The purpose of a shell script it's to do things in the shell that are best suited to the shell. Trying to use Python for that is fine, everyone prefers something different, but I already use the terminal for things like changing directories, 'ls', and etc, so it's easier for me to just write a shell script versus trying to figure out how to do it in Python, even if I use Python for work. The same question could be said of any other language you use daily: why not use Go or Java for the same things? The answer is that people do use those tools! It's basically individual preference, imo.
Everything here assumes the existence of some sort of method to associate a random string with an identity and enough data about that identity to find a server to talk to, without having an initial server to talk to...

This alleged historical article calls Alexander the Great Greek. He is Macedonian. Macedonians are a completely different people with a different language and different alphabet. Would you take an alleged historical article on Stalin if the article mentioned Stalin to be German or that Cleopatra was Spanish.

Macedons invaded and took over the Greek kingdoms:

I'm sure it would have to help; but i would not make any bets in the close presence of lightning and long wires. weird shit happens.

My experience says that a free length of wire grounded at a midpoint (like when you disconnect the far end) will still be a potential resonator for enough volts to cross a respectable gap; so unplug it and insulate the unplugged end. Been there, seen the sparks.

I maintained various configurations of wire and fiber across a 1/4 mile run through heavy woods on a ridge that gets direct lightning strikes a dozen times a year. nothing involving a conductor that length is simple in that circumstance: see the things the power companies have to do.
There are a few solutions that try to abstract away the innerworkings of k8s, like Garden and Tilt. They enable you to use a Compose-like syntax for deployment, which covers the 80% use case of "I just wanna deploy an app, bro"

The issue is that escaping the complexity of Kubernetes is challenging because of that 20%. You want to use Vault for pulling secrets in dynamically and customize how your service mesh routes traffic to your app? Unless you're using something like OpenShift that gives you one way to do it, you're gonna mess with some YAML.
I ordered a Pinephone Pro dev edition, and my shipping notice has yet to arrive. I am wondering if they are waiting until Monday to ship it? Or if the shipping is still winding through DHL and I will get a shipping notice "soon".
Agreed, and given circumstances, it doesn't take more than a few successful pairings to propagate a new hybrid species if the environment is favorable to their survival.

I don't know how much we can extrapolate from modern humans to present-day, but modern psychology research suggests that what people find attractive or repulsive is extremely early-experience-dependent. I suspect a homo sapiens society living near a Neanderthal society may not grow to find them as repulsive as, say, a homo sapiens society that has rare contact with Neanderthal. And if a child was raised by Neanderthal / homo sapien parents, or adopted from one tribe to the other, I have no particular reason to assume they'd find either species repulsive.
I had the question of, how do the plants get C02 once they use it all up? Answer: they don't, or the terrarium is not sealed.

> A closed terrarium is a closed ecosystem just on a much smaller scale [than earth]. The
supply of carbon dioxide in the terrarium air is very small because of the
limited volume of air. Therefore, unless the terrarium contains animals
to provide carbon dioxide or microbes break down large amounts of organic
matter in the soil and release carbon dioxide, the plants in a sealed
terrarium cannot gain significant dry weight. They would basically refix
the same carbon dioxide over and over. The carbon dioxide the plants
release during cellular respiration would be refixed via photosynthesis,
then respired, refixed, respired, refixed, etc.

> Most terrariums are not completely sealed so carbon dioxide can enter and
plants can gain dry matter via photosynthesis. The inventor of the
terrarium, Nathaniel Bagshaw Ward (1791-1868), supposedly had a "sealed
terrarium" that survived four years but it is questionable if it was
completely sealed because of the substantial plant growth he observed.

Even more nefarious - when I lost access to my account on Friday, I lost the ability to update apps that I have purchased.

One app that I use frequently won’t load unless it is updated (it gives you a dialog that you can’t dismiss when you start it). So now I’ve lost access to another service and my data in that service by proxy.

Many ancient societies had a very different conception of 'good guys' than the modern one. It was very easy to justify very aggressive war with some of these alternative conceptions.

'Good guys are the ones who worship the right god(s) and therefore we get to kill the bad people next door', or 'Good guys are guys who serve the King/Emperor and anything that advances his glory is good', 'Good guys are cultured people and everyone else is a barbarian' etc.

This definitely happens to me. My clothes dryer is "smart" which means it refuses to just run for a fixed time and has some sort of smart detection of when to stop. It doesn't work well. Instead I have to run it several times before the clothes are actually dry. There's also no easy way to set it to a fixed time long enough. You have to mess around with the dial, long press another button, hit another button over 12 times - then that works for one load and it goes back to default "smart" settings.
Hopefully. Those with prior immunity to other coronaviruses actually did worse. The superantigen in SARS-Cov-2 activates the T cells for those viruses. They don’t protect and instead attack the body.
It’s neat that Robert Chambers predicted this well over a century ago in The King in Yellow.

I'll see your preliminary study and raise you mine. As little as 3 months and up to 5 years. The consequences of long COVID alone are enough for me to avoid catching it (along with the six-figure medical bills this has been generating) but apparently that's unamerican to some people. Unless we magically vaccinate the world and convince people to wear masks in closed spaces we're stuck on this demonic hamster wheel indefinitely.

What you're suggesting here is go catch a very serious case of covid and nearly die so that one has that multi-year long-term immunity. Not planning to take such advice but I welcome you to do so (for science of course, you can get a Nobel prize for doing that if you live after all). Too bad if a new variant like omicron comes along and skips past those antibodies though but those are the breaks.

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanmic/article/PIIS2666-5...

In fact, let's take this stupidity all the way home. Let's all go back to the craptastically ventilated open offices for 8-12 hours 5 days a week. And since there's no vaccine mandate, your eventual chance of exposure to COVID is 100%. There have been ~180K breakthrough infections that led to ~11K hospitalizations or about a 6.4% chance of ending up in the hospital so far.

https://coronavirus.health.ny.gov/covid-19-breakthrough-data

If you end up in the hospital, that's anywhere from $100K-$500K of medical bills.

https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/finance/average-charge...

All of that is pre-omicron which seems evolved to evade vaccines. You may to wish to take that risk, that's your business.
Ok, so, diversity of gender and race is just good, period? Do you mean that people should be represented by race and gender in accordance with their population makeup? i.e. 13% of doctors should be black, and 50% of nurses should be male? At what cost, and what makes you think that would be a good thing?

For one, Indian immigrants in the US disproportionately enter medicine, as do other Asians, in total constituting 17% of doctors. This is despite Asians constituting 6% of the population. 5% of doctors are black, despite constituting 13% of the population. In accordance with most advocating diversity for the sake of diversity, the reason for the disparity is assumed post hoc to have been due to discrimination...but why? It's as if the inputs have absolutely no bearing whatsoever on the outcomes. In order to seek population parity, that would mean arbitrarily capping the number of Asian doctors, and arbitrarily pulling black doctors from a pool of applicants that literally doesn't exist.

Rather than a deontological approach, of perhaps simply ensuring that the hiring process is as blind and devoid of bias as possible, diversity advocates are instead interested in diversity for the sake of diversity.

Again, this is political beyond just "being a good person" or not.

I don’t buy the position that government bans automatically cause the market price to crash. See marijuana, alcohol, cocaine, heroine, etc. None of those saw market demand, nor price crash.

Also, unlike drugs and alcohol, Bitcoin is a digital good with no physical footprint, making enforcement much more difficult. With an open-source protocol running on some 12k nodes as well as thousands of miners, most running on Tor - it seems unlikely that a gov could take the network down or even prevent their citizens from participating in the network.

At best, governments could block fiat on/off ramps, pushing bitcoin trading to decentralized exchanges or p2p transactions for trading to/from fiat. There would also be black markets for Bitcoin just as there are black markets for many other things banned by governments.

Ultimately governments banning fiat on/off ramps for Bitcoin could help achieve a goal shared by Bitcoiners of a native Bitcoin currency-based economy. Governments banning bitcoin may even be good for Bitcoin adoption, though it would negatively impact price in the short term.

I see you haven't had to care for someone with Alzheimer's before.

Its not a terrible idea, as a society we retain some naïve and arguably zealous notions around death which often makes us push towards natural outcomes. Some natural outcomes are different from others in that they're significantly worse for all parties involved. Those outcomes are a subject that should be given more attention and seriousness as opposed to mere emotional rejection.

See https://nanos.org/faq where there is a comparison table but it's not complete or out of date, because OSv website says:

"OSv supports many managed language runtimes including unmodified JVM, Python 2 and 3, Node.JS, Ruby, Erlang as well as languages compiling directly to native machine code like Golang and Rust"

This seems like a big deal on the Nanos side:

"Another big difference is that Nanos keeps the kernel/user boundary. In our testing removing the large process to process context switching that general purpose operating systems still removes quite a lot of the perceived cost in other systems. We keep the internal kernel <> user switch for security purposes. Without it page protections are basically useless as an attacker can adjust the permissions themselves with privileged instructions."

This would seem to me that they are slower than OSv.
High quality exit bag lol. Actually, I'm surprised no one sells readymade suicide kits.

> Some birds, whales, elephants are near the top.

They're different from humans, but much closer than we expect: mammals (apart from the birds, sure), with similar skeletal structure, similar overall "how it works" biology (brains, skeleton, digestive system, circulatory system, etc)

The closest "intelligent alien" we know of is the octopus. That's really something else. But even then a lot of biology is shared.

If you want to get creative don't think of humans mating neanderthals, think animals re-evolving from an earthworm or a jellyfish.

Under UK law your employer arguably has a claim to your IP if any of the following are true:

1) They asked you to work on this as part of your employment

2) You worked on this during your employed hours

3) You worked on this on employer provided equipment

If you can prove that this is an undertaking of your own (especially if it pre-dates employment) and you avoid doing any work (not even replying to Git issues) during work hours, and only ever on your own hardware... then your employer has no grounds for claim at all.
There are far too many edge cases (e.g. ring species), but it's also not practical. How are you going to decide whether two individuals can't reproduce together, or choose not to? What if all you have are some dead specimens?

Did any of you ever request an example contract that would be signed before starting to go through a marathon of interviews or even negotiating an offer?

Finding a non-negotiable blanket clause like this in a contract would most probably stop me from taking the interviews or at least establish completely different salary expectations. I would understand if the work would be done on company's equipment or during some allocated time but a blanket one like this? If you're not paying me for 168 hours per week and there is no clear conflict of interest, bug off from my side projects I do in my own time.
No, that's not the point at all. The point is that explicitly race based policy started a self perpetuating poverty trap, and explicitly anti-racist policy is required to collectively get black people out of it. Because it's self perptuating.

I'd love to know how you think racial equality will be achieved in the US though. Be warned, I am expecting the "personal responsibility" argument and am more than ready to debunk it.

If you don't mind a little bit of high level programming, I would recommend SuperCollider in NRT mode + the VSTPlugin extension or Pure Data in batch mode + the [vstplugin~] external. In both cases you'd generate the OSC command file resp. write the Pd patch once and then invoke it from the command line with any soundfile you want.
Reputation is, however, not weighted by data tied to the individual receiver's mailbox. Reputation is often tied to the sending domain. Reputation, as helpful as it is, doesn't tap into the data that currently remains largely untapped.

ENS can be useful outside of Ethereum. I can sign a message and you can look up who it's from via ENS. I can also use it as the domain name for a site hosted on IPFS.

Isn’t the definition/line drawn for the delineation of a species (compared to a sub-species/variety/variant) if offspring will be produced that can also reproduce.

Horse vs Donkey == mule (which can’t reproduce) being one of the few examples where anything is produced, and why they are considered different species.

One challenge here of course is while we have examples of Neanderthal/human hybrids, we don’t have enough of them to say it’s anything but a crazy fluke. But that could just be due to not having enough data points, not due to it being hard.

If it wasn’t a crazy fluke, then yes they shouldn’t be a separate species.
