Tech CEOs Want Every Worker to Have a Permanent, Publicly-Available Job Performance File

Two CEOs on a podcast casually proposed a shareable database of worker performance that would follow them between companies, forever, and encouraged listeners to create one. HR professionals say it's a terrible idea.

New York state passes first-ever ‘right to repair’ law for electronics - The Verge - theverge.com/2022/6/3/23153504…

“The passage of this bill means that repairs should become less expensive and more comprehensive: people who want to fix their own stuff can,” the post reads. “Where before, manufacturers could push consumers to use manufacturer-authorized shops, now they’ll have to compete.”

Another project to share: dbcli.com/

This is for everyone who prefers the #CLI over a GUI. The website lists #database clients for the CLI.

I personally use mycli mycli.net/ since some years. I used dbeaver.io/ before (for people that prefer GUI).

mycli has a nice autocompletion, configuration file and color support. You also can store favourite database queries. It also allows you to open the current query within vim :)

I thought I'll share interesting websites and projects I find along my way with you.

This one is the first:

#OpenSnitch is a GNU/Linux port of the #LittleSnitch application firewall.

It will show a dialog once a new connection is made. The user can decide whether it should be allowed or declined. As well as how long the decision should last. The decision can be defined based on IP, Port, Executable, etc.

#musl is a lightweight libc.

musl is a lightweight and standards compliant #C standard library implementation. musl uses Linux calls very closely, making it faster than more general standard libraries as better kernel-specific optimizations are made. musl is highly compatible with standards as well as with glibc, allowing for it to serve as a drop in replacement in many cases.

Error Handling In Rust - A Deep Dive | A learning journal

Error handling in Rust can be confusing - should you use a library? Which one? For what purpose? This chapter provides a structured framework to reason about errors as well as a guide on how to leverage the existing ecosystem (`thiserror`, `anyhow`).
