This currently does happen, the quota has thus far been in the opposite direction. So how would that underrepresented person feel? The best person to ask may be the people that have been at the receiving end of the existing unwritten quota.
>I anecdotally recall studies that found organizations with greater diversity deliver better financial results

While that may be true, it isn't the case that more diversity necessarily makes a more profitable organisation. It's also a pretty dangerous game to play; diversity policies can be, and often are, implemented in a ham-fisted or corrupt way that destroys value.

Simply look at the havoc that BEE has wreaked on South Africa's economy and especially the public service.

> Executed by the representatives of the "great Russian people", spawned by the "great Russian culture".

> Just for being Ukrainians

Facing a similar problem, I opted to buy a Synology and leverage the Synology Photos app in their 7.0+ OS release. This was the best solution for me for a few reasons:
- Reach feature set in the app
- No subscription fees to Synology after initial purchase
- Tons of storage (I’ve got 2x 6TB drives in a RAID1 configuration)
- Self-hosted, but not “too” self-hosted
- Mobile apps with auto-backup like Apple Photos
- Support for automatic offsite backups (I use AWS Glacier)
Well, I for one believe and amuse myself with the findings of this paper. It reminds us that nature is not a divinity of perfection working in our favor (if anybody had any doubt at this point, that is).

It's nice, but the citation bit strikes me as very non-free:

> If you use --will-cite in scripts to be run by others you are making it harder for others to see the citation notice. The development of GNU parallel is indirectly financed through citations, so if your users do not know they should cite then you are making it harder to finance development. However, if you pay 10000 EUR, you have done your part to finance future development and should feel free to use --will-cite in scripts.

> If you do not want to help financing future development by letting other users see the citation notice or by paying, then please consider using another tool instead of GNU parallel. You can find some of the alternatives in man parallel_alternatives.
After '00, the market was flooded with cheap discs.. Most of the bad ones were those.
I lost two of my close cousins, my aunt and my uncle to suicide (one by one, at Christmas each time) when I was a teenager, ~10 years ago.

I didn't feel anything at first, except guilt. I felt guilty because I was not feeling sad while others were crying around me. I felt guilty because we all felt that it was going to happen, but didn't do anything to prevent. The only survivor of the family, my cousin, never got over it, and after that she attempted suicide multiple times, surviving until last year.

I also felt a lot of guilt because at that time (and since then), I was depressive and had very frequent thoughts of suicide. I've seen first-hand what it did to my family, and to myself and I don't want to cause that for anyone.

These last years, I realized that I'm isolating myself a lot more, from friends, from my own family, from... everyone, because I don't want to hurt people : if it ever happens, the less people I know, the less damage it will do. And I can't talk of it to anyone I know.. I think of the guilt they would feel if it happened after I had told them of my intentions.

Since I was young, I've had this thing where I have lots of trouble handling my emotions, sometimes explode in anger and start being very violent to myself, wounding me and endangering my life. Since last year, I've managed to control this a lot more, and now I haven't hurt myself intentionally since 14 months.

It may seem like a good thing, and at first it did, but I feel like it was my way to express that something was very wrong and that I was thinking of taking my own life. Now I don't have that anymore, I cry everyday, never see anyone.

These dark thoughts start making me more and more anxious, each morning, every day. I've gone from thinking about the consequences to others, the usual thoughts about your own funeral, to thinking to my cold body rotting in this shitty room I rent, and becoming completely desensitized to that thought.

I don't know what to do. I feel like I'm stuck in "limbo". I don't enjoy life, I'd prefer quitting, but I'm unable to do that because I don't want to hurt my family & friends. But since I'm also completely isolating myself, I suppose it still hurts them.

I think that someday it will happen, it feels like I'm getting closer and closer each year. I've had a few moments where if it could have been easy, simple and painless, I know I'd have done it.

I don't want to be the death that someone couldn't get over. Ruined lives should not be transitive.
IIRC TrueNAS Scale uses it.

It has a K3S to deploy apps, defined in a certain format (both in their official repository and in custom repositories), and uses that snapshotter to manage layers in the underlying ZFS storage.

Edit: I've used it for a while, although not heavily, and haven't had problems so far.
Why is this title focused on LGBT people when its primary target is racial minorities?

Oh, it’s because gay people are easiest for the hordes of straight people to attack these days. Racial minorities, that’s more risky.
At the turn of the century half of my personal CD collection was mix CDs from friends. Someone broke into my 25 year old Toyota and took the CD wallet, spare change and the car battery.

That was 9 years ago but I still wish I had a backup of those mix CDs.

Sure it is. If a company's hiring process for a single candidate takes multiple months, that's bad. The candidate experience is critically important. We have five stages of our interview process, two of them involve speaking with multiple engineers. The whole process takes less than a month, as long as the candidate has time. In general, it's 2-2.5 weeks and that involves coordinating calls with engineers in the Americas, Europe and APAC.

If it takes longer, it's always an issue with coordinating with the candidate schedule. (this is my experience with my hiring process)

> drivers don't realize just how much their car usage is subsidized.[...]it's not even remotely close to cover the cost impacted on society.

Aren't car drivers, and their passengers, a very large portion of "society"? And even for those who never use a vehicle, don't they depend heavily on many other members of society who do, such as doctors, teachers, fire and police, food providers, and almost every other class of worker?

Are you saying that somehow the vast legions of car drivers/passengers out there are not part of society and therefore are not paying the true cost?

A tax break on any farmer that grows corn is a corn subsidy. It’s the classic definition of a subsidy in that it reduces costs to create something.

Often things are written so exactly one company benefits when they agree to build something like a sports stadium in exchange for zero property taxes for N years. If that subsidy isn’t large large enough they may also hand out cash.

If you think you get to choose in moments like this, you've had no experience with overwhelming grief.

You get to breathe. Usually. If you remind yourself, or someone reminds you.

You do not get to be magnanimous about the insensitivity of people who can't even bear looking at your pain and think there's something they can say that will make it go away.

A week for a single candidate interviewing with a US only company is entirely reasonable. I don't think two is bad either. I would not stay engaged with a company that took a month, the same way I don't stay engaged with a candidate that can't find time to schedule three or four calls in less than six weeks (I am more forgiving with candidates than I would be with companies).

This is worth saying again.

DO NOT use psychedelics without medical oversight if you're at rock bottom. You ideally need to be strong enough to take some unexpected punches, and be in charge of an open, welcoming mindset.

Reflective LCD's were used in quite a few early laptops. I used one for a long time. The issue was they were monochrome. It's color ones that didn't get traction, and everyone started wanting color screens. I've never used a Pixel Qi but I saw one briefly once. It was ok, I'd be interested in something that used it for power consumption and outdoor reasons, but iirc its colors were washed out compared with conventional TFT screens. That might be why they didn't catch on. Refresh might have also been too slow for video, dunno.
ECDSA in particular is very easy to fuck up (which Sony famously did - although there are plenty of examples of more subtle sidechannel attacks in, for example, the OpenSSL CVE history).

Although, that's more of a criticism of ECDSA than it is of ECC as a whole.

You don't need to look far for an explanation, it's right here in this discussion. Others do not see diversity of representation as an imperative.

Duplicate highlighter one-liner [Vim]
While I don't have much faith in general Level 5 self-driving car autonomy, I DO have faith in AEBS (automated emergency braking system) and other more-easily-implemented systems that would largely prevent the stupidest sorts of human errors (like running red lights, stop signs, A-pillar blind spots in turns from oncoming traffic/bicycles/pedestrians, etc.) Just... basic "harm prevention" tech would go a long way IMHO, like the system in Teslas that keeps the interior at a survivably-cool temp if it's hot inside, because loving parents can and do sometimes still forget their kids inside.

I have a friend whose stepfather just got T-boned a few weeks ago in #Floriduh by a guy who ran a stop sign "because I was running late for work and there usually isn't any cross-traffic at that intersection"... Until there is. "How to not take bad risks" is something I wish was taught in school, because people do not seem to understand how to evaluate risk (especially repeated low risk but with very bad outcome if it hits). Now my friend's father is still in the hospital as well, weeks later.

Sorry for venting. I'm really sorry you're going through this, I just wish we were already at the point of preventing these dumb errors by people.
There are low-cost options too:

I had fun years ago using the lens from a CD player laser as a microscope for my phone. The setup is dead simple: hold the lens with a bobby pin and attach it in front of your phone's camera with a rubber band. A portable microscope that records video!

There are also small plastic scopes about the size of a D battery (would recommend one with lights). Definitely toys, but uh toys can be fun too.
Fine. I'm mixing replies. A single month is still unreasonable. That's a bad candidate experience. That changes nothing about the number of people who interview you though, just how quickly.
There are specialized companies who claim to be able to recover data from just about anything. Probably expensive, though.

Perhaps those creating developer tools etc can aid this scenario by making their "cross platform" story Linux/MacOS/ReactOS or Linux/MacOS/Linux.Wine, rather than Linux/MacOS/Windows.

This might also facilitate developing cross-platform support for the Win32 option in a VM rather than on a live Windows machine -- e.g. a ReactOS VM. Besides avoiding licensing issues, some kinds of developer on-boarding could be facilitated by just pointing them to an available VM, rather than a gauntlet of environment setup.

In a sense, all this points toward an alternate reference implementation for Win32, or at least some subset, for some purposes. And/or a possible phrase: "ReactOS-First" development on Win32.
I had the opposite experience.

When I got a Switch BotW was the only game worth playing on the platform. I played it for over a year exclusively and had fun all the way.

I tried to play Elden Ring but I made the mistake of provoking an NPC and dying about 10 times until I figured out how to shake him off. Then I proceeded to die another 10-15 times on the next NPC and a dragon until I figured out how to run away from those. I gave up after dying again on the encounter that followed those.

Eventually I'll try to play it again but at the moment I'm sunk into Ghost of Tsushima which is awesome.

The depth of your ignorance of pain here is something I envy.

I hope you never encounter the blinding pain of sudden, devastating grief, and you never have to find out just how impossible it is to try to rise above anything in that moment, to choose anything in that moment.

You're not even sure your heart is going to remember how to beat because the world as you thought you understood it has just come to a screeching halt. The prospect that the next moment has the audacity to happen, and the one after that--that there's still a world at all now that this person isn't in it--doesn't even make sense.

And somebody on the internet is still going to tell you they know how you feel and you shouldn't choose to take their ignorant platitudes as insensitive.

It tells me everything I need to know that you still think it might be the right course to say this to someone anyway.
It's replacing etcd, which has essentially that model.
Thanks! So, I'll say that we are still tweaking and trying to get things just right but, as of the time of me writing this, here is the process:

- HR call 30 min.

- Talk to hiring manager (me) 30 min. Get to know each other and feel out if there is a mutual fit.

- Technical panel 1hr. Speak with several engineers on the team who share your discipline (front end or back end for example). Again no live coding. We just talk through stuff.

- Talk to the team PM. 30 min. Get a sense of how you collaborate with our product team partners to build new features in our application.

After that it's the usual comp negotiations, background, and reference checks. Assuming all that works out then hired!

We're hiring so, if anyone is interested in finding out more, contact info is in my bio.
