store and traded a Wii U + games for the Switch + Link's Awakening all on trade-in value. I have done pretty much that or something similar for console upgrades for as long as I can remember. I don't even have a sense of what a new console costs at this point.

I have always assumed that is sort of the norm but I suppose that wouldn't make any sense for the broader market, hah.

Also, I like these tweets by Jima Chanos (@Diogenes), well-known short-seller:

> Can anyone explain to me what a “short ladder attack” is? I have seriously never heard the term before this week.

> Now I know why I had never heard of a “short ladder attack”...Because it is complete gibberish.
