ljsNot going to dictate to you who to vote for but obviously I think there's only one sane choice and she's called Kamala Harris.
Even if you don't much like her, her party, or her policies, the alternative is so deeply shit and depressing just swallow your pride and do it.
If you do like her/her party/her policies then vote for her.
(yeah I lied I am dictating the choice sorry not sorry)
But either way GO AND VOTE!
Trump will concede the war in Ukraine to Russia, and if they win there, next he will attack a NATO country. Think about that. The people there fight for all of us.
The (alleged) greatest fraudster in modern history (+ alleged traitor to his own country and allegedly regularly in contact with Putin) Musk will be given a total reprieve and control of part of the US govt.
And this of course is far from the only issue that utter orange moron will wreak havoc upon.
GET UP.
GO VOTE.

aud@fire.asta.lgbtHello! I suddenly find myself needing a job... yesterday!
I'm an experienced software and research engineer with a load of data science skills; I've worked on profiling and tracing MPI/MPICH programs, supercomputer simulations, C++ debugging (including tracing MPI race conditions! fun!), statistical analysis of chemical simulations, web service API/work, some front end, etc. I've written/debugged/worked on projects in C, C++, TypeScript, C#, Python, shell, and dabbled in Rust. I'm able to jump on any project and learn quickly. I love working in supercomputing!
I'm putting together my resume but if you know if anyone looking for someone to hire, here I am! I'm open to contract and temporary positions, too, so long as they're remote. I'm in Portland, OR, in the US.
Boosts appreciated!

It's not a "silver bullet" for why we should be using rust in the Linux kernel, but it is a "big giant sledgehammer" to help squash and prevent from happening MANY common types of kernel vulnerabilities and bugs (remember, "all input is evil!" and this change forces you to always be aware of that, which is something that C in the kernel does not.)
I had always felt that Rust was the future for what we need to do in Linux, but now I'm sure, because if we can do stuff like this, with no overhead involved (it's all checked at build time), then we would be foolish not to give it a real try.
And yes, I've asked for this for years from the C developers, and maybe we can also do it there, but it's not obvious how and no one has come up with a way to do so. Maybe now they will have some more incentive :)
