run0 uses polkit for configuration instead of sudoers files, so using it will mean _a lot_ of changes. It's not a drop-in replacement at all, so it's not really an option. (The best you can hope for is a massive education campaign

Where did you get this from: "I had a bad boss who broke the rules"? Bosses don't just say "you need to work 12 hours today". They say: "You need to get this done by Friday or I'll put you on PIP. Also, yo

I suspect that any corporation that prohibit GPL will prohibit BearLicence as well. Those usually have a list of approved licenses.

Let me try to restate my argument: If your boss is bad, you are still going to be working extra hours. Timesheets DO NOT PREVENT extra hours for computer programmers (unless there is also pervasive surveillance, like in the worst consulting

You are an employee and you are overloaded (like the OP). You are worried about getting fired if you don't do enough. Your manager had talked to you about not overworking and said you should not work more than 40 hours. At the same tim

you are making it sound there is an upside in timesheets, but there really is not. In a current world, manager says: "We have great work-life balance, feel free to work as much or as little as you want! Also, here is an assignment, if

How is this going to be enforced? Does that mean everyone has to fill timesheets all the time? I've worked in placed with timesheets and without them, and I liked latter ones much better. Not to mention that even if timesheets were use

they kinda mention this - one of those is Rust, other is C++. My guess they made an all-new Rust plugin which used an existing C++ library. Pretty common case when existing code base is slowly being converted to rust.

A lot of the stuff I am buying in China (electronic components and modules) either does not exists in US shops, or exists with very high markup (3x-5x). And even the stuff that is sold in the US is same Chinese parts, but imported by seller

Not "instead", it's "in addition to". Your classical defense-in-depth.

C++ compilation can do this trivially, as long as you have enough RAM.

And yet, we keep going here... There are fewer and fewer physical stores left that sell non-food for reasonable prices. Home Depot is often the only choice (at least in my area, the competitors, Lowes and Ace Hardwares, are more expensive,

That may be a sensible approach, but in practice there are many companies, including Github, that offer AI reviews today - and they have the same general quality as author's examples, that is "mostly junk, with occasional complete

Seems reasonable to me? After all, they went to "predictable pricing" which seems to be generally better than usage-based one. I think the only reason to go with usage-based pricing is if you want to take a risk to save money - yo

Given how bad the "single master key" idea is, even simple update like "transmit secret key in the open, but with reduced power, during paring mode", would be a great improvement. It'd instantly mean there is 0% cha
