Uber is worldwide - I’ve used it on 4 continents. I actually signed up for it when in South Africa. Considering they sold their business to Grab, I think you could safely say Uber+Grab are as close to a global service as you can get, and pr

I've been thinking a lot about this one, and it gets a ton of help in the fact that Bill Hader is actually good at facial impressions, and that's what really sells it.

you can gradually type (probably don't use --strict in that case). It might not be a ton of benefit if you aren't actually writing new code though. There's a good document on this: https://mypy.readthedocs.io/

I'd like to see an MFA-version of Kerberos/kinit, and a PAM module that checks for ticket revocation on login. That's not so different from BeyondCorp and Uber's model. Alternatively, some kind of OpenID Connect init (oi

A workflow language is only as good as it’s engine. Nextflow was mentioned. I think what most people want is probably closer to Airflow, although it takes some time getting it up to production in a cloud environment (there is astronomer.io

Sites hosted behind cloudflare have been down for me for 8 days now. It seems like there’s something up with TLS connections. As a user, there is no easy recourse. I had to create an account on dash.cloudflare.com, which I was able to do af

Most my adult life I’ve used Ivory (usually bars), or Dr Bronners (liquid) with a handful of other things at random. The only wash I like besides those would be the Kiehl’s Musk wash, but I’m slightly interested in abandoning soap altogethe

they could always admit their ratios are way off, fire everybody, and create 10 new backend job applications - 5 of which will go to men and 5 to women, so that way their hiring is more fair to both men and women. ... Or the could do it the

I can't really image 11 ppb is significant for glyphosate. That's below the historic 20 ppb threshold for lead . I'm not sure where the .1 ppb study comes from, it'd be interesting. Edit: The .1 ppb comes from https:&#

I have a 2017 GTI and it has a dial you can use to cycle through things but it’s not ideal. Certain things are useless though, like the keyboard for maps, but you can use voice control there. I do like the VW implementation. There’s still l

This is endemic to many CERN projects, even things that are often open source are behind a login. Or - the source (or export of it from CERN's GitLab) will be available, but documentation is behind a login page.

Normally they name telescopes once they are on orbit and working, because they don’t want to put a name on something and have it fail. The joke with JWST is that it’s not allowed to fail.
