Who is the target user for this? All video editing happens within the TikTok app nowadays.

Maybe Youtubers, as soon as you want to do something barely elaborate. Sometimes free tools don’t benefit the user, but their audience ;)

:D I have been on the receiving end enough times that I am very very happy to have passed it on this time.

Is there a shortcut to reuse the result of the last command? “which java => ll $(!!)”, but the “!!” reexecutes the last command, I’d like something which doesn’t.

I always forget the "version" switch. Is it '-v' or '--version' or '-version', everything's just a bit different and I can never remember what needs what to tell me its version.

[edited to add] As others have reminded me, there's also simply 'version'

laurent92 · 4 years ago
Everything uses --version, except `java -version`.

Except Java 17. Java 17 went to `java --version`. And `java -version` doesn’t work anymore (Yes I jumped from Java 8 to 17, but most people did).

I worked at a company that self hosted Jira, and it was miserable then, I can’t imagine depending on the cloud. I’ll never approve Atlassian products after that experience.

How many tickets do you have in your non-Jira ticketing system? I count 100 tickets per person per year.

There are two ways this can go:

1) This outage will get their organization to prioritize work such that it never happens again.

2) This outage is representative of a dysfunctional organization that can't prioritize work correctly.

If you've been using Atlassian software for a while and are used to how they prioritize tickets then one of those options seems far more likely than the other.

It has already happened in the past.

I bet they screwed up royally, deleted some data and are down to either rebuilding it from logs, caches or other side-effects, or using data recovery software on the storage drives (which might involve third-party companies). I can't see many other reasons why this should take 2 weeks.

Let me bet: Rebuilding from Jira email notifications. Yes, the diffs in the notifications.

Their vaccination rate among elderly is quite low, their vaccine isn't as good as the main Western vaccines, and their hospital system in rural areas isn't very good. If/when COVID runs rampant they will have a lot of deaths. That's a particularly big problem given the upcoming Party congress where Xi will be crowned as dictator-for-life.
laurent92 · 4 years ago
When is the Party congress? Can it happen that, after the congress, they let the Covid run rampant, to get rid of the elderly and have better figures for a few years after that?

Everyone here is commenting on Covid, vaccines, social policy and whatnot.

I can't help but see a different, bigger and human story here.

It's about how the systems people erect around themselves turn against them. Gated communities whose guards become jailers. Convenient fast food delivery systems that become tools of rationing and siege. News and communications systems turned to propaganda and social control.

Meanwhile the only good vibe in here is the person-to-person charity and sharing that occurs amongst the "prisoners".

We should look at this and learn a very important lesson as technologists.

Let’s take time to discuss this, as it’s easier to discuss when it happens to another country with an entirely different social system.

I was surprised, last year, that techniques we were condescending about, and saying it only happens in China, were applied in Europe and USA. As if it was an emergent property of a human group facing a new disease.

Yup, and coincidentally there's basically no plan whatsoever to either move offices out of downtown or significantly improve transit options into downtown.

Isn’t that because there is a 400-year tsunami of 60m high, and they’re trying to de-densify?

I assume this was done with a FPV piloted drone. I just got into FPV flying and this was pretty impressive! My stomach lurched a few times recalling times I've tried to squeeze into tight spaces only to drift where I shouldn't be.

Aren’t they using 3D? inside the first machine for example, a human can’t monitor, and the pieces falling off seem to have lunar gravity.
