> sleep at least 8.5h Good luck find a university student with that type of sleep hygiene. I was the most sleep vigilante of my group and almost never slept more than 8 hours. 7 was my minimum, anything less led to migraines.

For your second question, you could write a basic async/await Python or Rust application, then use strace and ftrace to figure out what system calls are happening and what the kernel is doing with them. https://strace.io&#x2

Right? With that article title you figure the author had written his own bootloader in Typescript then transpiled to Rust, ultimately cross compiling to his Arm64 target from a homebrewed x86 CPU fabricated in his garage. For real though, w

"Atomic drills", as done for sports, do not apply well to programming IME. The following will make a lot more sense if you are familiar with the book Thinking Fast and Slow ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Think

I remember left-wing media hounding Bush 43 for his pronunciation of nuclear: https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2002/09/why-does-bush-go... . That Slate article is actually pretty fair to Bush. But others fr

Not where I grew up. Sports teams, theater and music programs were all funded equally. All extracurriculars came with fees and fundraisers. One of the gym teachers, also the basketball coach, was useless if the team was likely to make a pla

I am going on 2 decades removed from my American high school, so maybe things have changed. But I also recall starting school within +/- 10 minutes of 8:00 AM. The only exception was strictly extracurricular, a men's choir which p

Teams has been fine enough for me. Video connects instantly, audio drop outs are rare and the "mute incoming video" setting is a god send (when your cat is kissing you its butthole is pointing at me). I only use Teams on an iPhone

I would say this is a difference between a short-term habit (going to the gym) and a long-term goal (being fit). Habits can be long term of course, but likely to fade if they don't resolve around some long term goal. If your goal is fi

The author rambled about the annoyances of string.h functions. And I do not disagree with many of the points made. Particularly strtoks global state and wholly unintuitive usage. But what is the alternative? Rolling your own equivalents?

Well, looks like I know what I am doing first thing on Monday. I converted a bunch of code to asyncio a while back. I have yet to run into any heisenbug in that code and want to keep it that way.

I would attribute a stable Gentoo system to skill and patience, not luck. Out of curiosity, what is your use case for this particular Gentoo install? 15+ years is a long time to keep the same machine running.

I ran Gentoo for about 4 years (2017-2020). So many times you would get stuck needing some "masked off" package. And the advice on the Gentoo forum for getting yourself out of the pickle was usually: fresh install. The trauma of t

I worked with one developer who became a master electrician. He was experienced and intelligent but obviously burnt out on software. And he sure seemed happier when I ran into him a couple years after making that career transition.

How far along on that career path are you? You may find that teaching newer developers is not all that different from formally managing them. As for a technical track, read the stories on staffeng.com. And read between the lines when you’re

If you infringe on a mobile carrier’s spectrum, for which they have paid a handsome dollar, you can expect to find a man with a Yagi antenna and frequency analyzer in your backyard within a couple hours.
