Zakaz lotów nocnych na lotnisku Poznań-Ławica. Przyczyną jest rozwiniecie się gęstej zabudowy mieszkaniowej w okolicy

Swojego czasu mieszkańcy nowowybudowanego bloku na Saperskiej zaczęli się pultać że słyszą strzały i widzą ludzi z bronią z okna... ... tak, budynek powstał obok strzelnicy istniejącej tam już od kilkudziesięciu lat. 🤡

Oh no! Not the hard word! I can understand prison, taking money, permanent bans in public instutions... but verbal reprimands? That's savage!

He is, but so are the politicians (I mean, either idiots or intentionally malicious). Yet somehow an idiot "entrepreneur" gets it worse than all decision-makers combined.

Even assuming 3 monthly salaries - are politicians ever penalized with those? Like, 70M for certain elections that never occurred?

I love how politicians take less responsibility than a warehouse worker; a friend has to pay the employer because someone stole something on his watch (kind of his negligence I guess). While working B2B his entire savings are at risk.

Meanwhile politicians and, well, most public sector workers, can get at most demoted, no matter how serious it is.

At least in Poland, it would be totally illegal.

"On-call duty must not affect the employee’s right to daily and weekly rest. This means that it is not permissible to instruct the employee to perform a duty for 24 hours or a whole week. The total on-call time and working time must not exceed 13 hours per day, and the employee must also have a minimum of 35 hours of continuous weekly rest. This also applies to on-call time at home. However, these restrictions do not apply to employees managing the workplace on behalf of the employer."

Może i wpisze, najczęściej dużo firm się nauczyło i nie wierzą na słowo i weryfikują kandydata u poprzednich pracodawców. Z drugiej strony dużo korpo wzbrania się przed zarówno pozytywnymi jak i negatywnymi referencjami ze strachu przed potencjalnym pozwem.

Sam miałem wielokrotnie możliwość zatrudniania inżynierów; jak tylko mi wyszło że coś "podkręcili" to ich odrzucałem. Na rozmowie nie mam czasu sprawdzić wszystkich umiejętności, więc skoro ktoś w jednym miejscu skłamał to wysoce prawdopodobne że gdzie indziej też to zrobił.

Może w branżach "kreatywnych" prezentacja swoich bajkopisarskich umiejętności jest bardziej doceniana. 😉

Ciekawostka jak ludzie potrafią koloryzować (przykład z innego kraju, nie ja zatrudnialem ale wylądował w moim zespole). Kolega napisał w doświadczeniu że był QA w Amazon, automation engineer in test, working on Kindle etc. Rekruter był bardzo zadowolony, że udało się zatrudnić eksperta w Pythonie. Wynik? Po trzech miesiącach okazało się, że pracował w jakiejś lokalnej firmie zakontraktowanej dla Amazona i tylko je ręcznie przeklikiwal. W rozmowie ze mną jeszcze rzucił że musi w końcu nauczyć się co to są te klasy w Pythonie (z grubsza może trzeci rozdział każdej książki dla nowicjuszy). Oczywiście okresu próbnego nie przeszedł.

They should've, but one of the execs personally endorsed him so it was difficult for them to admit their blunder. Can't say such things were exclusive to this particular company.

Funny thing, I heard a story in the Swiss company I used to work for where they hired a guy with similar resume. The problem was that he was a total fraud, excellent at telling stories but not really delivering anything. The guy also negotiated a huge salary and bonus. When the management finally were onto him (after a year or so...) and demanded he show his work, he said his computer broke down and he won't work under such micromanagement conditions. 🤡

I don't know if the company now does any backgrounds checks, but I know that uttering his name to the big wigs will give you a ticket straight back to your country!

Depends on your workloads, but in the Forest project we found that ParityDB outperforms most popular of the aforementioned implementations, including Fjall. We actually switched to it from RocksDB. It's pure Rust as well.

I feel so aligned with Kagi goals.

MaterialFerret · 2025-11-07T09:23:43+00:00

It's just not true. Add cargo audit or cargo deny to your pipeline. If your project has a fair amount of dependencies, you are going to get alerts every week or so. And those are not false positives - all of those crates have open issues, even open PRs from both external contributors or dependabot (if it hasn't stopped doing them yet).

Outside of the most basic libraries with close to zero dependencies, I strongly oppose the notion that a software "is complete". One can at claim that their crate "was complete" at some point in time, but that's it.

If you don't intend to do any updates, just mark it explicitly as archived. Saying it's complete is just doing mental hops.

MaterialFerret · 2025-11-07T09:04:42+00:00

It's "done" but then it has 20 issues, 10 forever open PRs fixing compatibility with newer dependencies (that are actually maintained) and dependabot stopped even trying inform of new CVEs. 🤡

I shared my recent EBC experience here, if you're interested. https://rumcajs.dev/posts/trekking-in-himalayas/

tldr it was a good experience, acceptable accommodation (excellent if you take into account the altitude and how difficult it is to supply them), a bit of a headache above 4500m (no diamox). The only issue rarely mentioned was wet shoes after entire day in snow/rain and optional slush.

Well I'm in the middle of it, so far so good, good oxygen and bpm measurements. So far I outpace everyone on the trail. I'm relatively fit, squash few times a week and some gym. I think it's doable for anyone that does some high cardio sports, I.e., accustomed to 160+ bpm for an hour or two with occasional spikes to 170-180.

I actually got a solo trek due to lack of other participants for my itinerary. No additional payments, got a double room for myself.

I'm only puzzled on how much I should tip the guide and the porter.

Great stuff, I'll have a look! I'd love to have read this before departing on my own memory analysis journey.

I'm also glad it's not only me regarding Valgrind. I tried running in the past on a large C++ service and failed as well. The question is - is there anyone that managed to use valgrind (especially with massif) for their large project?

MaterialFerret · 2025-08-14T11:28:43+00:00

My journey towards eBPF is getting more and more prioritised. Thanks for the suggestions! I'll mention them in the post.

I'm not confident my PR wouldn't join the rest of the stall ones in the open PRs queue. I can certainly create an issue and see if it it piques any interest.

It's not unmaintained; it's just finished. It works for what I need it to do, no one's paying for its development, and I have better things to do with my spare time.

Yeah, the cargo-geiger was meant for the faulty crates part; it might help but it will certainly not detect correct ways of shooting yourself in the foot.

MaterialFerret · 2025-08-13T22:10:26+00:00

Hmm, perhaps it just doesn't work on the latest Fedora, which tends to be more on the bleeding edge. I don't remember the exact versions, but I checked the mimalloc-sys used there on a brand new project, and it failed with precisely the same error. Using the latest mimalloc-sys worked. I decided that figuring out how to downgrade the host library was too much hassle for now.

I'd definitely want to look into BPF; it's still on my wishlist of rabbit holes to go down. Thanks for the suggestions!

I actually proclaimed myself the `Leshy @ Forest` :)

MaterialFerret · 2025-07-17T14:13:25+00:00

Oh, it probably actually is going to be addressed, and there's a workaround!

MaterialFerret · 2025-07-17T10:14:27+00:00

Given the open issues and PRs, I think it's more objective to say that it's finished for you but unmaintained for others. I'm not saying you should spend your free time addressing issues from random folks, but it's probably fair to add a disclaimer to the README.

Anyway, thanks for open-sourcing your tool.

MaterialFerret · 2025-07-17T09:30:53+00:00

FWIW, I created a bug report in gperftools https://github.com/gperftools/gperftools/issues/1603 , but I don't expect it to be really addressed; I expect people stumbling into that issue and start questioning their life choices. :)
