I protest voted one year because I hated the candidates. That was the year Trump got elected. I’m never doing that again. Lina’s well worth supporting in the next few elections, but the real options this year are already set. Everything else is equivalent to not voting at all.
I really like the idea of thoughts having inertia. It fits so well
I don’t see how that can be used to make performant code though. I usually want to make my locked regions as small as possible to avoid how long other threads are blocked for.
I knew someone who did this but swapped out the physical hard drive each time. I wouldn’t dual boot because then it’s much more obvious to IT what you’ve done.
This is only realistically feasible though if the hard drive is easily accessible. If it’s something like a Mac or soldered in dual booting is your only choice. As others have said, this could get you in a lot of trouble with your company. Check the docs you’ve signed
Ublock origin on Firefox. You’ll be shocked at how fast pages will load
Well I see the 5th pin from the top on the far left looks like it’s missing solder. The rest of the board is extremely dirty and hard to tell.
It shouldn’t break if you just install packages from the main app installer. It’s more of a concern if you’re trying to install anything from source.
Also make sure to try a live cd or live USB to make sure the OS is compatible with your hardware. VM is not sufficient for this last one. This is usually only an issue if you have very new hardware.
I would get comfortable with the idea of breaking things. Make regular backups of your data. The best that I’m aware of for making it easy to work backwards from breaking things is NixOS, but I wouldn’t consider it beginner friendly.
You learn a lot from trying to bring a system back online. But it depends if you’re trying Linux to learn it more or just to take advance of privacy.
Yes, though this is true of a lot of the easier distros.
Not a lawyer, but worked closely with them in the past. It REALLY depends on your employment contract. Changing variable names and language still makes it a derivative work, so it would depend on the original license. I’m assuming it doesn’t have a license which would mean either you or the company owns the copyright: depends on your employment contract. Whether you’re a contractor or full time also affects ownership.
Without ownership or a license, you do not have the legal right to copy the work or make a derivative of it.
I’m not clear on whether you actually wrote any code though. If that’s the case (that no code was written) then I’m not really sure how that works out. If you do post it and they find out, AND they’re mad about it, you could definitely get fired. I’m not sure if there could also be legal trouble or not.
If you need it for a resume item, you can just list it on your resume and talk about it. You could also implement it on your own time (but not share it until you’re sure you’re safe from legal action), that way you could talk about tradeoffs you’ve made, etc. in the real implementation.
In general, if you’re not sure and you’re worried about getting sued, you should ask a lawyer.
I was newish to Linux and had just run rm -rf ./.* to remove all the hidden files/dirs in a directory. I then wanted to run rm -rf ./* to clear the rest, but I accidentally ran rm -rf . /*. By the time I noticed it was taking too long and hit Ctrl+C, it was too late.
What IT guys did you go to?
That would be awesome. I don’t use Godot regularly but I do play around with it from time to time.
How complex are the API calls you need to make? Debugging interop mismatch can end up being more work than writing the tests if you need to deal with complex types.
The .NET languages support c interop. The documentation could use some love though.
Had a team of 10 working nights and weekends for a month because someone in sales sold a contract for an integration with a 3rd party that didn’t exist yet. In the years I was there after that project shipped, only 1 person even looked at the feature, one time. It never actually got used
Malbolge https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malbolge
It required a cryptanalyst to write hello world.
Even worse is Windows batch scripts. The syntax also changes depending on if it’s in the terminal or run from a file
It’s still early days and the devs are constantly working through bugs, server load from new users, and recently hacking attempts. It’ll take some time to be stable as any new project does.
Companies like Meta can build Threads in a more stable initial release because they already have the infrastructure and money to build out capacity. They can also reuse stable internal code that has had years of testing/improvements. But then you’re trading your privacy.
You having regrets depends on your expectations. If you want a very stable system with little maintenance then you’ll be happy. Packages will be older but that’s what makes it easy to keep stable.
I’m not personally a fan of vanilla Debian because the stable versions are a bit too outdated for the things I like to work with. I do use Debian derivatives though the LTS versions.
