If you don’t get published, you don’t get cited. If you don’t get cited, it appears your work isn’t important.

That said, every researcher I’ve emailed requesting a copy of a paper gladly supplied it, and many put them up on their uni sites.

I was l33t, and signed up with Prodigy!

It did not, and it had the nickname AOLosers for people using the service.

I mean, fwiw, I i don’t suggest buying them first… I prefer upcycling 2L soda bottles :)

They are more portable, easier to handle, and not a huge loss when they break.

Do people generally not have space to keep 7 days of groceries on hand?

I mean, I get some folks are houseless which obvs, they can’t do this…

But I am hard pressed to figure how someone can’t buy an extra canned good on a shopping trip? That’s literally 0.79. 2l bottles of soda aren’t things people.buy from time to time? Can’t harvest them from recycle buns?

I think a lot of this is looking at the end result, and seeing it to be impossible, because they are trying to eat the elephant in one bit, rather than just one bite at a time…

Instead of beer or wine, stock a few bottles of liquor. Vodka, preferably. Whisky works, but not as well. Because you can use it to barter, and as an antiseptic.

These shouldn’t be “extra” really. It should be food you eat already, so it’s basically “Keep your pantry stocked” level of “preparing”.

And I get it, money is tight. 3 minutes without air 3 hours without shelter 3 days without water 3 weeks without food

Start with water. You can upcycle 2L soda bottles (Rinse them, and don’t think about using upcycled milk jugs). And honestly, most Americans are storing 5 days+ of calories right on their bodies.

After water, buy 1 or two extra canned goods each shopping trip. Or a bag of rice. Or a box of Ramen.

And, if you leave it closed, it’s good for 2 days. If you have ice, you can prolong that. If in the NE, you’re biggest concern is power outages during winter, in which case, you can put it outside, between October and May.

Good info to have, is all.

Just did the math… a 64oz jar of peanut butter is enough survival calories for 6.75 people for a day. Or, one person, for 6.75 days.

Well, there’s a few, creative ways to do that.

ie, instead of a bed frame, stack canned goods under your box spring.

For water, get Water Bricks, and use them instead of milk crates to build shelving.

Just some ideas.

That said, 72 hrs is like a week of groceries per person, and 14 gallons per person. 14 gallons of water per person sounds like a lot, but you can get creative there with the water carboys stored in “shelving” that supports your TV, for example. Or, Water Bricks like I suggested before.

Rumors (Yes, just rumors, I know) have it that MS is working on a shim to be able to just use the Linux kernel under the hood. That’s what spawned WSL. It is a side effect of the work to get the shim between the Win64 userland and Linux kernel. The shim will probably be a temporary thing, until all the ABIs are done.

I just usually keep my hair tied back with a rubber band, a head band, or under a bandana, if doing most anything but just sitting.

We did.

Boxed wine.

However, bottle design is pretty refined, and they are quite reusuable.

It’s like that to push you to buy two of them.

Please be careful when copying anything that could be considered your employer’s intellectual property

Very unlikely $NEW_EMPLOYER will run all your ideas past $OLD_EMPLOYER to see if it’s their code…

So, not blocked, merged in, already maintaining a tree, just one maintainer isn’t sold yet on the implementation.

Im just not seeing a problem then? Aside from the person experiencing burnout, which I get. But burnout may not indicate a cultural problem, either. Especially if the person is coming off of a rough year, personally.

Then this isn’t being blocked?

If R4L authors want to use Rust so badly, then still:

Maintain your own tree! Let’s see how simple and clean these interfaces are over the longer haul.

They will get mainlined if they are technically superior.

No, he owes the community to fulfill his role in this community project

Not really. He owes nobody his labor. If people don’t like how he runs it, they can fork, and run it as they please.

He’s not a king or a monarch or whatever you think he is.

Of course he’s not. And, neither are you. Neither of you can place demands on others to perform free labor.

If he’s not ready to fulfill this role, he should step down as project lead.

Well, he thinks he is fulfilling his role. You don’t. So, its up to you to show everyone how to do it right.

I’ve found most people who claim others “aren’t doing it right” actually mean that “they aren’t doing it how I want it to be done, and therefore I demand they do the work per my spec, even though I’m not meeting any of their material needs.”

Or I can ask Linus to do his job properly and lead on this issue, whether it’s for or against R4L.

Linus owes you, nor anybody not signing his paycheck, a goddamed thing. Did you bother to read the article linked here?

You seem to be under the impression that I’m somehow involved with R4L or Rust, or that I even use Rust.

Ok then.

I’m just seeing an example of bad project management, and people like you that keep lying to justify the maintainers decision.

Nobody committing code to the Linux project, nor anybody doing the administrivia work owes anyone not involved in the project a goddamned thing. If you think you can manage it better, then fork, and do it.

Otherwise, you’re expecting other people to do free labor for you, and to do it to your specs. The world doesn’t work that way, and nobody owes you their labor.

Labor does. Laying out demands on labor does nothing, unless you’re the one meeting their material needs.
