I'm a monolingual english speaker in the united states with a valid passport. I have a Bsc in Chemistry and nine years experience in customer service-related jobs, two years of which with frequent data entry. Outdoor work would have to be third shift, though other types of jobs could be any shift so long as it's not rotating. I don't have a Dutch driver's license and don't intend to get one. I'm willing to train for any additional certifications. #getfedihired #netherlands

I have created business cards, stickers, and a website for spreading awareness and push back wherever there are Harry Potter products.

The idea is simple: print or order some cards/stickers, then whenever you run into a place hawking hate-fund merch, drop a card and to let the business and/or prospective customers know.

Unsafe Operations in B-trees

Bin Zhang and Meichun Hsu (1989)

THE GLOVES ARE COMING OFF!!!

A simple mathematical model for analyzing the dynamics of a B-tree node is presented.

you would not BELIEVE how uncommon this sort of very basic analysis is across the database and filesystem literature from the past half-century

We call split, merge, borrow and balance operations unsafe operations in this paper.

in particular, these operations induce (global) contention, which reduces throughput

@timmy After some discussions with native Norwegians I am raising that to 70.

@ProPublica

Trump’s DOJ is not there to protect the rule of law, he made sure it is there to protect his interests. And SCOTUS and house and Senate let him.

When this is over these should be a trial to send these collaborators to jail.

I post a lot of stories about cops using Flock to stalk former or current partners, but don't forget that cops also use Flock to intimidate and harass people who try to hold them accountable.
