The madvise() functions and similar are a blunt and imprecise instrument. The kernel is free to ignore them, and frequently does in practice. It also does not prevent the kernel from proactively doing things you don't want it to do with your buffer pool at the worst possible time.

A user space buffer pool gives you precise and deterministic control of many of these behaviors.
this is not even remotely true, the only reason US is a net oil exporter is because combination of high oil prices & cheap money has created an artificial support environment where unprofitable stuff like shale oil can survive. take some of these factors out and add demand destruction (even as low as 5%) from EVs and you are back to wildly fluctuating oil prices with no end in sight because every year the problem will be incrementally worse.

if there is one takeaway from all this it is there are very few oil producers that are profitab;e above $50/bbl and US ain't one of them.

In that case, you've likely already optimized for compensation, so it makes sense that it would be less of a factor in your next move.

US companies pay 2-3x as much at the top end (if you relocate, probably less for remote). With that kind of gap it's pretty hard for pay not to be a major factor.

This is only partially accurate. The Romans and Persian, for example, did not consider the other, barbarians. Same between the Greeks/Egyptians/Carthaginians/Jews/etc...

What defined a "barbarian" group was that they we undeveloped scattered tribes - without central political power. They usually lacked written codified laws, formal political assembly, ambassadors, etc...

The Gauls, the Celts, the Germanic tribes, the Turkic tribes, etc... They all were considered "barbarians" because of their tribal community focused political structure. Few centralized buildings existed, lower literacy rates, etc...

These differences were very apparent when a soldier would leave from Rome or Constantinople, and then find himself conquering a Gaulic settlement where the biggest buildings were still made of wood.

Of course, as the centuries went on, these tribal communities became more and more centralize and organized until those differences disappeared.
Me too. I left for 25% more money. I'm also still just as happy. Both my new company and old company are excellent places to work.
The article is really sparse on what information was missing. Neither the NRC or Oklo specified what else is needed. It’s probably wise to give both sides the benefit of the doubt.

Personally, I would use the iPhone 3GS as the baseline minimal hardware that can support all of the must-have features of real-world software, because the 3GS was the first model capable of running the VoiceOver screen reader (in addition, of course, to all the other things it could do). But then, I'm sure I'm over-emphasizing the must-have feature that matters to me.

This kind of framing of the “information marketplace” is really really naive. It’s a good sound byte because “who could be against the free expression of ideas” but assumes a world without market distortions caused by people with disproportionate reach and impact.

It’s really really stupid for someone with a huge audience to bring on an anti-vax nut job and uncritically interview them because simply being on the show at all lends their message legitimacy — “this person who I trust to curate content says this is a voice worth listening to.”

The message isn’t “you shouldn’t be allowed to listen to their viewpoints” but “what the fuck Joe, you basically endorsed these idiots and people actually listen to you.”
isn't it well known that one of the main reasons why we got a vaccine so quickly was because we had done a ton of research when SARS originally broke out?
That's not entirely unrealistic. In the 70s and 80s there was a USAF program to convert passenger 747 airplanes into surveillance planes and missile launch platforms (under the designation "E-4"). Soviet fear of those militarized 747s contributed to the shoot-down of KAL007.
The book System Design Interview is quite good and pragmatic. Personally, I found Designing Data-Intensive Applications less useful because it works on a much lower level.

Pertinent info FTA:

Oklo co-founder and COO Caroline Cochran pointed out the stunning fact that no nuclear plant that has submitted an application since the formation of the NRC in 1975 has yet commenced operation.

Assuming accuracy, that's a damning statistic. I don't believe for a minute that every single application that's crossed their desk for nearly half a century was so flawed or unsafe that it was unworkable.

Knowing what I know of governments and bureaucrats, I'd speculate that they're being asked for a bunch of irrelevant or impossible (i.e. doesn't apply to their design) information, and the people in the bureau are being useless and obstructive about it since there's no downsisde for false negatives.

The average developer isn't often doing "engineering". Until we have actual standards and a certification process, "engineer[ing]" doesn't mean anything.

The average software developer doesn't even know much math.

Right now, "software engineer" basically means "has a computer, -perhaps- knows a little bit about what goes on under the hood".

> It's the track of the herd, perpetuated by copy-and-paste.

While I agree with you that "everyone is doing it" doesn't mean it's right, it also doesn't mean it's wrong.

> Successive, nervous lawyers deposit ever more warranties by name, some more or less made up by creative opposing counsel.

There are four listed explicitly in the UCC: merchantability, fitness, non-infringement, and title. Since we're dealing solely in intellectual property (and it's a license, not a sale), I'd agree that title is superfluous to non-infringement. But the other three are well-grounded in both statute and fact.

> Can a court really hold that Big Time software comes "with warranty", and expect to survive appeal?

For most OSS developers, it isn't enough to win on appeal. They don't have the kind of money to go all Google v. Oracle. We want to shape the battlefield to win on summary judgment without a jury trial.

Please don't take this disagreement as suggesting that I don't appreciate your contribution. I think it's great to see more lawyers who are active in this space, especially one who contributes as much as you do. To the extent you're open to suggestions, mine is solely to expressly disclaim the three applicable implied warranties. Everything else in what you've done, I absolutely love. Thank you for what you do.
I think both comments are true. Take something as lean as GEOS and upgrade it to support 5K displays, HDR color, unicode, etc., and I still think it would be several orders of magnitude smaller and faster than most of today's software.

I would agree with most of the comments. Almost all companies have some component of their workforce still (always) remote. What it sounds like is you are looking for a more async work experience.

It seems like there are teams that have been public about using Loom etc. to make this happen smoothly and effectively and that could be a starting point. The more async the more you can flex time zones and that will probably help the "Nomad" aspect of your goals. We recently indexed a few thousand jobs for https://www.kiter.app/tech-jobs and it was hard to pick out NON remote roles still.

Best of luck!
I personally had no problem interpreting the title correctly, but I see that it could be interpreted as the heat seeking missiles are the countermeasures against something else. Not sure it warrants being changed, though.
To be specific about what my hint was, I said "it doesn't make sense to me that the company would be willing to lose me over letting me go down to 4 days." I'm fairly certain my point came across clearly, but my guess is that he thought I was bluffing.

Definitely makes you wonder how dependent the human body is to gravity.

Would be interesting to run these tests on different groups experiencing varying degrees of gravity, on a spinning station perhaps, and see what's the minimum amount of gravity we can get away with while keeping side-effects to a minimum.

Long term tests would also be very valuable, 1-2 years.
people in software tend to be introverts who sink a lot of their life and self worth into the job. We see the effects of this in the gatekeeping by elite software engineers who firmly believe the vast majority of degree holding, gainfully employed software engineers are complete idiots lucky to have a job - which is ridiculous.

The other side of it is the ridiculous notion some developers have of not having to meet these standards to get the best jobs.... two sides of the same coin that starts with an unhealthy attachment to your profession as your identity.

> When I gave my verbal notice, suddenly there was immediate backpedaling and said maybe something could be worked out. I declined because I don't negotiate like that. If you mismanage a negotiation, there is no do-overs just because you overplayed your hand. The trust is broken.

Good for you!

This is something I always tell junior engineers who are looking for ways to negotiate for something (usually pay and/or promotions). Although it's very effective, negotiation by throwing a competing offer on the bosses desk usually starts a fire-drill up the management chain which gets you noticed in a not-so-positive way. It also leaves a lot of bad feelings all around.

Thank you for sharing these resources. One of my first steps on a new project that I'll work with on an extended basis is to add new labels, and delete the ugly default ones I won't use. I've never made time to articulate my frustrations with the default labels, but these articles do a great job of identifying the issues, and proposing practical solutions.

I come from a background in education, and there's so much more to thinking through categorization and labeling systems than many people realize. The way we tag things has a significant impact on how we think about them. An efficient, well-thought-out tagging system leads us to work more efficiently without even knowing it. A technically correct but fundamentally weak tagging system can easily end up hurting the process, by hiding things that we assume would surface when needed.

I'm surprised GitHub hasn't done more with this.

I have always struggled with how to advise my friends & family on this path of learning. It seems like everyone wants to be a WFH developer these days, but I don't know how to enable them to succeed on that path. "Go build something you want to build!" is something I keep reiterating (as does this article). But most don't seem to be interested in that for whatever reason (presumably because its fucking hard).

Maybe I should just leave it at that - I am getting to a point where if someone doesn't have the willpower to go burn a whole weekend on a pile of bullshit that won't even compile (i.e. because they really want to solve some problem), then maybe they won't have the necessary pain tolerance required to truly master the skillset.
To be frank, nobody cares about your code. I’d be shocked and flattered if anybody read any of the code I wrote during my PhD.
Publish the code in its current state and move on. If people take the time to actually read and nit pick your code you’ll have succeeded.

We can't use Nim at my organization as the binaries it generates are detected as viruses and deleted by CrowdStrike Falcon when I attempt to execute them and results in a visit from our security team. I uploaded one of my binaries to Total Virus for inspection and several AV products mark it as malicious. This was with Nim verson 1.6.2. I created an issue but it was promptly closed as there was already open 6+ month old issue about this. I know it's not the project's fault and that the AV companies need to resolve this, but if this is not resolved it's going to severely limit the viability of Nim, especially in larger companies. I want to use Nim to build tools, but can't until this is resolved.
Silo'd small 4-discipline feature teams that put too much stress on managers with 4 individual bottlenecks.

Yes you should. Just publishing as it is would be enough. Everybody understands that academic code is pretty experimental and nobody would judge it if it is pretty or not. The reason why you should publish it is to gain trust. Back when I was doing my PhD I found several instances of papers that had results that were nearly impossible to reproduce to the point that I sometimes believed they were just fakes. I am pretty sure in most of the cases that is not the case but....
While the article doesn't reference all these details, the NRC's denial letter to Oklo covers more of them: https://www.nrc.gov/docs/ML2200/ML22006A267.pdf

The claim from the NRC in that letter is:

“Oklo’s application continues to contain significant information gaps in its description of Aurora’s potential accidents as well as its classification of safety systems and components,” Veil said. “These gaps prevent further review activities. We are prepared to re-engage with Oklo if they
submit a revised application that provides the information we need for a thorough and timely review.”
