Fun thing is that almost every other CI as a service provider charges you in some shape or form for self hosted runners. CircleCI limits the number of self-hosted Job Running in parallel based on your plan and charges a fixed base fee per s

But that would filter for German applicants. Who else would have a fax?

I believe you have entered a race to the bottom and while I understand why, I'm pretty certain you can't win this way. You are effectively filtering out the remaining companies that do care from the pool that you're talking t

The box would need to be off by default and clearly state the purpose. It would at least be possible to verify it exists and no example has been shown.

That’s a great idea if you’re hiring locally but we do hire international remote and I suspect no one will snail-mail me an application from the Americas or South Africa to Germany.

It certainly would be illegal in Europe under the GDPR - data collected for one purpose (handling of applications) cannot be used for another without explicit, informed consent.

I can tell you that our HR takes the time to write proper responses to every application, but we straight up delete AI written applications. I honor the effort put into any application, but if people haven’t spent the time, then why should

When we post a job ad on LinkedIn, I already get 30 spam answers in the first few minutes, people that have obviously spent not a single second reading the requirements. And you want to further automate this? I’ll just ask my people person

Yes, sure. But even that wouldn’t work - those people still need to have advanced warning and be close to a capsule. But if you’re close to a capsule, then you’re likely close to home and you can just build a flood safe room in your house.

I’m amazed by the idea that providing escape capsules would have saved many lives. The Christmas tsunami caused about 230 000 fatalities in a densely populated area. People didn’t even get to higher ground. Where are you going to store the

If you need glibc for any kind of reason, that approach is still used. But that won’t save you if no glibc is available. And since the folks here want to produce a musl build anyways for alpine, the easier approach is to just go for musl al

Let's take a simple example to illustrate how unsafe {} cuts down the review effort for many operations. Take a static mutable global variable (a global counter for example). Reading a static is safe, mutating it (increasing the counte

But you know that it's one of them. That cuts 96% of their codebase out, even assuming you have no idea which one it could be.

That's the other interesting observation you can draw from that report. The numbers contained in the first parts about review times, rollback rates, etc. are broken down by change size. And the gap widens for larger changes. This indic

Thanks for the correction.

1 memory safety vulnerability, that's a pretty important distinction. Yes, I believe that at least the order of magnitude is correct because 4 800 000 of those lines are guaranteed to not have any by virtue of the compiler enforcing me

by Xylakant 10mo ago
It does, if you read the report and run a little (implied) math. The report says that their historical data gives them an estimate of 1000 Memory Safety issues per Million Lines of Code for C/C++. The same team currently has 5 Million

It's great that the Google Android team has been tracking data to answer that question for years now and their conclusion is: ------- The primary security concern regarding Rust generally centers on the approximately 4% of code written

How is the one comment from a GH account with 18 followers, no contribution to the Rust project (or any Rust based project at all) and mostly contributions to javascript projects in any way representative of the Rust community? Especially t

How is the drive-by statement of a random GH account with 9 followers representative of any community. What's the point you're trying to make? That there's people with shitty behavior in the Rust community? No surprise here,

by Xylakant 10mo ago
Why? It depends on what you want to replace, but the Rust project has a long history of using tools written in other languages. Python is used a lot in build tooling, bors-ng was written in Elixir, llvm is written in c, ... gcc-rs doesn&#x2

The question I’m asking is slightly tangent to how to feed the required gas. It’s “How many MW of gas do I need to feed in to get one MW of electricity.” And they’re pointedly avoiding any statement about this.
83.
by Xylakant 10mo ago
Did I miss something or does the article not even say how much gas they need as an input to generate the 42MW? I see they deride conventional turbines for needing cooling, but the reason they do is to increase the temp differential between

Haven't tested lately, but at least for a while you could get your account blocked by publicly suggesting people follow you some other place.

It’s an e.V., a German legal construct for public good organizations. That doesn’t make it impossible to buy it, but all profits from a sale must flow into recognized public good efforts. The incentive to sell for huge sums is just much low

The parent means that an attacker has unlimited attempts at breaking the passphrase on an exfiltrated key. Once the key passphrase is broken, they can log in using the key.

So the problem you’re running into is the question of whether support for old architectures should indefinitely hold back the adoption of new features or languages in future kernel versions. Rust in the kernel was added as a way for develop

We haven’t had a malfunctioning battery in ~40 000km of ebike use in our family. We have one that failed to charge due to age. The number of times we ran out of battery due to forgetting to charge can be counted on one hand. The number of f
