If I'm interviewing with a future teammate, then they should know what the contract is. If the company is so big that they have bespoke employment contracts, then the first interview is usually HR.

As far as the person im replacing, that's more of a poker move to feel out if there is a toxic boss driving people away. Perhaps a better way to do that would be to ask about the turnover rate for the team/department/company?
It's not in the codebase proper, but the Linux Test Project https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp is probably a good place to start to see what's currently being tested for a syscall and to add new tests if there's a gap. https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/tree/master/testca... is some tests of this particular syscall.
Yeah, this one is really hard for the non-natives :)
We recently moved our entire app deployment over to Fly and are mostly loving it, but one of the mildly janky features is hallpass. For instance, (1) connections often fail if you have X forwarding enabled (even if you did no specifial config on the machine), and (2) port forwarding doesn't work. While these aren't really a big deal since (1) you can just disable X forwarding in ssh_config and (2) port forwarding is unnecessary if you can tunnel in via Wireguard, it makes me wonder why a native SSH server isn't used with a small script to manage the required config changes.

While on the topic, we're also eagerly awaiting improved autoscaling (e.g., more responsive, using additional metrics, and scaling down properly). I'd be really curious if you could leverage the more detailed access to instance-level metrics to implement some cool new queue-theoretic modeling: You know roughly how long it takes for an app to launch, you know the current request rate, and you know the time to service requests. You could apply a lightweight Markov model to predict the probability of a given queueing delay in each region within the average launch time and, if so, preemptively launch a new instance before queueing delays even occur. This could be configured to balance a client's tolerance for queueing delays with over-provisioning budget.
This is the only honest argument for this.
> If I had my way, we’d do a progressive flat-tax; going as high as 75% for anyone making more than 1 million a year with NO returns or deductions whatsoever

"Progressive flat tax" Those two things are the opposite of each other.
This is my analysis too. We're hitting a phase-shift where behavior of the system becomes non-linear due to these types of factors.

A breakup is a time when it's pretty much mandatory to discard old passwords, and even old accounts (website accounts, bank accounts, email accounts, etc, etc, etc).

Yep, proof of storage is the only way forward as far as I'm concerned. At least of the currently available options. But they aren't great for representing a ledger. Some sort of hybrid is needed.
yes. but perhaps more apropos I am old enough to have met some of the women programmers (not calculators) from the earlier generation when I started in the 80s. its completely anecdotal, and you may attribute this to many factors, but the likelihood that someone I met was more competent, informed, and/or more clever than I was greater for females than males.
I had a really cool job opportunity to implement cool technology in a novel field but I rejected it for two reasons:

1) My immediate manager was dressed in incredibly expensive clothing in the interview,
2) He said we didn't need Linux, we could afford to use Mac.

I went down a rabbit-hole last year trying out different MUAs and configurations, searching for that perfect setup. I like CLI interfaces and I wanted something where search was not as painful.

It was a nice distraction, then I realized that I only spend a few minutes each week reading email. It's just not a significant part of my workflow, either professionally or personally.

> It is about them having a voice that reaches other Canadians, including non French Canadian ones.

Does it actually?

Not that long ago we basically got a completely different sales and marketing team for that region; we were advised to basically treat it as it’s own thing. From my visits it’s quite… insular. I recall their newspapers having news from the province on the front page, then a page about the US and then Canadian/International news.

> And that would also include having voices for Ontarians, yes even truckers, or anyone else who shows interest to broadcast content, they can go to the CRTC and ask for a spot

Ahh, so they have to go vet their content and opinion to a government official before getting a government approved broadcasting right. First amendment as long as you get the government’s approval!
> What is the propaganda they want to push? To what end?

Propaganda is not just about "pushing" a message but also about smothering discussion. In fact, pushing a message via something like Tiktok is ham fisted, what the Chinese government can do instead is stifle any discussion related to topics that they consider "dangerous". For example, shadow banning any tiktok videos related to the Uighur genocide.

They can blame any manipulation on some ranking algorithm.
General aviation needs defrosting aswell!
Miniaturization has never been realistic with tritium fusion anyway due to neutron production - you need several metres of material to stop them, otherwise your reactor is just kicking off radioactive oxygen into the atmosphere.
Well yeah, I think we should industrialize it, make nuclear fission reactors serial. I don't think what we're doing is sufficient either.
Kernels written in C are often full of gotos. There's nothing wrong with gotos per se, it's only harmful if that's your (or one of your) primary means of control flow, e.g. because you don't have other good options. BASIC for example had that problem back in the day.

It is possible but prefer not to risk my account with that. And I don't really like accepting money on online for anything. So would need to find something with SEPA transfer.
One of the (growingly scant) bonus side-effects of having social media is that consumers now tie brands to their identity.

This means that the brands of traditionally maximize-profits at all cost at least have to make efforts to demonstrably align with consumer ideals, if they want to continue to profit. It's far from perfect but still a far cry better than before.
Or Knuth's take on it: https://pic.plover.com/knuth-GOTO.pdf [pdf] Structured Programming with go to Statements. Which helps to clarify why go to statements are both useful and worth minimizing, from a person who makes extensive use of goto statements in a lot of their code.
I used to teach calculus in university and I would always find a way to tell my classes how much a plumber makes just to show up at your house and their hourly rate. Almost without exception they were amazed that they would make less as an engineer unless they got lucky and were hired by a top end firm. Definitely the local shipyard which hired most of our graduates couldn't compete with that rate.
You might be right, but this analogy to impressionism is an uncompelling argument for me, repeating it doesn’t help me. A lot of older people report feeling like 24fps looks higher quality and more realistic than 60fps, that 60fps feels campy or faked or just “strange”. That isn’t well explained by your posts at all. Being used to realism is a real confounding factor here, since realism doesn’t come in 24fps.

Like many people, I experience some negative reaction to high frames; watching LOTR in 48fps was like watching BBC. But I’m just not convinced that this is something true or fundamental about frame rates, it does feel like the preference might be learned.

And like I said, there seems to be real evidence for this learned association that your argument is completely ignoring. People growing up now who’ve watched 60fps TV and YouTube a lot don’t seem to have the same reaction. How do Brits feel about high frame rates? I’m going to ask a few, I’m not sure I ever have, and it might be informative here. Personally, the strangeness of 60fps has been waning over time, and that seems to support the idea that I was biased to 24 by years of moving watching.
> China is not a good faith operator.

Well, neither is the USA and its NSA and its Five Eyes and all these actors who spy on pretty much everything and everyone. American companies are either complicit or blissfully ignorant. They violate the constitutional rights of their own citizens, principles their own country was literally founded upon, so there's no telling what they'd do to a foreigner. People are so afraid of them when they talk security they just assume you won't be taking them on.
I've found that in critical "must work" code with lots of edge/failure cases that goto is sometimes a pretty robust solution.

Also, apart from straight-line functions it's hard to avoid goto at the machine code level.
Was the pay terrible too? As a Mac is a lot cheaper than a developer.
There is a bigger issue at play here that ties in these platform exclusive software stores with the right to repair movement. These companies have convinced the general public that buying their products only entitles you to have the priviledge of using their products.

This is all done using the excuse that they are curators that want to give you the best possible experience. It has worked wonders too because now we debate not with these companies and their hired help but with others who have been screwed over just like us but are thankful for the experience.
Good news, everybody!
Thats a good list. The questions are pretty specific. Interviews are 2 ways. As an interviewer realize the applicant can reject the job if they don't feel like its a good fit.

I've asked a couple questions the past few interviews when looking for a job:

- What do like about working here.

- What could be better, or what are the pain points of working here.

They're been pretty honest about those things.
Explain the relevant fundamental difference please.
These words are used interchangeably, you need to specify exactly. The main distinction is does it have a MMU or not.
The bigger question I would be asking right now is if it happened this time with 40, who is to say it won't happen with 100 next time and what is being done to prevent it in the future?
Do you take issue with the "designed" part or the bit about "a committee of PhDs?"

That happened when I created a twitter account a year and a half ago. Their explanation was obviously bullshit, as I had not posted even a single comment with the account. I felt peeved, so I filed daily complaints with customer service, and they eventually relented. (It's been a while, so my recollection is hazy, but I think it took a couple of weeks.)
How could they tell you were on that subreddit? Presumably you were doing it from a separate browser on the phone -- can they really snoop on behavior in completely separate apps?
I find that it is usually purchasing power which results in respect and social standing. What are examples of the opposite, that do not involve being related or networked to someone who does have purchasing power?

If most plumbers started earning top 10% wages in the US, they would have similar social standing to doctors. Even doctors have probably moved down in relative status, where the new ones are basically W2 employees with metrics for a big company.
A good couple of questions I've found that are very indicative of how things work is

1. How does budgeting work with your group? Who controls the budget they get?

2. How are priorities set on the team?

3. Who is the customer of your team, not your company but your team specifically is it sales, ops, finance, etc?

It comes from the idea that if you can discover the incentives you'll be able to deduce a lot more about the position.
AFAIK nearly all upholstry for the furniture most people buy is either fake leather of one sort or another, or some kind of boring synthetic fabric. Kinda like how all wall-to-wall carpet most people buy is synthetic fiber and not very interesting, until you get into stuff outside most people's price range, when things like wool and all kinds of weaves and styling and textures enter the picture. Below that it's like: How thick pile? Feel good on feet (if you're not used to better) because only cheap, or feel bad on feet because very cheap? With maybe some patterning considerations for very low-pile carpet. (to be clear, that's the price range I'm usually operating in when looking at that kind of thing, too—there's not much to get excited about)

I'd expect all the interesting choices with names that carry over into other parts of fashion not to enter the picture, with furniture, until you start to head into "designer" territory. The big overstuffed things out on the floor with price tags attached and big "SALE!" signs and such, seem rather same-y.
> Are boys more resistant to it now, or maybe more distracted?

Or perhaps parents are more distracted. Much has been made of how our digital age has made us, as individuals, more distracted and less connected to individuals in our life. For a parent, it doesn't seem unlikely that that would translate to being less invested in their child, or at least not as proactive in this kind of nudging.
Good question! My answer would be, not only will you be able to use Linux, you will have to use it. What does that tell you about my company? ;)

> You can point to the decline of organized religion and with it traditional gender roles, but then what explains the relative stability in post-Christian Europe?

As far as I can tell, Europe isn’t all that post-Christian. Even countries that have low levels of people actively practicing religion still carry a strong cultural legacy from Christianity: https://www.europenowjournal.org/2019/10/02/the-catholic-nes...

Counterintuitively, America’s lack of a generous welfare system tends to destabilize traditional gender roles. Among women with children under 18, 56% would prefer a “homemaker” role if they were “free” to do either: https://news.gallup.com/poll/186050/children-key-factor-wome.... Contrast with just 26% of men. 39% of women without kids would also prefer to stay home if they had the choice. Even out of women who are currently employed, but have children under 18, the majority would prefer not to work.

Contrast say the Netherlands. It is an egalitarian, post-Christian place, for example, but 60% of working Dutch women only work part time, versus 20% of working Dutch men.
Not all gotos are made equal. A hundred gotos jumping forward to the same cleanup/error tail is very readable and actually reduces complexity over alternatives - which it’s obviously why it’s used. In many languages this type of construct has the form of try/catch/finally but those are glorified forward gotos.

Seeing even one goto jumping backward would be much more surprising, and seeing what made gotos get their bad rep, overlapping goto regions, would be completely shocking in any quality code base.

"Emulation" evolved to mean virtual machine, now people are denying that wine or xterm are emulators.

"Operating System" evolved to require virtual memory and paging, now people are denying that MS-DOS was an operating system.

"Microprocessor" evolved to mean computing chips with MMU, im waiting for people to deny that the 8086 was an microprocessor because it does not have an MMU.

Basically everybody in the big cities there speaks English on a high level. Same as Copenhagen, Denmark for example.
As another reply touches on, there's a developmental process to romance. A guy in his thirties dating for the first time will have a seriously hard time because of his inexperience. I'm not saying that it's impossible at that point but missing the boat in your teenage years can stunt this development. I think Jordan Peterson has described this in one of his lectures (it's an interesting idea regardless of what you think of his character).
Mostly agree. Rather than a buy-time setting though, I think it should work like Chromebook dev mode. Put the option in the settings, but require a device reset/wipe to activate it. Then while the dev is in this mode show a message on every boot.
The same article you mentioned says that 56% of US/Canada users and 70% of Japanese users have iPhones.

I'd argue that monopolies should be judged on country and not worldwide. As each country has different iMessage popularity, apps restricted by region, earning power, phone availability, etc.

This was enjoyable to read, but I think the title paints travel in an overly dismal light. Perhaps a better title would be "Embrace the Box" or something of that nature. Even the author admits that travel is only a problem if you can't enjoy the present moment because you feel that you can't be happy until you travel (replace travel with money, having a relationship, etc and same idea).

Ultimately people should just do what they enjoy. For some that might entail a sedentary lifestyle, staying in one's hometown, marrying younger, taking a comfortable financially secure job, and/or living a more traditional life. For others it might entail moving around or traveling more, dating around more, pursuing more nontraditional hobbies and/or work, etc. There's nothing wrong with either so long as you're being honest with yourself, just do whatever you enjoy and don't feel like you need to fit into anyone's image of what an ideal lifestyle should look like.

A lot of happiness I think is a result of not having FOMO. For some people I think they need to actually live out their fantasy to realize that it's not the end all be all (I'm that type of person). At that point you either get depressed realizing that everything you ever wanted didn't make you happy and now you don't know where to search for happiness anymore, or you realize that you're not missing out on anything and there's no light at the end of the tunnel, so might as well make the best of life now.
Amps kill, not volts. Hence high voltage low amp Tesla coil spark shows.
I fail to see how that's an issue when other developers can make third-party clients if there's a significant demand for it. If Twitter/Facebook start forcing people to install their third-party store to access their app, then there's a massive opportunity to make a better app that's distributed through the App Store.
One difference: Apple is far more developer-hostile (or end-user friendly depending on your perspective) than Google, so someone like Facebook would be heavily incentivized to open their own iOS App Store and tell their users they must install that app from their store, in order to bypass constraints Apple enforces via their store.
You're absolutely right, but I don't think you go far enough. If a company is too large to ignore - if they insinuate themselves into "infrastructure" roles - then we need to treat them like government. They need to be subject to FOI requests. They need to justify that their work is in the public interest. They must not be permitted to "lobby" (i.e. bribe officials).

I can't see exactly how we do all this, but the root cause of many a social ill is that corporations are taking over social roles from government. This must be arrested, somehow, or we'll sleepwalk into the dystopian future of every damn 70s scifi film.
Serverless on AWS Lambda with Micronaut and Kotlin and Graal VM
That could definitely help. However, while I don't have the numbers, I'd expect that the required labor to disconnect them all would vastly exceed the 24-72 hour warning time.

Also, this would mean proactively shutting down the entire grid for days, at the first warning, then requiring days to restore power. So one warning would require a full week of zero power for the continent, and (I expect) saving only part of the grid.

But yeah, putting in some planning to do that would be a smart idea.
