OP, a quick comment as I think many replies you are receiving are missing the forest for the trees.

We do not live in a meritocracy. For better or for worse, your "job performance" does not have a one-to-one relationship with how well you perform at your job.

Your "job performance" is based on how you are perceived by those reviewing you. If you have a disconnect between your work and how you are perceived, you probably need to improve how you market and present yourself. Consider this as just another part of investing in yourself.

Translating back into developer-centric jargon: the best technical solution isn't automatically the best. You need good marketing and product-market fit.
The linked debunking somehow manages to be even worse:

> The version with Linux, we call “GNU/Linux.” It is OK to call it “GNU” when you want to be really short, but it is better to call it “GNU/Linux” so as to give Torvalds some credit.
I don't think many people care what boot loader they have or what firmware they run. If you want something that always works, grub is a good standard to stick to. For everyone else there is the many options like this gummiboot integration, bare EFI, LILO, NTLDR, SYSLINUX and all the others.

Ironically, most linux installs are not using any of those because most installs aren't desktop installs; clouds usually don't have an emulated EFI stack at all, and embedded uses things like u-boot.
Yea I install the Asus GPU-Z and i was better and gave that it was using 90% of the whole GPU.
Windows just doesn't know how to count GPU usage apperntly.
I’m trying to understand your point here. Weakens the dollar, sure, to some degree. I’m not understanding the “billionaires will die without UBI” part though.

I can almost guarantee Nintendo did not use a downloaded ROM. I don’t have direct experience with how the ROMs are sourced, so it’s not 100%, but I worked on a team handling emulation at Nintendo and can say the processes are incredibly careful and strict.

The company is extremely micromanaged and pedantic, and this is not the kind of thing that could possibly be overlooked at Nintendo.
Aclima -- ONSITE -- San Francisco (Embarcadero) -- Full-stack( JS/Python) & Embedded (Python/ROS/Angstrom/BitBake)

keywords: Cleantech, clean air, climate, public good, civic, govtech, big data, data science

Hi folks! Aclima is scaling a distributed sensor grid which collects data about air quality. We are growing quickly, preparing to add new markets around the country, and need help in several problem domains.

For a full-stack role, you would be building internal tooling for data scientists, environmental scientists, hardware and operations folks, and machine learning/modeling experts to help them wrangle data and data collection operations.

For the embedded role, we are looking for a senior/lead person who can help shepherd a team and is familiar with running software on a distributed network of devices -- how to build and deploy updates, reliability best practices, how to run code on both embedded linux distros as well as custom STM32 boards running C++.

Hangouts data point(s): I was just on a conference call a few hours ago with 90+ participants on Hangouts. We've done these numbers routinely at work and we've never had a problem with it.

I dislike and don't trust videoconferencing apps that can't run in the browser, and Zoom goes the extra mile by requiring you to use their sketchy package installer. I'm really enjoying the scrutiny they're getting right now. They should just run in the browser without requiring installation.
I'd recommend trying a virtual board game hour (or two)!

My coworkers and I have played Carcassonne a few times on https://boardgamearena.com/. While playing the game, we have a group video call going to keep it social. (If you use this site, I'd recommend playing a few rounds by yourself to get accustomed to the UX which can be a bit cumbersome at the start. When you do it with your coworkers you can help explain some of the nuances in the site itself. The game has a 7 minute video explainer that does a great job explaining the rules of the game.)

Carcassonne can handle at most five people. For larger groups, a virtual game of Codenames can be fun: https://codenames.plus/.
France Is Paying Businesses Not to Lay Off Employees. Will It Work?
I suppose I hadn't made it to the proper test bucket when I installed Slack earlier this year.
What could go wrong... :)
Right. You would need to renounce the other citizenship if possible. If not possible, you would need to avoid using any privileges it might offer.
In the case, the doctors all go out with the masks as one and treat firing one as firing all of them.

Nice thing about unions, though, is with them it rarely reaches a point like that.
Look, I am just gonna say it a certain way: It is better now but there were long stretches in my life where the only in person human interaction I had was at work or at stores(until delivery apps became a thing) would have sucked big time if I did wfh then.

I also did wfh doing call support and now IT/infosec stuff. Night and day!

Team dynamics: not everyone can develop interpersonal relationships well when wfh compared do in person. Imagine being the new guy and have a million questions but your personality forces you to evaluate body language and greetings in person before you are comfortable approaching someone.

Oh, and.. Some people have terrible home situation. I don't mean just kids but sick people to care for, abusive people living with them,loud roommates,etc ....

WFH being the norm would suck,but companies should be much more accomodating these days.
I imagine some third party approached Sony with a "we'll do the work, take the risk, etc. You just give your blessing, tell us who do we need to contact for final approval to make sure the brand is being well represented, and where to send the royalty checks" kind of deal.
Listening to politicians debate this year has reminded me how most people's mental models of the world remain firmly stuck in the decades of their youth.
It's commonplace for original arcade and console game manufacturers to download ROMs from a ROM site and then send a C&D to that same site ordering it shut down. The company owns the rights to the ROM in the first place, and thus are the only party legally entitled to download it. Sure beats the cost of dumping it from an old cartridge themselves. (And no, for old video games there's no source repository. The original sources may be lost.)
I try to look directly at the camera when speaking rather than the image of the other person. Or if you position the laptop camera far enough away it matters less.
Before I say anything, it’s probably worth noting that I write it for a living. Is it bad that while I was reading this I felt like you might be talking about JS? Or are we talking much more broken?
I think the most important factor is what you're most comfortable with. In what language you can most easily just picture the right code in your mind without looking anything up or fiddling.

For me, right now, that's JavaScript. I feel like I know almost ever dark corner of the language and I can just open a file and start typing. This doesn't include, though, any part of the ecosystem that requires a build step unfortunately (TypeScript, webpack, JSX). That configuration step is always a huge speed bump when trying to rapidly prototype an idea.
At 6 GHz. This is super exciting. I have a huge backlog of fun wideband radio projects (radar, spread spectrum, etc.) that I've never been motivated enough to start because it would technically be illegal.
Hrm....and why do those state actors work against Venezuelas interest? Perhaps they have aligned themselves with other other oppressive global regimes which nationalize resources to be managed by friends and family rather than competitive enterprises? And who did that alignment? Yep, poorly run government.

That aside, their monetary policy has also been a train wreck from the 70's, and compounded with more bad decisions in the early 2000's. https://mises.org/wire/venezuelas-economic-collapse-was-enab...

Until they fix core issues in their central government/bank, they will continue to struggle in a global economy.
It seems like this could apply to pretty much every effected country.

We know the US has drastically under tested which again results in under reporting.
FYI: typo on your CV "CrossPacifc"
It's just weird then that they put a header originally defined by pirates, and now otherwise only used by third party emulators. Including matching the even more informal parts of the header byte for byte with the most common dump of the ROM on the high seas.
Yes, be careful when using ForwardAgent and, more importantly, avoid using it altogether unless you absolutely need to!

Most "use cases" I've come across could have been solved "better" by simply using ProxyCommand instead. That was apparently too hard, though, so use of agent forwarding continued.

Since the introduction of ProxyJump a while back, however, it's now even easier to avoid using agent forwarding in most -- but not all -- cases.

So yes, be careful when using agent forwarding but, more importantly, as much as possible, just avoid using it entirely unless you absolutely must!
What's the dissonance? By granting the public the rights to use more spectrum, one can imagine greater adoption and usage of the spectrum.
Lol, well they don't own the copyright of the header added by the original dumper in that case.

Fastmail (https://fastmail.com) | Frontend/Javascript | Melbourne AU | Onsite (eventually) | Full Time

We’re looking for an Email Client Application developer to join the Fastmail team in our Melbourne CBD office (after the restrictions lift - obviously we're all WFH right now!)

Together with the rest of our team, you’ll work on our email services Fastmail, Pobox, and Topicbox. When the vast majority of people get email for free, the reason people choose a paid service is because they value both privacy and a great user experience.

You’ll be working on our best-in-breed mail clients, providing super-fast, powerful access to webmail, calendars, contacts and more. You’ll work with our collaborative team of front- and back-end developers, designers and researchers. Improving our customers’ interactive experience, keeping it secure and a delight to use is what we do, every day.

Our interfaces are built upon our own Overture framework and the new email standard JMAP. It gives us full control from top to bottom to build the right solutions to difficult problems. If you’ve worked with other MVC application frameworks, like Apple’s Cocoa, you should find Overture easy to pick up.

You’ll have the opportunity to work at many levels:

* building features from scratch with our design and product teams

* optimizing and improving existing code

* tracking down and fixing elusive bugs reported by customers

There’s always an interesting new challenge to solve!

Check the full description at https://www.fastmail.com/about/jobs/2020-01-clientdev/

Email us at jobs@fastmail.com to introduce yourself and tell us why you would be a good fit for the job! This job requires clear communication, so that message is part of your application, but please also include a PDF of your resume.

I notice all the jobs on the jobs board show onsite. Which ones are remote?
I just want to say that some of the most fun I’ve ever had on the PC has been in a SNES emulator. The sheer variety, depth, hours of content, ease of accessibility, and great music has been nearly unmatched on most other platforms.

I highly recommend anyone with an interest in games to grab a bunch of ROM packs (including Japanese exclusive games and fan translation hacks) and spend some of your quarantine on the SNES.
I'm not really sure this helps. There is still the puzzle about how the updating of beliefs at some indefinite time in the future causes the collapse of a wavefunction involving photons that have fled the scene at the speed of light, for instance. It usually takes some ridiculously hard experimentation to support a new theory about fundamental quantum phenomena.
And who provides the neutral informed accessible information? and there's the rub with modern society. No one could possibly be expected to be an expert in every field and sub field.
For families of people without eyes, apparently.
Lazyweb question here as I've only marginally followed this issue - are most of the reported security problems (obviously bar the lack of end-end encryption) obviated by using the web app?

It's a tongue-in-cheek statement to highlight the absurdity of giving money to everyone especially the affluent. Clearly, issuance of new currency must be done decisively, the point is that billionaires do not need UBI and therefore it should not be "universal." Giving money to all without "means testing" increasing the cost of the program by about 2x and reduces the benefit to the people intended to benefit. It does not delete the income inequality gap, but would simply displace it vertically without affecting the endpoints if everyone got an equal sum.
I’ve seen Sigur Ros live twice. The first time was great, but the venue wasn’t very good. The second time was at the Fox Theater in Atlanta a few years ago. To say it was a powerful experience is a huge understatement. Those guys somehow channel something much larger than themselves. There are really no words to describe it.
I completely agree that it should never be part of Wireguard itself. Mostly looking forward to the project and tooling ecosystem that develops around it.

Alpine Linux and many other distros use musl and busybox (non GNU projects, although busybox is GPL).

And I would definitely call them Unix systems, since they run almost all the same software.

Although GCC is still a good argument, since very few distros use Clang by default, I think mostly because of the Linux kernel.

The gallery view in other videoconf platforms doesn't even compare. I've had flawless experiences with 12-16 people, all in a grid across my screen. Every other system I've used had some version of rotating people in/out when there are more than 4 people. Was a night and day experience.

I'm using Algo right now and it's perfect if I plan to maintain the same server consistently. The problem is that we're constantly traveling around and latency suffers when trying to connect to a box in DO's NYC3 from Vietnam.

It's a huge hassle to take that box down, spin up a new instance in Singapore, distribute profiles and authenticate. This is neither Algo nor Wireguard's fault. I just wish we had some more tooling to make it easier to move between instances.
IIRC, not just a alternative, but a full super-set.

I think fears are overstated and used as a pretense to sell off spectrum to private entities, which can provide private investors a handsome reward for their monopoly on the spectrum. Consider "junk" unlicensed WiFi spectrum (i.e. 2.4ghz). Normally private owners would argue, "We can't allow anyone to broadcast, it'll be overcrowded. We need a gatekeeper to solve this." In reality, yes it can be overcrowded in dense areas, so packets still get sent, but at a lower rate. This creates demand and people start gravitating to less crowded, unlicensed spectrum (i.e. 5.2ghz) for crowded indoor use scenario. It's more bandwidth and better attenuation with your neighbors. Consumer radios are also certified to only produce so much power on the spectrum which adds additional safeguards. So the free market and a dash of radio certification/regulation ends up providing an efficient decentralized communication medium.

With other shared mediums, we police the spectrum (e.g. light, sound, etc...). If a user starts blasting out FM, or too much 2.4gz and so on, it can be detected, traced and prosecuted. It's 2020, we don't need FM, we need high speed IPv6 radios and improved routing tables/algorithms. Lift FM channels into the digital realm and let's get on with it.
Underrated game. It’s well made, and I’ll binge on it for a day or so 2-3x a year.
Can’t say I’ve ever seen the “any” keyword in C++ before

There's still plenty of things which don't work with Wayland. And even Gnome Shell, which perhaps has the best support for Wayland, doesn't work very well with Wayland on some of my machines (Gnome Shell is extremely slow and jerky at least on my one machine if I try to run it with Wayland).
Nintendo consoles seem to always have the best emulators, likely due to being almost all exclusive games. Every nintendo console recently has had a working emulator before the end of the consoles life. I remember nintendo ds emulators adding support for games that had only just come out.
Agreed. This could likely be accomplished with a single tweet even. We might have 40% compliance overnight.

Why is this not being broadcast from all possible media outlets? “Stay at home. If you just absolutely go out, wear a mask.” It’s really that simple.

If I were behaving like an utter jackass, you would certainly know it.

If you can't deal with somebody talking honestly about what you're publicly admitting to doing, I can't help you with that. Spam's spam. You contempt for the people you spam is blatant. And you're quite clear about your motivation, which is pecuniary.

You're only upset because you're not honest with yourself about it, like the people who eat meat but get upset when people are frank that it comes from killing perfectly nice animals. Half my family has done sales, so I'm familiar with it, and I totally accept the necessity of it for many modern businesses, including ones I've worked at. But that doesn't mean I can't see that the goal is to manipulate people into making decisions they wouldn't make on their own.

P.S. Don't assume nobody knows anything about you or your company when you have your company email address in your bio.

It's refreshing to see the $0.99 app deal again. No subscription nonsense.

For time tracking, the best method I've found so far is just to use the Calendar app. I have a different calendar for each task type (meeting, development, project management, etc.) I put in the person or client/project in the event title, and use the notes field for details. It's quick and easy to edit time blocks by creating a new event and resizing it as needed. Visualization of how I'm spending my time in the weekly or monthly views is intuitive. Automatically syncs with all my devices.

No timers though, although admittedly I frequently forget to stop those anyway.
