The risk for rescinding offers is drastically larger for the employee than the employer. An employee most likely would of left previous employer, which means they currently do not have health insurance in United States, could of sold a house / terminated lease, canceled daycare or after school program, transferred kids school. Many of these things you cannot undo once done, and put you back to the back of the line. I sure hope companies that do this can never hire another person again.

It's really rare for an escaped "pet ferret" population to boom on it's own, since most ferrets purchased in the pet trade (i.e. not specifically purchased for breeding) are already spayed/neutered. This isn't the case for most other pet species.

IIRC, this is done because female ferrets who go into heat can/do die if they don't mate and male ferrets will become quite hostile when near a female in heat.

I've been wondering about why there was no linux support, and found an e-mail from the author of the subcommand (as well as the github.blog post) explaining the situation.

Apparently an older implementation using inotify was dropped because inotify does not work recursively, so you would have to do an inotify call for all directories of the hierarchy which is obviously very inefficient. There are system wide limits in the number of directories you can listen to, and even if you increase the limit you would probably cause a lot of overhead.

Newer linuxes support the fanotify system call, which does allow recursive listening. They haven't implemented something using fanotify yet however.

While I argue he's the most recent embodiment of that outrage, the populace has been fighting on and off for over two hundred years.

How come?
That was a good read. Some slightly different perspectives:

It feels like a wild west in GNNs right now, with a big paper or tool every few weeks. Interestingly, many of the issues discussed in the article are already components in modern OSS frameworks:

- heterogeneity: RGCNs split weight matrices by node type, with diff versions in most frameworks now. Issues like smoothing are interesting too, as discussed.

- scaling: sampling and various memory techniques are enabling handling massive graphs on single nodes, metapaths & other structures enable farther communication, etc. Especially impressive is OSS scaling work by cugraph+dgl teams.

At the same time, even with that, we're finding it's still too hard for non-academic teams to use this stuff in production/operational scenarios: model zoo (esp. some particularly important modeling areas not discussed like time), GPUs, clusters, data pipeline integrations, etc. Imagine having 100K cyber alerts aggreated every day or a 50M users/transactions and wanting to score them... It's nowhere as easy (yet) as something like adding a layer to BERT like NLP people can do. If that's more your speed:

- We're working on OSS automl for graph ai, trying to get typical internal team pipelines to go from events data to decisions & UIs in a few lines. First out was for UMAP and we've been pushing on GNNs more recently, http://github.com/graphistry/pygraphistry . Elsewhere, we're also working on the MLOps side and some key modeling scenarios.

- ... both graphistry + almost all our customers & partners are hiring here! If you're into data (analytics/mlops/dataeng/ds), or general js/python fullstack dev, a lot happening here for missions like supply chain, cyber, fraud, & misinfo. Would love to chat!

EDIT: Another two things I've found interesting:

-- GNNs are probably most researched by folks in material sciences (chem, physics, ...), and it's really changing things like protein folding, and maybe next biggest on social networks. We see equal practicality for other key problem (cyber, fraud, supply chain, ...), but we're seeing much less academic work in these, and I think that's b/c academics are at a significant data disadvantage vs most industry teams. So even though big interest outside of the academic team areas, it's quite early days.

-- Industrially, we're seeing GNNs promoted primarily by graph databases.. but almost all graph databases are CPU-based vs GPU-based, and in our polls of commercial GNN usage, typically not as part of a graph DB pipeline but something like regular data lakes (parquet, ...) feeding into regular scalable GPU compute tiers
actually sorry to be pedantic but it's legomenon not logomenon, it's a participle of the verb λέγω, "to say", not λόγος (reason), which I'm assuming explains the mistake.

I have a healthy suspicion of the performance of file-watchers. I hope this feature doesn’t make Git faster at the expense of “all filesystem operations crawl”.
The pessimism here is because there is no real money to be made in carbon capture without significant and expensive policy change. Put simply, carbon capture is a public good, which will require significant public expense even in the most optimistic of cases. If we're willing to go that far, we're better off just implementing a carbon tax or a cap-and-trade scheme for emissions.

Our problem is that this is a technological solution for a problem that needs a policy solution.
ArduPilot then? Or they are just inventing theoretic vulnerabilities to drum and panic/business. On a second read it feels more like the latter.
Rebasing is when a whole branch (a chain of commits) is picked up and moved on to some other commit. It's easy to build up on that.

Working tree is current state of files. Index is the staging area or the buffer (if I am not forgetting) where you put your changes you are about to permanently commit.

Git is distributed system. Your repo can point to another repo as its remote copy. Can have multiple remotes. The default remote is 'origin'. When pushed, changes are uploaded to that remote repo. The remote repo doesn't have to be on a server. You can have it locally in another folder. When you push, your changes will be copied to that one too.

Edit: I don't know how merge really works, and merge issues have been difficult to resolve therefore.
Nope. There is at least one other case that loses work irretrievably. Details can be found in sibling comments.
The economic benefits of controlling the climate should be fairly obvious. What you really meant is that we don't know how to make carbon capture enrich the specific person of Charles Koch, yet.
How did you use it?
CO2 makes up roughly 0.04% of the atmosphere. Handwaving, that means for every ton of carbon you remove you'd need to process at least 250 tons of air. To capture humanities current yearly output, you'd need to process over 7 Trillion tons of air per year... the scales just don't make sense.
Sorry, Elon Musk, but you’ve got it all wrong about ESG and Tesla
It's highly unlikely, given that released/escaped pet ferrets can't breed. Ferrets purchased for the pet trade are all sterilized as a ferret in heat doesn't end well.

Females can die if they go into heat and don't have a mate to breed with, and male ferrets can get very hostile around a female in heat.
I hear you! What do you propose is the future instead? Curious to hear about what you're working on, we need people working across all areas of planetary solutions.
so, in the article it says "they’re aiming to remove millions of tons of CO2 per year by 2030 and a billion per year by 2050."

So, this is just a step on the path....but, those numbers do seem pretty aspirational at this stage.

The chapter I referenced by Ken Ames includes a whole definition section, which in turn cites the classic definition by Morton Fried:

1) Everyone has access to the necessities of life and

2) Equal access to positions of prestige, which don't confer dominance over others

That's typically contrasted with so-called "ranked societies", which are on the farther end of lacking one or both of these. Without getting too political or making value judgements, "American society" has both severely unequal access to the necessities of life (e.g. I can afford housing in the bay area as a tech worker, but others cannot) as well as positions of prestige and dominance over others that are not reciprocal (e.g. Uber CEO vs Uber SWEs vs Uber drivers).
> I too have seen the articles proclaiming that devs should stop implementing auth themselves

It's a moved goal post which sneakily tries to position itself on top of the old adage "never roll your own crypto". Problem is, that adage is really about security whereas "don't roll your own auth" is about not wanting to do a mostly boring part of your job. I'd take my hat off if they'd admit it, but it's much easier to get budget with potential security scares compared to "we don't wanna".

> I'm not sure we are really disagreeing. Being receptive of magic is to enjoy the idea of being "cheated" on, so I'd agree that it's not necessarily rational to feel cheated in the way you were cheated. Whatever the end justifies the means, and so on.

I'm confident that we're disagreeing. Sure, you expect to be deceived at a magic show. But that's a necessary part of magic, not a sufficient one. If you attend a magic show and it's just someone playing acoustic guitar for 2 hours, you'll feel cheated. That's different than thinking the magician's hands were empty when in fact he was palming a card. There are clearly two very distinct senses we're using for the same term "cheated." You can't just sell someone a fake ticket to a magic show then say "tada!"

> For example, you've made it fairly clear you'd think of any visual effects to be negative cheating.

If I'm watching a video production that is ostensibly a live recording of a magic performance, then of course I think post-production visual effects are just straight up cheating, in the same way that I would feel cheated if it just ended up being a video of someone playing acoustic guitar.

> But what if I actually do use visual effects, but successfully double down and convince you that it _isn't_, even though you'd normally be technically aware to spot such a thing. Would you enjoy being misdirected like that?

If I literally can't tell the difference and thus I'm completely deceived, then obviously I can't be upset. But if I later found out, then of course I would be upset. Again, being "misdirected" is necessary but not sufficient.

And at the end of the day, I still enjoy learning how a magic trick is done more than I enjoy just watching magic tricks.
And here we see the difference between available and accessible :)

No, it's generally not illegal to fire the scam victim employee. However, it almost certainly looks awful in the press. My point was that the employer was likely trying to distance themselves from any accusation in that respect. Further, constructive dismissal is an offence into and of itself in many jurisdictions, so that stands alone. It's just difficult to prove and prosecute.

"Orca can capture about 4,000 tons of carbon per year (for scale, that’s equal to the annual emissions of 790 cars).

Now Climeworks is building another facility that makes Orca seem tiny by comparison. The company broke ground on its Mammoth plant this week. With a CO₂ capture capacity of 36,000 tons per year, Mammoth will be almost 10 times larger than Orca."

A lot of negativity in this thread, oddly. This is a 10X improvement over a previous version. Another magnitude or two and this becomes incredible for the environment. Other solutions should also happen, but a problem as big as climate change should have many parallel solutions. We don't have time to put all our eggs in one basket.

The money would be better spent on getting the students and their families the mental, educational and financial support needed for everyone's well being. It may not stop shooters, cause shooters are gonna shoot - like it or not, they will just move to sporting events or similar. In Texas, Friday High School football games regularly have 5-10k+ people attending regular season games - more on rivals and playoffs. School door locks and cameras aren't going to help them there. And, if they can't get guns legally, they can get them from Mexico smugglers, gangs, etc. It's not terribly difficult

Reminds me of a time in middle school, before all this school shooter nonsense; a friends father was moving his kids to private school and when I asked why, I was told he wanted them in a safer (richer) school. I was confused and replied that our school was safe, "we have full time cops at the school" - his reply was, "exactly, the point is that there shouldn't be". It was profound for me at the time, and thinking about it - it was normal to look out the class window and see cop cars and k-9s and hear stories about drugs and weapons being found. Classrooms were packed and teachers still didn't get much support from the district.
> The company broke ground on its Mammoth plant this week. With a CO₂ capture capacity of 36,000 tons per year, Mammoth will be almost 10 times larger than Orca.

> While Orca has 8 collector containers each about the size and shape of a standard shipping container, Mammoth will have 80.

This doesn't seems practical to scale. To capture 36,000,000 tons (1/1000 of the current global output) they'd need 80,000 shipping containers?

> Meanwhile, global emissions topped 36 billion tons last year.

> “We started with milligrams of carbon dioxide captured from the air,” he said. “Then we went from milligrams to grams, from grams to kilograms to tons to 1,000 tons.” That sort of leveling up over the course of 13 years is no small feat.

If it took 13 years to reach the current scale, how many more orders of magnitude are left to squeeze out?
>> do they ban providing the service within the state, or does it ban having the procedure anywhere at all?

States have substantial powers in this area. If they declare the unborn to be a "person" then they can do things to protect those people from being removed from the state. Some are talking about charging women with murder should they travel to another state for an abortion. The rules about people moving between states to take advantage of different laws are very old. They go to slavery and allowing or not allowing people to move between slave and free states. Similarly, the rules governing how and when people are extradited between states go back that far too. We could soon see states like New York refusing to extradite women charged with an abortion-related offenses. This would mirror very old cases of escaped slaves not being returned.

This is awesome. Especially the fact that it's built-in and easy to turn on.

Seams like quite a complex solution though. I guess some big company (Microsoft?) implemented it internally for their own use and later tried to move it to upstream git. I wonder if there was some pushback from git maintainers from having this functionality built-in.

Also why for Windows they use named pipes when in theory Windows also supports it? (https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/af_unix-comes-to-...)
