For me, it was grabbing every bug ticket in the company. I just fixed bugs on top of whatever else was going on.

I learned all the ways in which bugs can appear, when to bring up potential issues ("if I fix this bug, our sales may drop by up to 25%"), how to find the causes of bugs, and how to fix them.

I think this makes you appear to be a better programmer, because you learn to look out for things that will increase/decrease sales, you can spot bugs before they're even merged into the codebase, and you can communicate technical issues well.

Note that I said "appear" because I bet most great programmers don't think they're all that great. Hell, I've done what I think is amazing work only to be told it is shit. I've also done what I think is shitty work and told it is great (or maybe they're just being nice and its shit, who knows). At the end of the day, if you're solving more problems than you're creating, you're succeeding.

> It's been stable to use and a joy to configure. X11 survives because of legacy and inertia, and I haven't looked back one second since the ~3 years I made the switch to Wayland/Sway.

Good for you, but I had the completely opposite experience. X11 just works for me without any serious issues, but the last time I tried Wayland a few months ago (on RDNA2) it was an unstable mess. Play a video with mpv? That's a crash. Firefox and some other applications I don't remember also had weird issues.
And Gnome seemed to be the only desktop that was somewhat usable (except for all the crashes...). KDE still felt quite incomplete and others would not run at all (Hikari just made my screens flicker).

There are a few things that really make me want to switch, but in the end I always end up back with X11.

> Last year we had a great public example of why eliminating attack surface should always be prioritized over legacy support.

That's obviously not a good rule as stated, since the best way to follow it to run "rm -rf /" everything, which will give you zero attack surface and zero legacy support.

A more reasonable formulation is: legacy support should not always be prioritized over eliminating attack surface.

A philosopher said that humans are featherless chickens. If we compare humans to animals, the most different is the one that has no limbs. Some can easily kill a man without violence sending him to the afterlife, maybe some hallucinated while poisoned, so people made a connection between snakes and spirits.
Finding something else pleasurable to do instead helps me avoid my vices. A lot of the time wanting to get intoxicated is an excuse for taking a break or spoiling myself. Instead of buying alcohol, buy some other delicious drink or food - maybe cook something yourself or make some nice lemonade. Read a good book, watch a movie, go on a trip, catch up with a friend. Put in the effort to have more wholesome, meaningful fun instead of being lazy and going for what seems like the easy, low-effort pleasure you get from taking substances, eating junk food or doomscrolling. Make relaxation and fun times a priority and resolve to do them right. This works much better for me than grit and stoicism.
Thank you for correcting this! (I get the same numbers as you for a million elements).
I doubt it, but would be happy to see the data proving the opposite.

Just for comparison, in top-of-the-shelf socialist Sweden there are 30k homeless people per 10 million population. It matches pretty well to 500k of homeless people in the USA.

According to Wikipedia, Air Nostrum "currently operates as a franchisee of Iberia as Iberia Regional [...]. Air Nostrum operates 91 domestic and international routes to 51 destinations, and charter flights. Its main base is Valencia Airport, with hubs at Barcelona Airport and Madrid-Barajas Airport".

Decarbonizing short haul flights is great, but wouldn't trains be better suited for this purpose? Especially if you consider the extra infrastructure that needs to be built at airports which will be served by these airships - concrete production also generates a lot of CO2...

This is a practice that will be regulated soon for profitable companies. Sure, a company undergoing severe layoffs/bankruptcy will be forgiven for this practice. One of the most profitable companies in the world will not be.

I suspect we'll soon see breakup clauses in job offers for senior hires, or direct regulation requiring the company to pay at least X weeks compensation if they break the offer. This will probably have the side effect of terminating contract to hire practices at companies.

Moved to Bali, big health and fitness scene there, trained BJJ for 2 years. Quit drinking for 3 months for first time in my life and it flicked a switch in my brain, I don't binge drink anymore. Granted I do drink alcohol but I don't have the need to binge, also hangovers are too rough now, had a couple of pints the other day and had a headache next day.

I get awful hangovers so that's what prevents me mainly. Can't imagine what it would be like if you were one of these people that just don't really get them. I have friends that can have 10 drinks and be fine the next day. Crazy.
E-bikes are interesting because they are a hack.

The way most people use E-Bikes is as an unlicensed motorbike. Every city is full of food gig-workers who need a super cheap motorbike they can ride on the pavement. That's what they are for.

If Apple made an e-bike, they'd have to follow regulations. Most people don't want a legal e-bike. They want a motorbike they don't have to insure for a very low cost. They want to go at 20 miles an hour without pedaling.

Apple can't make an e-bike, just like they can't run a pirate movie website.

I had issues with file locking when running some legacy database software on NILFS2. Probably caused data corruption in that database (not the FS itself).

SF website of NILFS2 suggests that there are some unimplemented features, one of them being synchronous IO, which might have caused that issue?

https://nilfs.sourceforge.io/en/current_status.html

In some cases, the NILFS2 is safer storage for your data than ZFS. So NILFS might work for some simple usecases (eg. localy storing documents that you modify often), but it's certainly not ready to be deployed as generic filesystem. It's relatively slow and sometimes behaves bit weird. If something goes really bad, the recovery might be bit painfull. There is no fsck yet, nor community support. NILFS2 can self-heal itself to some extent.

I really like the idea of NILFS2 but at this point i would prefer patch adding continuous snapshotting to ZFS. Unlike NILFS2 the ZFS have lots of active developers and big community. While NILFS2 is almost dead. The fact it's been in kernel for quite some time and most people didn't even noticed it (despite it's very interresting features) speaks for itself.

Don't get me wrong. I wish that more developers get interested in NILFS2 and fix these issues and make it on par with EXT4, XFS and ZFS... But still ZFS has more features overall, so we might just add continuous snapshots in memoriam of NILFS2.
Just a bit of practical advice. If you want to go to a party but you are worried about your own behavior because there will be drinking, just show up at least an hour late. By then most people are inebriated, and they won't notice/care that your glass contains something alcohol-free, and you will get cheap entertainment re. how people really act when they are inebriated.

I read this as:

IF loop variable syntax had been redefined years ago

It seems from this thread that what they meant to say was:

THEN impact would have been larger
This is obviously extremely disturbing to those who were looking forward to relocate and might have already taken irreversible steps to make it happen, but what would be even worse is if...

- Meta had to reduce head count and would layoff existing staff whilst still bringing in new staff from oversea

- Meta would relocate people only to lay them off shortly after

It's not ideal, but perhaps this highlights how important it is to include a clause in the contract that says if employer changes their mind X weeks before intended relocation then they owe Y amount in reimbursement. If an employer refused to include such a clause then at least one knows that they might not put the money where the mouth is when they make an offer.

I would say that the NL model of decrimilisation without legalisation doesn't work. Largely because of it NL has a big gang problem, and one of the highest murder rates in Europe. Now fully legalise drugs, give them out for free for all that I care, that's the only way to kill the organised crime around it.

I would also be interested in which drugs you believe are worth decriminalising and which ones you deem to dangerous. There are generally a lot of misconceptions about the health effects of (especially hard) drugs in particular compared to some legalised ones (alcohol has extremely strong health effects).
The 2 reasons I drink:

1. I'm bored.

2. I drink when I go to bars to meet people and have interesting conversations. While I can make conversation with anyone, many people aren't that interested and it's boring to sit around waiting for something to happen.

I have hobbies but they aren't something I want to do at 8PM on a Friday or Saturday.

I only drink on Friday and Saturday and I rarely get hungover.

- A web app is more versatile, as many users are running this and then accessing the client via other laptops & devices in the house. Understand your point, but not a priority. We do have a GUI mode that runs it in flask, but I don't think that's what you're getting at ;)

When taking a dump on the US, whether it's the rate of maternal death, incarcerations, prison conditions or school shootings or whatever, it's usually only relevant to compare to a subset of rich and democratic countries.

Of course there are places with more murders and worse prisons. The question is if it's reasonable that the country with one of the highest GDPs per capita and the best universities in the world does.

Pick any specialized business app.

It doesn't really need to be all that specialized --- for example, US payroll. Every business with employees needs this. The few FOSS options that exist are mostly focused on countries outside the USA where things are much simpler.

US payroll is complicated by the fact there are 50 different state tax authorities and a multitude of private industry deductions and requirements --- 401K contributions, court ordered garnishments, time off accruals, etc.,etc.. Plus keep in mind that all this is subject to change on an on-going basis and failure to keep up with the changes can incur significant penalties and interest.

Once you start looking into it, you come to realize and appreciate how/why business is unlikely to ever be fully served by FOSS. Proprietary/for profit software will always play a significant role.
I go through spans of a few months where I ramp up to drinking heavily punctuated by years where I don't drink at all. The most difficult part of alcoholism is recognizing when I've become an alcoholic.

As soon as I do, I quit. I already recognize that drinking just makes everyone a sloppier, worse version of themselves, so I harbor no illusions that I am doing anyone a disservice denying them an opportunity to test their tolerance of me.

I'm also a mostly private drinker. I don't do bars or drinking culture, so there's little social pressure. I also make sure I'm never the only person to have had a drink. It's not a secret, just nothing to celebrate.

I've been on a dry spell for the past two years, and, as always, I don't miss it. I'll probably go another five years before I have more than a beer in a week, largely because my SO and I have a poor dynamic when alcohol is involved. We still keep alcohol around- we just end up cooking with it, instead.

My high level advice is to spend enough time not drinking that you really appreciate your health and clarity when you're sober. You're not alive for long, and alcohol really doesn't add anything of value to it.

Sketch lays off over 80 people
As I get older the hangovers get even worse to the point of affecting the entire next day, sometimes two days, from drinking heavily.

So I listen to my body and never have more than two drinks a night.

This means a glass of wine or one martini at dinner, or a beer at a concert is fine. A bottle of wine or rounds of cocktails is not.

Replace the extra drinks with:

- water or soda water
- coffee (decaf at night)
- non alcoholic drinks. This is the future of social drinking imho
- chocolate, ice cream or other dessert
- cannabis

All make me feel good and are fun socially and none have the hangover.

Thanks for showing us your very progressive view of the poor.

Drug addicts need help and that has nothing to do with housing, same goes for people with mental health issues.
I felt this way for a very long time and have made similar choices. I simply can't get myself to consistently go out on runs, or work out on gym machines. That said, out of sheer chance I discovered an enjoyment of powerlifting and swimming and I've been able to keep those up, and even look forward to doing them. Perhaps it's a matter of finding the exercise you can tolerate.
