I wonder if Wodehouse ties together both types of heroes in Bertie and Jeeves! Though it's been decades since I read a Wodehouse book, I'm just uncontrollably laughing now just thinking about it! My grandfather had pretty much the

Good point! I was look at it from a users pov. Let's say I have a BPF script for monitoring a set of processes - their disk, network and CPU with some filters on specific messages. Now can I use it in qnx or what's the equivalent?

Is there an eBPF equivalent for QNX? Also, with the real-time linux patch (which has been mainlined now), I'm able to run C++ ROS2 control loops @ 1ms down to even 250us on commodity off the shelf i3 and i5 hardware with dedicated cor

This is about 25 yrs. back. As a grad student, I used to stumble into his papers pretty regularly. Later, I'd scan for author name and pay a lot more attention if it was by Arvind (also a few others). I'd always smile after looki

I guess everything was "remote". My dad had to mail his code (punch cards) from (IIT) Madras to (IISc) Bangalore. He did say it was a pain though. * IISc - Indian Institute of Science * Madras, now Chennai was probably an overnigh

Cost of policing is close to or possibly the highest expense for any city. That did not put security guards out of business.

There is some credence to the "make your own or shut up" argument here on HN. If we reconsider your "criticize a restaurant" analogy, we are not random folks walking into a restaurant. We are professional chefs criticizi

Nice article! FTA: "One for one indicates that if a child crashes it, it and only it should be considered when restarting." What is "it" in this context?

Well that's a great reason for ycombinator's existence! Acquisitions are a great way for established players to "develop" products.

Like I said above, it made me more empathetic, not envious. However, I'm pointing at instances like this so that hiring managers with a enough resources also consider other pipelines.

Not envy. Empathy.

The "room mate" network is pretty exclusionary and self selecting.

It was shocking to me that room mates could get hired that easily. This was the bay area. My comment is highlighting structural imbalances as they exist in society right now. Even though networking as a way to grow, it is not an option for

Here is my own experience of getting hired into a startup. The day I got hired the manager took the team out to lunch and I asked them how each one got hired. So results: White male - Room mate of employee White male - Room mate of employee

I really like the "Here's what's not changing" section. Honorable mention for Twilio. Also, the kind of platform companies where you sign up and play tend to get acquired and become the kind where you sign up and a sales

Contract jobs are never part of layoffs. OTOH, not all full time roles have an actual human assigned. They could also be budgeted for, but not filled yet. Post 2008, managers usually kept a couple of unfilled roles for events like this.
