If they can do that, with better results than what I can offer, I am fine with that. Good luck to all people involved. I'll survive.

To be fair they could already do it. As said we are all "remote" among offices. They have never done it. And I am not afraid for my position.

Thanks, my understanding as well. A clickbait title...

So it's not general to every linux distro, is it?

Problem is that world needs more scientists, but scientists are force to do more "realistic" useless job because of broken economical and academic systems

This is what happened to southern Italians after 2008. 6 months was a long term plan. Some stayed unemployed living with parents, other emigrated (in UK among others) to take jobs local wouldn't do and living (surviving...) in crappy places. Luckiers (like me) were able to study to the highest level to stay competitive thanks to scholarships.

The luckiers, with a lot of effort and many miles traveled, now have a family and a decent career (I am one), but it is important not to give up. Keep planning on the 6 months range, and try to resist the anxiety of the long term planning.

Life is a marathon

My job can be done 100% remotely. While in office I am "remote", because team is displaced among different cities.

If an Indian can do better than me, it's fair, they can take it. I am not racist. If my company outsource my job in India to save money, I am happy I won't be working there anymore. A company that value a quick, short term saving over its employees is a bad company. They'd have anyway to re insource my position in 5 years anyway, we know how this things work

I don't see anything wrong in this picture. ML == funny!

"AI Casino" vs "old school nights banging heads on books"

Edit. Guys, it was a joke, do I really need to put /s?

Non-CO2 pollutants are side products of combustion. A cleaner combustion reduces their amount. Cleaner combustion occurs in healthy, well engineered engines with the help of clean catalytic converters. It means that new and expansive cars are less pollutant.

That's why. Usa and Canada have better cars

Never had issues in the past, I actually did the tests for few friends, just for fun. But most of the time they are overkill. Now that I have more experience I realize it takes few very basic questions to understand if one is technically fit for the job.

I don't know if I would appreciate a complex test now if I was looking for a new position. It feels a bit disrespectful.

I currently struggle accepting all the psychological and hr tests for management positions... They are hr bs. I do them, but they are imho much worse than technical test, because completely useless and arbitrary. Those are really offensive and intrusive

Thant's mildly disappointing, more than infuriating... Unless you have anger issues of course

Elsevier is pure evil

A non binary person would be "una persona non binaria", which is a gendered word, female.

It partially makes sense. Non-binary in Spanish is gendered depending on the subject. But it is not a real gender. Person is "female", human being is "male". But they are generic words

Do whatever you want. Someone has learned something from you at some point. That's how life works

It targets router firmwares though... These bot farms do not usually target real gnu/Linux os, because it is easier and more effective to attack router firmwares that are not well configured by producers and telcoms, and are practically never upgraded.

Therefore they are not a real threat for standard mint or popOS user... Let alone gentoo users

Edit. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirai_(malware)

I use python professionaly. Never seen a real successful supply chain attack on libraries used by "normal" people. There was recently a supply chain attack to pytorch, that I remember, but it was solved within few hours.

It is not a real risk for non developers. It is a risk, but veeery low, miles lower than pdf.exe.

Just check this stat for ransomwares taken as an example of viruses: https://www.statista.com/statistics/701020/major-operating-systems-targeted-by-ransomware/

Windows server is ~20% of server market. Still it is there second, with in practice no GNU/linux (80% of server market). This is why people do not really worry much, the risk exists, but it is minimal for well configured system compared to competition, even where competitors are a niche and Linux machines are the main target.

On windows, an antivirus is not a bad idea... On Linux, a firewall and basic care are usually sufficient

I agree with you, but, it is also true that the overwhelming majority of ransomwares affect windows https://www.statista.com/statistics/701020/major-operating-systems-targeted-by-ransomware/

Linux is not a significant target despite being so diffused

Edit. For those downvoting, windows server is ~20% of the server market and it is second in that stat. GNU/Linux distros such as rhel, debian and so on are almost 80% of server market and still there are no sufficient attacks reported to end up in that stat

Ok, than the experiment you are doing is just to check how many attacks you can get over a certain time... It is not really representative of a common use case. And again, this is not a virus. It is a successful attack from a bot on a purposely misconfigured service exposed to the internet. An antivirus is not needed. What is needed is basic configuration. An antivirus cannot help there

And disable password authentication as first step

Does the attack succeed? Never happened to me. You see bot trying, but really never seen succeeding irl. How is it configured?

Do you have also a rdp honeypot by chance? Do you see different rates of attack? Honestly curious.

I don't have any windows licenses around, otherwise, it would have been an interesting test

Because someone else might need to work on something on or from my branches. And I don't want garbage in my history. There are cases I might not be able to squash merge, so all my history will be in the project history. I want each commit to be clean. It is not a lot of effort, and forces me to increase code quality, because I review my code more often.

Rules for all projects I manage: never rebase published branches and always publish clean code (even implementation is unfinished).

From experience following these simple rules make the whole project management easier and more effective
