Yes since the background image is static you don't need a greenscreen. From watching just once, I think the guy never overlaps his clone(s). So you make two separate versions where their bounding boxes won't overlap (requires some planning) and then just show the left two-thirds of the bg image with guy 1, and the right one-third with guy 2, divided by a simple vertical cut.

And the overall zooming/panning is done after the merging. That's how I'd approach it.
That's the wrong metric.

These people aren't expecting that kind of engagement with commercial posts, just the exposure of them.

I don't like and comment the posts from the manufacturers of the food I buy at the supermarket. That's an impressions game.

The culture wars ads get additional boosts to get those impressions.

It's a gambit that assumes most people either don't care or are happy if there's a trans person in the ad and the lift they get from the interacting malcontents in aggregate pays off.

Probably does. I keep seeing them. Or at least whatever 3rd party ad agency companies like Kroger's and Aetna uses knows how to juice those numbers up to keep the contracts

I wonder if I would see more if I followed celebrities that take strong issues with this stuff. It'd be a great thing to test

Thanks for at least looking at the data and not dismissing it out of hand.

The article you link above to support vaccine effectiveness refers to three studies, all of which are pre-Omicron (the first looks at Jul '21 to Oct '21, the second specifically at Alpha and Delta variants, and the third from Dec '20 to Sep '21). A key point of my comment was do show that, with the advent of Omicron, the playing field has changed substantially, which your data do not address - but my data did.

I didn't and wasn't telling people not to get vaccinated. I believe, though, that there is a world where we can simultaneously talk about how the vaccine doesn't work as well as it should or could, and look to better solutions, including a new or improved vaccine.
Too right! I want my links to look like links, something to identify that it's a clickable.
> maybe "middle" is best conceived as a point in possibility space -- it's the position over which someone must travel to ever get beside you in the future.

Physical motion is continuous, but change of ideas is not physical movement. The ex-Trotskyites that became the original neoconservatives did not move through a continuous path of intermediary ideologies on their left->right journey.

> Denying the middle position as "non-truth" is only helpful if one's goals have less to do with depolarization.

Why would depolarization be a goal independent of the specific consensus position achieved?
Did we read the same passage? The editor called wolpoff and caspari "minority views" and "provocative" in the book they were contributing to! In an academic work, that's excoriating. Moreover, that's from a book in 2013, not a cutting edge work. Here's what how it's phrased in more recent papers:

[1] Genetic studies have repeatedly falsified classic multiregionalism. However, various aspects have returned under different guises, for example, refs. 1,2, and thus it requires repeating: genetic data do not support an origin of Eurasian peoples primarily from locally evolving Homo populations over the past one to two million years, with a limited contribution from later African arrivals.

[2] In the 1980s and 1990s, much of paleoanthropology was focused on whether modern humans originated across the Old World (Multiregionalism) or exclusively within Africa (Out of Africa). With the resolution of this question [1] — current consensus has modern humans originating in Africa — attention has now turned to discussion of what was happening within the continent before modern humans expanded their range globally...

[3] Therefore, models for the origin of our species, H. sapiens, have moved away from the confrontation of two extreme antagonistic points of view: (1) the Multiregional Model of modern human origins implying the gradual evolution of global archaic hominin populations towards a modern human morphology over the course of the last 2 million years;9,10 and (2) the hypothesis of a unique Out of Africa event...

It's very, very dead.

It really doesn't matter whether you are based in Europe or not. Sendgrid for instance is an American company, but still has to follow the GDPR.

My name is Colton. I have been a web developer professionally for about 5 years.

Why me?:

I am a modern web developer. Although I have doing web development since the days of MySpace profiles and <table>-based layouts, I use all the latest tooling and fancy tricks. I am looking to join a software development team.

I am a novice engineer: a good fit for an engineering team but a bad fit for a company looking for one senior-level engineer to lead engineering overall.

After working on SMB websites for years, I want to move on to join a SaaS team that delivers a product instead. While I do appreciate my current job, it does not fully utilize my skill set.

Bottom line: I love to build things. I want to be the guy on your team that not only helps architect systems but also makes them look pretty.

Let's chat!
The solution to the energy crisis isn’t to relax risk tolerance when political will and capital allocation are all that is necessary.
I like it but forget the whole "network" part. Double opt-in only with the owner of the account not able to upload or add email addresses. That might stop it for a little while from becoming spam and have people that truly want to hear from you.
It's very much reflective of large and successful companies in big cities with a high cost of living. Otherwise, not so much.
> There are slews of other effects of Covid that would definitely end his career.

He already had covid that did not end his career.

> I have little patience for folks that refuse to get vaccinated. You are more likely to catch and therefore spread covid (possibly killing others) and much more likely to add to the stress on the healthcare system when you get covid. If you do decide not to vaccinate after knowing this and understanding that the risks from a vaccine are less than the risks from the virus, I fully expect you to stay home and minimize your effect on others. This is partially so that folks that cannot be vaccinated don't have to suffer because you won't do your part.

When the vaccine efficacy against transmission is as low as it is, this makes little sense to me. Covid vaccines seem mostly good for protecting yourself individually from severe disease and death. For everything else they don't seem to do much. Not enough to mandate them and for guilt-tripping the hesitant. Folks that cannot be vaccinated will catch omicron regardless of the vaccination status of the rest of the population.

Maybe interesting story, but all the popups on that site tipped my scale to nope.
`!!thing` is a fairly common JS idiom for "I have a truthy/falsy thing and I want true or false."
> since as a French speaker, "boob" wasn't part of my vocabulary.

I think this sentence has been carefully constructed to be kind of true. The original author certainly knew what "boob" mean at the time. And the name "weboob" was voluntarily chosen as a pun. Now if you ask him maybe he will deny (I have other memories, but who cares) or maybe he will simply say that we do not use "boob" on a day to day basis in french so the pun seemed completely inconsequential.

But frankly, that's not a big deal, and nobody gives a shit to begin with. Everybody has been young, and some big bosses of far bigger companies have way more annoying histories. As for his company "budget insight", IIRC they already had contracts with some banks when it was still called "weboob" with even more terrible module names available.
This might sound like a good idea, but sooner or later you will need to integrate some third party library, and you’ll see that properly scoping your styles is better.
> Suckless tools are developed for the needs (and the benefit) of their own developers, and nobody else. Remember that.

This a key point. I personally would rather work in Lua than C; the Suckless developers feel the opposite way. This is fine, except when the Suckless developers imply that people who make different technical decisions are inferior or ignorant.

Structure And Randomness In The Prime Numbers (2007) [pdf]
It's fascinating to me that the coins dated all the way from 200 AD to 400 AD. Finding a US cent from even 100 years ago is a surprise and delight these days, and I imagine it's similar throughout the world. But somehow, 1600 years ago, somebody had a hoard of coins that were up to 200 years old.

There is a distinction for multilevel marketing schemes, I believe, that basically says if the majority of the incentive structure is about signing up new people, then it's still a pyramid scheme, even if some token product changes hands.

The law isn't there yet, but NFTs are analogous: There is some putative "art" involved, but it's basically variations of ponzi or pump-and-dump where the value comes from convincing people that the value will be higher later. The fact that something (generously) tangible is involved does not alter the nature of the scheme.

So for that reason, they are not art, the same way some phone card pyramid scheme is not a sales business.
Maybe because of the use of the "double bang" pattern to convert a value to boolean:

!!41 === true
!!0 === false
This makes sense.

Also it's known(both by researchers and users) that cannabis can increase/create paranoia in some people. And paranoia is stressful so that can lead to schizophrenia(and paranoia is a part of the diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia).

It's hard to argue in the abstract without figures and expected returns. If paying off the debt opens the door higher returns, then I'm all for it. All things being equal, I'll keep $250k cash with a $250k mortgage at 2.7% today, as opposed to a paid-off house and a $250k hole in my account.
It sounds like you have never dealt with an aggressive marketing department before. They'll ask you to "bend the rules of your personal definitions" in order to let them do whatever they wish.

Unless the video [0] I had seen (some time ago) on the subject didn't explain it right, it seems to be conflating "group think" and pattern recognition with "everyone on reddit is a bot except you"[1]/"the Internet is a Markov chain". I've had too many exchanges with obvious humans on Reddit to believe a super-majority of it is bot-generated. Than there are the plethora of terrible chat bots that kind of prove the point the Internet can't all be botted without being obviously so. And than they (he?) layer(s) in the conspiracies like "Facebook is a DARPA-sponsored project" because of funny timing [2]. And than there's my own observations when looking at people "in the wild" and how many are glued to their phones; the Internet is a potent addiction and there's no need for a fringe theory to explain it.

I can absolutely believe that a lot of comments on these baits are bots trying to look real for like/engagement-farms - could even explain why they catch like wildfire - as they are the perfect target with one-worded comments copied from others looking normal. But seems to me that theory [3] is a stretch, although it sounds like a compelling dystopia.

Would you rather work with someone who added a major subsystem to one of your compilers for fun or someone who had never coded but could recite the ISO standard by heart? Who believes the former person “would not be able to answer questions about [the subject]”?

If measurements tend to become targets over time then the goal of “develop expertise” measured by “pass a test” shifts to a goal of “pass the test”, and the test is limited to what you can ask hundreds of students in a couple of hours, and they’ve seen practise papers and last year’s papers and you can’t talk to them, and you can’t see them work or the results of their work.

Is that then a good way, to develop and validate their expertise? Is it the best available way?

Please publish. Even if you are filing some patents or working on some other commercial licensing, you could publish under a source available licenses. Just yesterday I saw in the 3D printing Reddit some academics developed an interesting approach to segment large panel sections and posted a paper. A number of people are interested to try it but no source code seems to be published - so I just moved on as I'd have to take the trouble to reimplement the paper even to just try it .

Thanks for the cool IPA! I think that seems totally reasonable that the word boundary itself is phonetic, as such it could be intentionally accentuated (as a longer than usual pause) to clarify. Oh wait but isn't [pʰ] word-initial only anyway? So in a way it has an implicit word boundary.

BTW does your accent not aspirate "pour"? So you don't do /ma͡is pʰoː/?
I canceled these guys last year, zero regrets, I'm not sure there's much of a good reason to still be subscribed to them in 2022. It has very few good movies, very few good shows, and quite frankly I'm not a fan of their politics or content deletion/promotion policies much either - it seems to really cater to "that" Twitter crowd. They can keep it, I suppose.

BitTorrent and RedBox is far more convenient with far better choices, and with the money I saved from just a couple of months of not paying Netflix, I was able to purchase a huge 2TB drive to store it all.

How much are you paying in total per year for all these streaming services? Calculate how much more fun you could have using that money for something else. Once I did that there was no going back.
They scan pretty regularly and with a membership you can submit scans on demand. Picking a /16 I work with, the oldest full scan is 12/15 and the newest is 1/14 — and I say “full scan” because the oldest hosts show far more recent updates (1/13) for things like the web server ports which had previously been found open.
If the compensation does not impact basic lifestyle, then yes people do like to choose better /interesting jobs provided their hygiene needs are getting met, that is becoming harder every year. Rents/ Mortgages / College Fees are all climbing higher than compensation increases at the entry level.

Even in tech there are a plenty of people paid less than 80 or 90k. On top of that these hefty student loans and high rent , steep mortgages that today's emerging work force is burdened with, it is not easy to ignore even small financial incentives when they are always trying to make ends meet and have to make basic quality of life sacrifices.

This article is bad directed. If there were about 40% of women doing IT-related studies but only 10% working in IT every year it would be clearly explained by the bad culture exposed that some of those IT companies have, but that's not the reality.

I don't think it matters a good or a bad working culture for the amount of people studying something, and if this were true, there would be a lot less persons studying bachelors in law or English, for example.

On the other hand let's look other places, like the North of Europe, where university education is free, there are a high level of work culture quality, there are pretty progressive about men and women having same kind of jobs, and they lack those nerd and bro cultures the article talk: Why don't they have a 50/50 (or a 60/40) rate of men/women?

With that I don't want to belittle the importance of those questions, and how bad are for the women, for the industry, and for the society in general, but also think this isn't the only thing that avoid women entering in that world.

I'm not a woman and there are for sure details I don't know about all of this, and asking those who don't picked an IT career and are interested in tech is surely will give us more answers.
Got it. Makes sense - thanks for your reply.

"Loved what I was doing"

"and felt endeared of my manager"

"our goals"

So 1 and 3 are a little bit more objective, you can determine those on your own.

But #2?

If you're worried about your managers 'EQ' - why do you not contemplate your own?

Do you assume a lack of visceral empathy from your manager means that they 'don't care' - and - even if they didn't care that much, why do you care?

It's nice when my manager says 'Great Work' and it's important to know I'm respected - that's a matter of professionalism, i.e. recognition of competence.

But I do don't care one bit otherwise.

My manager is busy. Putting out fires, dragged into stupid meetings. I would not want his job.

Why would I want to burden him with having worry about 'me'.

Reading this thread I'm a bit dismayed by a lot of emotion just brimming beneath the surface, I think small things have a tendency to collect up on people over time ... but I also don't suspect that staffers realize how much control they have over their disposition towards most of these things things.

I wish more people had experience managing or even with directorships, it can be brutal - those are probably the two, worst jobs in the system, and it's interesting how far the gap in understanding is between front-line contributor, and just one layer up.
> As a high school CS teacher, I've seen how boys can be towards girls interested in coding.

I'm surprised. I was expecting the opposite (boys wanting more girls in the classroom!).

> All of this swings both ways, of course, and men are deterred from positions like elementary school teacher, nursing, and secretary roles.

It's interesting that there's an acknowledgement that we need more male nurses (from healthcare professionals) and male elementary school teachers (from experts in the field) and yet there are zero initiatives to do so.

By that I mean money being spent toward that goal. The same way there's a will to have more "diversity" in medicine... mainly so that people of color can go serve "their people" in underserved areas (read: not very attractive or lucrative).

But in computing we’re spending a fortune and investing time to essentially… commoditize ourselves.
Wow, what a wonderful site, I wish I'd had this when I was trying to learn those cursed Czerny scales.
