My main desktop is Debian Stable. A few years ago I tried FreeBSD, but its desktop didn't work properly.

A couple of weeks ago I decided to try it again for an amd64 server and a Raspberry Pi (model 1), headless, without desktop.

The ports collection for the amd64 is extensive. Undoubtedly it is not is not as wide as Debian. FreeBSD had a binary port for Zig, which Debian doesn't have in any of its versions. The FreeBSD ports seem quite fresh, too.

The letdown for me is that the binary ports for the Pi 1 (which will also include the Pi 0) on FreeBSD was much more restricted compared to amd64. I don't want to get involved in compiling from source. I did try compiling Zig, and there seemed to be a problem with the version on llvm involved.

This means that for the Pi 1 I'm going back to Raspberry Pi OS.

FreeBSD vs Linux: they each have their pros and cons. A lot of the technical arguments on either side tend to be overblown. You pays your money and you takes your choice. But if you held a gun to my head and said I could only choose one, I'd choose Linux.

I'd say, though, that if you like Slackware, then you'll probably like FreeBSD more.

Any chance you can share the text in the email that says you can work remote? It might not matter but depending on that wording you may or may not have something to work with.

This is not the solution you prob want but if you are interested in a remote okay, top 15 levels.fyi comp role hit me up and let’s see if we can get you in where I’m at. Email in profile

Off topic but does this mean the pandemic is over? I’ve had a concern in the back of my mind that next winter we could end up back into lock downs. I really don’t want to be right, I would rather my employer force me back in than have this go on any longer.

However, luckily my employer seems to be committed to allowing us to work flexibly remote.
No, maybe this is the norm in the US, but this is not normal and we should not pretend it is.

In Canada, most defeat speeches I've watched were about the candidate mistakes, what they were proud of having accomplished, etc... Playing the blame game is pathetic.

If you want an example, Stephen Harper's concession speech in 2015 was pretty good.
> Security and Kernel-size

Oh yeah, since we care about security so much, let's have a whole fucking C compiler suite on every machine because what if we need to recompile the kernel to mitigate a potential problem that might not even be there!?

If you really care that much, you delete the modules and run depmod. It's fast and you don't need to have a compiler on hand.
Thank you Marijn.
Yeah, same in Austria. Energy prices on my provider are going up by 90%, many food items are up 50%+ since the start of the year, and outside of some grumbling in private conversations I've not heard much complaining.
Hi melony,

this is an interesting comment that carries some truth. May I ask where you are coming from to make to make these statements?

You are definitely right that one needs a larger, expensive capex based platform to make a dent with chemistry.

What combination of physical chemistry and *Umph/some other process would you look into?

Not that we have it bad here, compared to others, of course.

There's many more improvements to be made in single threaded performance, including things like JIT. Future improvements are complicated, they won't be a free lunch like this first round has generally been. My feeling is that things like JIT and nogil will start out as optional and work their way into the ecosystem over time where the performance implications are less severe for the general use case.
-That's a fair point, I guess it would look bad in their annual reports even if the cost of collecting that money would be larger than the actual owed amount itself.
Unfortunately, "gentrification" has literally become a four-letter word among Progressive activists. And that even more clearly the case in SF than anywhere else in the U.S.
I would like statistics around how many drug dealers started selling because it was a choice between starvation and drug dealing. In my own anecdotal view, many people get involved in that lifestyle in their early 20s and do it because they enjoy the popularity, drugs, and tax free income. I'm sure there are some that have "no other choice" but I would prefer to see some actual honest figures.
>What exactly is the point of this question other than to create outrage?

I mean, guidance, for one. "Talk to a lawyer" might not even have occurred to them yet despite it being the most common piece of advice in this thread.

I definitely didn't say that. At least three of my friends now do
those things. They're very happy. And they add a lot to the world, at
the least by the smile they wear each day.
You are missing all sorts of important information in this post. For example what country and or state do you live in? Really though you should go find a local employment lawyer and talk to them, as even if your contract says that you must do X that doesn't mean you actually have to do said thing depending upon your area's laws.
They have not. However I would expect it to even out in the near future. Real wages won’t stay down for long.

This is obviously incorrect.

But if you're making a statement about how many people you need to staff 24x7x365 operations, the exact same math applies to Linux.
Nice try, Tesla HR.
It's really quite nice to be able to telnet into a running micro-controller (over wifi even!), play around with pins directly, all that.

Being able to run code at runtime with no compile step also opens up the possibility of micro-controllers that can load "apps" or other user code at run time.

Somehow I don't think people would be this snobby about the advantages of an interpreted language if it was running lisp^1 instead of python. Of course to be fair if it was javascript they'd be twice as snobby and I'd agree with them...

I don't have advice, but sorry you have to deal with this frustrating circumstance. Hope you're able to get a new job quickly.
As they should be. Things like a 1,000% tax on weapons that leave them only available to the wealthy and the politicians should be immediately disregarded.
I guess it's funny in retrospect. I sell my own software and have to deal with these "confidently incorrect" people all too often. Seems like they are either mentally ill or have some kind of sociopathic personality. I'm thinking about quitting the game because of it.

I guess the "smart" thing to do would be to pay someone to deal with these people, but I really don't want to subject anyone else to the abuse. Not to mention that having another person on the payroll shifts the calculus of whether or not it is even worth it.

I thought I'd get used to it. But, after 10 years, it still makes my fight or flight response kick in. Every time.

At least I get paid to take the abuse. I can't imagine having to deal with it for an open source project. I guess it explains why so many open source project maintainers seem so testy.

Thanks for letting me air my grievances. I feel a little better :)
> That's right, and it was in 1990, several years before 1994.

And despite HN comments about modems, you probably remember that in 1990 John and I wired up my apartment building with direct Internet connections for a more civilized and usable environment. Though I think the first thing I bought online in 1990 was a La Costeña burrito.
This. I'm similar to OP (but I've got ~30 years of 'smaller' work/experience under my belt). I've never had problems picking up on a new language or framework; if you understand the underlying fundamentals, it's easier to pick things up.
This sounds a lot like "an old guy's excuse".

If you are 60 years old, you learned how to monitor your spending in the late 1960s.

Nope. But that is what you might believe if you try to turn to Kim Dot Com of a warezing empire to understand this.

Whatever decision you make, don't quit voluntarily - this is a way to get them out of paying unemployment or other benefits; Tesla is trying to do layoffs without satisfying the legal obligations of layoffs by tricking people into voluntarily quitting.

As others have also suggested, talking to an employment lawyer who can do a close reading of your contract would be Useful in this case too.
IMO sentences should scale with the harm done, not absolute dollar amounts. Violent crime with a real-life victim should always be treated more harshly than crime where the "victim" is a megacorporation's intellectual property.

If white-collar crime is big enough to where thousands of people lose their jobs, that is real societal harm and should be sentenced accordingly. But if someone decreases the profits of a monopoly from $5 billion to $4.999 billion, I'm a little less sympathetic.
Addressing the energy cost of "large" but rare events is a remarkably low leverage way to improve environmental outcomes.

Alongside training AI models, Spaceflight is the other issue that comes to mind. These things look bad because of "big" numbers or plumes of soot coming out of engines, but when added up they account for such a small fraction of emissions that they won't be useful focuses for a long time.

Focusing on them now detracts from places where we can have real impact: human transport, cargo transport, food production, clothing manufacture, carbon capture, and so on.

The last line shows their intention is good faith and on the side of the common people. There’s no proper way to interpret their comment as a bad faith making fun of people.

The comment happens to be against the status quo and for the every day person and that has a higher chance as being seen as something that is unusual and more negative than it actually is.
Or, pick two words that are not connected in any way. If you Google them as a phrase search you get nothing or close to nothing back: "word1 word2". Examples from 2 minutes on Godaddy:

You're justifying my point! There is no reason (other than historical) why this should be a Bourne-flavored shell script compared to any other scripting language. You could just as well write this in Lua or Scheme. Even the fact that there is runtime information embedded in the comments should be a big red flag that the wrong tool was chosen for this purpose.
Well, the article gives some reasons for the "anti-bulletproof glass" sentiment:

> The original motivation for the ban was apparently that such barriers were seen by some as "an indignity" (perhaps with a racial dimension, since many of the customers of the stores are black and many of the owners and employees are Asian).

Also, as a tourist, if you see e.g. policemen with machine guns instead of regular (or no) guns, or police cars looking like this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_Rover_Tangi instead of regular cars, does that make you feel safer, or does it make you want to avoid that area in the future? And I can imagine seeing bulletproof glass in all stores you visit has a similar effect...
"Actions speak louder than words," as an adage I think applies here. "Words are cheap," is another one.

>you don’t say “a homeless person”; you say “someone experiencing homelessness”

This is San Francisco's version of "thoughts and prayers." I suppose it would be better for overall humanity if we still called them "bums," but actually did something to help them.
Be careful, Tesla and Elon Musk aren’t known for handling employee disagreements well. There are multiple reports of rage firings, intimidation, wire tapping employee phones, and even SWATing a whistleblower.

That's a bizarre one. I will agree that it is strange and unnerving to be in one of these places with bullet proof glass as a customer and does imply you are in mortal danger. But there are plenty of businesses that disgust me and I wouldn't go into again so it seems to me like laws to post warnings about video surveillance and/or these barriers are sufficient and constitutional.
Well, depends on how much tax was dodged. But yeah? Having to pay back the tax plus a steep fine seems like a good solution for that one for less than some amount. Probably cheaper than sticking someone in prison, too.

(Keeping in mind for the rich, a lot of tax dodging is legal, like non-dom status, so...)
> After a week or month many of these packages will get updates sometimes making this CentOS system unusable or even unbootable (recent GRUB Boothole problem for example).

Exaggerating a niche case doesn't do it any justice. I usually use Ubuntu but never had the system become unusable with package updates for 15 years.

People say FreeBSD is more integrated but never felt it brings any benefit from user's perspective. Tried to like FreeBSD by using it on a personal server on several occasions but I see no reason to use it anymore because it lacks Homebrew and Docker which is becoming more essential to make a comfortable environment with modern tools and apps.

The only better part is zfs integration but Ubuntu also has a very painless integration of zfs, I see no advantage at all.

> When using systemd(1) you never know how the services gonna start because it will be different each time.

What is this guy talking about?
Apparently the article is heavily biased only trying to make it look like FreeBSD is saner but apparently not.

The phrase 'rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic' is appropriate here.

The problems are a lot more regional than the national political media would have you believe, because SF is not an island in the ocean. The East Bay and the South Bay are all in similar economic conditions. There's been an uptick in homelessness in the once-suburban commuter cities, and if those places can't provide services then migration to SF is one possibility because more services are provided in the city. People might be able to get a hotel room in SF, for example.

"New data shows explosive growth of homelessness in these Bay Area suburbs, May 2022"

https://www.sfchronicle.com/eastbay/article/east-bay-homeles...

One of the main political flashpoints in SF is this: nobody wants homeless services in their neighborhoods, and the wealthier the locale, the more political power they have, and so that's where you'll see police responding to homeless mental health incident disturbances. The result is a ridiculously wealth-stratified city, with the police basically being asked to serve as a barrier between the wealthy regions and the poor regions.

This isn't even something the state of California can address: if all the money in the state went into providing housing and services for the bottom rung of society, and no other state did that, you'd again have the migration problem. See the Great Depression and 'Grapes of Wrath', for example. Indeed, it is an international problem as all the desperate poor people seeking entry to the USA over the past decade demonstrates.
There’s no country that has blown things up and given power to the people. So there’s no precedent to look at.
Tesla's case is different. It's been widely speculated and with good reason that "getting rid of 10% of the workforce" and "everyone back to the office or they will be considered having abandoned their jobs and fired" are strongly connected.

While at it dont forget TinyGo.
Im a hobbyist occasionally working on potentially commercial ideas. ARduino is great to start learning. PlatformIO i found very supportive with tools for everything I needed and wide board support.
Used to code a lot in Python.
My next project i will use TinyGo to see the degree of correspondence with full desktop Go and beyond that im inclined to try Ada next as for bare metal code the idea of using Ada just seems to make a whole lot of sense given its application to control systems over the decades.

> I don't know anything about UK law, but what on earth is a "private prosecution"?

The same thing it is in the United States. When you're taken to court by something other than the state.

If Kentucky sues you, it's a public prosecution. If I sue you, it's a private prosecution.

Google could have explained this.

.

> In USA you have a criminal prosecution brought by the state.

Not usually, no.

.

> Anything else would be a civil lawsuit

A private prosecution is a civil lawsuit if it's a lawsuit.

Not all prosecutions are lawsuits. If I take you to court for breaking a contract, your private prosecution will be a lawsuit. If I take you to court for shooting me, it will be different.
This sucks and perhaps if you talk to your manager they’d be willing to accomodate to your specific case. If no other option remains open, rather than quitting by Friday you could play along and quit when the move deadline comes close in August. This will give you more time to look for something else. Good luck to you and others in this situation.

During the pandemic I worked from home for about a year but had to return to office eventually (and got covid-19 twice, luckily it wasn’t too serious). However, some folks were accomodated to work remotely permanently depending on their situation though a few were forced to quit.

CodeMirror powers a ton of editors that people use: https://codemirror.net/5/doc/realworld.html

It's exhausting to tailor language to the comments section. I once wrote a post called "the best programming font" and all the comments were about how it was not provably scientifically the best and it was just "my opinion." We're not writing math proofs here, let people express thoughts.
what can you specifically use this model for?
That's sort of the model that systemd uses (used?). However, non-trivial setups that attempt to use it tend to degenerate into very complex beasts, for various reasons, including:

- Unit properties can be specified both ways. For example, an unit can specify both that it should start after another unit (After=) and that it should start before another unit (Before=). So if you have two units, B can start after A either because B's definition includes After=A, or because A's definition includes Before=B.

- Order and dependency is specified separately. If B depends on A (specified by Wants=A in B's definition) that does not, in fact, guarantee sequential start.

- Some properties only apply to some systemd units. For example, Before= dependencies don't (didn't?) apply to device targets.
San Francisco has had all the problems being blamed on the DA for decades. Things got worse during the pandemic in most cities, regardless of what DA they had. People act like Boudin personally emptied out the jails and stopped prosecuting anyone for anything but this is a ridiculous charicature - as you point out, the actual data says otherwise. He was enacting some reforms promised to us voters, and attempting to hold police more accountable turned out to be an outrageous notion to some. It hardly rose to the emergency people pretend it did, and for which the recall mechanism is intended. Far worse to me is that the police can do as they please and simply stop doing their job and get away with blaming someone else for the result. The recall process is being twisted into a do-over for wealthy interests who don't like an election result.
> If you have intrinsic interest in CS that will get destroyed pretty quickly because you may be put on to some super boring project.

Potentially unpopular opinion: This is why I’m actually very bullish on graduates from famously demanding colleges like Ivy League and other competitive universities. To graduate, you can’t just be smarter than average and coast your way through to graduation. You actually have to work hard and be able to self-motivate to do hard things even when it’s not intrinsically interesting.

That doesn’t mean that graduates from average colleges can’t work hard, of course. It’s just much harder to tell if someone has learned to work hard or if they just coasted through life up until this point if you can’t look at their resume and see any particularly difficult achievements.
