I’ve interviewed like 60 people this year. On one hand, I’m sure I’m better calibrated now than I was at first. On the other hand, this is no longer fun. I want off of the interview merry-go-round

As was asserted here, if the US government can (1) revoke legal status at any time while the holder is in the US; and (2) jail someone for overstaying a visa; then any person in the US who isn’t a citizen can be jailed at USCIS’s whim.

Was reminded of the French version of "algorithms were invented in the 9th century by Muhammad Algorithm".
The French word for "trash can" is "poubelle", named after Eugène Poubelle, who decreed in the late 1800s that Paris landlords must provide waste containers (with lids!) for their tenants […]

I dislike framing current Linux system on hppa, alpha, or m68k as reducing e-waste. If that was true, current Linux system on i386 (non-SSE) would be about reducing e-waste, but https://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2024/11/msg00459.html is the realistic take about that: There’s so much x86_64 […]

It’s good that they changed their mind on sending troops to the Bay Area, but that’s the result of actual, brazen oligarchic behavior: Trump didn’t listen to Californian elected officials but he did listen to his billionaire buddies.
