Billing by active users is quite common.

With close to zero OSS participation rate you can just pick a real living person and just keep in sync with their LinkedIn.

This only ensures the backdoors are coming from governments that issued the clearances, nothing more. I prefer more competition, at least there is incentive to detect those issues.

It will ensure that my OS doesn't have code from random Gmail accounts. If someone with U.S clearance submits a backdoor, they should either be charged in the U.S, or extradited to somewhere that will charge them. We have no idea who this person is, and even if we did we probably could not hold them accountable.

I have worked with people (well, consultants) hired based on the fact they breathe - I would much rather jump thorough some hoops than to have to work with them ever again.

In the 2022 thread it was mentioned the time limit was either 45min or an hour and not three hours, same as any standard coding interview.

That makes a lot more sense.

The OP, who had already done the task before, took more than an hour to complete it.

Ok, that doesn't bode well for the op.

Note, I haven't used C in 15 years, have never looked at memcached code and in fact the last time I used memcached was before redis even existed.

It took me ~26 mins which included reading the article, googling the memcached repo, downloading all dependencies, compiling a first build, grepping for references to incr and adding mult with support for negative arguments, refactoring the guts of incr into two functions to support the changes, compiling, fixing a few compiler bugs then testing, given a few more minutes I'd probably be able to get it PR ready with a full test suite.

I think their point was that number of people who use nix is a rounding error, perhaps due to poor user experience.

Not quite, openapi doesn't interact with variables and can't contain scripts or assertions.

Pretty much what Flyway does.

'Just'

Most people in this forum possess the skills and education necessary to get a skilled workers visa. So yes, just.

Yeah they're educated enough to know what a 50% pay reduction looks like.
