likely to often be #metal on these shows, due largely to me: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsgEi1WquPAGgPpLMY49wqQ/videos
I can barely get people to show up as it is, so very unlikely we will be moving to any sort of genre-specific recording.
We did, however, make a big breakthrough yesterday. I need to get that posted.

I don't think Perforce has a gender issue. I don't think OpenLogic on the whole has a gender issue. My team though, depending on how you count is 12 or 13 men (or 14 if you include the boss). Now, the boss' boss is female (I think Tim reports to Jill anyway, maybe he reports to Dan. In any case, the VP of Support is a female).
We have 1 Indian-American.
We have 1 gay man.
We have 2 black men.
We have a pretty diverse group as far as off-work interests. One guy lives in an RV! Only two sets of two people live in the same state, though we do skew east coast. As I see it, not having more of the US-based team on the west coast is a problem, I don't think it is near a big a problem as the gender issue.
I don't think we are doing super-horrible overall on the diversity aspect. The number is just too small to draw any huge conclusions, but the lack of any women is a huge problem if for no other reason than it is one that is going to get harder to address as the team grows.
We are currently hiring 5, so we have a huge opportunity to start to fix this. Most of the candidates I have seen have been men, though I'm not super-involved in the hiring process. Most of the technologists I know are white men (although I should reach out to an Asian friend and see if he's looking).
We are hiring 3 people in #Europe/ #UK, so in particular I would like to hear from Europeans on people to reach out to try to fix this. I don't know how much longer it will be until we start hiring, so I need to act fast if I am going to help fix this. Thanks in advance for any help!

I guess this is more of a physics thing at some level than a biology thing, but if there's one lesson I have taken from my cycling and running training, it's that human bodies are not robots. There aren't exact numbers for anything.
It's bizarre to me that the CDC and WHO were stuck on some 5 micron limit.

What versions of #postgres have table limitations, if any? Running into issues with #pg_dump. #postgresql

There's zero chance KY can't afford it. The people in Lexington and Louisville just don't want to. Same is definitely true of Alabama (though its Huntsville and Tuscaloosa) and Tennessee (though it's Nashville).
MS...well, idk all that much about it. My suspicion is there are enough lawyers/bankers/physicians from Memphis and NOLA that they could make it work.
WV...it's literally part of the DC train system, so I suspect they could do it. Of course, the mountains do limit traffic between DC and WV.
An easy fix would be to just make it $11, see what happens and go from there.

it was designed by a guy that lives on a boat right? I think Manyverse might well make sense for that situation.

more often than not, when it comes to teachers, the person with the masters does not get the job because the person with the bachelors is cheaper.

How do ulimits in a #docker container interact with ulimits in the OS? #SELinux involved at all?

I, for one, am ready to put this election behind us and get back to the important things, like how vim > #emacs.

This seems like a lot: "store up to 2 years worth of metrics."
I guess it depends how much data is being collected, so that's what I need to figure out.
Anybody collecting metrics? How much do you store?

I didn't read the article, but based on the podcasts to which I listen, the key to a lot of these injury situations are these three variables:
1. Periodization. For example, do you run every day or do you give yourself time to heal. I use the technical term because "when" and "how much" are very tied together, but in the end are very different.
2. volume. This plays along with point one, but a 5k and a 50k are very different.
3. Your equipment. In this case, I mean your shoes, but also the terrain (roads, trails, etc.), and your physical build (not just size, but foot type, etc.). If you roll your ankles a lot for whatever reason (which is definitely tied to trails and shoe type), then you are likely going to put a lot more strain on your knees.

I get that leaking security information might not be great, and I understand I am not a developer, so it might just be hard, but...
I tend to think devs should try to present permission issues as permission issues.

I would really appreciate shares to get the message out of this. Also, please feel free to translate. I would love to have native Spanish speakers in particular involved as South America is predominantly Spanish-speaking. I know Brazil is Portuguese and one of the smaller northeast countries is English-speaking, but we just need diversity in general and I think having native speakers of other languages is one way to do that.
It's that time again. We are looking for regional judges for the Creative Commons Community Music Awards. Please let me know if you would be interested in taking a region.
The regions we have available are as follows (two regions are already taken):
#Canada
Rocky Mountain - ID, MT, WY, NV, UT, CO
Mid-West - ND, SD, NE, KS, MO, IA, MN, WI, IL, IN, MI, OH
Southwest - OK, TX, NM, AZ
Southeast - AR, LA, MS, AL, GA, FL, TN, SC, NC, KY, WV, VA, DC (if someone really wants to do Northeast with DC, sure, take it)
#Mexico, Central America, and Carribbean (we haven't decided if PR will be here or in US Southeast)
#Asia (minus Russia)
#Oceania (including #Australia)
#SouthAmerica
#Africa
In the future, we would love to break the regions up more, but having smaller regions this year has proved unmanageable. How much of that is due to covid? Who knows.

I have been told in the past that once-a-day posts are fine but any more than that gets tiresome. I doubt I will post daily, but if I post about this too much, please let me know!

Usually, you go to court to determine if a witness is reliable, so this is kinda yikes:
'Cameron said evidence shows the "officers both knocked and announced their presence. It was also corroborated by a witness in an apartment near Taylor's." Therefore, Cameron said, the warrant was not served as a "no-knock" warrant.'

just because it existed, doesn't mean that's the version you were using...or that it was obvious how to implement

In #Tomcat, do you need to restart to configure log rotation using something like logging.properties? I am not sure why logrotate isn't acceptable, but apparently it is not. Different teams, perhaps.

Noor in Minneapolis was convicted, though he killed a white woman.
