> Interestingly, you can give it lots of different kinds of file descriptors (pipes, FIFOs, sockets, POSIX message queues, inotify instances, devices, & more), but not regular files. I think this makes sense – pipes & sockets have a pretty simple API (one process writes to the pipe, and another process reads!), so it makes sense to say “this pipe has new data for reading”. But files are weird! You can write to the middle of a file! So it doesn’t really make sense to say “there’s new data available for reading in this file”.

And yet kqueue and IO completion ports do support regular disk files [1]. It's true that epoll's model doesn't make sense in the context of disk files, but doesn't mean that you can't do asynchronous notification on disk files, it means that its model isn't general enough.

Your question re point C is a good one. Some might call it inhumane, but the reason everyone directly involved consents is that the workers have it much better doing this work than their alternatives back home. So is it more humane to take away the better job?

Also along this line of questioning, is it reasonable to call them slaves because they choose a job that others find inhumane but is much better than what they had before?

My children (3 and 5) goes to a "nature kindergarten". We live in Denmark. Basically they are not inside if possible. They have a rather large building with rooms for each team, kitchens and whatever you would expect, but they use it as little as possible. Outside, the weather is taken into consideration, so even if it rains, they can play outside without getting wet, if that is what they want (the kids are encouraged to play in the rain), and if it's crazy hot and the sun is baking, they can play outside in the numerous locations setup for shade. They almost always eat their 3 lunchboxes outside. In the winter season, there is a bonfire every morning for warmth and hygge. The key to this kind of kindergarten is enough of the right kind of clothes and footwear. There is even a big forrest inside the kindergarten perimeter with trees they climb and holes they've dug. My children absolutely loves it!

In the UK the low end of website design has been eaten up by the DIY web-builders (eg Wix). Usually you can tell, because of the inferior (!) design the small companies that aren't using such tools - often they appear to be using "bedroom companies".

When you get up to a reasonable price then IMO you can't expect to get a good enough product from a singleton worker any more (I used to do some full-stack web design/dev). Sure the design could be great, what about the back-end security, what about the optimisation, what about the SEO, social media promotion/interop, ...

Even just a couple of years has changed this market considerably.

That said small businesses don't always know about the advances, so you can probably still get work.

I downvoted your comment (which I do rarely) and would like to offer an explanation.

You're having a conversation about immigration, in a thread that talked explicitly about illegal immigration. But you decide to conflate the two, and start talking about "immigrants" without specifying whether you're talking about illegal or legal ones.

In my opinion, this lowers the level of conversation, regardless of your political views. Please, don't do that.

In Germany, only Deutsche Telekom (and resellers such as Congstar) supports IPv6 on mobile (for both prepaid and postpaid). And it works great, even when tethering.

Since you're from the UK, I suppose you are a Vodafone customer and therefore roaming in the Vodafone network in Germany (which does not support IPv6 yet).

On some networks/devices you might have to enable IPv6 explicitly, by setting the APN to IPv4/IPv6.

In Singapore, Singtel seems to be the only provider that supports IPv6. Unfortunately only for postpaid plans.

I was recently the victim of a random assault. Police refused to come to the scene ("no patrols were available"). The nearest police station was closed ("it was too late"). The second nearest police station was all but abandoned, so I had to wait around for 45 minutes. When a policeman did show up to take my statement, he was uninterested and spent most of his time avoiding my gaze. After the statement was done, he told me not to bother pressing charges because no one had the time to look at the camera footage in the area.
If you want to get paid, you have to make stuff people want. When I moved into tech from language teaching, I focused on JS, specifically Backbone.js and CoffeScript. I wasn't specifically interested in front-end work but I did it because that was what people wanted to hire for. After getting some experience and some money, it became much easier to transition to adjacent roles.

It might take you a couple of hops to get there, but I think the fastest way would be to limit yourself to what people want to hire for and then pick the one closest to your interests, excel for a year or two and then use that professional capital to pivot closer to what you're really interested in.

You have an interesting point here. Personally I do sometimes wonder if sci-fi movies depicting space travel don't make people feel it's much closer a reality than it really is, thus making them care less for our planet because "if shit hits the fan, we'll surely find another one".

That said, the current crop of space entrepreneurs seem to care more about long-term survival of our species in case of cataclysmic events not necessarily of human making - e.g. asteroid impacts.

Off the top of my head, any app involving directions – public transport, say – can reasonably use precise coordinates. Uber is also a reasonable use-case (when you want it to use that data) given the density of some city streets. Then there are location-sharing apps generally, or apps where you want to check in to locations (maybe a bit fuzzier, but there could be a lot of taggable locations within say 500m), or camera applications, or geocaching, or…

It's great to have control, and it would be even better if we were able to specify the accuracy an app is able to achieve. But there are obviously some reasonable use-cases for both foreground and background tracking.

A computer receives user preferences. The computer receives a document, wherein the document includes an image. The computer determines that the image contains embedded text. The computer determines that the embedded text does not satisfy the received user preferences. The computer modifies the embedded text to satisfy user preferences.

Is this stuff actually enforceable? As in, could I, with adequate legal sources, actually get companies and individuals to pay me money for something as generic as "Text resizing within an embedded image", without actually implementing it (whether it be stand-alone code or within some sort of application)? Is Apple shelling out cash to IBM for the privilege of autoresizing labels?

It depends on what your deployment system is; it's not always trivial to just change the target git origin to a new server.

This seems to be a fundamental weakness in whatever deployment system is used, then. Relying on a single point of failure outside of your organisation's own control for anything critical is always risky, and in this case it seems to be entirely avoidable.
Of course they don't have a say unless they have a legal residency according to the new laws. But, afaik, those have not been drawn up, there is no consensus of how the situation will be handled and I would expect the status of foreign EU citizens in the UK to be one of the major points in the upcoming negotiations between UK and EU.

Unless, of course, you know something the rest of the EU does not yet know?

IIRC what my mother said, sixty years ago high schools let students attend half days so they could do seasonal farm labor. That seems like something that could be re-instituted in areas that need seasonal farm labor.
It is not just the US having this problem. We have same situation in South Africa. Currently, majority of waiters and farm labourers are illegal immigrants from our unfortunate neighbouring countries who are experiencing political challenges. I doubt even the poorest locals will even want to work for what these illegal immigrants are working for. There is no political will to end this modern day slavery because it is profitable and making things cheaper. Cheaper to those using them because the benefits are not trickling down to the consumer.

From time to time, there will be xenophobic attacks because of this problem and scores of illegal immigrants will be killed. For over 10 years now, the problem is still there and no political will to solve it. In turn, we decided to make our borders porous. Allowing them to get in. We do deport them from time to time, only for them to come back. Problem is that not every illegal immigrant is here to work for peanuts. Some come to conduct the business of crime. Which is a bigger problem than someone stealing jobs locals aren't interested in doing.

I am starting to believe that the whole capitalism system thrives on slavery of some sort. Cheap labour results in good profit.

The argument that they should come to the US, because farming jobs are there, is a bit circular.

If the US suddenly loses a lot of cheap labour, that means some other country gains it, and can run farms using it, exporting the produce to the US. I.e., the jobs can move.
I think the US should have a more generous immigration policy and actually let people in to the society in an easier way.

However, isn't undocumented just another word for illegal? At least that is what it means in my country. If a person is breaking the law and is being in a country even if they're not allowed maybe they just have to suit themselves?
To me the worse problem is: While I can understand that it is an inconvenient situation to be poor (and I have some kind of compassion for them), I really cannot understand how one could even come to the idea to give rise to children if one is not in a high quantile of earning. If people applied this reproduction strategy consequently, poverty would simply die out.
First thing I thought of as well. I think it's hilarious but I imagine someone will eventually have a problem with it.

Or at least documented migrants. There is a visa for seasonal agricultural work already. But that also means having to pay a fee, not abusing the workers, probably paying taxes and so on
So why did the U.S. sign the Mexican Farm Labor Agreement in 1942? The Migrant Labor Agreement of 1951? Why did the UFW hold protests at the U.S. border in 1969-1973? Why did the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 specifically address agricultural workers?

Importing large numbers of foreign workers, migrant or otherwise, has been the backbone of the agricultural labor market in the U.S. since the country was founded. It's not necessarily a good thing, just not a recent thing by any means.

To me, far more likely is that locally grown food would be displaced by food grown in lower cost countries. That already happens to quite a degree in the UK, but it's mainly to make things available "out of season" from what I've seen.

A significant hike in UK grown food costs, would just lead to more being imported, unless of course you start going down the line of more import tariffs which is of course possible but tends to have other consequences in terms of things like trade wars and reciprocal tariffs on UK produced goods.

Of course you could eschew tariff protection and allow food production to move to other countries, but that in itself has potentially serious consequences as a trade war or some kind of event which disrupts supply from those other countries could endanger the food security of your country...

If you were indeed at the mercy of needing strangers to rescue you, a passing party or a rescue party would need to change their plans and retreat with you, which would only really be a good call if your life were at risk otherwise.

yeah, you can, it's called hitchhiking. it's not very common; but it has be done, Lynn Hill talks about it in her autobiography. if the climber hitchhiking is good enough, the new party will be faster in the end.
