1. Have a simple job to do. Figure out #Makefile will do the job.
2. Think a bit about portability. Makefile becomes slightly more complex.
3. You're finally done. It turns out that some stupid implicit rule in GNU Make fires and adds a `rm` at the end that removes part of the output.
4. Use #Meson.
Just an average #Gentoo day.
[UPDATE: Now I regret using Meson. If you do anything that's not 100% boilerplate, it just keeps throwing obstacles in your way.]

Every friggin' day on here. "hey my company is hiring!"
I look at the job posting and...

Currently testing Star Wars Jedi: Survivor with FSR 4 on Linux (thanks to Optiscaler oc). I must say I'm finally enjoying this and any other game I have tried so far to the fullest. There's just this nagging feeling of resentment that AMD doesn't seem to be in a hurry to do their own job and release officially FSR 4 for RDNA 3 on Windows and Linux, hence the turncoat hesitations. For what it's worth, I'd choose Linux over Windows any day.

Today is a good day (so far). Security officer is creating a course for those who administrate the accounts in the pay offices. He asked (very politely) if we had any materials which we sent. Some of the materials that were used (not our stuff) were years out-of-date.
We are glad as it is almost once a week we spend 15-30 minutes helping them learn their job as there was no one there in the position or the person left without any handover.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.
If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.
If you're under 28, the number is 100%.
Happy Labor Day.

all right. Done for the day. At some point, it becomes a bit of a losing battle using the shopvac. I'll let nature evaporat it hopefully by tomorrow. Probably take another day for it to dry out and harden up.
in the meantime, I can do the next job that I've been dreading.
Figuring out the fence situation. 😱

Dallas Cowboys' Day 3 rookie should obviously steal a starting job https://www.si.com/nfl/cowboys/news/dallas-cowboys-day-3-rookie-should-obviously-steal-starting-job

I’ve realized I actually enjoy working. What really frustrates me is that the big decisions about my day are made by people who have never even been on my shop floor. On top of that, the things I help make don’t even go to my own community, which just makes it feel even more disconnected.
Honestly, I’d get a lot more satisfaction from my job if we could run things democratically and see our work benefit the people around us. There’s a real sense of pride in building something for your …

Out of the Day Job: Perspectives of Industry Practitioners in Co-Design and Delivery of Software Engineering Courses
Over more than two decades, The University of Glasgow has co-designed and delivered numerous software engineering focused courses with industry partners, covering both technical and discipline specific professional skills. Such collaborations are not unique and many of the benefits are well recognised in the literature. These include enhancing the real-world relevance of curricula, developing student professional networks ahead of graduation and easing recruitment opportunities for employers. …

So fun things with this camper conversion. The day after I dropped it off he tells me a medical crisis is gonna stop him being able to do the work.
Later find out that now he's over 50 he decided to go on a health kick, and only drink distilled water.
🤦‍♂️
So he ended up flushing all the electrolytes out of his system and having a nervous system crisis the week he was supposed to be working on my van.
😆
Consult your doctors about your health-kicks people!
He managed to fit a kit thing, rather than do the custom job. Seems possible that will be enough and it won't be rescheduled, but live in it a bit first to find out.
Managed to sleep in it okay, even poorly parked on a slope and with a fractured wrist.

Good Morning #Canada
Yesterday, hundreds of women flocked to Washington D.C. to tryout for a few dozen spots in the new Women's Professional Baseball League. It's #Historic because it last happened over 70 years ago. It gives hope to young women who played baseball or softball at a high level in their youth, but there was no career path that involved a sport they loved. Many of those participating in the tryouts are from Canada, and certainly, one of the most interesting is Alli Schroder. At age 16, Schroder pitched the final inning for Canada’s National Team that won Bronze, and more recently, she has been striking out men in a university league in B.C. while her day job is fighting wildfires. Here's a TSN feature on her released a few years ago.

got tired of numbers, 10 calls per day at average, and while whitelist filter does its dirty job, numbers get blacklisted successfully.
I will never get unknown numbers' calls but I guess it's worth it.

MaLV-OS: Rethinking the Operating System Architecture for Machine Learning in Virtualized Clouds
A large body of research has employed Machine Learning (ML) models to develop learned operating systems (OSes) and kernels. The latter dynamically adapts to the job load and dynamically adjusts resources (CPU, IO, memory, network bandwidth) allocation to respond to the actual user demand. What this work has in common is that it utilizes ML to improve kernel decisions. To this day, and to the best of our knowledge, no work has taken the opposite direction, i.e., using OS to improve ML. While som…

Forecasting Labor Markets with LSTNet: A Multi-Scale Deep Learning Approach
We present a deep learning approach for forecasting short-term employment changes and assessing long-term industry health using labor market data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Our system leverages a Long- and Short-Term Time-series Network (LSTNet) to process multivariate time series data, including employment levels, wages, turnover rates, and job openings. The model outputs both 7-day employment forecasts and an interpretable Industry Employment Health Index (IEHI). Our approach o…
