a bit exaggerated? it's downright unhinged. I read some of the most insane takes on LinkedIn and never, ever post, but it's highly entertaining, if kind of horrifying sometimes.

an example: a whole thread of managers and HR people celebrating a proposed Slack plugin that does sentiment analysis on every message & automatically reports you to HR if you're insufficiently enthusiastic (or god forbid, use sarcasm) when talking to your boss or reports

did I post about what a horrible idea that is? hell no! that might affect my livelihood!

and so the deranged circlejerk went on unchallenged, as I closed my tab and quietly prayed I would never have to work with any of these absolute maniacs
> I would still contend that knowing that unvaccinated people getting long covid does not provide any insight into vaccinated people getting long covid.

Right, but it does provide insight into the vaccine being the primary cause of long COVID, rather than an actual COVID infection.

So it depends on how you interpret “the vaccine causes long COVID” meaning exclusive to or inclusive of COVID also causing long COVID.

The alarm systems, I kind of understand, insofar as there are

1. security certifications depending on these being present and functioning, and nobody's going to certify equipment with arbitrary third-party repairs; and

2. these devices always work only with some kind of subscription paid to a security company anyway, since the point of them is to send some signal to said company to get something to happen.
Right to repair should include right to mod (software) which also then necessitates right to reverse engineer

Apple really gave JXL the boost it needed. A part of me deep inside hopes that Apple switches to JXL & leapfrogs the whole gain map JPEG thing going on in Android land currently, then Android OEMs can switch to JXL too. HEIC is not & will never be compatible enough, and the royalties ruin it.
I've been using a 3 nuc (actually Ryzen devices) k3s on SuSE MicroOS https://microos.opensuse.org/ for my homelab for a while, and I really like it. They made some really nice decisions on which parts of k8s to trim down and which Networking / LB / Ingress to use.

The option to use sqlite in place of etcd on an even lighter single node setup makes it super interesting for even lighter weight homelab container environment setups.

I even use it with Longhorn https://longhorn.io/ for shared block storage on the mini cluster.

If anyone uses it with MicroOS, just make sure you switch to kured https://kured.dev/ for the transactional-updates reboot method.

I'd love to compare it against Talos https://www.talos.dev/ but Talos's lack of support for a persistent storage partition (only separate storage device https://github.com/siderolabs/talos/issues/4041 ) really hurts most small home / office usage I'd want to try.

This is one of those questions that is hard to answer, such as 'Which is better Java or Python?'.

As usual, the answer it 'it depends'. More specifically, it depends on your situation.

I would suggest creating a 3 year vision, then a 3 year plan. Set targets for yourself regarding work life balance, salary, benefits, industry recognition, company recognition. Make the first cut your first thoughts, not wildly out of the park, but probably overly ambitious. Keep that draft, but then revise it to be more conservative. Aim for what would make you happy, not what would make you ecstatic. Now you have two sets of goals: objectives and thresholds. Taken together, this is a vision of where you want to be in 3 years.

Now create a plan by charting where along the road to that plan you want to be at the end of the first year. Which milestones do you expect you can hit? Which are stretch goals? Always have stretch goals, a lack of the possibility of failure means you are not trying hard enough, in many cases. Now prioritize the goals in your three year vision, and the milestones at the 1 and 2 years marks. For each milestone at the 1 year mark, write down habits you can start that will get you there. For example, I have a goal of wanting to be be good at React by the end of next year (this is a weasel-goal though, too ambiguous, but what I came up with spur of the moment). I can start a practice of studying React APIs three hours every week for a year, and putting in 5 hours every week working on an Open Source React library of components, to be released at the end of the year. These then are tangible goals. The library also helps with goals of recognition for my React skills.

At the end of each year, evaluate where you are in your plan. If you've stalled, work with your manager. If the plan doesn't seem achievable in your company after talking with your manager, then that's the time to seek another position. If there's none in the company that progresses your plan enough, then that's the time to look for a job elsewhere.

That said, always be networking. Respond personally to every recruiter, expand your linked in network as much as you can (but only with people you establish a real connection with), stay in touch with people from past projects. That way, you are always hearing of new openings. When the time is right to move it won't be a matter of finding a spot, but letting people know you're actively looking now, then choosing from a number of different positions.

I don't think anywhere is actually absolutist. Even America has restrictions they just are primarily things like shouting fire in a theatre to use the common example. I wonder, aside from offending good taste though, what harm is actually caused by the American approach that the Europeans can say they don't have to deal with. Unlike comparing gun violence, where I can easily just point out there's fewer civilians shooting civilians in Europe, I can't say that I've seen Europe's more restrictive speech laws to have much of an impact on the peace of the people there. Usually when I see critics in any country arguing for censorship it's primarily because "the other team" was being persuasive in some shady manner and that gets presented as the end all be all reason for why the other group is compelling at all.

You could certainly change the default `-march` to rv64g (plus whatever extensions you want) rather than rv64gc. That provides mostly what you'd want, though there's some small chance that inline asm or hand-written assembly using `.option rvc` or `.option arch, +c` inappropriately causes issues.

The chickens are coming home to roost...

My impression is that a lot of developments that were already going wrong for quite a long time, but could be ignored relatively easily, are now reaching a breaking point.

I think there is also a sort of "cascade failure" going on, on which some events are changing the conditions for more rvents to occur: E.g.: The general political turmoil inside the US led to the Trump election, which led to a weakened image of the US in the world, which may have emboldened other powers like Russia, which may have contributed to the outbreak of the Ukraine war, which has led to record inflation, etc etc.

Likewise, climate change has reached a level in which the consequences are beginning to be felt even by rich nations, and the predicted tensions and upheavals are starting to materialize.

Those are not the single "causes" of any of those events, but it might be one of many causal chains that connect all those world events and led to mutual escalation.

Where all of this is leading? I have no idea, but definitely to a different era. The question is what kind of era.

Yes alarm systems are connected to fear of insurance fraud.

I probably wouldn't cancel the booking, but I've come to expect that with a 4.8 driver, there's a pretty good chance that something won't be satisfactory. Uber doesn't kick the driver off until their rating gets below 4.6, but Uber also won't let drivers drive for their premium tiers without at least a 4.85.

As an example, last week I had a 4.8 driver drive to the wrong pickup location, then I called them to explain, they said they were coming, and then they started the ride without me in the car and started driving towards my destination. Naturally I had to fight with Uber to refund the $10 cancellation fee.

The drivers that are reliable and you can count on to not pull stuff like this are all 4.95+.

I can assure you this is not the case. In fact RISC-V is somewhat annoying to write software for directly in assembly because of the lack of support for loading large constants (directly), and making large jumps.

If the accusation is against the employer, how would anyone at the employer know anything about their account details for personal websites otherwise? The Teams chat snooping is possible and even above-board but it's very unlikely they're chasing down and using your Facebook and Twitter credentials as part of any official company policy or action that's not being disclosed.

I'm not a lawyer but I don't think they have legal grounds to access an employee's personal accounts even if they have captured the credentials over their property. Accessing a third-party computer without authorization (i.e. accessing Facebook using someone else's credentials without permission and just discovered on company networks and/or hardware through normal logging and monitor) is likely a violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act in the US. A company has rights to read any and all data stored on their property but conditions have to be met before they could use that information for any purpose (i.e. a judge orders it because a lawsuit is in progress because you're sending company secrets through personal accounts or something).

My daughter wants more than anything to be a vet. Has talked about it for years. Reading more and more anecdotes and research about what it’s like being a veterinarian, I’m scared to continue encouraging her. We have a particularly medically-needy dog, and have spent $10k on procedures and vet visits over the past few years, and she’s really comfortable and familiar with being at the vet office.

In my position, would you encourage your child to chase their dream? Or would you be comfortable telling them every few weeks until they gave up that you don’t think they should be a vet? I’m asking in earnest because I’m torn with my desire to be encouraging and positive and tell her to chase a dream, with my desire not to set her up for misery or potentially suicide.

Using 'clang -march=rv64g' does work but it's a pain in the neck for Linux distros. [Edit] The question is, is there a way to change this at llvm build time? I wasn't able to find a way. For GNU binutils it is relatively simple.

BTW I've been writing a document on the topic of how Linux distros will support hardware with and without compressed:

If a plane's autopilot steers the plane into a cliff (and such cases have happened many times, 'controlled flight into terrain' is a thing and in quite a few of those cases the autopilot was involved - for example, in both cases here https://www.boldmethod.com/learn-to-fly/aeromedical-factors/... it seems it was turned on during impact), we don't consider it a fault of the autopilot, it's working as intended, as it's effective job is to keep the plane straight and level, not to make smart decisions about how to fly - that's up to the pilots.

In a similar manner, if some computer system in a car holds the steering wheel straight and the speed constant, it's working just as well as a plane's autopilot even if it crashes into a parked car at full speed.

Yes, but in the United States, copyright registration is a prerequisite for copyright litigation.

According to 17 U. S. C. §411(a), “no civil action for infringement of the copyright in any United States work shall be instituted until . . . registration of the copyright claim has been made in accordance with this title.”
