Pay transparency is great for business owners and other large employers. It makes it much easier to compress pay.

> Recent decades have witnessed a growing focus on two distinct income patterns: persistent pay inequity, particularly a gender pay gap, and growing pay inequality. Pay transparency is widely advanced as a remedy for both. Yet we know little about the systemic influence of this policy on the evolution of pay practices within organizations. To address this void, we assemble a dataset combining detailed performance, demographic and salary data for approximately 100,000 US academics between 1997 and 2017. We then exploit staggered shocks to wage transparency to explore how this change reshapes pay practices. We find evidence that pay transparency causes significant increases in both the equity and equality of pay, and significant and sizeable reductions in the link between pay and individually measured performance.

Zones -> Solaris/Illumos Zones

Jails -> BSD jails

They're software VMs. It's a lot like containers, yes.

The problem with containers is that the construction toolkit for them is subtractive ("start by cloning my environment, then remove / replace various namespaces"), while the construction toolkit for zones/jails is additive ("start with an empty universe, and add namespaces or share them with the parent").

Constructing containers subtractively means that every time there's a new kind of namespace to virtualize, you have to update all container-creating tools or risk a security vulnerability.

Constructing containers additively from an empty universe means that every time there's a new kind of namespace to virtualize, you have to update all container-creating tools or risk not getting sharing that you want (i.e., breakage).

I'm placing a higher value on security. Maybe that's a bad choice. It's not like breaking is a good thing -- it might be just as bad as creating a security vulnerability.
It’s also very easy to just give the higher paid person a different title.

Surely if they are worth 50% more, you can give them a better title to go along with it.

This feels like a weird point to make when solar power is as popular and growing as it is.

It's not that "they withhold them" - it's the sad fact that most companies only need a handful of very talented engineers and architects to solve the really big and exciting problems, but an army of developers to implement their LOB apps that are soul crushing.

Except, he already borders 4 (6 if you count Lithuania and Poland due to Kaliningrad) by land, plus Turkey by water), and if he conquered Ukraine the count would rise by 3, so let's call bullshit on that.

Also - he's a murderous, aggressive tyrant and a proven liar, so let's please stop giving him the benefit of doubt.

As I've been playing around with my Raspberry Pis, I've found this too. The hardware technical documentation is good, but, well, _very_ technical. There is a lot of very good information, but it's spread around in blog posts, forum posts (a lot of those), source code and comments, etc.

But not a lot of how-tos for intermediate stuff.

Hope to write up the stuff I'm working on once I figure it out :-)
The map of Eastern Europe and NATO expansion over the last 25 years makes the fact the Russia is a shitty neighbor very clear.

It's not that the US/NATO want to extend, it's that the countries of Eastern Europe seek protection from the mad neighbor to the east.

Thanks for the feedback! The book's info page doesn't have a lot going on, except to see some info about the book (or add it to a shelf, or recommend it to a friend) and see if any of your friends have read it.

Your comments about Goodreads and the average random person's opinion is spot on and one of the inspirations for wanting to build something new. I noticed that its my actual friends and family -- not necessarily a random person -- that have the biggest impact on what I read next. A book rec from a friend you respect goes a long way. Booqsi is attempting to harness some of that.

Not being an EV owner or someone seriously considering getting one enough to research the cost of a "full tank". Does that full tank charge (in $$ not volts) come out to the same if it's a super/hyper charger vs charging at home? I'd assume using it would be more expensive at a public charger since it is a business providing a service so markups on electricity would be expected. Just hadn't thought of it in those terms before.

Bypass idea 1: exfiltrate data to known hosts. For example, "github.com" is likely whitelisted - so post stolen credentials as an issue comment in a little-known repository? Or maybe push the stolen data to some repo?

Sure they can but it is not the only thing they do. It is well known that companies often collude with each other and engage in "salary fixing". For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Tech_Employee_Antitrust_L...

Also they have the money to buy information from various information aggregation companies which collect salary information from more reliable sources. They do not have to rely on (inherently unreliable) self reported figures from glassdoor etc.

If anything, I got the impression Dan had a pretty good handle on the technical aspects of Cruise and the path forward for the company, and that the GM CEO fired him because she didn't like what she was hearing from him. Dan wanted to pursue expanding Cruise robotaxis, while Mary Barra wanted to find ways to integrate Cruise's technology into consumer GM cars - that's not how Cruise/Waymo/Zoox-style robotaxis work, and any such integration would necessarily involve rewriting a huge portion of the stack.

There was also reporting that Kyle was offered this role immediately after Dan was fired but turned it down, opting to remain interim CEO while they searched for a replacement. Looks like something has changed, or they couldn't find a suitable replacement.
Apologies if am misreading the last paragraph, assuming it meant that it's hard to find the Pico, that was the case for a while but the situation is now much better, e.g. Adafruit has 56 in stock:
https://www.adafruit.com/product/4883

Admittedly, this is $1 more expensive than the $4 baseline board since it also comes with headers.

Just checked and DigiKey has about 17K in stock ($4 Raspberry Pi Pico): https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/raspberry-pi/SC09....

And that's leaving aside the slightly fancier boards that have the RP2040 and cost around $10, e.g. Adafruit Feather RP2040 etc.

The chip itself is not in any shortage, e.g. DigiKey and Mouser have tens of thousands/thousands in stock, etc.

If the parent is threaded, then yes, vfork() will be better. You could also use posix_spawn().

As to "becoming a user", that's a tough one. There are no standard tools for this on Unix. The most correct way to do it would be to use PAM in the child. See su(1) and sudo(1), and how they do it.

> I'm not really aware what happens when threads and forks combine. Does the v/fork() branch get trimmed down to just that one thread? If so what happens to the other thread stacks? It feels like a can of worms.

Yes, fork() only copies the calling thread. The other threads' stacks also get copied (because, well, you might have pointers into them, who knows), but there will only be one thread in the child process.

vfork() also creates only one thread in the child.

There used to be a forkall() on Solaris that created a child with copies of all the threads in the parent. That system call was a spectacularly bad idea that existed only to help daemonize: the parent would do everything to start the service, then it would forkall(), and on the parent side it would exit() (or maybe _exit()). That is, the idea is that the parent would not finish daemonizing (i.e., exit) until the child (or grandchild) was truly ready. However, there's no way to make forkall() remotely safe, and there's a much better way to achieve the same effect of not completing daemonization until the child (or grandchild) is fully ready.

In fact, the daemonization pattern of not exiting the parent until the child (or grandchild) is ready is very important, especially in the SMF / systemd world. I've implemented the correct pattern many times now, starting in 2005 when project Greenline (SMF) delivered into OS/Net. It's this: instead of calling daemon(), you need a function that calls pipe(), then fork() or vfork(), and if fork(), and on the parent side then calls read() on the read end of the pipe, while on the child side it returns immediately so the child can do the rest of the setup work, then finally it should write one byte into the write side of the pipe to tell the parent it's ready so the parent can exit.
My approach as well, sometimes snack at 11.

A buffer is _nobody's_ right. Not Russia's, not the US, _nobody_. Ukraine, Vietnam, you name it - those people aren't anybody's buffer, and no one has any right to speak of them that way. It's not up to Russia _or_ the US to decide these things. It's up to the citizens of Ukraine. This is what Russia fundamentally doesn't respect, but Europe and the West fundamentally does.

Yes, the US has done some horrible things in the past (see: Vietnam, somewhat less so Iraq), but Russia believes in "buffers" regardless of the desire of the inhabitants of those buffers, whereas the West believes (however imperfectly in practice) that countries should be self-determining.

In a way, the best proof of this is Europe's response to this invasion: at first, nobody was willing to get involved. When it became clear that Ukrainians themselves were fully committed to remaining sovereign, then the influx of cash and materiel began.

Vacancy truthers are one of the most incorrect groups around for how much they’re convinced of this. A house could be marked “vacant” if the owner is still moving in, or if the inside is gutted and uninhabitable, or if they just didn’t turn in their census form.

we had open levels at the previous company i worked for (70-ish engineers). if you asked certain seniors at the company, you could trivially get the mapping from level -> annual compensation salary/ISO grant.

positive experience IMO. it forces managers to “get it right” when it comes to performance reviews more often than what i’m used to at other companies. being a not-too-large company, the easiest way to get a higher level is to take on more responsibilities (not to just output more code within your team). that might differ from your own goals or expectations, so it’s great that you can look around and see for yourself what behaviors actually correspond to level/salary raises!
