Like most open source, a good way is to use it and then find issues and fix them; aka scratch your own itches.

Here are the itches I have scratched and attempted to scratch in the Linux kernel:

I got my first commit into Linux many years ago by noticing the shortname mount option for the vfat filesystem was suboptimal and then sending a patch flipping the default to mixed.

Later when maintaining a simple core dump handler script, a bug reporter noticed that Linux was splitting the core dump handler string after filling in the parameters, instead of before, so I fixed that, with a few broken patches and a lot of help from other Linux devs.

Later I was using SSD+HDD mirrored with lvmraid (not mdadm RAID) and noticed that Linux doesn't allow TRIM/discard on lvmraid when one device supports TRIM but the other doesn't, I wrote a working patch for that but I used the completely wrong approach, so it was rightly rejected. I haven't managed to get back to that project and the HDD died in the meantime.

Later while helping users on the #debian-next IRC channel, after seeing a patch fixing the Bluetooth code by changing a magic number, I looked at the code and noticed a lot more magic numbers. Then I investigated what it would take to eliminate those magic numbers. I encountered a legal barrier and contacted the relevant Linux Foundation and Linux kernel folks, who assured me my approach would be fine. I haven't managed to get back to that project yet though.

While maintaining the Python implementation of iotop (the C implementation is better), I noticed there is no way to look up at runtime from userspace which syscalls a Linux kernel offers and what their names are etc. Haven't started on that yet.

When my monitor had an issue with the EDID going missing (turns out it was just a bent pin on the VGA cable I was using), I had the idea to create /sys/class/storage, which would let you back up all the non-volatile storage on your system that isn't a block device, like monitor EDIDs, BIOS variables, UEFI storage, pstore etc. Haven't started on that yet.

When I was forwarding my USB based webcam from my laptop to my desktop using the usbip tool and Linux kernel module, I noticed some ergonomic issues in the userspace side and started working on them. I haven't managed to get back to that project recently though.

My rejected and unfinished patches and TODO files are here in case anyone wants to pick these up:

The kernelnewbies resources are often helpful, including the IRC channel:

https://kernelnewbies.org/

I think the best way though is a GSoC/Outreachy Linux kernel internship, that has full-time mentoring and often leads to job opportunities too.

Treasure Islands: Tax Havens and the Men who Stole the World: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treasure_Islands

^^ hardly any developed country comes off as good in this book and what brought us here is how we've been distributing wealth since the industrialization.

Everyone's a hypocrite because it's the number #1 rule of "human-club". The more power one has, the more they'll be forced to square that circle.

I still agree that anyone who has power should be put under more pressure than the rest, so punching the US (as a country not its people) is justified, but don't forget about countries like Germany, France, Russia, China, UK when dishing out accusations about hypocriticism.

"The real problem of humanity is the following: we have Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions, and god-like technology." -- Edward O. Wilson, 1929
Meanwhile, we have hard proof that this does occur in nature.

So this part of the discussion is no longer relevant from an evidence of view, the 'even more implausible' part turned out to be true.

This - again - illustrates why I think this whole thread is a large pile of rubbish. If you are arguing with old information for an implausible viewpoint why are you arguing at all?
I suggested adjusting it at the system level, so I hope it's clear that I think adapting is a good strategy. I'm not sure a custom style sheet solves the problem since they "live and breathe" the product. That's going to involve mockups, assets, etc.

I don't think it's obvious they're happy with the job at all. They've said nothing positive about their cofounders. Really the only positive thing at all is that this current product "seems like it will take off" which isn't exactly a slam dunk. It seems like a pretty bad experience to think you're totally responsible for a product and have a redesign done behind your back.

Show HN: Brasterd - A software renderer with terrible performance
Not everybody wants to live in a hive city where you can hear your neighbors. I'm all for making cities as walkable as they can be, even ban cars from them. Just don't ever make me set foot in one again.
I understand the hostility to making everything be monetized, however, workers do need to be paid. This might not be particularly relevant for a smartphone app, as software developers can easily get a job that pays 2x or 3x the average salary. Most "creators", however, are not as lucky as devs. The average creative person has a boring regular job and most can only focus on the work they care about if they charge money for it and/or receive sufficient donations.

This is often framed as a criticism of capitalism, or consumerism, or some other modern phenomenon. But for most of history, artisans and craftsmen were paid for their work. The expectation that they would be paid for their work is what established the profession in the first place, allowing for things like workshops and decades-long apprenticeships to exist. This is why things like the Italian Renaissance happened. In fact, I'd say that the majority of the historical artistic and cultural artifacts that we have today were created in this manner and not because the creator just wanted to make stuff that people enjoy.

It's only in the last century or two that (influenced by the Romantic movement) that the notion of art = self-expression has taken over the entire concept of culture.

Money also can't buy cool stuff if you spend all your time working.

I definitely prioritize a certain level of money over cool stuff. However i make money to spend on things that make me happy - what's the point if you don't spend it. Taking a lower paying but cooler job, is just another way of spending your money.
This post hits hard. It expresses exactly how I feel. There are days when I say to myself “hey, I got things to say” but they I remember that I’m not an exceptional engineer and probably someone else said it.

There’s another problem. I’m not comfortable writing in English, I want to use my mother tongue - Bulgarian. It would mean zero audience for the blog. Also, most English terms have funny translations or don’t have at all.

Maybe I’m overthinking.
This is actually a common offer. Some companies that wanna continue to offer high compensation without this upfront sticker cost are now resorting to one year rather than 4 year grants (stripe, Lyft).
Did this as a team member (the poachee) a few times; did it as a manager (the poacher) a couple as well.

As a team member, it wasn't about disliking my current team or workload; it was a way to get an out-of-band salary increase without leaving the company or the benefit stack that I liked.

As a manager? There's a lot of value -- sometimes literally months of lost productivity regained -- in hiring someone who already knows the product, culture, tools and reporting structures.
> If you fail to pay your property taxes, the government can kick you out

Yes, agreed. You are merely renting land from the govt.

That is not the case everywhere, btw, IIRC.

Ireland (I believe, to be verified) and China don't have things like property taxes.
I've lived in Korea off and on in the past and am living here now.
I don't know regarding F-visa types, but I think you'd be able to get a job without too much hassle, maybe just some extra-work to seek out companies willing to communicate in English. There's definitely a pool of companies / startups interested in foreigners / their skillset though of course they would appreciate it if you could communicate a bit in Korean.

I believe you can also get a remote job from a company outside of Korea as others have mentioned the currency and work is not involved with Korea so it should be okay.

Jumping in and out with tourist visa is a bit more difficult now with most countries on lockdown. I also think Korea has a mandatory 10-day Quarantine at home or government facility for anyone entering the country, regardless of their vaccine / visa status.

For the last point, if you enter on a tourist visa (B-1,B-2) if it's applicable to you, that visa can be changed within Korea. But if it's the other type tourist visa (C-1,C-2) you can't change the visa within Korea. This is a rule I recall vaguely, so don't quote me exactly.
As a hiring person I've interviewed great engineers with cool side projects who just weren't a good fit for the particular role I was hiring for. But also famously "I created homebrew" didn't get him a job at google. I've never had to use binary trees at work. :)

I think that "pay a lot" and "full remote" are basically the dream for anyone who's currently responsible for supporting a family. Your company sounds like it offers some great things, but those things would be much more valuable to single and empty-nest folks. At this point in my own life, with four growing kids and an overwhelmed spouse, I don't have the luxury of being able to trade time and money for "really cool work."

Flappy Bird was reportedly making $50k per day during its short initial peak after going viral. If I was the Wordle dev, I wouldn't go crazy and try to turn Wordle into a full fledged company. However unless the dev is independently wealthy I honestly think it is a little stupid not to do any monetization. There is probably enough potential their to ride a month or two of popularity to lifelong financial security. Why not take that?

Uh, rental properties absolutely compete in price. That is in fact why prices are so relatively consistent- no sane tenant on the market is going to pick a more expensive apartment when the complex a couple blocks away costs less, so they end up about the same.

That’s different then your assertion that a minimum wage increase would be disproportionately taken up by housing- that’s probably true, but that’s not due to a lack of competition on price, it’s due to more money chasing the same supply. And it’s quite possible that a minimum wage increase could see new entrants chasing rising prices on the low end side- perhaps enabling more people to rent houses as a multi family household rather than apartments.

What we are seeing is an underlying demand shock (the effects of stay at home orders and WFH causing people to want to consume more housing on per person basis, combined with more money from changed consumption patterns and government programs ) that combined with a supply issue (historically low housing construction after the 2008 recession combined with global supply and labor issues) that has created a situation of historic demand chasing historically little supply inventory. If we finally see sufficient housing construction then you’ll see prices stabilize and possibly even come down, because those new units compete with the existing units.
I own two large cars to ferry my kids around the city and have enough time to get anything else done in a day. I hate that I need a car to do that and a backup in case one breaks down. I’d rather not have any cars and be able to use public transit. Alas, everybody has a car, so public transit is crap, because not enough people care. This causes a feedback loop, which in extreme cases in USA creates neighborhoods you can’t walk out of: I’ve been to a place literally surrounded by highways. The only way to leave was by car.
You just go and do it - it's just sending out an email. You don't need to introduce yourself, sign up anywhere, or do anything particularly fancy.

You do need to write code that works and will be accepted, and follow the expected protocol when submitting it. There's a lot of information on the process out there (some of it obsolete), but really it boils down to:

- git clone the kernel (latest release or latest RC usually works for this)

- Write and test the patch

- Make sure Git authorship info is correct and the commit is signed off (`git commit -s`)

- git format-patch to make the patch

- checkpatch.pl to check for style issues

- get_maintainer.pl to figure out who to send it to

- git send-email to send it properly
It took this planet about 3.5 billion years for a conscious intelligence to emerge that was just barely curious enough to notice Wordle on Hackerne.ws a few minutes ago.
That's me.

After reading about Wordle, this very being thinks that guy should take every bloody buck out of their pockets, without any remorse but pure heartless greed, and donate them to whomever or whatever he thinks needs it the most.

That'll teach them.
I still find it extremely interesting to study the venerable Ginkgo biloba and how the tree achieves near immortality https://www.science.org/content/article/how-ginkgo-biloba-ac...

I suspect the extremely slow ability to adapt to environmental changes led the tree to near extinction so in the end near immortality is not a good strategy when there is a need to adapt.
I feel we can safely assume that tuning the JVM GC might cause behavior that’s pathologically slow but never actually incorrect, which is inherently safer than rewriting a bunch of production code (probably more than once) hoping for a similar result.

> I always find articles like this very interesting, because what they're talking about is manipulating the worldviews, sentiments, desires, minds of people, and therefore behaviors, which is the ultimate goal. This is very intimate, and military people discuss it matter-of-factly.

If you look at the world, such feeling is not only prevalent, it's actually far more disturbing than you think.

For example, all ads industry is built on manipulating human emotions. And surfing the web, you are forced into so many such abusive staff every single seconds.

Look at the web content as well. When people staring at their phones, they are bring manipulated in the literal sense.

And you'll find every one of these AD's producers have a matter of factly explanation, or even glorified one.

Surprising?

Not at all. Karl Max predicted this inhumane end of the capitalism more than a century ago.
> a stable endowment and a pile of public service contracts and has never had a layoff is more interesting to me than knowing that the odds of me still having a job in the 2030s, if I still want it, is well above 90%

I've had 3 people from my close circle die off in the past 6 months. One of them my age, left behind a spouse and two kids. That really changed my perspective. If I'm gonna spend most of my waking hours labouring away in a cubicle away from home then I at least want it to be meaningful. I'm not going just to tick-tock my life away doing meaningless shit for boatload of money that I may or may not get to use eventually.

For reasonably dynamic careers and standard way of life (like mine), I feel that there are plateaux in "quality of life".

When you are out of school a change of 1000€ per year means nicer vacation. Go for it.

The same 1000€ is something I would not even consider. I am at a plateau where it requires significantly more money to change your way of life, and the 1000€ would not be perceptible.

Maybe that of you add the "retire early" part it may make sense to optimize your income, but it is too late for me anyway.

Being the experience you're meant to have doesn't follow when you consider something like https://youtu.be/E_Z9lvWbfFU where a player is telling developers how theit game works, and they've got no idea how he's jumping through the levels.
