> Btw it’s called UTC (Universal Time Coordinated? huh?) because the same folks who publish UTC also publish UT1, which is UTC sans the leap seconds.
I’m not sure that’s right! According to legend among metrologists I’ve talked to, “UTC” was chosen as a compromise candidate: it makes sense as an acronym in neither English nor French.

Nice paper! Just curious, do you reckon you could generalise the finding to a broader class of state-space models, e.g. particle filters?

This is neat! On this topic, an interesting and pretty comprehensive guide to money / time / effort / quality tradeoffs in food is "Make the Bread, Buy the Butter" by Jennifer Reese.

> Nearly every element [of an airplane seat] undergoes a safety-enhancing process called “delethalization”: seats have to withstand an impact equal to sixteen times the force of gravity [and many other constraints] .... Largely as a result, in-flight entertainment systems are almost unbelievably expensive. The rule of thumb, I was told, is “a thousand dollars an inch”—meaning that the small screen in the back of each economy seat can cost an airline ten thousand dollars, plus a few thousand for its handheld controller.

Thank you to everybody who commented! The suggestions to use something more sensible than a oneliner (and to post on Stack instead) are well taken. A big motivation of this project was "just because", for shits and giggles, so I hope it's amused you for a minute or two. Cheers!

Yes, it takes care of that; if someone has retweeted you with a comment, the thing they're commenting on is replaced with "This tweet is no longer available." (Obviously, it's no defence against people screenshotting your tweet, manually copy-pasting what you said, etc etc.)
Ask HN: How would you improve this bash oneliner for deleting tweets?
Many people use tweet deletion services, which periodically remove everything from their Twitter timeline; I wondered if it could be done from a Bash command line.I wrote up my experiences as an explainer for nontechnical people: https://jamiehall.cc/2020/03/10/delete-all-your-tweets-with-...TL;DR, here is the oneliner I've been using: $ twurl...
