Those need to be dash-style options. Because if someone runs a `rmt *` in a directory and there's a trash_flush file inside, it will NOT do what one expects and will be destructive.

This is why options are traditionally prefixed with dashes. (Yeah sure, you have the same problem if you have a file that starts with dash, I already hear someone point out.)

Since you suggest to alias rm to rmt, your application needs to behave like rm and have a similar UI.

SEC Investigates Creator of Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs
Seems that the SEC is getting its hand into all things related to crypto. Not sure how they'd classify these NFTs as a security, unless maybe Yuga Labs promised owners income. Hopefully they don't regulate the industry to death. However, appropriate regulation could be very good for the industry.
To be honest Carmack have a good reasons to work on it even if it means work for TheEvilCorp: first of all if you listen to him he is truly interested in advancing VR tech. So he doesn't do it just for the money.

Also I guess he run out of money when Armadillo Aerospace has failed and at least before he talked like he want to make second attempt in space industry and this will require a lot of money.
As best I can tell the push for this comes from the top and no one who knows better is stopping him.

Yeah... Not much of a spec sheet. I don't think there is a registration for a "world class" specification anywhere.

People are constantly joining and leaving my team and requirements change on a daily basis and are vague/fuzzy. If an environment like this, I'm not sure formal performance reviews even make sense. I get my shit done every week but whether it's good shit or not is very subjective. Whenever I get my performance review I will take it as a political statement.

Off-cycle promotions can be fairly easy, but not in-place. With the constant churn in our line of work, an existing project may have a vacancy that's already budgeted for the higher level that left. Ar my company, in-place promotions are almost non-existent beyond entry to mid level.
I think what's more important is transparency. Tell us the modifiers used in the hiring process. Are black people a 1.25x or 1.5x modifier? What are the modifiers for impoverished individuals? Then we can start to come to a consensus as a society, how much we want each modifier to be. But as long as these weights and biases are kept behind closed doors, we'll be left spouting speculation until the end of time.
Thats a very interesting point that I've never considered. Where can I read more about that? Is there a study you can link me to?

Wow... thanks to the person that posted the YouTube link, because I have Facebook blocked. Carmack was good to listen to, but the pan in when they turned it over to him /felt/ laggy, like you could see frame rate jitter, and the entire thing was out of sync. I'm generally pretty bullish on VR for entertainment and collaboration long-term, but this honestly felt like going back 20 years ago. I've had more realistic and smoother experiences in MMOs with voice chat.
The idea of being painted as a literal second class citizen if you have lower end hardware is gross, but it's also the natural destination of progressive enhancement if e.g. facial expressions only work with the expensive thing.
Don't actually alias it with 'rm' or you'll have a bad surprise waiting when you are on a different system and your muscle memory kicks in.

I even had to disable rm for non-privileged users on my systems just to get used to use trash-cli.
I did mention that I tried it. The issue is less with the extension and more with dealing with Gnome. I think Gnome has sane defaults and works pretty well for a lot of people but the problem is that the second you want to change something it fights you and Gnome has gotten increasingly hostile towards user customization with each release. I think another issue might have been with setting keybinds with hyper and meh is problematic but it's been a while since I've used Gnome.

Then the ones who are writing stories involving physical prowess don't have business doing so if they are expecting a sizable audience. Some people just want the fantasy that femininity magically creates masculine results. That's fine. The rest of the world isn't going to take it any more seriously than they would a film about a chimp being elected president.
On MacOS "pulling in complex UI framework" amounts to "#[link(name = "AppKit", kind = "framework")]" somewhere in my Rust codebase. On Windows it's similar.

With Gnome it seems unclear how to do something equally simple to get decorations that match the OS look and feel. The most popular Rust windowing library ended up implementing their own client-side decorations rendering that imitates GTK: https://github.com/rust-windowing/winit/pull/2263.

And if every framework / app is doing this in their own subtly different way then the result is an OS where many apps have slightly different UX, buttons, text rendering, shadows, etc. A horribly unpolished experience.
Well I looked at the live AUP when I had posted my comment and it had not been changed. Your link just pulls up a blank PDF. Typically they send out an email to sellers every-time they update terms on the site so if they were planning on doing this it never made it to the live site (I never received an email), and they've received a fair amount of backlash at this point so it would appear if they were planning on doing this they've backed down for now.

Ask HN: Why is jQuery hated but frequently used?
When you read HN or other programmer focused sites, you will read continuisly about that jQuery is a big failure of the past and should not be used anymore.

But when I look at current statistics (https://trends.builtwith.com/javascript/jQuery) or Enterprise software like SAP's Fiori UI5 framework, there is very often jQuery implemented.

Why is that so? I mean, if all those people are right, who are complaining about jQuery, why those big players still use it?
Is it really because of old habits and technical dept, or is it because it is good?

I must say, I really enjoy writing JS with jQuery, still today. It's short, understandable, simple... Maybe not the fastest, but I really don't know if that's really the case.

You can't be seriously saying that Hollywood plays such a big role in people's culture and upbringing the world over, that a few movies would lead to such a fundamental difference?

> Of all the factors most predictive of economic mobility in America, one factor clearly stands out in their study: family structure. By their reckoning, when it comes to mobility, “the strongest and most robust predictor is the fraction of children with single parents.” They find that children raised in communities with high percentages of single mothers are significantly less likely to experience absolute and relative mobility. Moreover, “[c]hildren of married parents also have higher rates of upward mobility if they live in communities with fewer single parents.” In other words, as the figure below indicates, it looks like a married village is more likely to raise the economic prospects of a poor child.

There is only one solution: To be completely objective and treat everyone equally.

This is rational, straightforward, healthy and just righteous in a deep way. It creates an environment bereft of envy and injustice.

Turns out, most high brain mass mammals have a innate sense of fairness. When humans are treated unfairly because of some ostensible moral goal whether through racism or D&I; the end result is not pretty. Humans of all culture are enamored and magnetized by fairness and justice. But those words have been twisted to mean exactly the opposite by contemporaneous social-justice movements.

This was the mainstream view of the Civil Rights movement. It was utterly beautiful. But, post-moderity came and neo-Marxists have reigned for last 40 years in USA at least, gutting out Universities and now, Corporations.

Huh.. this is actually something I'm working on at the moment. The value is being able to asynchronously listen to audio of an article while keeping going with your work.

At the moment I'm relying on AWS primarily, it's got a couple good neural voices that I enjoy listening to, and then sync it up with S3 and a possible SNS (simple notification service). Glad to see someone else has seen a need for it, but I've also been thinking of how to do it agnostic of AWS.

It's possible at the moment for me to go into reader view, copy and paste the content into AWS polly interface, paste the bucket name, paste the SNS ARN, and then wait for it to finish, find it in the bucket and then open it.

I want that all in 3 steps, Start the Conversion, Find it easier in a better user interface, Hit Play.

And then from there, start implementing an SSML builder to modify the speed and prose of different paragraphs and stuff, but that's super far down the line.

It's the passthrough camera res yes, they mentioned this in the presentation. 4X is easy to believe because the Q2's passthrough resolution is really low. Of course those cams were initially specced only for tracking so that makes sense.

It's strange that the display resolution is not mentioned anywhere on meta's site though. Overall this spec sheet is pretty useless.

During the presentation they mentioned "37% more pixels" than quest 2, and more density in the center due to the new lenses. I assume the 2160x2160 ventured on some sites is pretty much correct and the Quest 2-like 1830x1920 is not. Would be great to get actual confirmation though.
When will they announce shadows? I am so excited for every state of the art technology dribbling out of Meta these days.
Can you quote the part of the article where they say there was no difference in evaluations after controlling for attrition? Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but I do not see that claim anywhere in the article. What I see are claims that:

1. There is no interviewer bias: because women performed exactly the same even with voices that sound like men's voices. Which has the serious flaw I pointed out. I.e "we made women sound like men but they still under-performed in interviews compared to men" so therefor interviewers must not be biased. Ugh. That's terrible science. Because if interviewers can still detect gender after voice modulation then the voice modulation accomplished nothing.

2. Since the interviewers could no longer be biased, the gender gap in performance must come from something else. Oops, the experiment never proved that the interviewers couldn't detect gender. The writer goes on to talk about how bad the problem of attrition is, but I see nowhere that the writer claims performance differences disappear after controlling for attrition. And there is no proof that the attrition wasn't caused by....... women leaving after interviews they felt were sexist.

This is just piss poor science. Which explains why it's an only article and not a peer-reviewed study. And why it got no attention after it was published in 2016.
I hate this kind of article where something constantly moves. I can't scroll away one funny GIF without the next one appearing.

> The Cultural Revolution: A people's history

Never read it, have you read "Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China" or "Mao?" by Jung Chang? Great books on the subject as well, I'll check yours out. Not sure what this has to do with my post though. Maybe the term 'anti-intellectual' was wrong, but I was referring to the fact that the article seemed to say "DE&I Bad, Merit Good" with a superiority complex about it, and I was just saying that that position on its own isn't necessarily the intellectually superior position, even though I think "merit" gets assumed as being more necessarily more objective.
Unenriched uranium will fission eventually, but you're talking trillions of years. In a fission reactor, the U238 atoms are placed close enough to a minority of U235 atoms and to each othekr that neutrons from one fission will trigger the next at a rate just short of running away exponentially.

There are some ore bodies that are concentrated enough to fission faster, but they are rare (and not the uranium that is typically mined for fuel).
The only people who actually do believe performance reviews (as they are practiced in the corporate world) genuinely measure performance... are the Dunning-Kruger'd tech bros who have convinced themselves tech is a "meritocracy" and they really deserve their positions.
it's gonna be money well spent for sure
Thanks for the arcgis link. It is interesting to compare to the Sentinel 1A data from the study[0]. For example there is one existing (ground based) measurement East of Mont Belvieu (P050), but most of the displacement in the satellite data appears just to the West, centered on Mont Belvieu. This is by eye only, so I may be mistaken in comparing the locations.

The ground based measurement for sensor P050 reports up-down displacement of -0.07 cm per year between 2017 and 2020.

It is difficult to determine the exact value from a shaded image, but the satellite data show that just to the West of this ground based measurement (about centered on Mont Belvieu), displacement was -1.91 to -0.85 cm per year between 2016 and 2020 (see figure 3b).

The arcgis site has useful data that could be used better compare trends for the same dates [1]. I did not look at every year, but it looks like 50+ ground based measurements per year. The study's methods are a bit beyond me, but section 3 describes processing a total of 89 Single Look Complex (SLC) images from 2016 to 2020. I could not find any mention of exact dates.

> "...led them to conclude that at the current OSHA regulatory standard for continuous 222 nm light exposure that you would see 90% viral inactivation at 8 minutes and 99% inactivation in about 16 minutes."

Something I learnt about disinfection protocols is that they're measured on a logarithmic scale, much like volume (decibels), earthquakes, etc...

So when you see marketing saying things like "kills 99.9% of germs", think of that as "strength 3" because it has three nines.

The article mentions strengths from 1 to 2, which is about as low as it gets and still have "some" effect.

Hospital grade disinfectants are more like 99.99% to 99.999% ("4" and "5" strength), for comparison. Autoclaves and the like can go to "12"!

This is because bacteria grow exponentially, so to remove "one doubling" time, you have to halve the numbers. To remove "two doublings", you have to quarter the numbers, and so forth. In other words, every unit of safety time you want to buy requires an exponential increase in disinfection.

Keep this in mind when shopping for cleaning products! The difference between "99%" and "99.9%" is just "one" doubling time, not a tenfold improvement.

Zuck hasn't.
I stopped drinking from 03/2013. I found the process has very few to do with alcohol itself. It'll a lot of communication with yourself.

1. Since you already asked for the approach, it's relative easy to persuade yourself that you want to cut it out altogether. Either because of you don't enjoy the foggy head or like me, stomach bugs. There could be no real reason at all. For the substance of alcohol, you might want to cut it out completely not because it's unhealthy, on the contrary, it might even be healthy. so what. the most important is your decision and determination to take back control.

2. get rid off all the alcohols at home but keep a couple of cans of beer in the refrigerator. make a sticker annotating the date and write down firmly and warmly that 'I don't need it. I quit drinking from 11/10/2022'. Look at them and tell yourself that 'I don't need it. bye beer.' close the refrigerator and tell yourself you're amazing. Do this every once a while.

there's a lot of time of weakness. It's hard mostly because people forget their decision, or not taking the decision seriously enough. sometimes, I need to sit down and tell myself that alcohol is a substance same as butter, good or bad, it doesn't matter any more since i don't need it. i decided to get rid of it from my life. if this worked for me, i will add another sticker telling myself that i success on 04/2013, 05/2013 .. how amazing i was! especially when the stickers piled up thick. the stickers also had some crazy things like 'damn you', 'bye dear bear' .. etc. i bet someone could write a app for it. but stickers on the can works perfectly.

The mind game worked for me. Eventually after a few years, I get rid off those old cans and stickers as well. during the time i can sit with my friends and watching them drinking beer. IF someone asked me to drink, I would tell them the same simple decision. I was a social drinker, quit drinking also endorsed me strong confidence to tell them my true thought - I am same good or even better without the cold beer. I will usually have iced water and chew the ice cubes if i have to drink something.

Honestly all my friends support me quite well. and didn't challenge me too often :D I would suggest that except for those two cans of cues, never get too close to cold beer before your mind wired with the unnecessary of booze.

Good luck!
