Don’t give them any ideas, I really wouldn’t be surprised at a boomer choosing to entomb themselves with their wealth rather than passing it on.

If I had to guess 90% of people these days can barely figure out how to torrent, at best they could figure out how to get to online streaming sites.

If you’re not that worried about storage then you can just make copies if necessary, then you don’t really have to worry about permissions (apart from read, which is typically default for the same group). But yea if there’s any chance more than 1 person might work off the same copy of data on HPC, make it read only for the peace of mind. Regarding conda envs, yea I have a few common read only conda environments so that scripts can be used by multiple users without the hassle of ensuring everyone has the same env. Quite useful.

I’m in a similar position as you. Our lab has a partition on HPC but i need a way to quasi-administrate other lab members without truly having root access. What I found works is to have a shared bashrc script (which also contains useful common aliases and env variables) and get all your users to source it (in their own bashrc files). Set the umask within the shared bashrc file. Set certain folders to read only (for common references, e.g. genomes) if you don’t want people messing with shares resources. However, I’ve found that it’s only worth trying to admin shared resources and large datasets, otherwise let everyone junk their home folder with their own analyses. If the home folder is size limited, create a user’s folder in the scratch partition and let people store their junk there however they want. Just routinely check that nobody is abusing your storage quota.

EDIT: absolutely under no circumstances give people write access to raw shared data on hpc. I guarantee some idiot will edit it and mess it up for everyone. If people need to rename files they can learn how to symlink them.

I use Dropbox too. Though I have to admit, when running code you sometimes have to pause sync otherwise it interferes with code execution. But definitely worth the peace of mind. Sometimes you don’t want to commit stuff until you’re sure that it works.

It’s significantly more accessible than trying to sync bookmarks with an Ereader’s shitty browser

My theory is that there’s a tonne of push back online about people coding without understanding due to llms, and that’s getting absorbed back into their models. So these lines of response are starting to percolate back out the llms which is interesting.

Lmao, when have age checks worked on any site ever

Yea it’s way too optimistic to presume these companies will not lash out in their death throes. They’d destroy as much as possible on their way out.

They probably eventually plan to bring back forced labour. They ‘deport’ people, and when that’s too arduous, they’ll round them up in camps and make them work their ‘sentence’.

I don’t think they actually stupid enough to deport their low wage vulnerable workforce when they can just further exploit them.

Huh, I figured induction would be cheaper.

Do you have induction hobs or traditional electric?

R and tidyverse is really amazing, the syntax is so natural I rarely need to check the docs on anything to quickly do basic data transformation/plotting. Definitely more intuitive than pandas (and I learnt that first).

It’s white phosphorus if I’m not wrong. Used for ‘spotting targets’ aka committing war crimes.

RSS is in no way simple to regular normies.

Man I love factorio’s art, had no idea people thought it was bad. Maybe at release. But there’s alot of attention to detail in the sprites, even the trees sway gently in the breeze. You don’t see that often in other games of a similar style.

Sure, easing into a deflating population over several hundred years is fine but tanking it and ending up with a society having to support a vastly older population ain’t easy either. Better for governments to provide positive reasons to have children but there’s zero chance of that.
