Same here. "tank man" image search in Bing returns absolutely no result. However "tank man tiananmen square" returns images but half of them with no image of a tank.
the fact that you can make your own functions and aliases makes me really doubt that people really understand the point of a shell. sure treating everything like a string may seem really dumb. but its easy peasy. because, well everything is a string. once you accept that its not that hard. anytime i can predict i need to repeat a task i can just create a function like work_helpers__reset_dans_password_again, and then you have it there in your tab complete. or why not just run:
work_helpers__reset_password dan

i think its because people dont want to rtfm. if they would rtfm, they would learn most problems have a solution that is not insane like the one they are about to start developing. you know how often i see this:

cat somefile |grep thething
instead of just:
grep thething somefile

MeltanoHub for Singer launches with over 200 Taps and Targets
Huge step forward in the Singer world. Singer has the highest number of integrations in the open source integration space (I believe). I'm currently using Singer to accomplish some integrations I've needed to do, it works great. I'd love to see more people join!

Gitlab is the company behind Meltano, and they have a team working full time on it!
This sounds cool, but I'm annoyed that the video is mostly shots of the creator of this setup talking about it, with relatively few shots of the printing process in action, or the end result, or comparisons between the end result and a conventional setup.

The non-planar structure, and the tilt of the head being normal to the surface is meant to produce a stronger result, so let's see how much stronger it is! The first layers are planar but layers in the center are able to vary more in height, so show more footage of it during one of those later layers.

This felt more or less like watching someone speak out loud the abstract for the paper he's writing about it.

That's one reason why I left Seattle. I was commuting 4 days/week, with a 1hr 15min commute in both directions, so I was spending 21.66 days a year in the car. Why so long? Affordable housing, of course.

I took a small pay cut, moved the east coast and now spend 24 minutes a day commuting, which is infinitely better.
If anything, it's the low-paid actors that would go instead.

Highly-paid actors are celebrities. They are engaging in a way that is incredibly hard to describe but nonetheless seems to be widely recognized. They aren't necessarily "good actors" (a term that is itself hard to define), but people enjoy looking at them. People go to a film just because some well-known actor is in it, and that's what makes them so valuable.

Every film set is chock full of talented people. Plenty of people could have done great work as, say, Tony Stark. Hollywood is full of beautiful and talented women who just never manage to get that "it factor". To displace highly-paid actors they'll have to replicate that, and that'll open up a whole new set of questions.

The ones who go first will be the low-paid actors who surround them. They are the ones doing sitcom pilots that get shelved, or commercials for dog food and allergy medicine, or being saved from having a bus dropped on them. Such actors are actually reasonably well paid on the days the work (over $1,000 a day for big-budget films or TV; $9,064 for a week as a guest star), though most of them work only a tiny fraction of the time. There are more people making a living at that than being a star, though the odds still suck.

I would not enjoy remote learning for the same reason that I don't enjoy remote working. It's not conducive to a good learning environment. Because most learning is not about the stuff on the whiteboard, but what you learn through casual conversation.

Later in my career I suspect I'll feel differently.

But SARS has leaked from these labs before. Obviously we already knew about SARS-CoV-1 when it leaked, but this could be one of those situations where the virus leaked from the lab as its first exposure to humans.
> Someone making > $100k would definitely benefit from this being raised and I think it's one of the few areas in the US that the left and right generally agree. I would love to see this raised to $5k or higher.

That money has to come from somewhere. Given that a $100k salary is above the median, I would be unsurprised if you end up paying somewhere close to $5k in taxes to get your $5k benefit. It goes down a little bit because not everyone has kids and they subsidize you, and then up a little bit so you can subsidize people who don't earn enough to have contributed $5k.

That's the problem with trying to subsidize things for the higher end of the earning spectrum. Those subsidies have to come from somewhere; either the even higher earning side of the spectrum, or the poorer side of the spectrum. We might recoup those costs in time through a more productive economy, but someone has to pay today for the benefits later.
Sadly, that is true, but it might go some way to prevent another tragedy of "justice" being inflicted on someone else who might otherwise die from such persecution.
According to Wikipedia the lab had been established many decades ago, "The WIV was founded in 1956 as the Wuhan Microbiology Laboratory" and got its current name in 1978. For better or worse, open, public labs tend to be set up in urban areas, see the insane move of the work done at the Plum Island Animal Disease Center to college town Manhattan, Kansas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan,_Kansas in the heartland of American agriculture.

Pretty sure tons of eyelids were batted very heavily at FB when that happened. They got fined, there was lots of news articles that you can still find now.

I don't know why you're trying to create a false narrative here. Collecting biometric data for a social media website is concerning regardless of which specific company it is. I'm not sure why you're trying to bring racism into this topic, when it's not involved.

What's even stranger, is that your position is that no one complained about Facebook. If anything, that's a globally shared activity.
Great story. One of my open source bioinformatics tools was ripped off, with name AND GPL license stripped off, by a person working at the EMBL/EBI (European Molecular Biology Laboratory European Bioinformatics Institute; a prestigious scientific institution)

Management, when alerted, made it right, but I think the point of my story is that this is perhaps more common than anyone realizes.

That seems to me to be one of the hardest parts of APL getting adoption, besides it being extremely laborious to read. You can't Google anything.
It also has no data import functionality so if your project is over 50 tasks (basically anything remotely business scale) you’re gonna be sat doing data entry for a while.

2.5 hours to a major airport and 1 hour to a medium-sized airport really isn't that bad. If you live in a large metro, it probably takes 40 minutes to get to the airport because of traffic or slow transit.
Wouldn't that be an issue with a $500 photoshop license too? You'd only get to use it a handful of times before the software stops being compatible with your OS (probably).

Subscription seems better because you can just subscribe multiple times for shorter periods.
I found this News Week article also very interesting and it goes into more detail about the DRASTIC internet group and how they made some of their discoveries:
https://www.newsweek.com/exclusive-how-amateur-sleuths-broke...

IMO the most upsetting part about this is people like Shi Zhengli and Peter Daszak being repeatedly caught in outright lies and coverup behavior. These people seemed to have the best of intentions at some point in their career but they are doing irreparable damage to their field and science in general with the public lies and coverups.

One example is Shi Zhengli publicly stating the the 6 miners that died after shoveling bat guano in a mine in Mojiang died from a fungal infection while the DRASTIC group was able to dig up two papers that specifically stated the miners died from a SARS-like virus. They also dug up evidence that Zhengli's lab visited the mine multiple times since 2012 to take samples after the miners died and retrieved as many as 9 unique Coronaviruses similar to SARS-Cov-2 from the mine.

My point is that the current system isn't even that great at teaching academic CS. Even learning a version of CS which doesn't pretend to be SE well requires developing practical skills which many students don't have the opportunity to acquire until after they graduate. This isn't a flaw that's specific to CS, it's true of many disciplines. In fact, in some ways CS is less guilty of it than others.

Based on comparing them with studio monitors. They sound more like good headphones or not like speakers at all. They can play string bass. The drums sound unamplified on good enough recordings. There is no doubt that their distortion is extraordinarily low, and it's not the distortion of the amplifier but the speakers. I don't know how you expect me to prove it to you.

Why is it difficult to keep the political leanings, opinions, activism away from the workplace and act like professionals? If you disagree with something your colleagues or the company you work for, just quit and find another job.

In my humble opinion, there is a place for expressing/speaking up about the things you care about, but workplace is not one of it. You have no locus standi.
In the UK, the A level I took was called "Computing". My university called it that as well and treated it as an MEng rather than an MSc, but most UK universities still call it Computer Science I think.
That's incredibly unfortunate. Is this also true for local K-12 students? In high school I lived near universities and recall my parents [0] taking me to the library to do research/reading on various topics. Including checking out books. I never did that as an adult without any kind of school affiliation, though. Mostly because until recently I didn't live near a university (or near enough for it to make sense to drive to).

[0] I didn't have a driver's license, too young at the first high school, and insurance was too much for my parents or me to afford at the second.

It's relevant because when I go to use git on android and iOS I go hunting through the play store and download some closed source wrapper around it, often with libraries that the developer pulled in that they don't fully understand the behavior of.

By dramatically raising the cost of software maintenance (by decreasing interoperability and because of the heavy API churn) these systems make community maintained software rare which forces users to turn to organizations that are unwilling (and sometimes unable) to share information with their users.

The resulting security situation is dire.

I think that's fair but it also depends on the product. Something like Stripe, per transaction is a very obvious variable metric--and, even better more transactions is almost certainly a good thing for a merchant. A metric based on MB transmitted or API calls would be pretty silly.

AWS is inherently much harder to tie to non-technical measures. Yes the customers are more technical but that doesn't mean AWS formulas are necessarily predictable for them.

Well they start with "arguments" for why shell programming is deficient, and these arguments seem vague and not well expressed or incorrect. Most people just lose interest in further reading. And when you do read further, it's a lot of research field building with buzzwords that nobody who uses shell cares about.

>the population would understand

I don't like these "strategic" lies either. And I agree the population in general would understand, but I think there'd still have been plenty of people that would've hoarded every mask possible, and at the time they had to make decisions based on possible scenarios, whereas now we have hindsight. Especially if things were handled differently in the beginning and the mask vs non-mask polarization manifested differently, who knows.

Lumber is a resource that takes an incredibly long time to deal with supply chain disruptions, but for which large scale supply disruptions are difficult.

First you need to plant trees years in advance before you harvest them, then green lumber needs to age for an extended period of time before it can be used. If you for some reason have to stop felling trees for a few months, a few months later you're going to have a shortage; and while you can cut down those trees later, if people start panic buying there are only so many trees ready to be felled. Luckily forests are spread out over many areas and logging does not depend on any suppliers that represent a single point of failure, so the odds of every logging operation getting disrupted at the same time is astronomically low - unless there's a global pandemic or something.

Serverless :)
Yeah, I think it's just a fault in the analogy and in part demonstrating why reason from analogy is faulty.

My point is this If vendors were liable (at least in part) for security faults in their products, then they would be more diligent about closing those gaps.
The people who operate and use the system have to be secured also. From phishing, from blackmail, insider threats, infiltrators, spies. With all the data breaches these days, more and more blackmail material will be available. People would be hesitant to take a job that involved having full time bodyguards or continuous security monitoring of their entire personal life, vetting of their extended family and friends, limits on social life. The salaries for such critical people would likely be very high (plus the added cost of the bodyguards/watchers). And who watches the watchers? People with top secret, compartmentalized access are monitored somewhat less than that and still get compromised.

Possibly complete security is impossible, in which case decentralizing, redundancy, failsafes, and layers of protection with constant incremental improvements (not new features) when flaws are found may be the only reasonable approach. Expect systems to fail and make sure failure does little harm. Regardless it is going to cost more, one way or another.
> There have been two serious epidemics of coronavirus disease in recent history: SARS and MERS. There is overwhelming evidence that both have a natural origin.

This supports the idea that a jump from animals is a possible explanation. It does nothing to indicate that a lab leak is a unlikely explanation (especially with a sample size of two.)

However, the fact that this arose in one of 3 cities on the planet where this research is conducted does provide significant evidence that lab leak is a likely explanation.

Given the lack of evidence, it seems irresponsible to make strong assertions that one theory is more likely than the other.

Not really. Too many companies have been badly burned by IT outsourcing clusterfucks, additionally as soon as customer data is handled stuff like GDPR and whatever the US plans to follow suit (and they will have to, in order for a successor to the Privacy Shield deal to pass the EU court system) come into play which makes outsourcing "drones" ... not really worth the time.

Although some money was spent bidding up meme stocks, the money doesn’t disappear. What did the sellers do with their gains?

Inflated asset prices mean that some people think they’re richer than they are and they might soon find out otherwise (consider the drop in cryptocurrency). In the meantime, it’s hard to see how easy money for all sorts of investments discourages spending on things that will actually fix supply bottlenecks, eventually.

There is lots of silly stuff going on at the same time, granted, and sometimes it’s a bit harder to tell the difference.
