This is also my pattern. To further assist with this, I wrote a short(ish) rebase script intended to be run when you want to squash your series of commits, also bringing your local branch up-to-date with the upstream. It relies on your initial commit in your feature branch having a commit message which corresponds to the branch name, but that's it. This does a great job of minimising unnecessary merge conflicts, even after working offline for an extended period.

The annoying thing about B5 is, according to JMS (the showrunner) it was shot with an intention to be compatible with widescreen framing, and the digital effects people were supposed to be making effects similarly compatible, but they didn't. So it left things in a really awkward state for people making a DVD release in the peak "BUT MAH PIXULS" era.

It wouldn't be so bad if it was just the entirely (or mostly) CG scenes that weren't composited to widescreen, but it was also stuff like when they shot one of their plasma weapons. The DVD releases wound up switching to really nasty upscales of broadcast footage cropped to 16x9 for just those shots. Was particularly bad in the first season.
I don't need to watch the video to know that two of these options were entries in CONFIG.SYS, one of them "SWITCHAR" as I recall. It would cause DOS to use forward slash instead of backslash for separating components of a pathname, and it would use hyphens instead of forward slashes for command line options, both just like Unix.

Because you have no idea about films.

I was initially sceptical, as eg the IMBD is heavily gamed towards populistic obscure cult films.
But all the films in this list are indeed classics. I can really trust my profession, film critics.

These films are not the best of the best, but the classics. Which you can recommend to your grandma.

Email: luke@lukebarton.co.uk

Hi, I'd preferably like a role where I can get involved in everything and contribute ideas in all areas, be it product or engineering. I've been a Principal Software Engineer at a insanely-paced startup that IPO'd last year. The sheer intensity beat me up a little and now I'm looking for something new, where things are going to be little less chaotic (shouldn't be hard).

I've been writing software professionally for 15 years. Languages/tools/things I don't know aren't a problem for me to pick up. I'm really comfortable designing systems involving tech and people. Nowadays I'm less interested in bashing out code for codes sake and more interested in crafting systems that seek the goals we want, and helping teams write only the software that's necessary.

Happy to hear from anyone who's got something I might be interested in :) Thanks

Sometimes I wonder how many amazing movies, series and videogames we would have if everyone could use popular franchises for their creations (think MCU, Star Wars, LOTR, but also more niche franchises).

Instead we only get the safe and family friendly cookie-cutter versions tuned for mass consumption. Big media corporations want to play it safe to ensure profitability, but other creators would be free to experiment in all other sort of narrative and stylistic directions.
Perhaps you will find it interesting: in Russian, the abbreviated word “dural” is often used for duralumin.
> The study gives you the actual numbers on how likely it's a coincidence or not.

The study doesn't really do that. What it does is compare different methodologies for counting the number of incidences of (myo|peri)-carditis following the 2nd shot. They conclude that the methodology used officially gives lower numbers than other methodologies.

Counting how likely a coincidence it is is something we can do reasonably well using standard null hypothesis testing: compare the number of incidences of pericarditis in a random sample against a sample of patients post-vaccine. But this is not something that the article does. The difficulty, discussed in the article, lies in deciding what counts as "post-vaccine".

> I’ve bought a new Thinkpad almost every year since 2006. I think that’s over.

I had to stop here.
Thinkpads, especially older models, were easy to repair and even possible to upgrade. Why, then, bying a new one every year?

Clearly, lack of serviceability is a lesser concern than consumerism.
It's also the sort of thing where if you're the first one using it, the costs of it are not nearly as large as when the whole economy is using it. Your buffer is, in effect, being stored at other people's factories. This is logically predictable, but was not in fact widely appreciated before the current problems, perhaps because this is the first shock to come after JIT was almost universally used.
I'm only one guy, but having raised and butchered several of both, I vastly prefer grain-finished steers. The trend toward lean grass-fed beef mystifies me. The fat and marbling with grain-finished animals is much higher, particularly if modestly confined, and that has at least historically earned a better grade. It's certainly easier to cook and preferred in my household.
Your and others' comments criticizing the article have been heavily upvoted, so this is clearly not the case.
The big rule on this is that you should not out-and-out lie about your condition, but that doesn't mean you need to explain things. Like I've taken days off and explained to my boss that I have a personal medical condition that needs taking care of. This is usually fine for an occasional absence or down day.

For complex situations where your boss may want to know what's going on so that he can plan critical activities, there's not a simple answer.

You're free to enter any input sentence you want in the text box.

The input sentence generally should be in the language you selected from the dropdown. For example, if the dropdown has "French" selected you could enter the text "Allons enfants de la Patrie, Le jour de gloire est arrivé!"

Clicking "Submit" then generates a TTS reading of the sentence you input in the language selected from the dropdown.

For fun you can mix and match. In other words, select a language from the drop down and enter text in the text box not in the language selected from the dropdown. (For example, the dropdown could have "French" selected and the sentence could be "O say can you see, by the dawn's early light". This gives interesting results, it sounds as if a native French speaker is speaking English.)

This is probably a benefit of being in a major metro, working remotely, and general market conditions but I've never found it difficult to find another job. The past 10 years (essentially my working career) has been a great time to work and I've always hustled my way into making money or moving up somehow.

I'm pretty realistic about starting a company in the future. I'm not looking to invest and burn millions. I'd like to bootstrap with the benefit of having a very large backstop to my personal finances.

> Maybe you could retire. But I don't get the impression you're the type of person to retire - you're already retired if your jobs take "5-10 hours a week".

I think it's cool that you recognize that. Not a lot of people understand that I'm basically financially retired. I think that's the point for me. I don't actually think I'm financially retired yet, but soon. Once I'm done "needing" to make money I'll stop "working" altogether and keep on enjoying my life with my family. By no longer "working" I mean maybe working a single engineering job or getting a real job like a teacher or police officer. Something like that.

> So I have to ask what's the point of taking on the massive risk to your reputation? Is this something you're proud of? You're clearly already well off.

Not proud or ashamed. It's a neutral feeling of doing my work and getting paid for it. I come from a middle class background that was devastated by the financial crisis so I know from experience that "well off" is subjective and not fixed. Sure I'm worth a few million, but that could go away easily. I'll take my time off once I have 3-4 times what a normal person would consider "well off".
I derogatorily call this website "the orange website." That doesn't make it an echo chamber. For as many awful opinions on political topics or type systems there are on this site, there are people who object to them and comment that they do. Hacker News has a tendency to let people say offensive things; this doesn't make it an echo chamber. It doesn't make it good (about 1/5 of the threads are good), but it doesn't make it an echo chamber. Even things that should be pretty much just echoes, like threads about people who killed themselves, often aren't. Because even when someone has killed themselves on this website, people will always come out of the woodwork to say that it was their fault, in contrast to popular opinion. It's not an echo chamber, it's an amplifier.
I'm wondering how everyone else felt browsing this website, and using links in particular?

For me, on mobile, they open (I assume) inside an iframe or such, which is counter to how standard links work. This made it really frustrating for me to use. The content seems interesting overall, but I gave up due to how links work. Ridiculous, I know.
"Culture wars are nonsense and distraction - wait, let me add an aside about the group I hate" is maybe not as strong a point as you think it is.

But land is basically a commodity in SL and prices are basically similar everywhere.

No, it doesn't work that way. The world is not just a flat grid. It has terrain features. Land near nice waterfronts is expensive. Land far from water, roads, or railroads is very cheap. Prices vary by about 15:1, with some very nice areas up to 100:1.

I doubt there is a lot of speculation going on.

There is. This is much discussed on the Second Life forums.
I think a lot of what is happening inside the CBC reflects what is happening in Canada's public service generally. The whole institution has gone from traditional "Liberal" left to a bad caricature of the US left (especially because in Canada we don't have many of the same issues).
Increased regulation that becomes burdensome to meet creates what business schools call a 'moat' around a business.

So the post you're referring to is educated, not delusional.
The commenter must have believed -- and I tend to agree with them -- that it improved the quality of their comment. I'm sympathetic to the notion that one shouldn't needlessly spoil twists of movies, books etc when they're relatively fresh but at a certain point if we can't discuss what is interesting and fresh about a piece of culture we'll fail to make new touchstones for the culture.
> this is simply not true

No. I work for a FAANG company at the moment and Microsoft was my previous employer and i can confirm that Microsoft significantly underpays when compared with FAANG.
I was actually surprised for C how expensive that is, I'd expected maybe a dozen or so syscalls to set up the environment the provided runtime wants, but that's a lot of syscalls for not very much value. Both C++ and Rust are more expensive but they're setting up lots of stuff I might use in real programs, even if it's wasted for printing "hello" - but what on Earth can C need all those calls for when the C runtime environment is so impoverished anyway?

Go was surprising to me in the opposite direction, they're setting up a pretty nice hosted environment, and they're not using many instructions or system calls to do that compared to languages that would say they're much more focused on performance. I'd have expected to find it closer to Perl or something, and it's really much lighter.
As far as I understood, according to soared's comment, a lot of advertising campaigns will _start again_ in 2041.
Those threads earn so few points they're barely worth mentioning. I'm talking about point-earning. Technical threads earn lots of points, and are in the scope of this discussion because of it.

I will point out, though, that throwing code over the wall doesn't necessarily point toward one forum being more technical than another. A discussion on type systems or hygienic macros has far more technical depth than someone responding to a post with a code example of how to do something in React.

I think there’s a reasonably amount of science fiction that predicted that ideas might go viral and spread, but what is lacking is the idea of things like Wikipedia where there is an overall level of trust, but that certain subject areas will be much less reliable. The closest I can think of is Delany’s Stars In My Pocket Like Grains Of Sand where some subject areas of General Information (a system run by the Web) are notoriously out of date, but were probably accurate when written. I have often wondered if Tim Berbers-Lee read that book.
I think I'd prefer a world where there were fewer remakes and adaptations of existing franchises, and people focused on coming up with new things instead. I'm not suggesting that copyright should be extended for that purpose.

Other tips for making writing more fun, from someone who does it for a living (plus some other stuff #devrellife):

* make it a story. If you are writing about an application framework, use an example application and make it something real (a todo app, a real estate search app, something you have personal experience with).
* link to your other stuff. He has a good point about sidebars (don't do it), but if you have written about something tangential previously, links are a nice way to avoid that. Works for pointing to other people's work as well.
* just ship it. He alludes to this in the last point, but seriously, the perfect blog post that never is published is 100% worse than the 80% done blog post.
* remember that while you are obsessing over everything, your reader likely isn't. Recall how closely you read this article? That is how closely most readers will read anything you publish.
* start with the end in mind (the title and the conclusion should be related and the thread should run through it).
* kill your darlings. If something doesn't fit, no matter how interesting or witty it is, copy it off to some other doc (possibly for another article). Or delete it. Either way, remove it from your piece.

> Copyrights should be shorter

You're going up against a big lobby. To do that you first need a functioning democracy.

In a place where "the people" rule, copyright'd be optimized to ensure a rich commons for everyone to enjoy. That was the original idea behind intellectual property law, e.g. copyright. Now it's big biz holding our culture for ransom.

I’m not sure why you keep comparing Denmark to India, but India actually has very accessible on-demand healthcare compared to the USA/EU. It wouldn’t be an issue.
Although 90% is very high, it does take some money to figure out how to allocate the rest of the money. Spending 100k on a study on how best to allocate the remaining 400k but spending it twice as well results in a 20% administration fee but more good done.

Genesis Therapeutics | Burlingame, CA | Onsite (Flexible WFH) | Full-time | https://www.genesistherapeutics.ai

We’re a hybrid AI + biotech start-up, developing novel deep learning and molecular simulation techniques to predict molecular properties and using them to accelerate the development of new medicines.

We raised $52M Series A from Andreessen Horowitz + well-respected biotech investors, and have deployed our technology on several internal drug programs as well as a multi-target collaboration with Genentech, driving discovery progress at a speed rarely seen in the industry. Now we are scaling the team and technology to support many more drug programs in parallel as well as increasingly difficult protein targets.

We currently have a team (https://www.genesistherapeutics.ai/#team) of about 30 people, split 50/50 between our ML / software team and our biochem team of veteran drug hunters in our own wetlab space. Our ML + software engineers are top-notch -- many graduates from MIT, UC Berkeley, Stanford. Previously worked at OpenAI, Google, Facebook, SingleStore (FKA MemSQL), Jane Street, etc.

We're looking for pure software engineers (no bio or chem experience expected) to help build flexible production systems to integrate our ML models, molecular simulation platform, and molecular generation techniques into our drug programs. This includes helping build individual algorithmic components, iterating on our chemist-facing model deployment pipeline, and leveraging our autoscaling cluster of hundreds of GPUs and thousands of CPUs processing billions of molecules / day. See the full job description here: https://jobs.lever.co/genesistherapeutics/e76a97f1-1157-4bb7...

We're also hiring ML research scientists and computational chemists. Here are all of our open roles: https://jobs.lever.co/genesistherapeutics/

Interview process: 1-2 one-hour technical phone screens, 1 day on-site (optionally virtual) with 3 one-hour technical questions. All these include extra time to chat, answer your questions about Genesis, and meet us. Can go from first email to offer in a week or two

Tech Stack: python, C++, pytorch, postgres, flask, docker, kubernetes

Please apply on our website, or feel free to reach out via email directly: ben@genesistherapeutics.ai

If your egress is significant, you might consider Direct Connect. You get $0.02/GB egress with Direct Connect. You'd have to rent space in a data center and pay for cross connections to both AWS Direct Connect and an Internet carrier, but those are fixed monthly costs that would get your variable egress cost down to $0.02/GB without talking to the AWS sales department.
Are there any campaigns or groups working on reducing the standard copyright term length? I believe this is a very worthwhile pursuit, but very complicated to undertake. The WIPO Copyright Treaty and the Berne Convention are international agreements, and individual countries also have their own laws. Thus I'm not even sure how one would go about starting to lobby for a reduced copyright term.
I think I broadly share your distaste for bias and corporate media in general. However, one would hope there could be better alternatives than woke to bland and indefinite conservatism.

> No party wins popular vote anymore (as in more than 50%). With FPTP, we are stuck with less-than ideal seats-to-votes correlation.

As a side-note, I recently learned that the more unambiguous terms for this are "plurality" (more than all others) and "majority" (more than half). I think "popular vote" is also often used as a synonym for plurality, but I am not completely sure. Sorry, I am ESL :-)

The USDA allows Mobile Slaughter Units. My state does not have one, because it's too expensive to bootstrap. We're talking millions of dollars of capital expenditures to get one running, because you still need a non-mobile facility in which to finish processing and pack the meat.

None of the existing processors are willing to invest in such a venture, when their existing facilities are increasingly being regulated out of existence. No one is building new USDA facilities to serve small farmers.
