At my second job out of college, I had the perfect work setup that no other job has ever met. My development machine was a *NIX workstation, and the lab benches were set up by the systems group on a separate bench with it's own *NIX workstation.
The job wasn't the most interesting, but I've come full circle in that regard. Now stuck in a shitty Windows PC/Windows Network/Microsoft tools environment.

I wonder if anyone has really validated the "many eyes" concept in open source with respect to the number of eyes and number of open source projects. I'm not questioning the efficacy of code review, but just looking at numbers.
In order for code review to be effective, the set of reviewers must cover all the aspects that the code affects. That ranges from coding language to solution subject matter. It must also cover platform concerns like operating system and hardware.
Don't send me to space unless you can ensure protection against space brain.

So, I was getting a bunch of segfaults on an application... running in Python
Achievement unlocked!
The tinysubversions bot had a server issue and lost all the RSS feeds. I'm trying to decide if I should set them up again, fork the code and point to my own servers, or just use an RSS reader instead of Mastodon.

Revealed: the 20 firms behind a third of all carbon emissions

You have to remember that all the calls for personal responsibility with respect to climate change are too little. This doesn't mean stop, but it does mean that the effort is better spent in action that results in big governmental change.
Did a search for 'dead net'. Big mistake. Fucking Grateful Dead all over my screen.
All RSS feeds seem dead today. Did mastodon add a feature?

Disappearing Peruvian glaciers
It is common knowledge that glaciers are melting in most areas across the globe. The speed at which tropical glaciers in the Peruvian Andes are retreating is particularly alarming, however. In the first detailed investigation of all Peruvian mountain ranges, a research team has ascertained a drastic reduction of almost 30 percent in the area covered by glaciers between 2000 and 2016.

Another casualty of climate change? Recreational fishing
Another casualty of climate change will likely be shoreline recreational fishing, according to new research. The study finds some regions of the U.S. may benefit from increasing temperatures, but those benefits will be more than offset by declines in fishing elsewhere.

Even a Small Nuclear War Could Trigger a Global Apocalypse
This story was originally published by Wired and appears here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Stipulated: A nuclear war would be real bad. But, like, how bad, exactly? What if it wasn’t all-out, the United States and Russia throwing thousands of warheads at each other, but instead something more limited? Longtime adversaries India […]

The Trump Administration Has Figured out How to Get Rid of Federal Workers Without Firing Them
“It’s nearly impossible to fire a federal worker,” acting White House chief of staff and budget chief Mick Mulvaney told the audience at a South Carolina Republicans’ dinner in August. “I know that because a lot of them work for me, and I’ve tried. You can’t do it.” But Mulvaney reassured his audience that the […]
