  • The nights were cold. It was the end of winter, there was snow further up the mountain, but not where I was. I dug down into leaves so I was half buried most of the time. I talked and sang to magpies, there were other animals around. I think I slept a lot of the time, they said I was feverish and in some kind of shock from the broken ankles. Later on I thought it had only been a few days.

  • Dev jobs are about to get a hard reset and nobody's ready

    Jump

  • I suspect that will work as well as outsourcing to India did; in two years they’ll be hiring everyone back again.

    I’ll hire devs who can solve problems, no matter the stack

    Should have been doing that already. A decent programmer can pick up a new language in six months; it’s the ability to follow logic and solve problems that’s important, not the language they use. (Unless you’re switching to a completely different paradigm: Haskell to Python, for example).

  • How to use dd in Linux without destroying your disk

  • why does the author rely on pv when dd has a status flag to display its progress already

    Not all versions of dd support the status argument. I think it’s particular to GNU. If you’re working in a shop that runs multiple versions of Linux as well as multiple versions of proprietary UNIX then you tend to use the command that works everywhere rather than remember the exceptions for each. (I worked in a place that ran all of RHEL, SLES, Ubuntu, AIX, Solaris, and SCO UNIX).

  • Mount Buffalo National Park, 1982. Four of us left the camping area to watch the sunset. I stopped to take a photo and lost the trail. Went running after the others, slipped and rolled down a cliff, landed upright, but felt both ankles pop and break. (The whole park is Australian bush around granite boulders and cliffs). The others thought I had gone back to camp and didn’t report me missing. Next morning the group packed up and hiked to the next camp site, no one noticed I was missing until that evening, so they looked in the wrong place. I crawled to a creek and fell down the gully, drank snow melt, no one heard me shouting and crying. Eventually they gave me up for dead. Three German tourists found me by accident three weeks later, one went to get help. I got a ride in a helicopter, in hospital for two weeks while they fed me through a drip. The school gave me a payout through their insurance on the condition we didn’t sue them. I’m almost 60 now and my ankles still hurt and grind and pop.

  • Three and a half weeks, 25 days. More than forty years ago I was lost in the wilderness on a school camp. Broke both ankles and couldn’t walk.

  • What is a story in a song that would make a good movie?

    Jump

  • Yes, Wikipedia says:

    Rutherford named the song after the film Silent Running "because I remembered that film so well, and our song had a spacey feel to it."
