If it’s for medicinal purposes, absolutely. There’s a reason every organ has multiple layers of their own filtering so stuff don’t end up in the wrong place, and lots of medicines are really potent stuff that absolutely shouldn’t end up in places where there’s no filtering in place for that kind of chemical. Very tiny amounts of literal neurotoxins can be used medicinally by putting them in the right places, and the very same very tiny amounts would kill you instantly if put in the wrong places.

Adapters? As many as you wish

Electric car charging works anywhere if you have an adapter

If you have a vehicle with a weird fuel type then there’s very few gas stations you can go to

Do you know there’s like 10 different major vaccines of which the major variants include dead virus, live modified virus, mRNA, sub-protein units, and at least one other tech?

Because Amazon pushes sellers to use Amazon warehouses and shipping their product in advance

A market of lemons

They can still collaborate old school way. You can publish static mirrors of git, then take email patches lol

And I have in fact left that kind of jobs myself. Not trivial in a job market like this one though.

Need to make unions stronger again.

The main issue here is that there’s a mismatch between userspace perception of state versus that of the kernel driver, and no standardized way to push that information (unless you make your desktop environment add that info by polling the filesystem driver)

Users definitely don’t want blocking dialogs if the userspace visible state is already updated enough to keep working. And ideally your software would check what kind of drive you’re using and report to you when it’s actually fully done as you close the program, but like I said this isn’t standardized

Shouldn’t be 5 min, but that’s what you get if the drive don’t have both enough RAM and capacitors to hold a decent write cache to extend it’s lifetime. Then the OS have to either wait for drive to report it’s done, or complete the sync from the file system driver’s cache. Or else you simply deal with it being both slower and dying faster…

On disc you have read/write misses and seeks, and due to constant RPM + geometry the read/write the speed literally varies with the physical distance of the written data from the center of the cylinder (more dots per arcsecond at the outer edge)

No, as I said to another, upper management has every opportunity to fix the budget. Your direct manager however can not

Upper management can certainly increase the budget. Your line manager probably can’t

finally my manager said something about the bonuses has already been communicated and people would be angry to get less

That’s because they have a fixed budget and the proportions are tied to evaluated performance tiers, increasing your rating would contractually require them to compensate you more from the same pool of money

He thought the timeshare was a scam, which is ironic because usually you have to have brains to figure that out

Is it a mobile SoC?

Ah yes maximum chaos

In Swedish, ända till ända

Someone will gag eventually if this indeed
