The answer, at least for Linux, was always to just use the pre-existing copy_file_range syscall. Patching GNU coreutils' cp(1) utility took less effort than either the LWN summary or the presentation it summarized: https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/commit/4b04a0c3

Alas, we live in an age where more engineers blog about open source software than actually contribute code :(

But even worse is that major corporate users like Amazon simply decided to write corporate coding policies instead of addressing the underlying issue with some simple patches.

Though, to be fair, it's not always easy--I was unable to cut through the noise on the netfilter mailing-list to get attention for a patch to fix a bug in the iptables utility. And a bug report with extensive analysis (that took days) which resulted in a fix to Ubuntu's Python + FIPS-compliant OpenSSL was regressed just a few months later :( I've been too busy to file another bug report because my company doesn't actually allot time for such fixes, either. In both cases I put in evening hours to try to fix the issue upstream, but those opportunities have been exceedingly scarce of late.
Every job gets dull over time, and we try to look for something new that is normal and will happen everywhere. You are in a unique situation at maybe the peak of compensation software devs will get (maybe not, who knows).

You could be set for life if you stay another couple of years. This is huge. You can start as many companies as you want after that.

I would grind it out and be set for life after and look for challenges outside work. Run an ultramarathon or learn to play the piano or whatever.
ADHD is tough to understand and appreciate for those who don't have it for this exact reason. Everyone experiences all most of the ADHD (except the interal chatter arising from your Default Mode Network / Task Positive Network anti-correlation being broken), so they often dismiss it or say "but everyone has a little ADHD" or "everyone feels that way".

The difference is in frequency, severity and duration.

In my case I've spent north of 1000 nights in the past 5 years doing the dishes at either 1am, 2am or 3am because I cannot stop doing what I want to do and direct my attention towards the dishes until it's the absolute last possible minute of the day. Often then it's just so painful to me to do it. It nearly caused my marriage to break down because I would leave them undone. No matter what I try I can't get myself to do them straight after dinner. Night after night I would wonder to myself "I wish I knew what this was called". I didn't seriously think there was something wrong with me, I just couldn't understand why I couldn't , despite my best efforts, get myself to behave in a different way.

And that's just one facet of my life and how it affects me. There's more and they just pile up. When you add it all up together and you consider pound for pound how I'm doing you start to appreciate the frequency, severity and duration that can be considered pathological.

It presents pretty differently across people, but by and large a diagnosis is a huge penny dropping revelation.
Italian here: the part where the author says "Espresso + milk is clearly popular.. and Italians often have espresso with lemon." the latter is not really true.

The only person I have ever seen drinking espresso with lemon was my grandfather, who did that when he had some sort stomach problem (his theory was that this would help him get better).

So it was something more like a hangover remedy, but not a real "recipe". And in any case, I never saw anyone else doing it - neither in my family or among any other person I know.

I wanted to be sure, so I just googled before writing this (it would be "caffè e limone" in Italian): it is always described only as a cure for headache.

Ricotta and coffee could work, but it is a bit of a stretch saying that "ricotta=milk+lemon"... you can make something (called "Cagliata") close to ricotta at home with milk and lemon, but real ricotta is prepared in a different way.

The problem isn't so much the wick itself but the concentration increase of salts over time as water-soluble chemicals are introduced at seemingly small levels each time. I suppose with proper monitoring it can be managed, but doesn't seem like the ticket in a non-flushing system.

It's ridiculous we're trying to prevent three letter agencies to track us directly, but we then install all sorts of apps that could get the same information via apps from some 3rd party shell companies set up or funded by those agencies.
The life was better then.

Things are better and worse. It is probably impossible to calculate the net difference, but I'd highlight things like the legalization of gay marriage, the decline in violent crime, and the dissolution of the Soviet Union as improvements. I don't discount the better toys either.
Some form of Western precedent for the mashed potato sub can be found in the Swedish fast food classic "tunnbrödsrulle". It's a flatbread wrap with mashed potatoes and hot dogs served with condiments like shrimp salad, pickle relish, roasted onions and of course ketchup and mustard.

> Kelly wrote to Sale on New Year’s Day, instructing him to direct the $1,000 to Heifer International, a nonprofit that gives away breeding pairs of animals. Sale puzzled him by replying, “I didn’t lose the bet.” Kelly assumed he hadn’t seen Patrick’s decision, and he had the editor resend it.

> But Sale had read it—and rejected it.

> “I cannot accept that I lost,” he wrote to Patrick. “The clear trajectory of disasters shows that the world is much closer to my prediction. So clearly it cannot be said that Kevin won.”

> Like the raging denialist in the White House, the cantankerous anarchocommunalist has quit the game after the final score left him short. Sale says he is seeking some sort of appellate relief, if only by public opinion, when in fact the rules included no such reconsideration. Kelly is infuriated. “This was a gentleman’s bet, and he can only be classified as a cad,” he says.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but this Sale fellow sounds like an asshole.

Arguably, Google already had a strong and successful platform in mobile gaming (Google Play Games). It's even present on TV these days, with game controllers too (Google TV Chromecast takes bluetooth game controllers with which one can play a range of made-for-TV-screen Android games). I'm not sure why they didn't grow that to support server side rendering instead of starting a platform from scratch for which they were obviously unable to get enough content commitments (not even talking about exclusives here, there just isn't even enough non-exclusive content).
What Are X-Macros?
That was to be expected, Google definitely has no idea how to talk with game studios.

Every time they do talks, it is all about KPI, Play console and user acquisition (marketing), almost never about SDKs, rendering techniques, tools, anything that what Intel, AMD, ARM, Apple, Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo regularly do at GDC and their own conferences.

Looking for a Junior Frontend Developer position.
This is great. I keep coming back to plain text when I fall out with other tools. I use it for daily logs and journals. I also use it for five-star ratings: books, albums, and daily performance reviews (e.g. ●●●◍◌ as indicating 3.5 stars). Works well for me.
Also, if the site is based on WordPress, the API is often open for read-only access, so you can fetch richer information and you won’t have to parse the full HTML document to get the content in question.

I'm interested in applying for a junior embedded software engineer position. I'll be graduating from college in the beginning of May, but have experience with embedded development both from class projects as well as stuff I've done in my free time, so I think I would be qualified for a junior position. And Zipline seems like a company that I want to work at.

But there aren't any junior roles listed on the careers page. Should I just submit an application for the Senior Embedded Systems Software Engineer position and mention this?
Yup, locking the table is off the table so to speak, heh. Will take a look, thanks.

In Linux, the system call interface is stable (on any given architecture, but not across them. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10281567/why-are-the-sys...): the way you call any kernel function is guaranteed to stay the same forever.

That means that programs that directly make system calls will keep working on newer OSes.

On many (¿most? https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/473137/do-other-uni...) other operating systems, that’s not the case; the OS ships with a library that provides a stable interface, and system call numbers, arguments, or calling conventions can change (in theory, the interface could even change across reboots or process runs). On openBSD, that library is Libc (and, unfortunately, is a lot larger than just the OS interface. IMO, in an ideal world, it should be split in two parts, the OS interface and a C library)

Go wants to produce statically linked executables. It can’t do both that and link with LibC. It now changed to dynamically link with LibC, guaranteeing that what you compile today will run as well on next year’s OpenBSD as it does on today’s one.

On top of that, openBSD has a security feature where it verifies that system calls are made via LibC. That feature wasn’t implemented as thoroughly as possible because go made direct system calls. This change allows OpenBSD to tighten that feauture.
glibc also supports Hurd.
It's not that simple. Sure "the good old days" wasn't that good, but that doesn't mean he was completely wrong.

>We have made untold advances in the medical sciences

Out of reach of a lot of humanity and for those that can access it it is not without risks (just look at the medical devices debacle in the US). It also isn't as good as we often seem to believe. For example the US is number 7 in Deaths by heart attack but it is still double the amount of deaths as number 1[0].

>we are rapidly divorcing ourselves from our reliance on fossil fuels

Acording to EIA[1] "The share of U.S. total energy consumption that originated from fossil fuels has fallen from its peak of 94% in 1966 to 80% in 2018". 80% is not "divorcing ourselves from our reliance on fossil fuels". It will be at least ten years before we see another 10% down in the US.

>we are living in a time when there is an unprecedented level of awareness for basal human rights

Yet human rights, press freedom and economic freedom are all on a downswing in the US[2][3][4].

Here are some of Ada Lovelace's notes on Menebrea's paper on Babbage's Analytical Engine: http://www.cs.yale.edu/homes/tap/Files/ada-lovelace-notes.ht...

> Again, it [the Analytical Engine] might act upon other things besides number, were objects found whose mutual fundamental relations could be expressed by those of the abstract science of operations, and which should be also susceptible of adaptations to the action of the operating notation and mechanism of the engine . . . Supposing, for instance, that the fundamental relations of pitched sounds in the science of harmony and of musical composition were susceptible of such expression and adaptations, the engine might compose elaborate and scientific pieces of music of any degree of complexity or extent.

Some AI generated music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gA03iyI3yEA

> It is desirable to guard against the possibility of exaggerated ideas that might arise as to the powers of the Analytical Engine. In considering any new subject, there is frequently a tendency, first, to overrate what we find to be already interesting or remarkable; and, secondly, by a sort of natural reaction, to undervalue the true state of the case, when we do discover that our notions have surpassed those that were really tenable. The Analytical Engine has no pretensions whatever to originate any thing. It can do whatever we know how to order it to perform. It can follow analysis; but it has no power of anticipating any analytical relations or truths. Its province is to assist us in making available what we are already acquainted with. This it is calculated to effect primarily and chiefly of course, through its executive faculties; but it is likely to exert an indirect and reciprocal influence on science itself in another manner. For, in so distributing and combining the truths and the formula of analysis, that they may become most easily and rapidly amenable to the mechanical combinations of the engine, the relations and the nature of many subjects in that science are necessarily thrown into new lights, and more profoundly investigated.

The second quote in particular was important for Turing later on: https://mindmatters.ai/2020/05/lovelace-the-programmer-who-s...

Back to your comment,

I believe Steve Jobs was a buisnessperson with a focus on design and Steve Wozniak provided most of quality engineering on the early years. I also like to bash Apple for a lot of stuff and I have never bought nor owned a single Apple product but recognize their early products as great and not snake oil.

So that is "anything but a snake oil salesman with a decent understanding of typography" and by modus tollens I am _not_ the "type of person to think she had anything important to add to computer science". Contradiction.

Also, it is no coincidence that the first programmer was working with the person building the first general computer (albeit neither digital nor electronic)

It's not really at the extreme end of the normal distribution for personality, it's a neurological condition.

It's also terrible for raising kids in my experience as because of the large genetic component it's likely one of your kids has it too. So now you have this little firecracker who won't sit still and bugs you near constantly while you just want to retreat into your world and get sucked into what it is that you want to do. You get frustrated and aggravated when they disturb you and they get frustrated and aggravated when you seem disinterested in the thing they're intensely interested in.

At least that's how it tends to go in my household.

I’ll try to work them out.
If you got a JBL speaker, you cannot upgrade its firmware without the app. The app requires location access, otherwise it will not work at all. There is no reason for location access because even if you grant access, it doesn't feature anything like a map or compass. It solely uses the location for marketing.

Also, you cannot just search for a new firmware update and uninstall the app immediately afterwards. You have to wait a few days for it to notify you so they can track you for a longer period of time.
How can there even be ‘significant warfare between rich and poor’? Some kind of communist revolution? By definition the poor don’t have the resources to significantly attack the rich.
Back breaking labour, very long working hours, poor health care and for the most part, endentured servitude to those who own the land/mills/factories you toil away in?

All of these things are more true now than they were in the average subsistence based society. Amazon warehouse workers have a worse deal than serfs, and a much much worse deal than hunter gatherers.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_return_on_investment

If you want a really long read - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/31850765-energy-and-civi...

The tl;dr is that renewables cannot provide equivalent levels of surplus energy to fossil fuels, cannot offer the same reliability as fossil fuels, cannot perform the same functions as fossil fuels (e.g. shipping).

It's great that you're also going to therapy. I hope the therapy is for the habits of ADD (if it's for other things, I suggest you include any ADD habit that's impeding your life).

I waited until 25 yrs old. Took a break for a bit but restarted at 33. I don't think I'll look back. The medication is such a night/day experience but it's only half the battle for me. Gotta break the bad habits (not filing away, not reviewing the day, etc).
