I don’t think this article makes the right comparison to determine whether people switch jobs more often “these days”. They only go back to the mid 2000s. When I hear or talk about the idea that people change jobs more frequently now, I def

> I don't know of any easier equivalent of "awk '{ print $2 }'" for what it does. Does `cut -f2` not work? My complaint with cut is that you can't reorder columns (e.g. `cut -f3,2` ) Awk is really great for

Seconding ncdu! The interface is great, and I like that it’s modular so you can run the disk usage component as a cronjob and then have a nightly snapshot readily accessible

This is a good summary, and I can follow up on a couple points. (I don’t have direct experience with Crispr data, but I’m currently a PhD student in a computational genomics program, and have 4 years of experience in a lab that does crispr

You asked how an unbranded SD card can be fake, and they explained. I think the "reference point for a true item" would be an SD card with the advertised amount of storage, regardless of branding.
