> he could just be exasperated after previous communication with the employee

Then they are a very poor manager. That kind of tone and language should never be used. If it has gotten to that point, then the issue should be escalated to HR. But it doesn't sound at all like they're exasperated. It sounds like they're a bully.
There are weird people on SO who are both trolls and knowledgeable. There is one person who edits EVERY SINGLE question regarding a certain programming language. Then attempts to close every question as "already asked", even where it is somewhat questionable whether it had been asked already or not. He knows his stuff really well though so he ends up not getting banned.

I do not get it.
I was curious so I checked.

CBS, BuzzFeed, NBC, Politico, USA Today, NPR, and WSJ stories mentioned that he died many hours after leaving, most provided exact times.

I gave up after those because it seems this narrative about the truth being buried isn’t turning out to be true.

This makes me wonder what sort of semi-pro astrophotography might be possible using a disassembled small cinema camera (black magic pocket 6k, for instance, or a similar priced full frame mirrorless or DSLR) with a peltier cooler or refrigerant loop heatsink attached to its back side.

How close could one get in performance to a very costly astrophotography setup, for under $10k? Not counting the cost of the telescope/optics in front of it, just talking about the sensor part.
Ultimately, pursuing a full-featured graphical web browser might not be the right approach for a volunteer-/hobby-driven project to develop a web browser. But it would absolutely make sense that a newly implemented terminal-based browser in Go (or any other memory-safe language) could/should replace Lynx and w3m.

It's actually pretty surprising that there hasn't been a niche surge in websites specifically meant to work well in textmode browsers, considering how many programmers claim to spend 90% of their time inside either a terminal window or in a web browser. Even now on HN I'm typing this in Firefox. And Sourcehut, too is widely acclaimed for being "simple" and/or "minimal", but it's not exactly great (or even clear) to look at in the two browsers I just checked.
> You are an IBM employee 100% of the time.

Sorry but that violates FLSA. You're only an employee when you're doing work. They don't own you.
India is a huge and complex country. The virus was not waiting for Kumbh to spread for sure, as daily life in most Indian cities operates in super spreader mode.

From a newspaper report on Mumbai Locals [1]-

"Passengers on suburban local trains in Mumbai have increased since the services were resumed for the general public on February 1. Nearly 3.7 million passengers commute everyday by the local train network on the Central and the Western Railway."

This permissive admitted towards public corruption is a fairly new development in US politics.

Jimmy Carter put his struggling peanut farm in a blind trust to avoid the appearance of corruption. This has become a punchline today, but was standard at the time.

Frankly, the corruption of the Clintons, who generally took turns raking in cash while the other performed duties as a public servant, sent the dominos crashing here.

Because corruption is incredibly easy to hide and obscure, it is correct to cultivate a culture of transparency accountability when, for example, tens of millions of dollars change hands between powerful institutions for no apparent reason.
Can you explain how, exactly, for three IBM employees, it's their paid job, and for a fourth IBM employee, it's a hobby (but until recently it was also their paid job)?

I learned the Japanese word 黄色人種 (yellow race) from a Japanese women when I asked how to appropriately designate "asian people".

(But it's definitely not the most common expression)
Yeah, I touch on this near the bottom (ctrl-f 'bitemporal'). I think having multiple watermarks would be a neat solution. Kinda like the way flink sends markers through to get consistent snapshots for fault tolerance.
It would be a little nonsensical for the community to say that IBM does not control the "IBM Power SRIOV Virtual NIC Device Driver," which is located in the drivers/net/ethernet/ibm directory, and which according to this very same MAINTAINERS file is maintained by three other IBM employees.
I'm reading through these first level comments and just wondering how the hell anyone here would react to a non-white collar job.

Now to put this into perspective, I agree with most of you! But the freedom you guys have (quit, say noz find a new job) etc just won't work for the rest of us.

I'm not saying this to look down on you guys, just trying to give a different perspective if this wasn't a white collar job

Edit: I will reply, but I'm about to start work and I won't finish for another 13 hours (30 mins still left on my daily transit)
There's also a lot of people karma farming (for employment reasons?). A couple of years ago I was searching for something and the same question was asked by someone else on SO and this came up repeatedly while I was looking, but after 4 years there was no answer so it was a very low quality result. A couple of days later I did find/discover an answer so I went back to SO and added my reply, miraculously after 4 years someone else added an answer about 12 minutes later, it was the same answer as mine with a little more formatting and marked themselves as correct.

So after that experience would I go to the effort of contributing back again? Maybe in this case, because the answer was shorter than this post, but the equation might change if it required more effort.
Working in backbone operations for a mid sized ISP, we sure don't have 1:30 meetings, but we do have scheduled 1:30 maintenance events (planned several weeks in advance), and people on the on-call list are expected to be available for middle of the night emergencies. Catastrophic fiber cuts and equipment failures like a roof failing and pouring water onto a DWDM chassis have the tendency to occur at fun times like 0330 in the morning on a holiday.

It is expected and known that if you do something like respond to a 0130 in the morning emergency and work the issue until 0430, then go to sleep, that you're going to sleep until whenever you wake up in the mid afternoon and probably not be useful for any other tasks that day.

I should point out that the salaried employees expected to respond to such things are compensated appropriately, and the general practice is to have a group of people so that each person is only on-call for some portion of each month.

The rank and file NOC employees and fiber splicers, field crews, field technicians are hourly employees and get overtime for incidents as described above. Depending on the state and labor laws they're also paid an hourly rate simply for being on-call, even if nothing happens, for the duration of their on-call rotation week(s).
On call should be optional and paid accordingly. It should not be a part of the job, because not everyone is fit to do it (physically, mentally, family-wise, or otherwise).

Incentivize people to take on-call time and those who are fit will take it.

This is one of my favorite Ted talks ever. I have referred so many people to it. It’s amazing what a difference a few extra little details can make in how fast and easy it is to dry my hands.

For better or worse, we are constantly ranking ourselves against others. I'm not sure it's possible to opt out of this. If the author of this article didn't care what other people thought, why would he publish a blog? Even if all you value is equanimity, you'll compare yourself to people embodying it. True detachment is basically an ideal, religious state.

If you fail to acknowledge the part of you that ranks yourself, it often leads to poorly masked jealousy. Like thinking everyone who makes more money than you is greedy, everyone who is smarter than you is pretentious. Better to notice that part of yourself. It doesn't have to rule you completely but it's there.

I think some of what you say is widely debated but it is disappointing that those who advocated better election security after 2016 did a 360 in 2020 and decided the same systems are now infallible. Election security shouldn’t be a partisan issue. Wholly suboptimal.
Why limit the question to finance?
> Otherwise you’d be making under minimum wage if you were salaried and making less than $90k.

No, because if you have a $90k salary and job duties that qualify for wage and hour exemption under FLSA and any applicable state labor law at that salary, then, there is no minimum hourly wage.

That’s what it means to be exempt from wage and hour rules.

For FLSA, “computer related” work is exempt at a salary of just over $35k.
Microsoft is correct. You can just use the most recent windows 10 zero day and get anything you want, no password or account needed... Or any of the other numerous MS products that currently have zero day vulns.
My great great grandfather was a French lumberjack in Maine. (Great great grandmother was a cook at the camp). I’ve never heard of this problem but we do all have adhd or something like that, we tend to stare into space lost in thought and miss what people are saying and then snap back to real world and try to catch up with the conversation. This made following lectures in college very challenging. That might not be related at all though, just coincidence, after that many generations. If someone was to make a loud noise while I was deep in thought I’d probably jump too! And I guess if I think about it I do tend to repeat back things I hear a lot.

What I use to do as read through the newspaper to learn about issues and events that may not effect me personally.

Then I'd look up another source to get a counter point.

I'm not sure if it's because I'm older and more jaded, or news sources are becoming less information baring and more position pushing, but I am just cutting off my news now.

At the start of the pandemic, I decided to treat myself with a high quality audio setup.

I found Volumio and decided to buy a Volumio Primo (it’s their high quality streamer, if you don’t want to build one of a Raspberry Pi).

I love it. I combine it with Roon, so that I play music anywhere at home over the network. I use Volumio as a DAC, and also to occasionally stream radio and podcasts.
If they want to control it they can create their own repo and distribute it on their website. If it's going in the Linux kernel tree it should not be subject to single-handed decisions by a corporation.
This is an IBM-maintained driver for an IBM-owned architecture.

You are subject to IBM trade secret law 100% of the time. Just because you only get paid for 8 hours of work a day doesn't mean you can use your 9th hour to tell people all about trade secrets. You are, in fact, paid to adhere to the terms of your employment contract 24/7.
Caveat: you may do this if you are planning on starting a new business.

I used to be a huge fan of Greenwald, but it seems lately his fixation on being critical of other media often leads him to ignore the obvious.

Law enforcement were the ones who initially said the officer died after engaging with protesters and video showed protestors physically engaged with officers in multiple videos so it's not like it's an unbelievable claim. The media didn’t invent that narrative.

If the basis of his argument starts with an obvious falsehood, then how reliable is the rest of it? Throw it all away I guess, Greenwald too.
I had the same experience moving from visual studio 2017 to visual studio 2019. I tried disabling every possible IntelliSense related feature and there was always a small but perceptible amount of input latency that drove me crazy.

Eventually I was forced to switch over to jet brains rider and I haven't looked back since, which is a shame because I really enjoyed using the previous versions (2010, 2012, 2015, and 2017).
That is a fair point to make, and indeed if you look at the commits for other very vendor specific open source network interfaces (like Intel's 10Gbps and 100Gbps NICs), the manufacturer has a very close relationship to publishing drivers for this sort of stuff.

Go as far back as the year 2004 and Intel's first generation of PCI-X (not PCI-E!) very expensive 10Gbps NICs for servers, and their FreeBSD drivers. Look at the man pages for them and the @intel.com email addresses who wrote the drivers and the man page.

In the case of something like an ethernet card the only persons who might have the appropriate knowledge to write a stable kernel driver probably are the same ones who designed it.

Sounds like the type of email a manager who's stuck as the messenger for legal and/or HR and knows that this type of message has to be by-the-book in case it ever ends up as part of a legal proceeding. Unfortunately you can be the best manager in the world, but in that situation you still end up writing roughly the same email as someone who's barely competent.
> only persons who might have the appropriate knowledge

Sometimes though the community doesn't want just the knowledge of the corporation, we want it plus more.

We don't want DVD region restrictions. We don't want GPUs artificially restricted from mining Ethereum. These are the kind of things where an open source person can give a pull request to the repo to include an awesome feature that enables the hardware to do more than it is advertised to do and shove it to their corporate ass. That's the spirit of Linux.

If someone was able to make the IBM hardware do something that it was artificially restricted from doing, they should be able to issue a pull request to the repo and get it committed.
HN certainly does seem like one of the things that you might want to try to use in the middle of an ocean, if you're paying per megabyte of data transferred over an Inmarsta or Iridium based service.
Some additional context:

Lijun Pan was listed in MAINTAINERS for IBM's VNIC driver with their IBM email up until 3 days ago, when they changed their email to their personal address and changed themselves from M ("Mail") to R ("Reviewer")[0].

Then, today, they received these instructions: "Please remove yourself completely from the maintainers file. I grant you a 1 time exception on contributions to VNIC to make this change."

It looks to me like there's been a change in the organization--either in this employee's assignment or in their policies surrounding contributing to their VNIC driver--that this employee was trying to bypass by identifying their commits as now being part of a personal hobby.

The fact that I can navigate HN does not mean that it is pleasurable. The front page makes cumbersome to navigate down the list of publications and the comments sections do not signal where a thread starts or ends and who is answering to whom. Skipping boring threads therefore becomes practically impossible unless I find the top comment and know the uncommunicated feature to collapse threads.

Some older machines had different byte lengths. I believe Burroughs had 7-bit bytes. PDP-10s had 36-bit words which could be divided into any byte size that you liked; 7 bits was common, but if you needed them you could get 1-bit bytes, 6 bit (which was used to encode filenames), 8 bits, whatever.

going by how the web is doing today, the refactor you refer to will never be done.
It's great to see yet another attempt at writing a web browser --- and I say this as someone who has been (slowly) working on one myself.

The browser is far from stable, spec-compliant, or even really useful, but, I'm slowly working on bringing more features and supporting more sites.

When the specs are constantly churning in order to keep one gigantic company's browser an effective monopoly, maybe it isn't really that important to follow them so closely... especially if you're aiming for something more like an actually-user-friendly (i.e. with the UI and controls you actually want, not some designer's flavour-of-the-month) hypertext document viewer than a web application runtime/OS. From that perspective, even HTML4+CSS2 would probably be quite sufficient.

Maybe if enough of these "minimal browsers" show up, people might even realise that basic HTML and CSS is quite sufficient for a lot of things and start creating simpler, more efficient sites, thus dissolving the monopoly. I realise it's going to be extremely difficult to fight corporate interests, but one can hope and dream...

I remember that they made an special version just for me. An update had removed a feature i used a lot.

A while later I helped them track down an error they couldn't find the cause of. They asked how they could thank me and i replied "bring back feature x"

For a little while they put up a link to a "Tony-edition" on the official download site until they got the feature back in the regular release. I still have it somewhere.

That's really interesting about human hibernation. I have always interpreted it as a way to pass the time. But, now that I think about it it's more often a way to avoid aging.

My knee-jerk was that hibernation doesn't save a ton of calories - a passive day and a highly active day are only a factor of 2 different (something I learned when getting my resting calorie spend as a volunteer medical test subject).

But, pausing aging - that's different than just sleeping all day and keeping your caloric spend to base. If you aren't aging I suspect no calories can be spent.

Is that possible? I know there are the "Walt Disney's head is frozen to be revived later" concepts, but do we have any evidence it is possible to pause aging entirely?

I'd bet that controlled and sustained fusion is closer. And, that seems like fantasy.
