Actually the entire whois database is "privacy protected" because of GPDR (if my memory is correct) Thankfully, because I used to get postal scams for the hundred or so domains I used to host. You good for tinfoil bro?

In countries other than the USA there are strict controls on personal information. The UK/European countries have GPDR for example.

I was correcting the user's "plan9" comment. It's a port of a collection of plan 9 userspace to a non-9 operating system. Perhaps you've now learnt something GG

Yes, not plan9. I despair at your (and GGP) lack of comprehension

Not really. British governments have always been increasingly authoritarian. The stated reason is to stop illegals working. Unfortunately we have an ID for working, called a national insurance number. We literally can't get legally pai

Sorry, you're not trying hard enough to find bad cases of terrible professional software. Besides, the article reads like a noob using xcode for the first time.

True. I'm in rural UK. Blessed with fast fibre. However if the power goes out, it's a proper blackout. I'm slowly sorting out the ups situation along with nut When the power goes out or fibre dies I cannot rely on 4/5G a

Not S3, but I use longhorn to store persistent data on my clusters. Sometimes you'll need admin skills, but only if you spread your cluster out over availability zones or poor connections

Huh? It was fairly common for typewriter ribbons to be destroyed where confidential information was typed, as it was possible to acquire previously typed characters.

I'd rather there be no coding interviews. Honestly it's disrespectful.

In two aspects only 1. Everything is a file. 2. A command does only one thing well There's no init, fstab, etc etc etc. Very little of your Unix muscle memory will work.

I just know a lot of children will be introduced to orienteering by their parents due to this ;-)

I've a similar story, but 35 years ago, a situation which was entirely my fault, 100cc and 'shit'. Ended up with a sore knee, bent forks and a realisation that leaning plus braking in the wet is a great way to make a nice gro

Hmm the NDK is for userspace, you can remove functions out of the standard libraries, but the Linux syscall API will likely be untouched Apple does this too for its more locked down devices. I've been coding since the 80s too. I had as

My dear summer child. My degree trained me to build computers from logic, write an operating system, write userspace code and applications (with a side of AI) all before the year 2000. I don't know where you did your degree or when. Bu

No. The Kernel IS the operating system. No, the user space is (mostly) busybox, in both cases. The user interface is different sure. The fact that termux (a Debian userspace) is able to run on android at all is enough to dispel your claims.

Is kotaemon a fork of langchain? I've been browsing a little and I see very similar APIs being used... ... Not being snarky, genuinely interested in the etymology of these libraries.

Roll back a bit. It's the CEOs who enable and managers who want to micromanage that are wanting the return to the office. Threating to fire people if they don't comply. That is, by definition, control. Oh I agree wholeheartedly wi

It's very difficult indeed to argue, when you're giving very little information to back up your assertions. If you're not given clear briefs, and you accept the work, then it's clear to me that as an industry you've

Actually, if that's not in your contract, it literally isn't your job to train up junior members of your team. Of course, we're not monsters so we do. You're paid to do what's outlined in your contract nothing more.

Short answer is no. But I can see why you think that. Some great ideas are derived from pub conversations, and team building exercises. Teams (and companies) usually end up in a state of groupthink, a bit like the rule of thumb "you ar

Sure nurses/doctors of all disciplines are almost always needed in person. Though there has been a lot of progress in telepresence in the last few years. But what were you thinking about?

If you can elaborate a role that does require in person collaboration, I'll discuss it for sure. But you are aware that videoconferencing has been around for decades now? As I've said in earlier posts, if you have to physically ma

Trust is an excuse. If people aren't performing, then adjustments need to be made. If they're not doing the job they're paid to do then they're in breach of their employment contract. Trust is about belief that someone i
