Were it not for the pandemic, you might have a point. But there are real risks associated with being physically around other people right now, particularly if the offices happen to be poorly ventilated open offices. Amazon's offices spaces are notoriously (in the Seattle area, where I lived and worked until recently) not exactly fantastic in that regard. I can see the reluctance to RTO based on that alone.
... only 8GB ram is intentionally shitting all over your customers.
haha, man. the first pc video card i ever owned had two megabytes of vram and that felt *huge*. how times change!
"Sorry I can't come to work today, boss. I've developed a bad case of rectal glaucoma: I just can't see my ass coming in!"

This is why that meeting that could've been an email
openbsd rules.
to make something approaching real content here though, I gave openbsd 7.0 a spin recently for something and the upgrade to 7.1 was incredibly polished compared to the last time I used openbsd (circa 3.0), on par with something like an Ubuntu dist-upgrade, and package management vastly improved. big thumbs up to the team for the usability work that went in on those areas!
transmet is a delightfully bonkers sci-fi/political thriller epic; the series has completed and is available as a (ten? iirc?) volume collection via amazon et al.
If it was just a matter of the business owners saying "no, go away" that'd be one thing. When they organized mass harassment against the plaintiffs, that's a different matter altogether, and that part seems to be missing from much of the media coverage of the case (particularly on right-biased media sources).
I'd be interested to hear about the cases where you can't use a destructor, or where the compiler won't call a struct's destructor, if you care to provide a bit more detail.
Bruce Schneier did not boycott the RSA Conference. Instead, Schneier also attended TrustyCon.
The default configs for postgres are set for a fairly small memory usage profile (*), which is fine if that's what you need (e.g. tiny vm or something that makes it a huge production to raise things like max shm size), but if you have sufficient ram, you can crank a hell of a lot more performance out of the engine by making the configs less conservative. This page is a good start: http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Tuning_Your_PostgreSQL_Server
Not that it's a priori *wrong* to run with the defaults, it'll still work just fine, but once you start having significant traffic or complicated queries you'll be happier if it more fully uses the system resources available.
(*) It's been a good while since I last had to take a pg instance from stock and tune it, but I very vaguely recall the default settings were on the order of a eight megabytes of ram usage.
(assuming it really is a great school, which I have serious doubts)
For what it's worth, Cornell is currently ranked something like fifth in the US(*) in terms of their computer science department, and the Technion is hardly a degree mill either. I don't know what their hybrid programs are going to be like, but at least the source departments seem solid. Admittedly, rankings are largely bullshit and the student guarantees far more of outcome than the institution, but I don't think it's a stretch to say that the "Stanford/MIT/CMU/UCB/Cornell" group is good-to-great.
Hahahaha. Have you ever visited NYC, let alone lived there? Getting a cab can be a pain in the ass even in mid-town. "Oh, look the 500th fuckin cab that's full or off duty! Might as well stand here with my arm in the air for another twenty minutes like a fucking tourist!"
The MTA may get you where you want to go, but might take two hours to do it. JFK to BX w/out MNR, anyone?
Seriously tell me hailing a cab is easy after you've tried to do it while standing in the snow an hour after bars close and you don't want to take three more God-forsaken hours to get home to an outer borough shithole apartment that costs $waytoofuckinmuch... Not that I'm bitter.
Any program which runs right is obsolete.
