The poster is talking about when you do something like this: `git checkout .` That wipes out all unstaged changes on tracked files in the current directory

I use Linux Mint with airpods no problem -- what are you running into? Are you just trying to pair and use as audio sync or also read battery levels?

My strategy is just to keep the yaml to a minimum and call python scripts within the action to do anything complicated. The GHA yaml is just used for defining when the action runs, and on what architectures, etc. It's worked well for me.

> Fuck common core and the entire privileged shitshow of East Coast math professor elites that came up with this crap.

You think math professors set the elementary school math curriculum?

How do you know times have changed?

I was explaining the view of the governing bodies in Canada.

> Yes, there are a lot of "developers". But there are also software engineers, even if our engineering craft is less-well developed by the standards of civil engineering or mechanical engineering. I understand engineering organizations (like those in Canada) who oppose the use of the term "software engineer" because there's no common code of practice or standards in the same way that those who wear the iron ring claim is incorrect

Just to clarify, there's no issue in Canada with "software engineer" specifically. "Engineer" is the protected term, and you have to be licensed to use it. So the issue applies to calling yourself any kind of engineer without being licensed.

If you are a licensed professional engineer in the software field, you can refer to yourself as a software engineer. This is just uncommon because there are not a lot of programs that grant BEng in software, the licensing is rarely relevant, and most people take CS anyway.

It's all in the papers, this is just a press release. See references here: https://histotripsy.umich.edu/

The sample means approach the normal distribution as the sample size grows, even if the underlying distributions are not normal. That's the the central limit theorem.

(Requires some very lax assumptions like finite variance on the underlying distribution)

> A lot of people (not me) did believe there was going to be a return to normal post-covid, and the increasingly obvious impossibility of this is causing people to have tremendous mental health problems

What is not normal in your opinion at this point? Covid still exists as another illness that goes around, but from my point of view everything else has been back to normal for quite a while.

That isn't the home page for Stata, that is a page put up by Reed about where to find Stata on their computers. Go to stata.com

I'm genuinely curious how an hour-long YouTube video, meticulously researched, scripted and animated feels like tiktok to you.

The production value on those videos is really high. They are information dense and the creator goes out of his way not to sensationalize.

Air speed is relative to the air around the plane, not the ground.

"Keep your stick on the ice" isn't a rule; it's a folksy saying that means "pay attention". Slapshots are very much allowed in ice hockey!

> In how many G20 members does the average person make significant, regular use of non-metric measurements in their daily life? To the best of my knowledge, the answer is "only two" (US and UK), and for the US that usage is significantly more than the UK.

Canada as well. Usually I'd assume no one cares but you did say G20.

As far as I know all modern full-size pickup trucks are still frame-on-body, and most have solid rear axles.

(In the mid/small size there's some unibody options like the Honda Ridgeline but that's nothing new. It's just a different type of vehicle, not something that's obsoleted a traditional truck.)

The police can still carry guns. Their drones cannot.

You're kidding? That's opposite to the spirit of engineering.

I guessed this was about Strang just from the title! I hadn't heard about his retirement.

Ironic comment considering world population is 8 billion

>While Linux support for old hardware tends to be great, lately various kinds of Linux support are suffering in some ways, as higher percentages of software techies are now using Macs and MS Windows.

Any examples or evidence of this? Seems easier than me than ever to use Linux with all kinds of hardware

In Vancouver you can just pay directly with your credit card or debit card (or google wallet, apple pay, whatever). No loading of a separate account. It's really handy if you're just visiting.

> Those people already left Google to use DDG. Where are they going to go now?

Back to Google?

You're talking past one another. The other poster is discussing a correspondence between N and S, where S is the set of squares. So the function being discussed is f: N -> S, f(n) = n^2, which is obviously bijective.

You seem to be talking about the function f: N -> N, which isn't surjective, but I don't see the relevance. Any surjective function can be made non-surjective by considering a larger range.

What I mean is, the radio listeners are not relevant to a new musician in 2023.

I can't imagine radio is relevant at all to an up and coming musician at this point.

You want Linux Mint.

The joke is not at the expense of Asians, it is satirizing how Asians can be discriminated against in admissions

Article is too light on details to discuss much but for anyone interested in this issue I highly recommend the podcast "The Outlaw Ocean". While it's not solely focused on ecological issues, the general theme is that enforcement of any laws or treaties in international waters is very difficult. Out of 7 episodes at least 2 or 3 are focused on illegal fishing.

According to TFA, maternal mortality rate is double in the US compared to the UK. That both countries also have poorer outcomes for black mothers doesn't change the disparity between the two countries.
