To be honest, it sounds like a contingency recruiter found you, made sure you were interested, and then pitched you to a hiring manager. The hiring manager maybe didn't want to deal with the recruiter for one reason or another. I get cold recruiter spam on a daily basis...

You might blame the recruiter instead of the company, in that case.

Try living in California. My $42K EV was closer to $600 for the registration.
Did it give you any significant discount? A few people I know that did something similar ended up saving $2 per year. If you bought a phone I'm guessing your discount was much higher.
It's true, and it's not great, but I think the flip side of this is that as I get older I find myself increasingly paying for the anti-social behavior of others.

There are lot of nice customer service things that are only possible if people don't abuse them: solid warranty/return programs, high quality phone reps, etc. But you need people who adhere to the social contract, the kind of people who don't, say, buy a $3,000 TV for a single super bowl party and then return it.

I actually desperately want some way to tell many of these companies "I am a responsible human being who respects social contracts" - all solutions I can think of violate my privacy but we'll find out what's worse...

I mourn it. I've been typing '/etc/init.d/apache2 restart' for about twenty years now. Why change it?

Would it really be that hard to have a symlink from /etc/init.d/apache2 to /bin/systemctl and teach systemctl to do the right thing?
Amazing? Maybe. Surprising? Hardly.
Or maybe just too many of them would need to be addded. At that point tank weighted more than base motorcycle, baffles are used and "good enough" in bigger vehicles that have more wheels for stability.

Sponges are also commonly used in race bikes so I'd guess there are some advantages vs just building a tank with baffles

Most of them have never experienced the level of instability and insecurity of past computing either. Those improvements aren’t free. In the past, particularly with Windows (since this is what the videos recorded) it would be normal for my computer to freeze or crash every other hour. It happens much less today

Agreed. I think it is absurd that during an accommodation crisis we ignore the fact that a growing number of residences have essentially been removed from the housing stock and turned into short term rentals.

As I've said before, for any government serious about addressing the accommodation crisis, the first step should be to determine what proportion of residences are not currently being used as a primary residence. The next step would be to determine what those other residences are being used for (land banking, second homes, short term rentals, holiday homes, etc) and to then design policy based on this data.
That would be great in theory if everyone in Texas had an extra $50,000 to spare for this. Sure, there are ways to finance it, and yes, in theory it should pay for itself over time, but there’s no denying that this is a large sum of money for most homeowners, particularly with inflation hitting so hard these past few years.
One could argue that payment disputes are an artifact of credit cards. Before that there was no way to say "I don't like the product that I got, or it didn't arrive in time, so I'm cancelling the order". Once money changed hands, it was a done deal.

It’s stable and it performs well and it works on all my devices with hardly any fuss. It works better than the HBO app.

I’m not saying you’re wrong or your issues are invalid, but I do think it is stable and capable, and they’ve done a lot of work to make it easy to use. A glance at the logs and you’ll see everything it’s doing to make it go smoothly. And it’s much better at this than it used to be.

A lot of "pirates" don't pirate movies and music because they don't want to pay for them, they do it because they want to own them and want an actually good and respectful user experience.

The biggest Plex users I know don't really pirate anyway. They mainly buy DVDs/Blu-Rays and rip them for use on Plex.
The reasonable and ethical engineering approach is to do one's best with models, simulations, first principles analysis and design something that works on paper. And then built prototypes, test the hell out of them. Without people inside. Standardize everything they can about manufacturing. If all looks good, they can operate. Never stop measuring and testing.

The operators decided this was too much work. They gambled and they lost.
Browser implementation teams actually do sometimes refuse to implement a feature of the applicable standards. It's pretty rare, though.

The Webkit team's refusal to implement customized built-in elements sticks in the mind, not least because their reasons (and inability to describe an alternative) always sound more like a vendor pissing contest than any kind of engineering discussion.
It's generally not; I've never understood the claim that either one is particularly "complicated". You either write a set of sh commands that start the service the way you want to or a unit file that has that shell command plus some random metadata crap about it. Neither of these options are particularly difficult and I've literally never understood why people want to die on either side of this hill.

The pain point was never "generating a textual representation appropriate to the init system"; the problem was always the underlying startup and teardown of the service itself.
I found it helpful to imagine the picture after the smaller coin has made one full rotation.

Let x be the angle that we have traveled along the larger coin. Now we notice there's some similar triangles, and x is also the angle that we have left to travel on the smaller coin. I.e. we traveled 2pi - x on the smaller coin.

But we know the edges were touching, so the arclength of these two angles must be equal.

3x = 2pi - x
x = pi/2

So going around the whole way, you can do 2pi/x = 4 rotations

I think it all comes back to people being upset about the Ubuntu PulseAudio switch. Ubuntu did a bad job when they switched to PulseAudio and caused lots of issues. Lennart Poettering was lead dev for both projects and it's weird how much the anti-systemd crowd get their panties in a bunch over him and also PA.
Out of curiosity, what happens after China sinks the carriers?
I don't get it either. Systemd units are so much more powerful and flexible than init scripts. Writing those bash scripts for everything was a complete pain in the ass.

You may disagree with the architecture or design decisions made with systemd, but I don't see how it's possible to argue that SysVinit was in any way actually "better".
Yes. 5-7 years ago I used to work for a vehicle telemetry SaaS company. It was explained to me that most of the Brazil market was for govt mandated tracking.
I implore you to watch the NASA UAP panel video, because not only do they explain that it's happened before, it's what they believe is the problem now.
I get that the real purpose of invoking "embrace, extend, extinguish" is to suggest shadiness and self-interested motives. Which, sure, you're allowed to suggest that. Maybe you're right, who knows.

But actually taking those words at face value...in what sense could systemd be described as "embracing" or "extending" any init system that came before it? Wasn't it always a from-the-ground-up different thing?
I think as a manager/company, unless there are behavioral problems, it’s in your best interest to make the PIP describe what kind of performance you’d want out of the employee. Even if employees don’t interpret it that way, it’s better for the company to retain someone able to operate at the desired level than go through hiring again just to find someone who hopefully will. Also, IANAL but if literally no employee ever graduates out of a PIP at a company I feel like that would make them useless in the face of a wrongful dismissal suit:

Ofc, this probably doesn’t happen much in practice. But I think these aspects disincentivize converting PIPS into true formalities any time soon
Which is why I didn't mention C along with those other languages that are spaghetti. C is simple, clean, and won't get in your way. That last part is why most serious bugs occur. Unless the language is built from the ground up to prevent the bugs from compiling then you will always have vulnerabilities.

I know that C is a beautiful language and Rust is ugly but at some point we have to realize that humans are error prone and will always produce buggy C code.

As for Rust dependency issues, here's a very simple article for beginners:

There's also the cargo tree command to find duplicate dependencies:

cargo tree --duplicates

By far more better than the dependency hell that is Node.js :D

How is finding, drawing up contracts for, then paying a separate firm who then has to find a representative sample of people willing to answer their survey, and then waiting for those results faster, cheaper, or more accurate than just logging data their PS5s already collect every single time they are turned on? They're getting real time data right now for free.

On the accuracy side, the only catch is that you might detect consoles that belong to someone else in the household. In some settings, like apartment complexes, they might log a device belonging to a very close neighbor, but otherwise it's a pretty good measure. I'm willing to bet they could filter most of that by signal strength alone.

I'm just saying that there are a lot of ways sony could be collecting this data, but one of them is clearly more likely since anything else is going to cost more, require more work, and be less accurate/inclusive.
Binary logs. Large attack surface. Ever growing features and pieces of the OS that it worms its way into. That's 3...
Of course we’ve written both. I don’t even care if it’s better. Large part of the value of Linux for me is stability and lack of churn. I’d just as soon learn another OS if I’m going to put in effort. And I’d way prefer plain text files in /var/log I don’t need weird tools to view. Don’t even know what prom tail or Loki are and I’ve used Linux daily for over 25 years. Blech. Was all part of red hats selfish move to where they are today. Hoping they go down hard.

Taxes on EV are just starting. A lot of taxes come from gas in the first place and once the market for EV is ripe the goverment will unleash the tax whip on the EV category before you know it. It is inevitable.
The deeper you dive into crypto code and structure, the more you realize it doesn't really work outside of some niches.

Modern ML has been totally different for me. It was janky before the craze, it is still janky as heck, and the ML community has its own unique blend of manic, reckless myopia and scammers. But the deeper I go, the more mind boggling it gets.
I feel like there's an opportunity for a competitor that streams only a (comparatively) small number of curated, highly-rated shows and movies. At least, I would buy that. So tired of the same old formulaic Netflix slosh.
> The Muslims did the same some centuries earlier so I can imagine that "forcing people to practice a religion" was a common practice during that era.

This is generally not true for Al-Andalus. In general Christians were not forced to convert to Islam under the initial Umayyad rule and by the later periods almost 80% of Al-Andalus’ Muslim population was estimated to be from converts from Christianity to Islam, called the Muladi. This was by and large voluntary. And the remaining Christians were given a protected Dhimmi status which preserved their religious practice and conducting their internal affairs via Christian courts.

Castile also had an edict of tolerance that was revoked when they decided to expel the Moors and took a very extreme approach of convert or leave or die.

It’s not equal at all, the Kingdom of Castile which later became Spain committed in what modern day we would term a genocide against Moriscos and Conversos. Some Moriscos fled to mountains or adopted cryptic ways of preserving their traditions and religious practice under the Spanish oppression centuries after the fall of the Emirate of Granada.

No, you have to pay those anyway. But it will lower the total spend and so you'll have money available to pay them. You don't have to be rich or anything. I live in San Francisco, and insurance for my Subaru Forester costs me $1.2k/yr and I have comprehensive coverage.

So if someone were to buy a $10k car and instead chose a $5k car, it'll be as if insurance were cut to $700/year for the next 10 years!

If you value your privacy, that's a solution.

I think for the most part, you can't really monetize your own data. You can just trade it away for "free" services.

Unless I've missed something...

In this case it was used as an instrument of good. The strategy isn't inherently bad, it is how it is used and using it to kill Sys-V init was a very good thing.

I mean, we don't have to work 8 hours a day, we can work 10 right? 12? 18? We don't need to work 5 days a week we can work 6, maybe 6.5? It's pretty common in Japan to work 6 days a week. People like pocketing productivity bonuses and they become baked into labor expectations. It's how living standards rise.
Somewhere else in this comment section there's a discussion about screenings causing more trouble than benefit because people don't know how or what to do about them.

Emerging research is not something actually concretely actionable for most people. Worse, because most people are "arm-chair experts" without clear guidance, your average person is more likely to harm themselves with doing their own research into things like this than otherwise.

For the additional thing about "reverse osmosis whole house filter" most people likely can't do afford to do this. Even if they can, there would need to be much better guidance here to have any certainty that someone wasn't selling you snake oil. The only things I can find on these systems in searches is that the companies that sell them recommend them, and won't even say they can filter out PFAs on their own, that's a major red flag to me that this is poorly regulated and likely dangerously marketed for things they can't do anything about.

A thought experiment, if I offer you two glasses of water, and tell you one has PFAs and the other doesn't how could you actually test that assumption? How could you have certainty in that test? I'm not saying it can't be done, but knowing what companies you can trust in a brand new space is not something obvious, and especially in a low-regulation space can be a major opportunity for companies to use meaningless words to try and convince you they're doing more than they are.

I had an insect exterminator come to my door and tell me the "eco" in their company name meant that they were eco-friendly with 0 data to back that up. They also said that all of their chemicals for killing animals were "plant-based" and didn't expand on that any further. Companies can make a lot of money making up BS terms to try and sell you the same thing you've been buying for years. That's a lot easier than finding a new thing to sell you.
Yes IP address is shared with other users - by pooling users on single server.

Well, they can be backups, it just depends on what you're protecting against. Snapshots won't protect against complete hardware failure, destruction, or loss (lightning strike, house burns down, machine stolen), but they're great for accidental deletion or software corruption (the most dramatic case perhaps being something like rolling back a botched OS upgrade or running `rm *` in your home directory).

> The thing is, cross-platform tooling sucks.

No, they don't always suck. As an example, QT is cross platform, fast and complete.

But Electron is god awfully slow, and Eclipse can be too. The difference is QT apps are compiled and are generally written in C/C++, where are Electron and Eclipse are interpreted / JIT'ed, and use GC under the hood. As a consequence, they run at 1/2 the speed, use many times more RAM and to make matters worse Electron is single threaded.

The problem isn't cross platform. It's the conveniences most programmers lean on to make themselves productive - like GC, or async so they can avoid the dangers of true concurrency, or an interpreter to so they don't have to recompile for every platform out there. They do work - we are more productive in turning out code, but the come at a cost.
The UFO and aliens narratives serve multiple functions domestically, as the government's history with them shows. I figure that's why they're going about it this way instead of just staying silent like they normally would have.
Or alternatively, not. It's not grand conspiracy, don't pucker up, do continue to think about applications of Hanlon's and Occam's razor.

A stoicism point of view here is that none of your wishful thinking of change would necessarily be good or bad, it's too early to say. And since this is a fantasy grab-basket of meme food, the most likely stoical outcome is that nothing to see here, move along is actually the best choice.
What you have provided is evidence that some office layouts are better than others, and some buildings with inadequate air flow can cause issues. Everything you have provided here doesn’t really answer the general question which is: “Demonstrate with hard facts to an employer that work from home is more productive than in office work for the organization.”

Now, if I am the CEO of InOffice Corp and I want all my remote employees to RTO now that the pandemic is over, all these things you have provided do not apply to our situation. While we did not see a marked drop in employee productivity when we moved to WFH, we also did not see a marked improvement in employee productivity either. Also, we own or have long term leases on all of our buildings and the commercial real estate market is not conducive to a reasonable financial exit from our leases and properties. We would like to take advantage of our beautiful work spaces and believe that in office work is importance for our company culture. We have prided ourselves on our culture for 50 years and we believe that it was instrumental to our success. Also, none of our office layouts fall into “the bad” categories that you provided. In fact, all were expertly designed by the most reputable and award winning interior design company that provided amazing data showing how their design increases employee productivity. Sick building syndrome is a non issue as well, because in all our buildings the HVAC is regularly tested for mold and serviced. We have never had a sick building syndrome claim against any location due to our aggressive efforts out of concern for your health. As for your personal safety, our buildings are guarded and all access is controlled. In our 50 years of operation across 100 company owned locations, we have never had a security incident. So we believe your fears are unfounded.
And on top of that: real seccomp sandboxes, dynamic users, chroot, isolated mounts, read-only mounts, isolated groups, process isolation, network isolation, virtual interfaces, virtual /proc and /dev mounts, capability boundaries etc etc ...all that stuff that is real painful to implement with OpenRC or other init script environments.

Out of the box, and can be used with every single systemd unit file.

Isn't that amazing?
The decision of which of the two options (APU/engine bleed versus ground equipment) to use to condition the cabin air at the gate has nothing to do with avoiding fumes. Some airports provide the equipment, some don’t, sometimes it’s not available. By the time engines are being started, ground AC equipment will generally have been disconnected and air will be supplied by bleed from the APU or an engine that was already started.

The patterns of whether and when ground AC is used haven’t really changed industry-wide at any recent time, and certainly not around the pandemic, so I don’t know where the idea of this “period of time” comes from.

Maybe your travel patterns changed, or the ground AC equipment availability/policies changed at your frequently-visited airports. Or maybe the aircraft you are flying on were parked during the pandemic and then the reactivation maintenance (esp. engine washes) was not thorough enough, causing fumes at startup.
