Looking to Adopt - Advice Pls :)
  • Young, female.

    Don't get one if you ever intend to travel together and don't have parents/close friends to leave them with. Cats are amazing but after they develop their little neuroticisms, you'll never feel comfortable leaving them with strangers.

    If you live in a house in anything but the most remote places, keep them locked up otherwise they'll go missing one day and it'll break your heart.

    Other than that there's not much that can go wrong, just pick the one you vibe more with and that's it.

    One Of The Rust Linux Kernel Maintainers Steps Down - Cites "Nontechnical Nonsense"
  • It's always been this way. Except that it was kernel developers arguing with kernel developers over C code. Now it's relative newcomers arguing with kernel developers over Rust code that the kernel devs don't necessarily care about. Of course it's going to be a mess.

    A fork is of course possible, but operating systems are huge and very complex, you really don't want to alienate these folks that have been doing exclusively this for 30 years. It would be hard to keep the OS commercially viable with a smaller group and having to do both the day to day maintenance, plus the rewrite. It's already difficult as it is currently.

    Rust will be a huge success in time, long after the current names have lost their impetus. This is not a "grind for 4 years and it's done" project.

    Valheim: Ashlands game update and animated trailer released.
  • Hey, so I finally reached the ashlands. Yeah, still think the trailer is misleading. Like everything about it, except the staff of protection.

    Unfortunately, the ashlands is the most boring place in the whole game (haven't reached the castle thing with a beacon though). Fast skeleton, slow skeleton, archer skeleton. Troll spider, big dog, fire blob. Inventory full within 30s because there's 15 different types of material to collect. Maybe I should be pulling a cart around like in the trailer.

    Guys, what's a toxic trait other guys sometimes have
  • Yeah, sorry but this one is just counterproductive. Guys just don't give a fuck. No one is going around "ooh, what if I pretend I can't do this task so she then has to do it". That's just patriarchy and gender roles for you. Maybe try to have a conversation about the subject of chores without sticking the "you're evil" tag on the other person. Well, for anything in life really. Also mental load is there for anyone, I see no point in bringing it up in this context. The dudes have to deal with a fair share of mental load as well, specially with all the emotional neglect and immaturity.

    How did orthopaedists started to use plate and screws to fix broken bones ?
  • There's human fossils where it's clear they poured molten bronze or something into a mans skull to patch the broken bone. Using metals to mend bones has been a practice since ever basically.

    No one could have anticipated this outcome
  • Actually not that bad, AK47s for arms mostly negates the praying mantis' most dangerous feature which is it's grip. Also, gorillas tend to use their hands while walking, so the AKs would get their barrels full of dirt.

    Or maybe this is more mantis body and gorilla members? Which would be just a cricket with a funny butt.

    Is there an example program that illustrates how a buffer overflow attack actually executes arbitrary code?
  • Words of wisdom right here.

    Personally, what bothers me about the security field is how quickly it becomes a counterproductive thing. Either by forcing people to keep working on time consuming processes like certifications or mitigation work (e.g. see the state of CVEs in the linux kernel) or simply by pumping out more and more engineers that have never put together a working solution in their lives. Building anything of value is already hard as it is nowadays.

    In your career, have you found a drama free workplace?
  • Yes, and it was my first job out of university. Incredible. It has set the standard for me. Everyone extremely polite, restrained, no oversharing, no politics discussions in the office, no drama. People would just gravitate towards those that shared their views and would have coffee breaks at different times than other groups. Everyone was painfully aware of how bad these things can get, so we all made an effort to keep the environment light.
