I enjoy reading far out theories like these. I recently[1] saw one that claimed all the weird tunnels that terminate just short of the outside resemble wave guides, the big tunnel with the grooves was a low pass filter and the whole structure was basically a giant antenna

Any electrical engineers around feel like modelling it seeing how true it is?

Here's Linus' take:

  You need to realize that  
  
  (a) reality trumps fantasy  
  
  (b) kernel needs trump any Rust needs  
  
  And the reality is that there are no absolute guarantees. Ever. The "Rust is safe" is not some kind of absolute guarantee of code safety. Never has been. Anybody who believes that should probably re-take their kindergarten year, and stop believing in the Easter bunny and Santa Claus.

  If you cannot get over the fact that the kernel may have other requirements that trump any language standards, we really can't work together.

I'm not sure how this relates to the post, can you elaborate?

"Enter" then ~ then . will kill a hung SSH connection, instead of having to close the terminal tab. I use it all the time but most people haven't heard of it.

> So we share your jobs on our site. A candidate applies. You interview them and decide to hire them. You notify us you hired them. We send you an invoice. You pay us a fee.

I'm absolutely stunned that this works.

> For one thing, our contract imposes a late fee for failing to notify us of a successful hire. And the fee increases every month that they don't tell us. This is a pretty good deterrent.

Is it? It sounds like a pretty good deterrent to being honest...!

Anyway, I can't argue with the figures, if true.

keep reading, candidates get a little something if they tell the site they used it to get hired

This is great but I also wish that Toyota would start shipping a lot more EVs. They have been far behind the trend and made some poor bets on the future of technology. I fear that the poor renewable resources available to Japan, compared to most nations, has colored their judgement when it comes to the global market.

I would love an EV Sienna, for example. Really hate that moment of filling up with gas with my kids in the car, the cognitive dissonance of fucking over their future in such direct sight is painful.

elktea · 4 years ago

EVs are not going to prevent fucking over the future. There is no good future where we continue to produce 70 million new cars per year.

I enjoy Kagi, results are great. I hope the pricing comes down a little in future.

edit: just paid, it came to about $15AUD after bank conversion fees which is about the price of a streaming service here.
