> You are paid based on how difficult you are to replace
May be true in general but definitely is unrelated to location based pay (wouldn't it be easier to higher another faceless IC in the bay area than in OKC?)
Somewhat unrelated but Citi's software has been ... not very good from my perspective as a customer. The app is crashing/down frequently, as is the website.
sudo $EDITOR launches the editor itself as root, sudo -e launches the editor as a regular user on a temporary copy of the original file, and copies the contents back over to the original file when you are done. The less done as root, the less opportunity to mess things up.
Perhaps, but you will still overwrite it when you exit the editor and let sudo copy the contents back (that being said, there might be a race condition between closing the editor and sudo noticing that the process has terminated). Not sure if this would work, but a possible workaround could be to use /dev/shm (https://www.kernel.org/doc/gorman/html/understand/understand...).
The temporary file should be created in such a way that other users cannot modify it. If that does not happen, if other users can modify it, I would regard that as a bug.
Malicious processes running as the same user could potentially modify the file, but if you have malicious processes running as a user with sudo privileges you have probably already lost.
Mumble is pretty crummy for text chat from my experience. I still use it for voice on a fairly frequent basis, but having very ephemeral text logs (on client restart), and a lack of pinging users makes it a huge pain to use for text.
Yeah, I prefer IRC too. I ended up shutting down all my IRC servers. Most folks moved to Discord/Slack and it just wasn't worth the effort to maintain them for my use case.
I only suggest murmur / mumble because they are super east to set up.
A coworker suggested matrix, but I have been fine with murmur/mumble for my use cases. If a lot of people needed text chat, I would crank up the ol' IRC daemons and put TheLounge in front of it.
When I learned HJKL, I used the following mnemonic: The J key (like the F key) has a little bump at the bottom to indicate the resting position for the index fingers in 10-finger writing. Since the bump is at the lower edge of the J key, that means that J goes down.
Also I'm not sure how useful it is to test people on remembering minutiae of a system on the fly. How often are you correct about small details of a system you work with on a daily basis on the first try?
