Ugh.. I personally hate these lists. Absolutely no value added, nobody is going to remember these, they're gonna learn them the hard way and most importantly, if they don't work directly with the timekeeping infrastructure, probably never. And if they do work on the timekeeping infra, they likely know all of this.
Sure, you might run into some quirk at some point in your career but they will end up being just another weird war story.
I worked directly with NTP. The nitty-gritty details and the leap second smears and all of that, for an absolutely huge network and I find this list patronizing, smug and worthless. It's some sort of intellectual masturbation or just another instance of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32335165.
I disagree. The point of a boss is to squeeze as much productivity as possible from contributors in order to meet business goals. If they do that as a humane understanding collaborator or as a micromanaging tyrant depends on two factors: what kind of person they are and how much leeway does upper management allow. If a boss is of the 'telling their boss to eat shit' variety, they're usually not going to stay a boss for long..
> Where is the war happening? It's happening at Putin's border. This is a defense war that Putin is leading.
This is an unprovoked war of aggression. The mental gymnastics in this paragraph is astonishing. By this logic, Hitler's invasion of Bohemia and Moravia were also defense wars, because it happened right at Hitler's border.
There is/was no conspiracy or threat to the existence of the Russian state. Nobody truly gives a fuck about Russia, as long as they keep the gas lines open and they don't use nerve agents to kill their dissidents abroad. Nobody wants to invade or nuke Russia, most westerners don't even think about Russia.
Same here. I only get delivery if the restaurant has their own delivery operation. Never had a good experience with any of the delivery apps, to the extent that I've been wondering who the hell is using them and how are they still operating.
