The statement is very informative. The bug happens under increased read/write operations to the same file causing a race condition.

I also found interesting:

Despite the bug being present in OpenZFS for many years, this issue has not been found to impact any TrueNAS systems. The bug fix is scheduled to be included in OpenZFS 2.2.2 within the next week

I would appretiate if someone could explain the practical utility of snippets because it just dawned on me how useful they might be.

thanks.

The last gleam of hope I had was last year when John Oliver did an episode on data brokers. He in turn went and purchased data that would match congressmen in the D.C. area, along with their "interests." He jokingly threatened to release it (bc congressmen tend to act on an issue if it affects them personally). I thought that would be huge, everybody would see how rampant and invasive data collection would be. I was thrilled for a breakthrough.

but so far no movement, hasn't been released. I wonder if people wrote to John Oliver and his team if we will get an answer haha

What is incredible about this product is that I can speak normally and fluently as I normally do.

The need to look at the output as you speak is only necessary if you expect there to be errors. FUTO, amazingly, performs extremely well in this regard and I have a high confidence in not being able to trip it up. I don't feel that I need to look down at a live transcription.

This whole comment was written using FUTO voice input. I'm definitely going to donate to them.

my go to is "I have a very broad exposure in my current role but im mostly interested in XYZ and want to specialize in it"

where XYZ is the subject matter for the role you're interviewing for.

I try not to give my real reasons, especially if negative

another problem with tech tests is how broad of scope they cover - like everything you've learned when pursuing your degree.

Most other professional engineering disciplines have licensing obtained using FE and PE exams. Those exams are effectively "tech tests" equivalents but after passing them you get a license that you have to maintain. I can appreciate this approach since you can take CEU (continuing education) to maintain your license instead of taking the entire test all over again.

I never though software engineers would need a license but I would MUCH rather prefer grind to obtain a license ONCE which then I can use to fulfill tech test requirements and maintain the license with much less effort throughout the year.

A lot of my answers I get answered with ChatGPT. And I can always ask ChatGPT to tell me where I can look to verify the answer. I find myself on stack overflow for very specific or very technical topics.

i take a Phoenix approach with my dotfiles.

Once a decade when my computer crashes and burns, from the ashes emerges a blank slate of dotfiles that is purged of all unnecessary hacks that have accumulated. With a tear and a hopeful outlook, I rush to set the settings I am actually dependent on.

I really need to take more interest in backing up my dotfiles 😭

I'm not a manager but sometimes get roped into interviewing candidates, I really like when they ask the following because it opens up a discussion about "pace" of the team and organization of the department. It also sets the expectations.

What are your expectations of me after 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months of bringing me onboard?

In fact, I like this question so much that I'll answer it at the end of the interview even if not asked, I just feel more awkward doing so inorganically. Sometimes we are back-filling a position and the new hire needs to own features by 6 months. Other times we are hiring to expand, in which case there is more runway. Bottom line is, we can discuss if both parties are comfortable with expectations because we want our candidates to succeed. And I as a candidate want to draw boundaries if I am not comfortable.

see comment above, but in short twitter need not hire cloudflare for services. Cloudflare plays an important role in the backbone of the internet. If twitter is resolved through cloudflare's DNS, cloudflare can estimate the volume of traffic to Twitter.com. This appears what had happened given the published graph is "DNS ranking". FYI, and for mine as well as I just discovered, we can generate that graph by our selves by using cloudflare's Radar API

balls ... ChatGPT not doesn't reply in the context of the previous message. bad bot

I will admit reading the reasons against Linux made me a bit butthurt given how much it has accomplished and the ubiquity of it running on servers that host our services.

However, a (real time operating system) RTOS is distinct from a time-sharing operating system, such as Unix, which manages the sharing of system resources with a scheduler, data buffers, or fixed task prioritization in a multitasking or multiprogramming environment. And a time-sharing kernel is likely not suitable for the demands of real-time feedback that airplanes, especially fighter planes, are under. Admittingly I don't work on the kernels so I might be out of my league talking about it if there are ways to optimize them for RTOS applications. And I also don't work on airplane but hobby learning about them.

In an airplane, the pilots are voting members. If they they are nose diving and tell the airplane to pull up, the airplane will calculate how much of the full range of motion to allow the flaps to "bite" the air so that the plane doesn't desintigrate. This takes into account speed, altitude, air density, load on wings, load on frame, G forces pilots would experience, etc etc.
