This brought back memories when I was an OS/2 User. I miss that desktop.

Is still worth giving Usenet a try again? Are there any technology Usenet groups that are still active and worth subscribing to?

IIRC, Amazon wages weren't that great to begin with.

Production is the best testing environment after all.

As a public cloud engineer, it feels like this is a mistake to cut deeply right when cloud repatriation is starting to be a thing.

It is on their web site:

> Someone realised that if they just don't give feedback for interviews then they can't say something incriminating that could prove they violated labor laws, then everyone started doing it and now it's just the thing that's done.

(Note: I am assuming this is true in the US. This is may not be true in other countries)

Job seeking is inherently a confidential activity for many people, as the interviewee want to make sure that their current job is safe before leaving for a new role. To sue a company because they didn't get the role is to put their current role at risk.

In addition, the company has a lot more power and resources than the interviewee. They can drag the process out to the point where the interviewee withdraws, runs out of money or settle. Given that, the interviewee has to have significant proof as well as resources and privilege to able to successfully sue the company.

All things considering, I don't think the idea of not providing feedback because of legal liabilities is sound.

BigThink, ironically, is sponsored by the Charles Koch Foundation.

This feels like the same argument that is given here in the US[0], which mean that in general, most of the housing is not likely to be usable anyway.

Depending on the business or OP's role, they may not have a choice in the sofware they support.

Given the health care in the US, that isn't surprising.

> many people feel it is an attack on the spirit of copyleft.

What exactly is the spirit of copyleft? I see this said a number of times, but it doesn't appear to be fully articulated.

I wish Usenet becomes popular again.

I mis-read the title as NewRelic, and I thought "Their user-based pricing has now come back to bite them"

That is not accurate, incidentally.

> "It's an interesting myth, and one I've heard about in general terms, although I've never heard the specific quote before. However, I have no recollection of any instance of its actually happening with 1-2-3 or with any other product I've worked on." And, "My memory of the early days (1984-85) is that we would get early betas of DOS to test with 1-2-3 and any errors that we found were 'bugs' in DOS and fixed by Microsoft."

> Try to imagine a customer with a working copy of 1-2-3 who installed a new version of DOS and 1-2-3 stopped working. Would they blame Lotus or Microsoft? Would their reaction be "1-2-3 sucks" or "DOS sucks"? Would their solution be to get rid of 1-2-3, or stop buying DOS upgrades?

Those 40,000 - 60,000 "residences" are not necessarily available or even occupy-able. And the number of homeless is very like an under-estimate[0].

Gargoyles?

The term for this is Itano Circus, made famous in Macross

> This sounds good if family relationships are priority.

I would like to think that should the default if you have a family.

That is what background checks are for. They are irritating, but at least that would let the job candidate apply without having to fill in all the crap from the get go.

I look forward to ordering my favorite Thai delivery[1] from LA

Given the topic, if I want to get a reasonably reliable and safe e-scooter, which would you recommend?

This leaves CFEngine as the last OG independent configuration management vendor:

Saltstack - acquired by VMWare

Ansible - acquired by Red Hat

Chef - acquired by Progress software

They still are a big deal, only you can manage up to thousands of them and with modern automation, if you screw up one, you screw up all of them.

During my teen years playing around with my PCs, this was literally my ASMR.

EDIT: I realize that it needs the sounds of the hard drive itself being defraged.

> I'd be willing to place a wager that there will be a $100mm company that is only IPv6 by 2030.

And at 60 percent usage, it will probably be India[1]

It looks like it counts multiple clicks.

> CentOS Stream is a bleeding edge OS mirroring Debian Unstable

It most accurate so that Stream is Debian Testing, since it will be a minor version ahead. Bleeding edge would be Fedora.

And you can get support for it*

*assuming that you on the technical support plan on your account.

Cheeky, google. What's next, type Windows and you suggest Linux?
