I just read a few of your blog posts and I'm sure you'll be hired quickly. Easy to see that you're an old perl hacker that's now into rust and you're active in community stuff that matters (LWN, CPAN). I feel like y

If you're not aware, ketamine clinics are now trending in the US. The effects do seem to last about 4-6 months from what I've heard.

It is an actual area of research, mostly around scalability. I don't know what happens in computer science departments, but you can watch Ethereum be developed in the open. They cite the research they're implementing. For example

I'd be shocked if my cell phone contract said they couldn't sell my data. Why would they do that? I have plenty of options besides cell phones. I could have a landline, or get my ham license, or pen a letter! I'm just a sub

You are vastly over-estimating the scale at which local government operates and I'm not saying this is 100% about signing. Searching, pulling GIS files, whatever, it's all essentially the same problem. Your argument is akin t

Please don't confuse my criticism as hatred. Being critical of the government is a proud part of the American tradition. If anything (at the risk of sounding extra American), these threads remind me that the US is still the place to b

You'd need some kind of shared database that all parties can trust. It'd have to be regularly audited but also kept as up to date as possible. It should have very precise access controls. Also, it should be as fast as possible,

This is exactly it (and ok, perhaps "life of bondage" is a bit over-dramatic). I really value being able to sleep until I am rested and wake up without an alarm. I also want to be able to act on things when spontaneity strikes. W

That's stealing because it deprives someone else of their property. The dealer cannot sell the car once you've stolen it. "Intellectual property" doesn't really work like that.
