Nobody has the right to interrupt you while you are doing your job, to ask you any question they feel like, at any time. They can talk to you when you have office hours, they can schedule a meeting to talk to you, they can post it on slack, or they can interrupt you for critical concerns.

The lack of structured times to communicate and collaborate is a big reason working from an office is counter-productive.
> If you intentionally spoil your vote, that's actually a crime in Australia

Incorrect.

Spoilt votes are legal and non criminal - spoil your own vote as much as you like.

> Albert Langer

wasn't convicted of spoiling his vote.

He advocated everybody spoil their votes, and handed out "how to not vote" flyers

He was asked not to, there was a court case, an appeal, an injunction against Langer, a deliberate violation of that injunction, an arrest for violating that injunction, a sentence, that sentence halved, a review of the law created to mess with Langer, and then that law was tossed out.

So ..

Never a crime to spoil a vote in Australia.

Briefly "illegal" to advocate others do so (during one election).

That's no longer the case.

> I think there's a reason that Australia requires that you rank all choices.

Only in the House of Representatives - where you order a small number of choices to choose a candidate to represent your local district.

https://www.aec.gov.au/Voting/How_to_Vote/Voting_HOR.htm

Senate votes (the other House) only require to rank six parties (out of a field of potentially many) OR rank 12 individuals (out of potentially many more)

You really don't appear to know much about the Australian Electoral system.
For code that has undefined behavior, the compiler may refuse to compile it or compile it into literally anything.

A common mistake is expecting code that has undefined behavior to be compiled into something that makes logical sense.

You may disagree with it but that’s how compilers work and how the standard describes they should work.

Uh? WFH benefits a whole lot of people:

- The people who need to stay home to take care of their children and family members.

- The companies who can't find [good] enough local talent, or can't afford them.

- The people who can't find jobs locally and cannot move, due to financial, familial, environmental, or other reasons.

- People with diverse needs who require a flexible schedule and safe space.

- People who live in dangerous places where commuting could put them at increased risk. (see: can't move because of X) (also: commuting is actively dangerous to your health; constant sitting, danger of traffic collisions, being robbed at bus stops, etc)

- Anyone who wants to live in a cheaper, less dangerous city, or doesn't want to commute a long time.

WFH can benefit everyone, but they have to learn how to work a completely different way, and most people are lazy as hell so they don't.
Depends on the job.

There are physically demanding low paying work in agriculture for instance that would be challenging to fill at any wage that wouldn't result in sticker shock down the line.

Americans don't want to destroy their back 12 hours a day for a short term job that will need a only a fraction of the labor after harvest is done.

Many other jobs could profitably be automated away or filled by Americans.

I would prefer we accept immigrants because it's the right thing to do and because long term those people and their children will enrich and add value to our society rather than hoping it will do something about the help wanted signs in the service industry.

Names are much more complicated than this. A starting point is pretty much all systems processing names need to consider all possible permutations across all cultures, and select some constraints to operate by. There is no silver bullet here, and in all honesty the authors suggestions seem well intentioned, but don't address any real problem space.

When it comes to these considerations for instance, it's possible to have a first name, but no last name and vice-versa.

Also, never mind how many words make up a first or last name, but what's the minimum number of characters allowed for each?

What characters do they allow, and which shouldn't they?

Also, what version of the person are they attached to? Is Dr. J. Stevenson the same identity as Jonathan Stevenson, or Jon Adam Stevenson?

> No, it isn't. The required directories are /, /dev, /tmp. The reqired files are /dev/null, /dev/tty, and /dev/console.

To finish splitting the hair: the env utility is specified by POSIX (it also specifies sh, and not bash), but it doesn't specify the path of any standard utility.

> Since shebangs have no native way to look up binaries from your PATH scripts should be including the full path to the binary from /nix in the shebang

Weird hill. Shebangs are a "native" way to tell the ~system what interpreter to use, and optionally what arguments to pass to it. Can you clarify how this argument doesn't self-reduce to absurdity? Why should the distinction you're drawing apply to the "non-native" behavior of env and not to the non-native behavior of every other external interpreter and executable?

> (and they should stop opening PRs asking people to switch to /usr/bin/env for them)

Again--weird hill. I won't pretend the Nix community isn't a big source of these requests, but your sample may be skewed if you think Nix is the only source of these requests.

For example, a narrow GH search (("/usr/bin/env bash" AND "/bin/bash" AND nix) -org:NixOS -org:nix-community) focused just on bash only gives me 429 issues and 283 PRs that smell nix-motivated (and some are references to "*NIX"). A similar search for macOS (("/usr/bin/env bash" AND "/bin/bash" AND macOS AND NOT nix AND NOT nixos) -org:NixOS -org:nix-community) turns up 1.8k issues and 1k PRs.

> I suspect

No real need to speculate--https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/7281a851b3594 makes it somewhat clear that this is a convenience for end users that may want to use (or write) scripts ~can run on other NixOS and other distros.

(There are definitely people in the community who'd be happy to remove both /bin/sh and /usr/bin/env. Both of these are even nullable options, though I don't think I've heard of them being used outside of the envfs module in nixpkgs and the FHS module in https://github.com/balsoft/nixos-fhs-compat.)

> they don't want to do the work needed to remove /usr/bin/env.

Remove it from where? These are already extensively patched out in nixpkgs. If that's the work you're talking about, it gets done all the time.

(This speculation might be more meaningful for /bin/sh; the comment it was introduced with in 2006 is still present: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/b60dd36c8fccc5d04497...)

It's also dramatically more useful than CLOS, and its real-world impact has far outweighed that of CLOS. Having excellent concurrency features built into a language turns out to be pretty important.
Actually people are born with no expectations.

They are raised to believe in "one right way".

Over time they learn it is just one of many, and much of the "value system" they were raised on is bullshit.

The problem isn't that the compiler chooses not to compile something if it deems it broken. The problem is that the broken code's behaviour is coupled to the compiler of the time.

The behaviour you want isn't "compile this version of Linux even though it has a bug", it's "compile this version of Linux as if you were a compiler at the time which accepted this broken code in this way", which is a very tall order, along the lines of bug-for-bug compatibility while also fixing the bug.

The conditions aren't the same. When COVID caused many workplaces to go full WFH, most employees had nothing to do except work and hang out with those in their household. A lot of the increased productivity came from working instead of doing other things. Once things opened up, in aggregate they stopped working as many hours. Ultimately, it was never sustainable.

I do this with my mom because of how much she worries.

A couple years ago, I sent her a message, "I'm OK, but I think I just totaled my car. Would you please come to [location of accident]? I'm going to need a ride home."

She still freaked out, because she does, but I really did only have some bruising, and I did, in fact, total the car.
I don't know if anything went wrong afterwards. I left in 2014, so I only spoke for what I saw when I was there.

That sounds like someone who will make a four-page fizzbuzz solution, which was at one stage a highlight for us.

What I try to get candidates to do in interviews is find the project they are most proud of, and get them to talk about it at a technical level - the constraints, challenges & solutions. That’s much harder to fake than pretty much anything else, and works at any technical level. My theory is that if they can communicate technical things in enough detail, and show that they have sufficient depth in at least one area they should be able to move sideways into our stack and context.
Oh sure, like you can just do that if you're out of money. (/sarcasm) It costs money and time to get a passport, fly out, have a destination that will accept you, figure out security for yourself, etc. Plus, you're making it harder for the existing people there to keep prices low.
The countries the tried to contain it until we had vaccines to protect vulnerable populations had far lower mortality rates than those that opened up, including the US.

Seems to me the containment strategy was exactly the action that was needed. Countries that followed the experts advice did far far better.
I graduated from the CS program in the late 00s and have interviewed grads of the program over the years since. The old, out of touch professors that were there then are still there today. Many of the good professors teaching useful, applicable skills moved on to greener pastures. The "reduce staff" guidance should motivate the department to cut off that dead weight, but it won't. They'll keep the worst and tank the program more.

The program has also taken the position that it's more important to teach the theory than any hands on application of skills in a modern environment. It's a disservice to the students because they graduate not knowing how to use something as pervasive as git. The program's faculty and administration - already gainfully employed - aren't the ones being turned down for jobs for being unqualified after all. They get to carry on with their cushy lifestyles existing outside of reality.

Make no mistake - there are quality professors and talented people coming out of the program. It's just that the quality professors aren't the ones setting the course of the program, and the talented students would probably have been as successful no matter which school they attended.

It's so frustrating to know that the program could be more, it just chooses not to. So goes the story of West Virginia.

This is exactly what I meant and it happens too often. If she doesn't serve much if any time for this, she continues her career as an "expert" and that's not enough of a punishment. She's just as guilty as Sam Bankman-Fried. That she cooperated is irrelevant. That she plays dumb should make it worse for her. She will not be sentenced until the investigation is completed and her cooperation is no longer required. I'm hoping they make the right call and give her at least the same as him.
Depends on how everything else is going, but being one person doing the work of four is great if you handle it well.

If you do what you can get done, and go home at a reasonable time, it's great. You don't have to worry about justifying your position, or trying to find work to do, you've got a bunch of stuff. You can pick from your choice of tasks, cause there's a ton of stuff. You don't have to bother with knowledge transfer, cause everyone else was fired. You can nope out of meetings because you've got a lot of stuff to do. When you leave or get fired, whatever, not your problem.

No need to collaborate with other contributors becauase there are none. Not great if you're junior, obviously.

The mechanical connector layout forces sub-optimal signalling paths.

You're forced to make everything slower to make things consistent.

That being said, a more optimized connector, board layout and form factor could make large-capacity, lower-latency modules possible. Not sure for example if there is anything out there besides the Dell proposed CAMM form factor, and I don't remember that one being specifically promoted as "faster", mostly "smaller".
This isn't a new concept. Those of us who are old enough will remember the UK pirate radio station Radio Caroline. It was a ship in international waters broadcasting into areas that required a broadcasting license. It was so effective that it eventually changed the whole broadcasting environment: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Caroline

I reckon there's considerable truth in what kmeisthax said in his post about the US political system, in that copyright and patent laws are so ingrained in US political class thinking that antiquated IP laws will never be reformed.

Perhaps the only practical solution is ignore the US and bypass it altogether. A ship like Radio Caroline equipped with internet servers in international waters may be the only viable way we'll ever get to achieving a fair and equitable solution to the IP mess—that is to just bypass it.

I don't think so.

A Handler is something that transforms log events to concrete outputs (files, disks, writes to stderr, etc.) via side effects.

A Logger is what programs use to produce, transform, etc. log events.

Both are abstract interfaces with arbitrarily many possible implementations. Both are defined in terms of their user-facing capabilities. I'm not sure how those definitions would differ. Both accept log events and do something with them. That interface is the same.

More languages should have a single, mandatory way to
format code, without any ways to opt out.

Strong disagree but, I definitely agree that every project (or team) should have its own standards for formatting that can be automatically applied.

In Ruby land, Rubocop has been a win at the companies where I've worked. Greatly reduces grumbling about formatting. And VSCode/Sublime/etc can format code automatically.

I think it's perfectly possible to use it, you'll just have to do some of the work yourself. The linked jetpack module seems to demonstrate that. Of course, if it's just a few utilities you need you might be able to `patchelf` most of them yourself.

According to the link Nvidia themselves have left the jetson behind, and from memory and a quick search it doesn't look like any other distros support it either.

I agree the conspiracy theories don't add up. The potential benefits of WFH for employers are substantial. Lower real estate costs is direct money saved. Ability to recruit from a much larger candidate pool means they can hire faster and for lower salaries than otherwise.
