radiator··on I'm sorry but I cannot fulfill this request it goes against OpenAI use policy
Whyever would one prompt ChatGPT with your question? If you have this information, you can write the title yourself. The response was not that different to the question.
radiator··on Google Cuts Jobs in Engineering and Other Divisions
This is quite deep. And delivered in socratic style, nonetheless.
radiator··on Is my plane a 737 MAX?
People spend so much more time inside cars than inside airplanes every year, that such a comparison seems disingenuous. You should normalize the deaths by time travelled.
radiator··on OpenBSD KDE Plasma Desktop
With what purpose? Why do you want two different directories? On second thought, maybe you mean ~/Uploads could be unveiled read-only, though I still don't believe this brings much.
radiator··on OpenBSD KDE Plasma Desktop
I guess it has always been like this in Unix, but also in other Operating Systems.
radiator··on OpenBSD KDE Plasma Desktop
Besides firefox, more than 80 userland programs have their access to the filesystem restricted with the use of unveil.
radiator··on OpenBSD KDE Plasma Desktop
Pro: A website can never steal your SSH keys, because firefox is limited, via unveil(2), to only seeing your ~/Downloads folder.

Con: Every time you need to upload a file using your browser, you have to move it to this folder first.

radiator··on Software engineering salaries come from one of three budgets
> The projects that cost money upfront (OPEX) and can provably reduce recurring costs (CAPEX)

So you mean OPEX are upfront costs, and CAPEX are recurring costs?

radiator··on Fewer people are buying electric cars in the US
> But instead of spending the money on a house big enough to host those dinner parties, you could host them at a fancy restaurant, with better food. This is borderline infuriating. To suggest that a day with the extended family, which might include people from three different generations, at home could ever be replaced with two hours at a restaurant.
radiator··on Unix as IDE (2012)
I don't know about Macbooks, but if the company-provided Laptop runs Windows, tmux + editor is nowadays very easy using WSL2.
radiator··on The life and death of open source companies
> please do try!

This is not very convincing as a reply to the risks pointed out in the previous post. The choice of the word "try" seemingly recognizes the risk of failure, but you seem to ignore the serious consequences of such a failure for founder and employees. I mean, this is not a game.

radiator··on From Nand to Tetris (2017)
But this is just a matter of how thinly one chooses to partition the axis of time. You cannot have as many eras as points in time. Therefore, eras are intervals of time. So today and the 1940s can well belong to the same era, esp. given that human history extends thousands of years to the past.
radiator··on Dear ImGui: Graphical User Interface library for C++
This is for the creators to decide. Nobody else has a say, really.
radiator··on The "Cheap" Web
This is very deep. I like this mathematical explanation of why we get either Gemini, which nobody uses, or the modern web.
radiator··on More product, fewer product managers
I would have thought every manager asks such questions either to himself or to the team quite often.
radiator··on SSH keys stolen by stream of malicious PyPI and NPM packages
Good idea. We could use a way to restrict visibility of the entine filesystem and only unveil the parts of it that every program declares/needs.
radiator··on OpenBao – FOSS Fork of HashiCorp Vault
Does your company have a dedicated team for operating vault? Is it reliable?
radiator··on Ask HN: How to admit that you don't want to be on the manager track anymore?
How to admit? Why use the verb admit in the first place, it is telling of a defeatist attitude.

This is still a matter of communication, you need to explain to them your situation and your wishes. You already did it in writing here, and quite well. You could prepare written notes and have them with you during the meeting.

radiator··on Modern XMPP Server
Because it is no longer updated, it says so on the top.
radiator··on Should you split that file?
Yes. I would have liked to add something more, but you have said everything there is to say about this subject.
radiator··on The Lack of Compensation in Open Source Software Is Unsustainable
I think it is too long.
radiator··on A coder considers the waning days of the craft
To me, the only obscure thing about this is that it is a one-liner.

If you write it in three lines, it is fine. Although, I guess the second find and the grep could be shortened, combined into one command.

radiator··on Porsche Open Source Platform
Why did you put the word german in quotes?
radiator··on NetBSD 10.0 RC1
If you use containers for development and deployment, FreeBSD can run them, but AFAIK the other two cannot.
radiator··on Cosmopolitan Third Edition
Perhaps, by the same authors, redbean, which "embeds Lua, SQLite, and MbedTLS into a fork() driven application server" ... " a great fit for when you want to build an app that's vertically integrated into a single tiny file that runs on nearly all PCs and servers". It looks like as of now, greenbean exists as well.
radiator··on Why cloud bandwidth is so obscenely expensive and what you can do about that
Exactly, they were communicating in the russian language.
radiator··on LinkedIn is laying off nearly 700 employees
I thought he actually meant that they contact him in foreign languages.
radiator··on Ask HN: How to be a manager? Any good sources for learning how to delegate?
Why don't you read some books?

- Out of the crisis and The new economics, Deming

- Workplace Management and Toyota Production System, Ohno

- Peopleware, DeMarco & Lister

- Managing the professional service firm, Meister (delegation)

- Leadership Handbook, US Army

radiator··on White House warns of ‘unprecedented’ Serbian troop buildup on Kosovo border
> A Serbian emigrant here... > I just hope NATO does us a favor and actually go all the way and occupies the country

Yeah, it is good that you are no longer in Serbia, but you should stop calling yourself Serbian because you very clearly are not.

radiator··on How a four-day workweek works, from the companies pulling it off
Yes. I have tried both Friday off and Wednesday off and the latter is better. Fridays at work are more relaxed anyway, so there is less value in skipping them.
