I agree. Any one city that gets out in front will be overwhelmed with a national population of addicts flocking to it. Legalization has to happen nationally. Imagine if prohibition had ended just in Chicago. Chicago would have been overr

I'm genuinely curious why you think she should get clean. I fail to see what sort of burden she'd put on the health care system. AFAIK, long term opoid use is less dangerous than cigarette smoking, and the highest danger is of fa

Its very different, in that I can walk in off the street and buy alcohol. As far as I know, there is noplace I can legally buy fentanyl without a prescription.

Nowhere in these comments have I see anybody take the position that decriminalization is not enough; drugs need to be legalized and regulated. I have a close friend whose relative is a heroin addict. According to her, a lot of overdoses ar

That's not his channel, its a different Dave. However, there is an excellent 3 hour long interview with Dave Cutler on that channel. https://youtu.be/xi1Lq79mLeE

How are the twitter alternatives doing? The last I checked maybe 6 months ago, it seemed like: - mastadon was too complex for normal people - threads was scary, due to meta, and tried to bury discussions about anything controversial - blue

Please don't forget that there are other, non GNU, operating systems which respect user privacy and choice. The first examples that come to mind are OpenBSD and FreeBSD.

I used to work for Myricom in the 2000s, and used to attend these as an exhibitor/vendor. The exhibits were amazing in terms of seeing new, cutting edge tech from small (and large) companies. I really miss going to these.

I use spotifyd and control the music from my phone most of the time. I mostly don't care if I have the latest version of libfoo, but I do care that I have the latest version of anything exposed to the internet (eg, firefox), and any se

Google and Nextdoor are reducing their respective workforces 25% by laying off 200 employees. Huh? Google is reducing their workforce by 25%? I'm sure they have more than 800 employees in the bay area..

I admit that I'm not familiar with docker, but I had assumed their import/export would deal with images. Or is that not true? See https://pot.pizzamig.dev/Images/

I've used it as my desktop OS since 1999 or so (first on FreeBSD's DEC Alpha port, so as to eat my on dogfood as I was one of the main contributors to the alpha port), with a brief detour running Ubuntu Linux on x86 when I was doi

Don't let that stop you. Just install one of the release candidates, and track the stable branch corresponding to the release.

One such changes is moving from OpenSSL 1.x to OpenSSL 3 in the base system, due to OpenSSL 1.x going EOL. That's one of the things that caused this release to take so long.

I could have worded it better.. I should probably have said: "Imagine walking into a surprise technical interview 20+ years out of grad school."

by drewg123 3y ago
I hope things have changed, but then again, it could have been your management's decision. A friend from grad school came in on another acquisition as CTO of the company being acquired. He told me that he ignored M&A's sugge

What I learned getting acquired by Google is that if your company is below a certain size, everyone will need to do a technical interview to be hired and leveled. They tell your management to lie to you, and tell you its just a meet and gr

This actually works in some cases. There is a section of I95 near me with an exit "shunt" that's divided from the main highway. The main highway has a merge where another interstate joins, and that "shunt", where

I wish they actually sold parts, and not assemblies. My fiance has an original 13" M1 MBP. She spilled a drink, and about 1/3 of the keyboard is non-functional. To replace the keyboard (which has to be a ~$100 part), Apple Servi

To each his own. At least for American football, there are so many advertisements and so much dead time between plays, I will typically record a game and then start watching it about 90 minutes after the start. That usually works out so t

Note that they have added DRM to the ATSC 3.0 standard, and its being implemented quite widely. This means that you'll be unable to freely record time shift sports using applications like MythTV, etc.

Its not quite that simple, as the voltage supplied by Tesla superchargers is quite a bit lower than CCS. Tesla superchargers use a 400v system, and Lucid has an 800v architecture. I've read that Lucid is capped at a max of 50Kw when

The benefit of using tabs with a tab width of 8, and limiting screen with to 80 columns (like old text based terminal) is that you limit how many loops and conditions you can nest in a single function due to running out of horizontal space.

Does this handle the case of editing 2 files with the same file name in different directories? Eg, in an OS kernel, its common to have "sys/amd64/include/param.h" and sys/arm64/include/param.h"
