You don’t kill zombies; a zombie is already dead. You wait for or reap zombies. (A zombie process is just a process table entry with its exit status; it goes away once the parent process has read that exit status.)

Show me what Stalinism looks like
This is what Stalinism looks like
C++ programmers always let their friends access their private members, so …
If you can’t tar to a pipe into ssh to a remote host and untar into an arbitrary location there, are you really using Unix?
I’m reminded of the character names that show up in MIT CS textbooks, like Alyssa P. Hacker (“a Lisp hacker”) and Eva Lu Ator.
If someone sells something to you and then takes it back later, that is theft.
I hear he lets all his friends access his private members.
One of these, “free credit report”, is additionally full of scams. Here’s the FTC on the issue.
They don’t index Wikipedia. Why not?
Just be sure to pause for garbage collection occasionally.
I’m pointing at the architecture, not the specific implementation. Build something like Spanner, not something like a blockchain.
1a. I must have misunderstood the problem report.
1b. No wait, holy shit, how did this ever work!?
2a. The director reminded us, at the last all-hands, that we should escalate to senior members of the team if we don’t know how to check our work.
2b. … yeah, they’re at Burning Man.
3a. Remember, they knew I didn’t have a CS degree when they hired me. Dammit Jim, I’m a chemist, not a compiler engineer.
4a. It could be worse. I could be back in academia.
5a. There are more cute people in academia.
6a. HOW THE FUCK DID THE THREE-HOUR COMMIT QUEUE NOT CATCH THIS BUG BEFORE IT WAS PUSHED ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON?
6b. (looks up author of broken commit) Oh, we need to send more whiskey to that team on Friday mornings. That’d shut them up.
7a. … yeah no, imma run the regression tests another time against an unchanged repo
7b. … resync and run them again
7c. … fuck, this is fucking voodoo but imma do it anyway WHY DID IT BREAK NOW
8a. Wow, fixing that took, um, four actual bytes of delta?
8b. Everyone should slow the fuck down and see if they can fix all their bugs in four actual fucking characters of change to the actual fucking source code.
8c. What the fuck do I know. Megan committed 924 LOC last week that fixed lfile caching, and caught the btqmixer bug.
9a. Sleeeeeeeep.
“Hey, George? Can you send me a hundred bucks?”
“Password ass-sword? Gay geek goat god goon gout, Galaga Gaelic Gorky?”
“Hemp hops hoop harangue horny hope hobags, hyper Hungarian hippies.”
“Infinite Ixian idiots incinerate imbeciles in interesting inquisitorial igloos.”
“Just joking! Jerboas jaunt jerkily, just juxtaposing jinn, janky jobs, and jalopies.”
“What’s the password?”
“Always Swordfish.”
“Okay fine, come on in.”
Put another way, spam sites have become more effective at defeating anti-webspam measures.
That’s its goal, not mine!
A game has a set of goals, and you can quit it without dying.
If there’s no set of goals, it’s not a game, it’s a toy.
If you can’t quit it without dying, it’s not a game, it’s real life.
(Does real life have a set of goals? Depends who you ask.)
A Google spokesperson told Motherboard in a statement at the time of the unionization that it had “no objection to these Cognizant workers electing to form a union,” but that it would not bargain with them. “We are not a joint employer as we simply do not control their employment terms or working conditions—this matter is between the workers and their employer, Cognizant,” the spokesperson said.
NLRB seems to disagree. This will be an interesting case, I suspect …
… and I just realized that people fluent in sign languages could talk while they snog.
Doc, if you can’t count to 1023 on your fingers, you might be doing CS wrong!
Once you learn about parser combinators, all other parsing looks pretty dopey.
